Father O'Blivion

Join the march and eat my starch!

About Me

Escargot; my car go 160 swiftly. I have seen the fnords. I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in. I am strongly opposed to Dane Cook and strongly in favor of Emo Philips. I am strongly in favor of sanity and discernment, and I am strongly opposed to idealism, politicians, and dumbies. I have a cat named Cathulhu (really!). AIM=SpecialDefect3

My Interests

Music, reading, movies, wasting time, conspiracy, puns, fjords, fnords, Seth Putnam, autoharps, dental hygiene, projecting power.

Someone who'll race cadavers with me and people who dislike Ayn Rand for the right reasons. And GWAR.
