About Me


A former professional Stagehand, and an absolute chokemeister of an Archer, I love fine food, bitchin' movies, beers of the world (brewing and drinking, especially the drinking), neat Scotch and the Blues. I consider Mankind's three greatest acheivements to be the Arch, the brunette and the Margarita, though not necessarily in that order. I make the single best cheesecake on the planet and the same goes for my zabaglione, tiramisu and flan. And my gumbo? You should be so lucky. Always remember, and don't ever forget, "Chicks dig good food".
I JUST LOVE THAT MANLY CHEF!
You Are a Classic Martini
You area sophisticated drinker, who knows that simple quality is over-rated.
You're a knowledgeable drunk, but sometimes you're a know-it-all when you're blasted.
You should never: Drink and gossip. You tend to forget who's standing right behind you!
Your ideal party: Has a real bartender. But no one mixes a better drink than you.
Your drinking soulmates: those with a Chocolate Martini personality
Your drinking rivals: those with a Margarita Martini personality What Flavor Martini Are You?

My Interests

I am interested in just about everything except sports, not including archery. Archery is seriously cool. I also dig photography, old Mini-Coopers and magic, except for David Copperfield (my archenemy).

SITTING DUCK by Gregory Bedard

I'd like to meet:

Peter Jackson - Because he did what I knew to be impossible. James Randi, Penn & Teller and Ricky Jay because there's still room in my skull, Salma Hayek because I'm a guy and Michael Caine because he's fucking Michael Caine!
