About Me

My hobbies are unicycling (I still have to use training wheels, though), "bus-spotting," and mycology.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet the person responsible for the wardrobe in the epic film Zardoz.

Television:

I love to watch hours of the baby delivery shows on Discovery Health. My favorite is "Babies: Special Delivery." I always cry. I also like "Baby Alert!" and the game show "Baby Fear Factor." "Baby Fear Factor" is kind of boring sometimes, because it's not hard for them to get a baby to eat a worm or grasshopper. Babies don't seem to be too discriminating with food. But babies do really freak out when they're tossed between two fast-moving jet boats.

Books:

I really like the novelization of the movie "Brewster's Millions" (mainly because I like the movie so much). I have twelve copies of that book. Also, I'm thinking of buying the novelization of the movie "Failure to Launch." I love Matthew McConahay! I know EVERYTHING about him!

Heroes:

My neighbor Vesuvius Wilson. From what I've seen, he's very skilled with the lawnmower, and I aspire to master my lawnmower that way one day.

Wrong Answer, Hombre

"Wrong answer, hombre."That is the phrase I most commonly use in talking to my five-year old nephew Reginald. The reason I use this phrase so much around him is that he is, for some absurd reason, th...

Pet Fashion Show

I went to a cat and dog fashion show Sunday, accompanied by my wife. It was a charity event at $35 dollars a plate. I figured that wasn't too high a price for a fashion show where one woul...
