Seriously...before anything, I have to thank Misplaced Pages for informing that there is such a thing as Chicken Fried Bacon. Proof, along with beer, that there is a God and that He wants us to be happy. Repeat after me, Chicken Fried Bacon, it's like a prayer and an answered prayer all in one. Thank you Jesus!

About me

I find this more interesting that anything that appears on TV--than anything my useless generation talks about.

I tend to prefer anonymity. Only a handful of people here know who I am in real life.

Apparently, some editors think I'm notable enough to have an article on Misplaced Pages and a few mentions in other articles--an occasion I regard with competing feelings of elation and dread.

I aspire to be a renaissance man. My interests are vast, eclectic and cosmopolitan--my curiosity even moreso. I am often surprised by the places I am taken in following my curiosity and interests. Topics that interest me: poets and poetry, classical music, alcohol, religion, botany, birds, stars, food (British, German, Austrian), New Jersey, New York, Boston and New England, London, Rutgers, Princeton, history off the beaten path. I rarely contribute to anything that remotely relates to my degree work or day job--only to my avocational pastimes--and if I contribute to an article, it is only because I know something about it and curiosity for some reason brought me there.

My Misplaced Pages philosophy

I miss the "Orange Bar of Death" notifying me when I had a new talk page message.

I have this problem, apparently, that I don't really care about other editors and care even less about their feelings. I guess I missed the memo that Misplaced Pages is a group therapy session where we sing Kumbaya, make s'mores, and act all fecklessly warm-and-fuzzy toward one another. I doubt they do that at Britannica.

I am probably among one of the more hated Misplaced Pages editors...and I don't care. If I'm hated, I must be doing something right. Misplaced Pages loves moral panic. I gather that they can cling to their hate so stubbornly because when the hate is gone, they will be forced to look themselves in the mirror and deal with the pain and realization of their pathetic existence they have nothing to show for their lives—they still live at home with mom, microwaving HotPockets, dwelling in the dark, dank basement next to the water heater, editing without pants. Hate me, go ahead. It doesn't sour the milk in my Cheerios.

On the other hand, Misplaced Pages seems to enable that feeling of moral indignation which permits envy or hate to be acted out under the guise of virtue. It's the stuff administrators are made of...after the lobotomy.

When my desire to contribute is outweighed by the bullshit I have to put up with, I'll consider devoting a larger portion of my precious time to fly-fishing, gardening, making things with my hands, fixing antique timepieces, or causing damage to my liver with tasty alcoholic beverages (some homemade).
