Saw a similar post like this one elsewhere, although I've been doing this one for years (yeah, on every forum I get on ).
See what all you know about others...bet it's not everything! Copy and paste, add or delete whatever you feel like!
Name: Darryl B. (could use your real one, if you want)
Other internet alias': Witchfinder General, Witchfynde, Fatal Rewind
Place of Origin/Currently living in: Houston, Texas
Sex: currently not enough...oh, THAT sex! Well, I'm a male dude!
Occupation/work interests: Not working now, but I usually do career transition/resumes, along with temp and contract work, doing general office stuff
Interests: I have a rare illness that currently limits things (a lack of money is another factor), so most of the following is in regards to things I either used to do or would like to take up once I'm well and/or have money coming in: drumming, biking, indoor rock climbing, bowling, movies, writing (songwriting, mostly), women of all shapes, races and sizes (except for those in the "Lardbutt" and over category)
Dislikes: liars, backstabbers, people who don't listen to THE simplest thing after it's been explained 500 times, Houston's god-awful heat 90% of the year, Willard Scott
Favorite movie of all time: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Runners up: True Believer (my previous "favorite movie of all time" for 12 years until Rings came out), several Star Wars (some more than others), The Fugitive, Toy Story (both), The Iron Giant (ruled!!!!), City Slickers, Keeping the Faith, Freaky Friday (2003 version, believe it or not...man, that was damn funny!) and Rumble in the Bronx for their hilarity, Serenity (should've done way better than it did), RoboCop (THE best cyborg movie EVER made...NOTHING has matched the action, ideas, etc. since), Holes (gets way better after the first 10 stupid minutes), The Ring (American remake, haven't seen Japanese original yet), 28 Days Later (MAN that was scary! "Horror" movies hardly *ever* scare me, but that one did!)
Currently watches: dunno, what the hell's on? Closest stuff I watch would be The Big Bang Theory, I guess
All time favorite tv shows: Babylon 5 (despite the low budget, the BEST sci-fi series EVER!!), The Critic (too bad it didn't last any more than two seasons), Reboot, Night Court, Red Green (PBS), Hill Street Blues, Married...With Morons (uh, CHILDREN, that is!)
What?! There's other places than this site? (Other internet places of personal interest)
http://www.youtube.com, of course...my channel's (a bit pathetic of one, no motion video camera yet, just slideshows) on my profile page
http://www.imdb.com The Internet Movie DataBase has all kinds of stuff in regards to movies and tv; best part are the Goofs in movies that you didn't realize, the bad part is a lot of mistakes and bad info going around, so don't believe everything you read.
http://www.abandoned-places.com - well, this guy has great photos, but is an IDIOT for going to the places that he does!!
So what do I look like anyway?
This dude...taken at a gaming expo (obviously) a few years ago:
So what do I SOUND like then?
Feeling too lazy to see if an old link of my voice is still up elsewhere, but others might want to put up a message, I just don't have a deep and/or sexy voice though, sorry.
True pieces of personal trivia:
I wasn't born with what's commonly called "webbed feet", but two toes on each foot never fully separated.
I'm not left-handed, but I do several things with my left hand, like eat left-handed, use the tv remotes, and play some old video games (like Scramble) left-handed that have buttons on both sides of the joystick (my mom's right-handed, but my dad left, so that's where I got it from).
I have very excellent hearing; don't let the small ears fool you!
You remember that HORRIBLE Y2K incident when everything went to hell and the human race almost totally annihilated itself? Oh, that's right, nothing really happened. This is a fact, though: I actually own a piece of machinery that was affected by the Y2K bug. My vcr can't record programs anymore...which I noticed 10 days AFTER 2000 hit, so there's no way it could've been anything else, as all it's other functions still work. I can still record manually but the timer doesn't work anymore. So when it eventually dies I'm going to keep it since it's a museum piece.
About myself, in a nutshell: I like being by myself (especially with my current living situation, as I had to move back in with my parents)/am independent (somewhat), computers, gadgets, and games, drumming, MUSIC IS LIFE!! It would take five pages to describe all the kinds of music I have, so I won't bother (just to BARELY tap into it involves from heavy metal with folk to heavy metal with opera to dark ambient to new age to Indian music to video game music [yeah, I know! Go figure!], etc.). Looooove digital photography! Even though I'll never work in the legal field again I will probably always have an interest in law. Love animals, especially dogs and cats. I've also been published as a local writer, mostly as a movie critic, and would like to get back into songwriting again.
Guess that's about it...how about yourself?

Re: Introduce yourselves!
I liked the web toes part. I am also extremely unique in that I am one of the few humans who can put his hand completely around his ankle. For example, put your hand (don't matter which one) on your ankle and grab it. Try and make your thumb touch your middle finger. I can.Darryl B. wrote:Heh, really?

Hopefully this will pick up. I am spending the cash to do just that.Yeah, Atari Age. I was like 'must...not...join...another...forum!' But I miss talking about games, especially the 'classic' era ones...and all the forums I'm on are pretty much dead too, so oh well!

Re: Introduce yourselves!
I thought I was one of the only people that could do that! I can do it with my wrist, too. Sometimes having large gorilla hands comes in handy.Ter wrote:I liked the web toes part.

Can anybody touch their wrist/forearm with the thumb of the same hand?
Re: Introduce yourselves!
"Not I", said the cat. Need them "gorrilla hands", I suppose (I might have the hair of one; does that count?)
