Name:
Location: Longview, Washington, United States

I live in a small town in Washington State, USA, with my wife, two sons, two dogs, a cat, and family nearby. I work at the local community college as an I.T. Specialist. In March of '02, we bought a 70-some year old house that needed a lot of work. When I'm not working on the house, I like to throw pots, be outside, and read a lot.

Three weeks after putting my fingers down on the woodstove top, I still don't recommend it to viewers at home.

  • This burning-of-the-fingers reminds me of a story. In 1981 a movie was released, its name "Conan the Barbarian", rated R. In 1984 there was a sequel: "Conan the Destroyer". This sequel is rated PG. Conan, now under rated, became a leader of his people, well, not HIS people. His people are somewhere at the feet of the mighty Ural Mountains. Conan leads the people of the Golden Bear.

    This allowed a new warrior to come forth, Scott the Civic-Minded. Scott found himself a fiery wench of great spirit. He knew her, and she bore him a son: Thomas the Lactophile. Thomas was a strong child, and drew many things of great value to himself...And here our story begins.

    It was a grey day of late winter. Scott was excelling in one of his many civic duties. Something caught his eye. One of his son's many-great-things was being threatened by the Black Radiant-Heat Dragon! Alas! What to do! But Scott knew well the ways of subterfuge...he played the pseudo-stumble card against the beast. Left foot, right foot...Lunge! With a mighty swing Scott the Civic-Minded thrust aside the beast and saved the great-thing. The beast (or was it Scott?) howled in pain! Its flames surged! Scott's powerful hands grasped on of the Dragon's arms, pushing it into the body of the beast...and the flames died, choked of life, but the body yet gives off the dreaded Radiant-Heat.

    Scott to this day bears the scars of his encounter.

    Moral: Line your gauntlet with asbestos before you grapple with Radiant-Heat Dragons.

  • And so it was in the days of high adventure...
    ... in my youth, when I quested for steel...

    Would I trade places with James Earl Jones.... hmmm... maybe. I like being me but being Darth Vader and Thulsa Doom would be pretty cool too. Imagine if you James Jones' booming voice. You could record greetings for all your friends anwering machines.

    Movie Trivia Question: What other box office smash hit did Jones and Max Von Sydow co-star in?

  • Sometimes I think Keith is actually unemployed and playing too much Icewind Dale II.

  • Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you will remember, if we were good men, or bad. Why we fought, or how we died. No, all that matters is, that two stood against many. That's what's important. Valour pleases you Crom, so grant me one request, grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then the hell with you!
