It floats...it floats... What floats? Ivory soap, you dope!

Semi-important things to know about me

 * I was born male, and identify as such.
 * I was born white, and sometimes I feel guilty about that.
 * I was born in the 1970s, but I didn't get to enjoy it.
 * I am an only child, and people regularly guess that, which annoys me.
 * I was against marriage, until I got married, and now I am mostly just confused about that.
 * The &#8733; symbol in my signature is a nod towards my (once) propensity for fishing. Don't read too much into it.
 * I am non-religious. Most would probably describe me as "atheist," but I hate that word.
 * I stopped fishing regularly a while back because I felt bad for the fish.
 * I don't, as a rule, kill animals, with the exception of some bugs and snakes, but I still feel sorry for them.
 * Even so, I am okay with eating meat. In fact, I love it.
 * I am a really good cook. My speciality is sour cream mashed potatoes with cheddar, bacon and chives.
 * I think alien visitors to Earth are probably real. My current theory is that they are most likely time-travelers from the future.
 * My favorite comic book character is Spiderman.
 * My favorite book is There and Back Again by Tolkien, or possibly The Drawing of the Three by King, depending on when you ask.
 * My favorite move is the original Ghostbusters.
 * Lynyrd Skynyrd anthems make me cry.
 * I can build a fire in the soaking rain. It's a skill I wanted to include on my resume, but my wife said "no."
 * Dogs > cats, but I am leaning more toward cats the older I get.
