Hey its me

Excellent descriptions of Grind, Billy, and 3D btw. I concur, sadly 3D is the sanest of the lot, in fact he is probably the only sane one among them, and Grind probably is what you say. I can't say I think Billy is a good guy, considering that he insists he's dead serious about wanting most of us to burn to death in front of our families for the holidays, or die of cancer this year. (and who knows, maybe one of us will).

But you know how we feminists have "no sense of humor".

I am new here, and would like to introduce myself.

Who I am....

I am a 48 year old guy who likes to work with my hands, use tools, and mostly keep quiet and think about things. I have 5 Children, Elizabeth who is 23, Joel who is 20, Joanna is 17, Daniel is 15, and Christina is 12. We live in Columbus, Ohio, and all 5 of my children have different political views. Elizabeth is a social conservative and a fiscal moderate, with a real concern for the rights of the homeless. Joel was hardcore conservative Republican, but of late his long term liberal girlfriend has changed his viewpoint on several issues. Joanna is fiscally conservative but openly gay, so she is very liberal on social issues. Daniel is an Eagle Scout who goes to a very liberal high school that is oriented towards the artistically gifted-his political views tend to favor both fiscal conservatism and maintaining the environment. Christina is very pro environment and a fiscal moderate. We have lots of interesting discussions around the dinner tale.

I like most of the people I am represented by, although I disagree with all of them on quite a few issues. I find Obama to be a very good president, and I like both Sherod Brown and Rob Portman, my senators. My congressman, Steve Stivers, is actually a military veteran who seems to ahve high ethical standards-even though I tend to be more liberal than he is, I like the guy. Our governor, John K, is actually a person I do not really trust or like on the other hand.

Enough about politics....me personally....

I love Reading, auto racing, and woodworking. Specifically I raced a Mazda Miata in Sports Car Club of America, Buckeye Miata Club, and Porsche Club of America racing in a form of racing called autocross. Right now that is kind of on Hiatus, as I focus on spending time with my family. Woodworking wise, I really enjoy working with quarter sawn oak and building mission style furniture. In terms of reading, right now I am enjoying books about environmentalism and military history more than anything else.

I am married to my college sweetheart, Kim...she was 18 and I was 19 when we started dating....hmmmm...what else....

I work for a religious institution (Capital University, which is Lutheran) and attend a Presbyterian church, but I am not very religious.

Looking forward to being part of the forum, and sorry if my intro was long winded!

Thanks!

Chris

Dude if live in the center of the universe, Columbus, Ohio, that makes you good people.

Don't let Billy throw you Stang....he's played one to many rounds of Bobbing for French Fries living there in Detroit.

Billy (French 75) is part of a group of 5 young people who can't count. They call themselves "The Trinity". His partner in crime is "Grind" and lord knows what he's calliing himself today. Billy is ok...he's an ex Marine/Iraq war vet. Grind is a very charismatic psycopath...watch out for him. The other major member of the Trinity is ThreeDee...he's from the Seattle area and is into big hooters, beer and revisionist history. Unlike Billy and Grind he's compartively sane.

Just wanted to warn you about the Trinity so you didn'td get confused.

I'm a fellow Buckeye. A social liberal and moderate to conservative on fiscal policy. I loath reactionary right wing politics. I'm also widely regarded as one of the biggest arrogant assholes on the board and have been accused often of being in an alternative relationship with sheep.

But your a rational asshole. I'll take a rational asshole any day.

You ohioans have a warped sense of rationality.

It's the cold.....

I hate to be a stickler for detail, but for it to be an alternative relationship wouldn't you have to have had an additional relationship with someone other than a sheep?.....

1) Mott has me down perfectly.
2) There's far too many asswholes around here for him to be even Top 10 (certainly top 15 material, though).
3) One guess from big hooters, beer, and revisionist history which is my favorite...

[PostmodernProphet]

1) Mott has me down perfectly.

ah, that must be the additional relationship we were looking for.....

[Minister of Truth]

Of course, I do enjoy burying my face in beer, don't get me wrong!

Even though I don't get along with PiMP very well, he does show a wicked funny sense of humor from time to time.

They always loved my sermons. I actually had to make copies available after each service there were so many people who wanted to study it further during the week.

Did you think I meant your sermons?

Yeah, we've enjoyed your double talk parsing of words and bending word definitions here long enough to appreciate your 'sermons'.....personally, I think they suck.
