About Me:
I love words and use too many of them. I am drawn to
discussions of the things that most people get annoyed
talking about--politics, religion, colon polyps, etc. I
have gone days at a time inadvertantly speaking only in
cheesy fake accents: German, Cuban, Russian, Italian--you
name it. I do the world's best Velociraptor impression.
I've given up Faire, Rocky Horror Picture Show, and comic
books to rejoin humanity, but I still secretly buy D&D
books. *sigh* And yes, I can do finger tricks.

remember most about Erik is that he'll
eat/drink anything for a little bet.
If I remember right, just a quarter to
drink a cup of maple syrup.
Plus he's got a cool last name.....
on the planet, bar none!
Ask him about the migratory patterns of
the burrowing tree fish of Borneo
someday. You'll be glad you did.
Barbara when I got all sick and dropped
a deuce in that family's front yard?
Those were good times. Yup,....good
times.
him about 6 times. Which is about the
number of times he's moved away ande
come back again. The point? He's a
great guy, of course, that's the point.
american-pop-culture-knowledge is
going down the drain without you.
Erik is the motherest funnyfucker I know.
where he belongs. Where people love
him. So that we can stop having these
crazy dinners at Buca de Beppo...
just has a way with words. If you don't believe
me, go read some of the testimonials he's
written about others. A bit too smart for his
own good, perhaps, but funny as fuck.
me to him the first time I met him back
in the war. It was a fierce battle and
all I could do was give Erik the thumbs
up to get him to do the same. He kept
telling me to "cut it the fuck out" but
I knew what he really meant. I haven't
seen much of him since but I'll never
forget those fancy ass apposable
digits. When we do get together, which
should be any day now, we'll surely
reminisce and recant and engage in
thumb wrestling when things go quiet.
I'm sure he'll beat me, but I can't
imagine being beaten by nicer thumbs.
person. And I see he knows and
appreciates Danny Kaye -- bonus!!
Honestly, Erik is one of the most
special (not ed.) people I know. His
highfalutin whistlin and the new-
fangled finger tricks are yet another
bonus.
