Since they say a picture is worth a thousand words, here is a self portrait:

Ah, yes, the man who wears "a fleece" but not "a fleece sweater". Interesting regional differences will keep me reading! As for your self-portrait - I must say, you look a little creepy [those eyes, and the smirk] and if I was hitchhiking I would not get in a car with you. The fact that I've been reading a book about serial killers probably plays a part here! I'm assuming, as you're 24, that that is blond hair and not grey?

Good luck this season! I hope you stick around for a good long time!

[geniusinmaine]

That is blond hair, though I understand why you would think it's gray. I have posted a few photos of myself in the past--have you seen any of them? And your reading about serial killers most likely is playing a part, since those who know me would say that I am not threatening.

Thank you for the well wishes.

That's a fun portrait!

[geniusinmaine]

Thank you for saying that it's fun :)

[beautyofgrey]

I meant it well! I wish I could dig up an old self-portrait for you... if only I had my scanner...

[comedychick]

What comedy albums do you have? Is it like musical comedy or stand up?

[geniusinmaine]

Musical comedy--a bunch of Stephen Lynch and Weird Al albums, as well as the soundtrack to "This Is Spinal Tap."

[comedychick]

Ahh! Now I know what you mean. I am a little more familiar with Australian musical comedy, given I am from there (and it is partly what got me into comedy in general), but I think it'd be hard to find someone who hasn't heard a single Weird Al song :)

[geniusinmaine]

I actually don't think it would be as hard as you think--a lot of song parodies by other people have been incorrectly attributed to Weird Al.

As a fellow Red Sox fan, I would like to express sadness over today's events. Indeed, this was not a good New England sport's day.

[geniusinmaine]

It certainly wasn't. I thought Papelbon was reliable in situations like that.

Hi, Chris!

I haven't had that Sam Adams yet-- what is it like?

I totally lived in Boston in 2004 and it was one of the most fun experiences of my life!

It is nice to meet you! Good luck in the competition!

[geniusinmaine]

Thank you!

The Sam Adams is sweeter than any other beer I've ever had.

I agree, fall 2004 was the greatest sports-related thrill I've ever had in my life, and probably always will be. At least, it will be very hard to top.
