1. My real name is Brendan
2. My favorite franchise is the Giants (I get into some trouble because I claim that all accolades and accomplishments procured in NY transfer to SF because they finally realized that its a better place to be)
3.I was introduced to this forum by my good friend Ari Houser, who happens to be one of the smartest and coolest guys I know, a follower of the jewish faith, and an A's fan (he believes its part of the covenant with Yaweh).
4.I love baseball and love the level of discussion that occurs here, but more than my ability to contribute, I love how much I learn.
5.I'm an english lit and philosophy major at St. Louis University (go billikens), so my hobbies are pretty much the wastrel variety: reading, drinking, engaging in non-sensical debates that go nowhere and are laced with esoteric literary references that make me feel better because of my lack of money and friends--just kidding on that last part. I love music (of the Van Halen, AC/DC, G 'n R variety all the way back to Schubert with some zep, who, and stones in between). I'm also an outdoorsman; I spend my summers in the Sierra Nevada's at a boy scout camp. And for KCBoomer, I'm a fan of flor dominica, though I an be persuaded to engage in a Lars Teten or Cohiba on occasion.

Say hey, welcome!

I am glad you like it here. If you are looking for intelligent debate go where the waters run deep in Skip's end of the pool.

If you are borderline bizarre, you can hang out in the shallow end with me.:wavey:

What end of the pool for those who are looking for intelligent debate, but are no doubt about it bizarre?

And to complicate matters even more, let me add that I can't swim.

You can get your feet wet by me. If I get the "I don't know what you are talking about look".........well I don't know what you are talking about.
:D

It's called the hot tub.

I had trouble reading that post, with the apple in front of my face.

It's not a pipe, you know.

Should those that can't swim be forced to swim by virtually throwing them in the deep end and see how they do?

Also unrelated, but a favorite joke of mine:
Martin Mull: You gonna use a 220 for that? (referring to some electrical project Michael Keaton's character is working onin the movie Mr. Mom)
Keaton: Yeah. 220, 221. Whatever it takes.
