Also, not drunk but writing very much like a drunk right now for some reason.

Sorry to hear about the unemployment, also, BMFC. Don’t stay here as long as I have; it sucks. I’ve always loved the alias, knew instinctively its probably origin and thought it very witty and original of you. Still do. Great list. I keep wanting to do mine, but 19 months into otherly employment status, my centers all around work. Ugh.

Sorry about the layoff–that blows. But hey, at least it leaves you free to pursue bar ownership. Have you had a name picked out forever too? Because I would totally go to the Botswana Meat Commission Tavern. Or, for that matter, Emporium of Drunkenness.

Indian…

#13 = Hawaii? I’ll have to check that out. good one.

as for my avatar: It’s a picture from a few years back of Diego Maradona, the Argentinian soccer player (actually he’s a manager now). He’s a notorious cokehead and for some reason a few years ago he ballooned to like 300 pounds and became “Maradona Grosso.” I just love the idea that a fat-assed cokehead is also considered possibly the greatest footballer ever.

1. Yes, the avatar is almost as funny as your name, which is almost as funny as your excellent comments on that other site.

2. And “Get over it” and “You should stop drinking”.

3. You’re a dude?

8. Sounds like the perfect time to get your unemployment direct deposited, and ditch the wifey for a few months and do the Appalachian Trail.

13. What’s the only US state that doesn’t have a single straight line anywhere on it’s border?

17. Me too! And, people who always say “Bless You” for no reason. Save it for when I sneeze.

Great list! Hope you get a job soon!

I really like this list! Welcome to the Aftergawker.

1. Ah, that’s where that comes from. Now, who’s the avatar – that’s been other puzzle of your handle.

4. I’m not married, but have dated men of other races and been afraid of being labeled a fetishist – in part because it limits my dating pool, dammit. As it turns out, people will make that assumption regardless and it’s annoying.

12. Botswana is like “Hey, what about me, pal? Good enough for the name but not the plane ticket?”

7. I’m sending my Pinkertons and they are armed with pandas (pandas are really big on this site for some reason).

Thanks sharing the background of your screen name. I’ve wondered about that.

I’m totally with you on #18. I’ve always wanted to live overseas. I tried to when I was in my 20s, but it just never happened. I’d like to think that someday I will. Funny you mentioned Nice, because one of the places I think about living is the South of France. I love it there.

Sorry to hear about the job lay-off. That definitely sucks. Hopefully you’ll find your next gig soon.

Welcome to Wordsmoker. We’re glad to have you. Hopefully you are happy to be had.

I really enjoyed this self-portrait, you seem like a very cool person, with a very nicely intricate and interesting history, interests, and family. (Though I hated Nice, but it was my circumstance I think.)
And thanks for clearing up the intrigue of Botswana Meat Commission! Best to you.
