I'm 21 years old, turning 22 on July 27. Leos rule. I've always been something of an artist, but due to school and work that's slowed down tremendously. I'm a psychology junior at LSU. Once a year, me and my family take a trip down to Grand Isle for some good fishing. I collect DVDs, having over 200. I have a girlfriend who is from Alabama and I'm constantly fighting with her over listening to and watching sports. I work downtown right next to the state capital building. Mystery Science Theater 3000 is one of the funniest shows ever created. I'm currently reading A Confederacy of Dunces and preparing for finals week. I used to hate beer, now that's what I drink the most. More specifically, Bud Light. I still love my Crown Royal with Coke, though. I like to wear sports jerseys, and I own multiple ones. Favre, Packers; purple LSU baseball; white, gold, purple LSU football; McAllister, Saints; Brooks, Saints; Shaq, LSU; purple LSU basketball; Davis, Hornets; and Bailey, Voodoo. I'm trying to find a cheap Roger Clemens one. Raising Cane's is my reason for living. I don't have alot of friends because I believe it's better to have a few good friends that I can trust instead of a bunch of acquaintances. I'm loud and comedic, but at the same time I'm shy until you get to know my type of personality. I graduated from Zachary High in 2002. Edit: Just thought of a couple more things. I'm 6'4" and I used to weigh 330 until I dropped 100 pounds. I don't like to shave, so I do it only once a week. I listen to Walton and Johnson every morning. The Who is my favorite band. I played tuba, trombone, and upright string bass in the high school band. I wanted to get on the electric bass so I could be just like John Entwistle.
I'm 31, live in Baton Rouge and am married with no kids - our 3 year anniversary is next week. I love Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper - they're even good together - a suicide. I'm a computer nerd who is about to lose his job. My company is being bought out and next week is my last week. Since I have no certifications, it's hard to find a company willing to give me a chance. I like to play softball and am addicted to MVP '05 for PC. I mod uniforms for this game and am active on mvpmods.com in this aspect. I'm not really active on TF too much when it's not football or basketball season. I'm opinionated but have a very good sense of humor - I have no enemies. I too have always been a boob man but am now starting to appreciate firm butts. Two sexy things that attractive to me are backless dresses/shirts and nice calves. I dip Skoal Straight - bad habit! I've "quit" many times but I always seem to start up again. Lastly, I WILL win the TF fantasy baseball league!
I vacation in the mountains. Standing stones and falling water have appeal to a boy from the flatwoods. Hound dogs. I haven't shaved since Christmas of 1976. Scraping one's face with steel is a barbarous practice. Boxer shorts. I have about 900 LP's that I rarely listen to anymore and when I can get some of the out-of print ones ripped down into iTunes, it will be off to Ebay with them. They just take up too much space. The Beatles. I am the quintessential happy bachelor. Some men are just better off without a wife. I've had two very long-term girlfriends who eventually gave up on me (most give up in a year or so). Of course, most of my old chums have 2.3 ex-wives in their history. I have two near-wives and I think I came off better. Ford trucks. In the 10th grade I decided that I would always be a second string guard in football, but I was going to be first-chair trumpet in the band. I also played bass in a rock group and the football crew-cut was no longer acceptable to my peers. So I dropped football and became a hippie musician instead. Tolkien, Cervantes, Asimov, and George MacDonald Fraser. I took enough drugs in the 1969-1975 period to sustain an Aerosmith World Tour. I'm still waiting for my first flashback. John Wayne. I voted for Carter in '76, Anderson in '80, Reagan in '84, Bush in '88, Clinton in '92 and '96, Bush in '00, and Kerry in '04. Four democrats, three republicans, and one independent. Charles Alexander . . . or maybe A.J. Duhe. I have a garage filled with my junk and a $30,000 Explorer sitting out in the weather. Only in America. Budweiser . . . heavy.
56, married over 30 years, 2 sons, 28 and 18. Work for AIG 22 years Carnivore. When I eat, animals have to die. Play golf, fish and hunt to excess. I snore so much my wife wants me to sleep in the guest room (my attitude is that it doesn't bother me so why should I move?). I love to read, mostly suspense and western novels (not the Louie L'Amour type of crap). LSU and Yankee fan. Ex- HUGE Saints fan. My political views are perfectly aligned with those of Sean Hannity, a great American. I am a Viet Nam veteran. I would be happy if Jane Fonda died a horrible, lingering, painful death. I have a very low tolerance for stupidity. If you can't spell, I will assume you are stupid.
26, single and loving it Poorly timed career, moved to Seattle with IT degree just in time to miss both the dot.com boom and the great musical era Due to grandfathering in and length of time to earn degree, was the last person to major in ISDS-Operations Management at LSU ever Heavily influenced by Nietzsche after Freshman year philosophy class, therefore a glass half empty personality Best beverage besides water is Grey Goose, rocks My inspiration/hero is James Carville I love to read, and favorite sports to play or watch are football, basketball, volleyball and tennis Relative newcomer to TigerForums, but making the most of my stay Career aspirations are to take the LSAT this October and either stay in Houston and go into real estate law or move to San Diego and go into sports/entertainment law I had a friend fed-ex me Cane's while in Seattle once. (still stood the test of time, sauce not so much) I regularly run on between 4-7 hours of sleep.
Fine Arts Major from LSU. (Curriculum in Ceramics.) Graduated in '88. My husband and I are living proof that opposites do attract. Have - and run - my own business. No two-legged children, but I have two beautiful Weimaraners. I can't imagine life without a gray dog! In '02 I worked on the staff of a campaign for Governor (Oklahoma). Not a volunteer, but real, paid, staff. It was an honor and the opportunity of a lifetime. I wouldn't trade the experience for anything even though my candidate lost in the run-off. (I still think he would make a great Governor!) My position was finance/fund-raising. Own a house in New Orleans (in Lakeview), and will kill my husband if he decides he wants to sell it. I keep all ties possible to South Louisiana. I am a foodie. I love to cook and I love to eat!
Will be 52 next birthday. Degree in Social Work. Regular guest lecturer at LSU 82-90. 5th generation college graduate, '74. Son and daughter are 6th family generation college graduates. Great-great grandfather graduated what is now U So. Carolina with law degree. Became a prosecutor in Mississippi, a friend of Jefferson Davis, State Representative in Louisiana, later a Confederate General in the big war. Other great-great grandfather Union private from Illinois via Wisconsin. Not pretentious. Milwaukee's Best Light. I keep expensive beer for guests if they prefer it but always offer the "Beast." I was raised Methodist but I don't go these days. Usually drink a few beers on Sunday morning and listen to the gospel show on the radio. Methodist weddings are nice but I prefer Catholic receptions. One of the better days I remember is when the local stores here started carrying Community coffee. I miss Louisiana in April, mostly because crawfish boils are rare in my neighborhood and I like to bass fish in spring. I rarely have any homesickness during the other months. I like geography and maps. Have worked or played or both in 42 states. Plan on visiting Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, North and South Dakota, West Virginia and Iowa and Ohio to complete the 50. Have traveled through, worked or played in all 64 parishes. I appreciate the opportunity to have seen all of my home state. I have no patience with Louisiana natives who couldn't find Leesville or Charenton or Bastrop or Elton if their lives depended on it. I had a great Louisiana history teacher in the 8th grade. I know all the parish seats. People who talk about "dirty politics" in Louisiana usually put me off. Ask them for an example and few can give specifics. Not defending some of our more infamous elected officials, just irritated that people buy in to this line of thinking without troubling themselves to take the time to research, read, and learn. Been in Texas 15 years. Have worked in and through 202 of Texas 254 counties. The diversity of the State of Texas reminds me of Louisiana, just more of it. I like the people in the valley a great deal, finding they remind me of people in South Louisiana. They work hard, play hard, mostly Catholic, value family, kids, old people, are loyal. I find many Texans to be very ignorant about their home state, much like Louisiana people. I have young people working for me who need a map to get to Corpus Christi. Shameful. I like songwriters. Dylan, Ed Bruce, Merle Haggard, Guy Clark, Lennon and McCartney, Rodney Crowell, Willie, Brian Wilson, Alan Jackson, Tom T Hall, Mark Farner, Billy Joe Shaver, all the Eagles. My favorite writer/singer changes all the time but today.....Chris Knight. I inherited 4 cats, age 15 to 2, total weight 62 pounds. My life is a hairball. I bought a Chevy Colorado 'cause I like it and it was made in Shreveport. I would've liked to hear Vanilla Fudge recorded in a 2005 studio. A rarely acknowledged supergroup (talentwise). I don't read books. I have ADD. I read 5-6 newspapers daily. I started going to LSU baseball games the year before Skip came (84?). Attendance was usually about 200 or so on Sunday afternoons. In Skip's first year, I bought a season pass for 2 adults and 2 kids for $30 TOTAL. The next year, it was $35 for the family pass, and so on in $5 increments. I am generous. I believe we all should be. I believe it comes back to you. I'm a cookin' sumbitch. Have done some catering for big events but not anymore because I learned it takes all the fun outta cookin'. I drink a 5th or so of Old Charter bourbon every winter. I savor it. The rest of the year, I leave it alone. Voted for Nixon and every republican presidential candidate since. I didn't realize that until started thinking about it while reading Red's post above. I never voted for Edwin Edwards. I played drums in a rock-n-roll band. Drums are boring instruments when you're alone. I play and collect guitars now. Ticket to my first Rollingstones show cost $4. Second time, it hit me for $6. Been an early riser since I was a kid. I'm up most days at 4:30. It's quiet then. Haven't been in a movie theatre since 1982. The sound hurts my ears. I wish I was a better carpenter. My favorite sandwich is the chipped beef on a homemade bun at Grayson's in Clarence, Louisiana. I'm just realized I missed lunch.
I am 30 years old. I am married and have 2 kids, a 4 year old boy and 4 month old girl. I live in the Dallas area and hate it. I live to go back to Reserve, LA whenever I can. I enjoy hunting, fishing, pretty much all sports, music, and movies. I actually went to high school in Ohio, played on a baseball team that finished second in state in 1992. I attended Baylor University as LSU was not really an option for several reasons. I enjoyed Baylor a lot, and the friends I made there. I attend 1 LSU road game a year as part of my marraige contract with my wife. She in turn gets to TIVO Trading Spaces. I like NASCAR...go Tony STewart...screw you Little E Favorite band is Metallica up until Loaded. Favorite movies are Jaws, Star Wars, Braveheart. I have been a moderator for this board for almost half a year now, and really enjoy chatting with you folks. I am a casualty adjuster for Safeco Insurance.
29 Married, no kids Fairly bad addiction to all aspects of the big three pro sports, and college football Wife's perfectly fine with it, since she knew what she was getting into! IT Auditor by day, Law school student by night (and some days -- don't tell my bosses!) Counting the days before hanging my own shingle Have seen every single episode of Pardon the Interruption (thanks to Tivo) Finding my iPod is growing attached to my hip, hate to be without it Developing a heroin-like addiction (again) to my old Mos Def, Tool, NIN, and Jay-Z CDs Wife's got me going to church again, and I think it's probably a good thing Would like nothing more than to go fishing (freshwater, saltwater, deep sea, in a mudpuddle -- doesn't matter at this point) Have a hard time finding time to go fishing which is making Jack a very dull boy Have been to about 15 countries...wouldn't mind knocking off the rest of 'em before I croak Been to 44 states...ambivalent on knocking out a couple of 'em (that means you, N. and S. Dakota) WILL go to Hawaii one of these days, wouldn't mind having a place in Montana, and not sure if New Mexico and Oregon will ever be graced with my presence Turbodog is far and away my favorite beer (and I like just about all of 'em.) Bulleitt Bourbon is my preference Met the owner of Bulleitt and thought he was a really nice guy. Didn't matter, b/c the guy makes some great hooch. Wish there was more time to feed my love of PS2 Two dogs, 105 pound Rottweiler and 7 pound miniature pinscher. The little one's crazy, the big guy is a phenemenal wrestler You stopped reading five minutes ago...
