Nice to see another Canuck on the board. I hail from Ontario. I couldn't help but see other similar characteristics.

I'm also into squash although I don't get much time to play now that I have a 16 month old daughter. I too am a book and movie lover and an 80's "old-timer".
Just wanted to welcome you. Legionworld is a great distraction from the world of academia. [/QB] Thanks for the kind words Owl Lad. There are a number of canucks on here ... and a few Vancouverites to boot! I love this place. I'm still getting my feet wet in the posting department, but I'm sure in a little while I'll be posting up a storm ... hehehe.
There are very few personal problems that cannot be solved by a suitable application of high explosives.

Just wanted to welcome you. Legionworld is a great distraction from the world of academia. Just registering. I'm a Canadian. born in Ontario - actually lived in Vancouver in 1982 - and now live in California. But I maintain my Canadian citizenship.

Please remember to take down all political signage after the election.
Article 47, subsection iv.a of the 87th ammendment to Legion Constitution states,
"Please remember to take down all political signage after the election."
Violators will be subjected to repeated readings of "Legion on the Run."

Name: Ger (aka Gerald, Jared)
Age: 34
Where you live: Dallas, TX (soon to be Odessa, TX)
What you do: as little as possible
I started up a fun Legion web-site shortly after the new series started but now I can't even remember the address.
I was a member of the old DC boards and the LMBP for a while then tragedy struck and I was lost in the Kwai-verse for a couple of years. I found my way back to find the Legion has grown and changed and blossomed.

[/b]I'm actually going there to go back to school. I went to the Art Insitute and have a degree in Commercial Art, but I have no portfolio and have no experience with the current software used for graphics so I'm practically un-hirable. I'll have to start from scratch so I'll probably go to Odessa College for my first year or 2 as I hammer down what I want to major in, then transfer to UTPB to finish up. It is very scary -feels like I'm taking 10 steps back.

Name: Mike - minesurfer Age: mid 30's Where you live: Just outside of DC near Dulles Airport What you do: Civil Engineer (Purdue Grad 1998) Legion info: I like all of the Legion characters. Some more than others, but I would say my current affinities are for Andromeda, Querl, and Ferro. Creators... I very much enjoyed DnA's run and the beginning of the reboot. I started reading in 1998ish. I picked up The Beginning of Tomorrow TPB and just started getting all of the back issues. Once I had all of the reboot, I went back and started with No. 259 and worked my way forward. I have about six more HC Archives to get, and my collection will be complete. Other things I like: I'd better mention my loving wife first here (just in case she ever reads this) . I am a Big Cub fan. Love Indiana University Basketball too. I like good movies but tend to stick with Sci Fi and Action flicks. Other than comic books, I've read alot of John Douglass' work (he helped to start the Behaviorial Science Unit for the FBI). The Star Wars Expanded Universe books have been enthralling so far. I use to play Diablo2 online, but have recently started playing the Wind Waker on Gamecube. My big Legion Extra Curricular activity is my Customized Legion of Superheroes Action Figures. You can find some links to a mock convention I participated in during the fall of 2003 in the Trophy Room. Someday they might even end up on Lightning Lad's page.
Something Filthy!

There's precedent in my family for being a Purdue Grad, but an IU basketball fan. My father has an Analytical Chemistry degree from PU, but is an IU fan.
I have immense respect for the job that Keady has done with that club. They look like they are going to be really tough this year. I don't see my Hoosiers beating them. They are just too tough inside.

Don't remember if i have filled this out yet or not, so here goes:
Rickshaw1, actual name, Rick Bennett
Occupation: Tree Killer, help to ensure that everyone's favorite funny book comes out.
Age: 36
Marital Status: Today is the 1 year anniversary of the day i asked Carol to be my missus. Still haven't figured out why she said yes, but an oral contract is binding and i havent let her out of it.
Location: Sumter South Carolina, but currently house hunting around Lake City SC.
Legion Info: Started reading around issue # 214, been reading ever since. Have many of the adventure and superboy backups printed in the digest form. Want the Hardcover Archives, but who the hell can afford forty dollars a book. Most liked character: Brin
Lest Liked character: Mon-el currently, he's damn boring. Jazmin a close second.
Favorite era: Earthwar. Shermans art was decades ahead of its time, and still better than most out there now.
Awaited events: Currently, how Brin is really from Zoon, and how he ended up on Rimbor with powers.
Other favorite things: Humor in books, scuba, baseball, women's beach volleyball (watching, not playing), woodworking...these are just hobbies. My favorite thing is my wife. There are just so many intersting things i can do with her.
Current activities: I hold the title of Legionworld's Resident Cranky Poster. And with damn good reason.
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!
Something pithy!

Considering how smart they are, you're probably right. Do you have personal experience with the breed?
At any rate, even if a corgi could be trained to spank me, I'm afraid I prefer a human hand...
