Re: Getting to know you
Gender: Male
Occupation: researcher and financial forecasting by day/ screenplay writer by night
Favorite Food: Sushi
What song is currently stuck in your head?: Handle Bars...
Religious affiliation?: An atheist fond of Mormonism
Other Pastimes (other than message boards): Surfing, Baseball, gym, fine beer, backpacking, camping, fishing, wakeboarding, girls...
Location: Los Angeles County, CA
Why your avatar?: Ayyan Hirshi Ali was my avatar for a long time, but I think people started to think it was a picture of myself, so I've changed it a few times. Currently it's one of the greatest writers of all time, Hunter Thompson. I'll probably change it soon.

I'm going to have to see if I can pick up their album on my next trip to the record store. I meant to after they were featured on NPR, but I totally forgot. Thanks for the reminder.

Getting to know you
First Name: Inc. for now
Gender: Male, mid 40's
Occupation: Undisclosed
Religious affiliation?: Submitted my request for resignation not long ago. Unaffiliated - now a "dry Mormon"
Other Pastimes (other than message boards): Undisclosed, but I would prefer to engage in a physical activity than just attend an event.
Location: Mesa, Arizona
Why my avatar and sig line?: I am at am impasse with a church that considers my relentless pursuit of the truth "Inconceivable". I've found irony in this. The Dread Pirate Roberts made no inclination to be either "dread" or a "pirate" - it was simply a rumor. The real person is somewhat of a decent fellow.
I feel inclined to remain anonymous because of the negative affect it may very well have upon my wife and children. As mentioned before, I am here to enjoy the company of some while sorting the good from this trainwreck called Mormonism.
