Avatar from this TV show which ran from '60 to '64. As a kid, I loved the show.

Mattia Binotto's expression represents what all Ferrari F1 fans think about their 2022 season... and it echos my expression I give my co-workers...


Screen name ==> Studebaker Hawk... not for the car, but for a Frank Zappa reference.

Current one is obvious I hope. Previous to that was a stylised coloured question mark after someone complained there were too many grey question marks, and before that was a watch face with colour palette reversed.

Pic of my old dog Jasper, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, 13 years old at the time. I signed up just before he passed.
My user name is my name plus some prime numbers. Boring, but hey I'm an accountant.

So despite my time in Tallahassee, I think I'm technically more Gator than "'Nole".
That’s why I phrased it in the form of a question. You could have been a Hairy Cane or UGa-ly Dawg.

Avatar: Watch a few episodes of Kojak and you’ll understand. He was quite a character. I had him as a screensaver before Telly and I shared the same hairstyle.

User name. Play on words. Dur à Cuire is French and Google translates it to Badass. I always preferred tough guy. Been in so many fights; was hit by a truck; survived cancer (so far); choked at a restaurant and received abdominal thrusts, had three rounds of « Cardio Version » (defibrillator to put heart back in sinus), was jumped by a guy with a pitchfork, etc… there’s more stuff!

Since I work with leather, I changed the « Cuire » (bake) from Dur à Cuire to « Cuir » (leather).

So is it true that you never used a radar gun to issue speeding tickets?

Indeed. I was more into stopping real bad guys. Drugs, guns, cash, other contraband. My boss once said: »hey, you gave out one ticket last month. » and I replied « yeah but he was an asshole and deserved it »

The boss never bugged me again.

Tommy was my, or rather, our, deaf cat; he was named for a certain rock opera pinball player. 1996-2012. Presto keeps us on our toes now, and we adore him to bits, but we still miss Thomas every day.

Too bad. About only time Tachymeter might have come in handy.
