- Research the military (particularly in DC area)
- Create and edit military Wiki-articles
- Love the military
[edit] Favorite Places on Earth
- The National Mall at night, facing the U.S. Capitol Building

- Pentagon River Entrance at night, looking towards the Washington Monument
- Fenway Park--all true Americans love the last great ballpark in existence
- Buffalo Bill's Grave on Lookout Mountain, Colorado, overlooking the Denver Metro area and Eastern Plains
- Georgetown, Colorado, particularly at Christmastime; the greatest little historic mining town in the Rockies...but I'm still glad I never lived there.
[edit] Things I'd like to get for people
[edit] Things I like
- Harold Lloyd films, particularly from the silent era (e.g., Safety Last!, The Freshman, Speedy, Why Worry?, Grandma's Boy, The Kid Brother, and Just Neighbors (short))
- Other silent comedy films (e.g., Buster Keaton's The General and The Cameraman, and Charlie Chaplin's City Lights)
- Baseball
- Chicken
- Classic war films, especially POW movies
- Musical Comedies
- Aston Martin DB5s
- Curling: Funniest. Sport. Ever.
[edit] Things I don't like
- People who disrespect ANC.
- Soccer (honestly, what's the point of this game?)
- Seafood (how can you people eat that stuff??)
- Red Sox turncoats. May God have mercy on your souls.
- Whoppers. Worst Halloween candy you could ever get.
- Stepping in and/or looking at some foul person's spit on the sidewalk. Just swallow it, for cryin' out loud. If the rest of us can do it, so can you.
[edit] All-time favorite actors
[edit] Least favorite actors
[edit] People I don't get along with
- O-4s (USN, in particular). O-4s are like teenagers: they don't know enough to be effective, but know just enough to be dangerously annoying.
- Yankees fans (obnoxious in every way possible)
- Fellow Republicans who still think George W. Bush is a competent leader.
- People who argue with me but clearly don't have a point to their side of the argument. Let it go, man.
[edit] People I do get along with
[edit] Proof of my accentlessness
What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The West
Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.
