- OK, OK, I may as well join in on this:
-
- Patrons may notice a table near the wall piled with textbooks,
- behind which sits Gecko-boy, a tall, skinny haole* guy (*that's
- Caucasian, to you mainland sorts) wearing a bright aloha shirt
- and jeans. He has wire-rim glasses for near-sightedness, a roman
- nose, and crew-cut brown hair.
-
- "Mike, can you shine the harsh LoR this way?"
-
- The bartender obliges, and the patrons can see that Gecko-boy
- looks much the same in RL, though perhaps somewhat less ...
- reptilian.
-
- "Thanks, that's quite enough. There's not much else to tell.
- I'm here in hawaii trying to complete my eternal bachelor's
- degree, which was once to have been in philosophy (way back,
- at NYU in New York) but somehow has become computer science.
- I was born in '68, which makes me young enough to drink.
- I'm unhappily unmarried -- my VSO, Ms Rabbit, resides in NYC,
- which is vast oceans and a fairly large continent away."
-
- "In my spare time (hah! private joke...) I'm the co-founder
- of a struggling game company, an avid reader of fiction,
- occasional scribbler of same, and Wahine volleyball fan."
-
- "Is someone taking all this down? No? Ah well. Oh, and
- to any newcomers I may not have welcomed already, welcome
- to Callahans."
-
- With that, Gecko-boy goes back to reading a massive tome
- entitled "Automata Finita and Other Black Magicks."
-
- He looks up again. "Oh yeah -- I'm also lurking." ;-)

- ...da geck'
