    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Oh my. This is a cookie moment I'll remember forever I think.

I mashed an entire bag of ruffle potato chips between my ass cheeks when I was in college. We just wanted to see if we could reverse the eating process. Ahhhhh...too much tequila passed though our systems that night.

Anyway...it doesn't work and potato chips are damn sharp.

Ah yes....the entertainment of our higher learning system. Did you document it for your science project, or was it for sociology?? LMAO!!
 
Before and After

I shaved the beard and cut the hair about a month ago... a 2:00 AM decision... sleep is purely optional. I still wear the hat to shows so people recognize me... I miss the scruffy look.

... standard reptile guy, dressed in black with a bunch of piercings

This was actually, the day of my friends wedding.
 
Never thought about it

I really never thought about it, but I guess everyone tries to put a classification on things/people. Most people laugh at me for I am a feline lover and volunteer yet I have three kids with different animal interests. My middle child taught me about reptiles and totally fell in love with a little cornsnake named Jackson, I had to have!! I also would love to have a red tail boa and have had a bearded dragon. Would love to have another dragon with a possibility of a rosy haired tarantula. I will post a picture as soon as I learn how. My first response! Yes, as my son says, I am a newbie!!! LOL

Ok, so now you've seen me. Do I look like a reptile keeper?
Used to have long hair, but when assembling a frame for a chopper, welding sparks caught my hair on fire and I have kept in shorter since. One tat, but concealed, no piercings. Obviously, I ride motorcycles, but spend more time drag racing them. I am not into heavy metal or rap music, but rather oldies, 70's and 80's rock and the like. Used to do comedy shows; making folks laugh is great fun.
I did not graduate high school, but got my GED and went to college for four years, studying small business, vet assistant, EMT and certified nursing. Also got ASE master technician certifications, commercial drivers license and am planning on pilots license now.

Not exactly a history you would associate with reptiles, now is it??
 
Heres a couple pics of me....I'm sure many of you have waited a long time for this (if not, just keep it to yourself LOL):

I'm a big dork. I don't have many pics of myself, but someone took some at a Halloween party. I'm the cop.
