History Tropers / BananaPancakes

[[NonIndicativeName Despite the handle]], I’m not very fond of (raw) bananas—but I do love celery, cucumbers, broccoli, cheese, and Kalamata olives.[[note]]Pancakes, however, are pretty good.[[/note]] I have a reputation for being very liberal, independent, outspoken and mercurial.

!!Some of my favorite movies:

* ''Film/{{JFK}}''
* ''Film/AllThePresidentsMen'' (for which I created the [[Laconic/AllThePresidentsMen Laconic Wiki page]])

* ''Film/PlanesTrainsAndAutomobiles'' (created the [[Laconic/PlanesTrainsAndAutomobiles Laconic Wiki page]])
* ''Film/{{Goodfellas}}''
* ''Film/TheTrumanShow'' (created the [[Laconic/TheTrumanShow Laconic Wiki page]])
* ''Film/LawrenceOfArabia''
* ''Literature/TheOutsiders'' (and, yes, I read the book first)
* ''Literature/LifeOfPi'' (ditto)
* ''Film/OfficeSpace''
* ''Film/CanadianBacon'' (created the [[Laconic/CanadianBacon Laconic Wiki page]])

!!Cool TV shows (per my own [[SelfDeprecation kind of dumb]] standards):

* ''Series/{{Community}}''[[note]]Six seasons and a movie![[/note]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''
* ''Series/TheFollowing''

* ''Series/{{Firefly}}''[[note]][[SugarWiki/TVTropesWillEnhanceYourLife I would never have heard of this show if not for TV Tropes!]] :D[[/note]][[note]]And my mother, who watches ''Series/{{Castle}}'', has said she might watch ''Firefly'' too![[/note]]

!!Other pop-cultural interests:

* ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'', which I first encountered when I was three. The “FuzzTherapy” trope page is my creation.
* ''Literature/HarryPotter'', which I first encountered when I was five. I was twelve when the last book came out, got a ticket for its midnight release at the local [=McNally=] Robinson and stayed up until four in the morning to read it. The movies, while by no means bad, really fell in quality beginning with the fourth.
* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''. Pretty much all I remember from my Grade 7 year, to be honest.
* ''Literature/InheritanceCycle''. Starting to become a pretty GuiltyPleasure for me as I’ve gotten older. The ''Eragon'' movie, however, I took no time and needed no prompting to consider DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible, for which reason I will not dignify it with a link.

!!Tropes you’ll associate with me:

* CanadaEh: I hail from Winnipeg—it used to be the UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}} of Canada, but now we conform to a more UsefulNotes/{{Cleveland}} / UsefulNotes/{{Detroit}}-like stereotype. Given that Sam Katz is our very own MayorPain (of, seemingly, both the malevolent ''and'' inept varieties!), that distinction looks secure for approximately the next quarter-century.[[note]]In 2014, I’m going to run for mayor. Given that I’ll be celebrating my nineteenth birthday just before I do so, that might make me YoungAndInCharge.[[/note]]

* DeadpanSnarker: Have become more of one since my eighteenth birthday.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: I’m melancholic, my mother is phlegmatic, my father is choleric[[note]]He runs from this characterization, though. But compared to me, he is extremely extroverted.[[/note]] and my brother is sanguine.

* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: A moderately unfortunate activity which I infrequently suffer from a propensity to engage in.

* SecularHero: Been agnostic my entire life.

* ''Series/{{Firefly}}''[[note]][[SugarWiki/TVTropesWillEnhanceYourLife I would never have heard of this show if not for TV Tropes!]] :D[[/note]]

* ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' (one I should really watch more of, I usually only watch it if my brother and father are watching it but I think it’s a lot better than I’m willing to admit in front of them).
