1* ''ActuallyPrettyFunny'': Huge NFL fan, but will occasionally call the American football "Handegg" around British people because he finds it humorous.
2* ''AwesomeDearBoy'': Played a Zombie in Film/ProWrestlersVsZombies. Up all night, freezing cold, no pay, hours of boredom, being away from his kids, and he doesn't even like Zombie movies. Why do it? Besides being in a movie at all, he got to meet and work with Roddy Piper, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Matt Hardy, and took a punch from Shane Douglas in the movie. He'd do it again in a heartbeat.
3* ''BadassLonghair'': Subverted. Has long hair, but is hardly a badass.
4* ''BerserkButton'': One of the relatively few cis males who can be deadnamed. Doing so, however, is very much not advised.
5* ''BiTheWay'': Publicly came out as bisexual in October 2020.
6* ''CantHoldHisLiquor'': One side-effect of rarely drinking is that when he does, it doesn't take much to get him drunk, especially considering his size. Oddly enough, he's actually proud of this, as many in his family gained tolerance with the [[TheAlcoholic opposite]] trope.
7* ''CloudCuckooLander'': Dances at random in the middle of Wal-mart. Carries a [[Series/DoctorWho sonic screwdriver]] with him everywhere he goes. Talks about subjects that many consider taboo. Listened to [[JohnWilliams John Williams]] while working at a gas station. Openly admits to being a huge ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' and ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' fan. Worships [[ClassicalMythology Athena]]. Has a [[UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague Pittsburgh Steelers]] facebook cover written with ''GratuitousJapanese''. Yeah... also...
8** ''TheCuckoolanderWasRight'': With a 9th grade education, tested in the top 1% in Social Studies, 2% in Science, and 3% in Reading/Writing Skills compared to high school seniors. Also answers most bible questions correctly despite being a non-Christian.
9* ''CursedWithAwesome'': Doesn't react to poison ivy. Naturally, this means everyone wants him to pull their's.
10* ''DoNotCallMePaul'': Despises his birth name with a passion. See also ''BerserkButton''
11** Not as offensive as his birth name, but in formal contexts, [[InsistentTerminology his title is not "Mister", it's "Reverend"]]
12** ''NomdeMom'': His surname was changed in court to his mother's maiden name.
13** In a more minor example, even after his name change, using his first name may momentarily confuse him. He uses his middle name verbally, though signs his name with his first.
14** Incidentally, it was his brother mentioning the ''DoNotCallMePaul'' trope that brought him to the site.
15* ''ExtremeOmnivore'': Type 1. If it's considered food, he'll try it at least once. Sushi, particularly Nigiri, has become his favorite food. And, of course, he's eaten [[DoctorWho Fish Finger and Custard]]. Hopes to travel to the UK and eat Haggis in Scotland, since it's unavailable in the US due to FDA regulations.
16* ''GameOfNerds'': Pittsburgh Pirates fan, natch. Somewhat subverted in that he also likes Steelers & Midshipmen football, Penguins hockey, and Tottenham Hotspur football (soccer). Taken [[UpToEleven up to]] [[IncrediblyLamePun 88]] with Nascar, as he absolutely loves the science behind race cars in addition to cheering Dale Earnhardt Jr, and Kyle Larson after Dale's retirement.
17* ''GoofyPrintUnderwear'': Often wears Superman briefs when wearing a suit. Also wears Batman underwear during Steelers games.
18* ''GratuitousJapanese'': A fan of ''Franchise/SuperSentai'', so it happens on occasion. Once accidentally said [[Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger Kyoryuger]] rather than ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge'' when asking the price of a balloon at Party City, confusing the employee. Also quite fond of using "Ikuzo", to the point where people around him will use it.
19* ''HatedHometown'': His usual answer to where he's from is "Two hours west of Pittsburgh", often omitting the name of the town and even the State. [[spoiler: Marietta, Ohio]]
20** ''{{Utopia}}'': How he sees the aforementioned UsefulNotes/{{Pittsburgh}}. Being a huge sports fan helps.
21* ''HotBloodedSideburns'': Copied Wolverine's [[HughJackman beard]] style from the [[Film/XMenFilmSeries movies]] in 2017 simply because he got tired of getting a mouthful of facial hair when he ate. Subverted, however, as his temperament is nearly the [[TheSpock opposite]] of Hot Blooded.
22* ''MilitaryAcademy'': Never attended one, but cheers for Navy in College football.
23* ''UsefulNotes/MyersBriggs'': ISTP personality type
24* ''UsefulNotes/NeoPaganism'': A more minor irritant is to mistake him for an atheist when he mentions he's non-Christian.
25* ''NiceShoes'': Usually owns three pairs of shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars when it's warm, Steel-toed boots when it's cold, and dress shoes for formal occasions. Though more often he wears the Chuck Taylors with his suits. And yes, it's done as a [[DoctorWho shout]]-[[DavidTennant out]].
26* ''NotAMorningPerson'': [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_syndrome delayed sleep phase disorder]] hit him hard, to a point where the absolute earliest he can even attempt sleep without medication is 4am. Going to bed between 8 or 9 in the morning isn't unheard of.
27* ''OhMyGods'': As a Pagan, he's been known to say "by the gods" on occasion.
28* ''OOCIsSeriousBusiness'': Averted. Normally calm and collected, if he begins raising his voice, getting angry, and generally going nuts, [[spoiler: it just means his sports team is losing]].
29* ''PekingDuckChristmas'': Growing up, his Pagan family never celebrated Christmas. Averted in the last several years, as his Catholic wife has made him get involved with Christmas, even though he'd rather not.
30* ''PornStash'': Not the least bit embarrassed by it.
31* ''RealSongThemeTune'': Tends to use "[[FinalFantasyX Otherworld]]" by [[NobuoUematsu Nobuo Uematsu]] in WWE games, backyard wrestling, and E-feds.
32* ''SoccerHatingAmericans'': Averted. He's an American who supports [[UsefulNotes/EnglishPremierLeague Tottenham Hotspur FC]].
33** ''NWordPrivileges'': Like most Tottenham Hotspur fans, identifies himself Yid or Yiddo despite being non-Jewish.
34* ''SpeakIllOfTheDead'': Has absolutely no problem doing this. In fact, he believes [[NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead its opposite trope]] to be a complete hypocrisy.
35* ''TheTeetotaler'': Not completely, but drinks so rarely that he may as well be.
36* ''YouGottaHaveBlueHair'': Did this once, and while he liked the look, he reacted badly to the dye.
