pvtnum11:
PVT #11 was the rank and serial number to a bipedal combat robot I cartooned way back in 1990 when I was in Middle School. It stuck, 'nuff said. Since the '#' symbol is frequently not allowed in a username, it morphed into pvtnum11.
Recently, I managed to smash some words together into something approximating a sentence, and thus was born this phrase; "People don't go crazy in a rational fashion." Well, duh, of course they don't, I thought this was blatantly obvious and I said it more or less tongue-in-cheek. They're crazy. Rational thought has left their brain and took the first bus out of town, and now they're operating off of mere random synapse firings or whatever. Oddly enough, this phrase was viewed as incredibly insightful or some such nonsense, and has been sigged. Cool, I guess. A google search revealed that it's actually original. Well, I'm sure I heard some variant of it elsewhere. All great quotes - and even So Okay It's Average quotes like mine - are built upon the shoulders of other quotes.
Some quick factoids for those who may be interested (all three of you):
...is a Christian - but has some funny stories of life before that.
...enjoys playing Minecraft with his five-year-old daughter.
...blanked his keyboard out with a Sharpie pen, just to improve his typing skills. It actually works.
...will usually play some minor varient of himself in a forum RP game, given the option - easier to keep it consistent.
...has never engaged in any formal education after High School. The bad spelling I inflict upon the forum might be a tell-tale.
...has interests in most things Military, some physics, Astronomy, and the interesting military sci-fi mix that occurs when you mix those all together. Loved Firefly/Serenity. Will chat militaria stuff just for fun.
...wants to tour Chernobyl before he dies. Failing that, Pripyat will do nicely.
...wants to tour some of the great Cathedrals, also.
...finally scored a London Fog trenchcoat for only five bucks! No liner, but that's overkill here in Hawaii anyway. Now I can scrape together a suitable Firefly-themed costume.
...is an Oregonian living in Exile, and misses the evergreen trees.
...is a child of the eighties; I am still of the mindset that anything made after 1990 is 'modern' and 'new'.
...did some time in the Army, and promptly forgot where I put my DD 214. Fixed radios; but lots of that old skillset has been forgotten in the intervening decade since I got out.
...liked firing the M249 SAW - scored Expert with it; wasn't terribly fond about lugging it around. Was not a very good shot with an M16, though.
...thinks that perhaps being a Submariner might have been a more fun waste of four years. Has been called a Nuke before, and thinks it's a compliment.
...is a fan of Buick V6 engines, especially ones under boost, and especially the older turbocharged ones.
...as evidenced by my avatar gallery, is a fan of the third-gen (1982-1992) Pontiac Trans Am. Used to own a 1988 Trans Am GTA, now owns a 1989 Turbo Trans Am, powered by the above-mentioned Buick turbo V6. Only V6 Trans Ams ever made, only 1,550 made and sold to the public. (five more were prototypes and test mules) I've also previously owned two plebian Firebirds, both had the anemic 2.8-liter Chevy motors. A good rule of thumb for those who might get confused about what car is what, is if it's white, it's usually a Turbo Trans Am.
...would love to drive a two-stroke three-cylinder Saab Model 92 in historic rally liverly. Or maybe a Model 95 with the Tannus V4 in it. Station wagons are cool. Or even a Sonett III...
...used to play Star Wars Galaxies from time to time. Loathes the fact that Sony Online Entertainment is making it more and more generic and less Star Wars-y every passing week. Plays a Smuggler, one of the weakest combat classes around - Glass Cannon. Also has a dark-sider Jedi, two Traders (Shipwright and Weapon/Armor-smith) and a low-level Commando. Wife has a Medic, Officer, Spy, Entertainer and a Trader (Domestics). My wife took over my accounts, for a terminal case of alt-itis.
...is saddened by Sony's recent decision to kill above-mentioned SWG. Oh well, there's always the SWGEmu project.
...likes Wide Open Sandbox games, so gets a kick out of Sims, Fallout, Minecraft, EVE Online, and stuff like that.
...is writing two books. One Original fiction of his own design, that is secretly a sci-fi mild romance novel to his wife. The other morphed from a Star Wars OC fanfic (about the Smuggler mentioned above) into a Firefly OC fanfic. Fun ride. Many pages. Much editing to do and I'm still not sure when to cap the story off at.
...cannot confirm or deny if he's working on a MLP:FIM fanfic. I'd like to exercise my 5th Amendment right at this time.
...is married, in case you missed it. Has two daughters,; aged 5 and 1 year. The 5-year-old likes to "help", but I can't fault her for trying. Well, maybe I can, when she tries to give her little sister a haircut.
...is fiercely protective and loving with his two children. Also thinks that this is perfectly normal.
...has been called a Fundamentalist before. I guess, if the shoe fits. Also, old-school. I suppose.
...thinks Princess Luna is awesome, but doesn't really consider himself a "Brony". My oldest daughter loves the show, though - oh wait. 5th Ammendment.
...is over thirty - to be more specific, is just a few months older than the Voyager probes (if you go by their launch dates). Has given up trying to pluck out the gray hairs.
You can add comments and scribble down here. Or not, your call.—HI! Hehe I just noticed that you were married. It's not often I find another married folk on here. —[1] Yiee! — [2] Hello extremely! I hope you don't mind a slight format adjustment. And "Nuke" is always a compliment. - Noaqiyeum -scribbles the Anti-Death Equation- Yarrunmace - Hey another married father troper! It's an awfully narrow specification, so I guess I feel a certain fraternity there. You're a swell chap. — that makes all of what, two of us? — pvtnum11 -Awww your daughter is adorable!-lolacat -A conservative Christian on TV Tropes? I thought I was the only one! - Turtle — Awesome cars! :D Also, thank you for your service. To combat the awkwardness, try to think of someone who doesn't know cars at all (who isn't me) attempting to guess what each car is every time you change your avatar... and failing, miserably. XD - I vandalize you FTW! - FFShinra - Anyone, who likes Trans Ams can't be an awfully bad person! Jusamies
