An engineering student who is
in no way addicted to the Internet, much less
TV Tropes, and certainly not
above using the "spoiler" tag for a obvious gag inspired by the joke about the girls and nudist camp in the John Cleese sketch linked in the link above. (That
he should be an
xkcd fan goes without saying.) As far as
TVTropes goes, in between occasional spells of
Blue Fever, he mainly adds examples and illustrations from various of the many webcomics he reads or used to read.
You may know him as "packbat" on one or more
Friending Networks.

- Not Low Level Advantage
- This is a funny story: I started by adding a pic to Empty Levels, which was removed by an editor; I posted a note on the discussion page requesting other opinions before deciding to restore it. Then it was removed again. Then I added it again. And then someone else copied it over to Low Level Advantage, and yet another person noticed this and suggested pulling it from Empty Levels again. And then did. And then it was pulled from Low Level Advantage in a discussion
which resulted in a different picture from the same video taking its place. But my caption survived, so I count it as a win.
