Great post writer! Small world, I thought I was the only one from Pearland.

Great to learn more about ya, Writer. I'm game for this Ronin-majig thingie. Too many comments on the previous post on this. I'd get lost.

Hey my fiance is from Pearland too. There's a lot of us apparently!

How can you choose such a boring name to start with? Heck, mine at least infringes copyright!

It is good to know that the highly educated former military still believe in American values, and haven't lost faith like the Democrats want you to believe.

Count me in on this. I'd love to be involved.

Yay for writer! Nice to learn about you.

You know what? I'm in too. This whole thing has the potential to get pretty interesting...
Watashiwa ronindesu! (It's been a couple years since my last japanese class, so that may not be grammatically perfect).

This is pretty cool getting some info on the people we post with regularly.

Cool! That sounds about right, though I thought the subject of the sentence goes at the end...I could be very very wrong so don't quote me.

Dewa nochi hodo!!!

Hello fellow Texan. :-)

One of my uncles was a geologist at one time; I dunno if that's still his job.

Hooray for Writer! Writers are awesome and technical writers are especially skilled and awesome. Anyone who does not think so can go f*** themselves. These important jobs should not be offshored to people that don't speak English as a first language and the Bush administration never should have given huge tax breaks to companies that offshore jobs.

And Happy Birthday, SarahK!

(might as well try to butter up the real boss....)

I wanna know more about Fart Chasm Man! Like, how long has he been living in that dangerous minority "community" he pretends to love but is really scared to death of? What did it feel like getting punched in the face even though he was wearing an "Obama '08" t-shirt? Does he still consider the money he handed over to be a campaign contribution? What are some of his hobbies (besides biting his fart bubbles in the bathtub)?

AHH!Thus spoke Zarathustra. I mean writer. You are coo. Can I be awesome next?

Good job, Writer you brown noser! You obviously did something to warrant going first like paying off the Big Guy with cash or "services rendered"...

Hi Writer.

GROUP HUG!!

w00t....I'll be waiting for that E-mail!!!!

Wow...that was interesting. Good job writer...leave 'em wanting more. I'm begining to think that an annual BBQ/shootin' match is a good idea...USS Jimmy can host.

Pick a crazy one next Frank J!

I don't think I've ever commented here although I've been what the kids nowadays call a "reader" for several months now.

Anyway, I thought it was my patriotic duty to throw my e-mail address into the ring. Especially when the word "ronin" starts getting tossed about, it's almost as though the dog is right and everyone on the internet really is talking about me.

Ok. It's a deal.

Everyone! Bacon Ninja's dog has been compromised!

Execute the Anti-Freeze Skippy Option.

Just a thought, perhaps while interviewing readers you could also interview/profile the other IMAO bloggers. It was probably done way back when (too lazy to do a search), but your newer readers would benefit from a re-introduction to the regular cast of characters here.

Writer, being from the Land Of Pears, you are nearly my neighbor, me being in Alvin. Your answers to the ridiculously personal, probing questions show you to be a classy, articulate and smart aleck person.

Except for the "classy" part, you fit in well around here.

That was fun. I want to play!

Ooooo, ooooo! Pick me! Pick me! I'll go on the list so I can someday be cool like Writer, too. Who, it's nice to know, is a fellow Texan. And Navy, too. Excellent.
