Veeshir

* * * *

What's the story behind your name?

My last name is "Fisher", when I was in grammar school a friend used to call me "Meeester Feeeesher" and he kept lengthening it until it was "Meeeeeeeeeester Veeeeeeshir" (His spelling, I used to spell it "Veesher"). Since both my first and last names are very common while there is only one Veeshir, I went with that so as not to be confused with anyone else.

Where do you live?

Historic Alexandria, Va.

How old are you?

44, I'm all excited. I'm only about 10 years or so from being a dirty, old man. That's been my goal since I was 16.

Tell us briefly about yourself.

I retired for my 20s and saw the world (through rose-colored eyes). When I was 30, I realized it was time to start pretending to be an adult so I went back to school and got a BS in Mechanical Engineering. Now? I never do engineering work. Funny how that works out. Little known Veeshir Vact, I'm blind in one eye.

Ever spend time wondering what a nuclear blast on the moon would really look like?

Actually no, I have a shirt with a picture and everything. Considering you sold me the shirt, I would think you would know that.

How long have you been reading IMAO?

Nearly 5 years, I'm not sure when I started, it was probably after the first time the Emperor linked to you but before you were first called FrnakJ. The first comment by me I can find is from October, 2002, back when your comment button said, 'IYAO'. [That would be back when IMAO was on Blogspot. -Ed]

What's your favorite IMAO post?

I don't think I have just one. I have favorite lines, with my personal favorite probably being when Kim Jong Il said he needed nukes to be able to reduce the size of his army. Rumsfeld responded with something like, "Tell him I too have a plan for reducing the size of his army that involves nukes." I do miss your "Links of the Day", those were usually pretty fun.

What's your favorite political issue?

Don't have one anymore, I'm totally sick of politics. That's why I mostly just attempt humor in my comments. The W2 shirt you sold me does encapsulate the two issues most dear to my heart, "4 more years of low taxes and dead terrorists".

If you could magically turn any one person into a three-legged goat, who would it be and why?

Hassan Nasrallah, so I could watch his followers turn him into a gyro. That would be funny.
