Ronin Profile: No One of Consequence
* * * * What's the story behind your name? Picture two men, master swordsmen, in a grand duel. In the course of the battle, one man, a dark-haired Spainard by the name of Inigo Montoya, asks of his opponent "Who are you?". The other, the mysterious man in black, replies "No one of consequence". Where do you live? Minneapolis, MN How old are you? Do you want that in binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal, or that weird base 6 crap? [Who ever uses octal, for that matter. -Ed.] Tell us briefly about yourself. Let's see... My wife and I have been married now for 10 years, and have a wonderful little 3-year-old boy. By day, I am a mild-mannered, computery type guy. By night, I battle vampires in a post-apocalyptic war zone. How long have you been reading IMAO? Not entirely sure. Since before the t-shirt babe contest, but it's a little hazy beyond that. What's your favorite IMAO post? I miss The Limey. Are we still supposed to rage against the machine? 'Cause my food processor was getting on my nerves the other day... If you were to describe IMAO in three words, what would those be? Cause For Termination What's your favorite political issue? The issue for me that most angries up the blood is personal responsibility (is that a political issue)? I don't much like being told I'm such an idiot that, not only is someone else responsible for the consequences of the decisions I've made, I shouldn't even be making those decisions (because, of course, my political betters know what is best). Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. I maintain two websites. One has pictures of my son, the other my wife's pottery. Both are woefully out of date, so no links. I tried blogging quite a while back, but that died pretty quick. Since you've had a quote on the sidebar of IMAO for a some time now, doesn't that make you at least somewhat consequential? hmmmm...short answer, yes with an if... long answer, no with a but... * * * * If you commented in the last post asking for participants, you're still in the running. Thanks to everyone who has participated thus far; just because you may not think you're interesting doesn't mean we won't enjoy your story. 14 Responses To "Ronin Profile: No One of Consequence"
"By night, I battle vampires in a post-apocalyptic warzone" is from BUSMAN, a backup to one of the earliest Simpsons comics. And it RAWKED! #1 - Posted by: Steve Johnson on November 6, 2007 07:04 PMA Princess Bride fan and fellow nerd...? I think we might get along. Btw, how do you convert from our counting system to decimal? I have never done that before... #2 - Posted by: Rubeus on November 6, 2007 07:32 PM01110111 01100101 01101100 01100011 01101111 01101101 01100101 00101100 00100000 01101000 01101111 01101110 01101111 01110010 01100001 01100010 01101100 01100101 00100000 01110010 01101111 01101110 01101001 01101110 77656C636F6D652C20686F6E6F7261626C6520726F6E696E00 167145154143157155145054040150157156157162141142154145040162157156151156 Welcome, honorable Ronin (You can find anything, including converters, on the internet. I love it!) #3 - Posted by: on November 6, 2007 08:10 PMI was # 3, but clicked "post" instead of "preview" w/o adding my name. Sry. #4 - Posted by: GrannyBoo on November 6, 2007 08:11 PMOver time, I notice people mentioning about getting "attacked by conservatives." I got attacked tonight on my way home. And we're all saying "Welcome to No One of Consequence" but I fear something is wrong. Are we all of no consequence? #5 - Posted by: Not My Normal Self? on November 6, 2007 10:01 PMI hadn't known there was an actual Busman comic. I only knew of it from a Simpsons episode (that was the name of Otto's comic book idea). My lifelong goal is to carry on an entire conversation speaking only in Simpsons references (Yes, I'm aiming for the stars here). #6 - Posted by: No One of Consequence on November 6, 2007 10:39 PMNOoC, Pre- or Post-Shark-Jumping Simpsons? #7 - Posted by: DesertElephant on November 7, 2007 11:44 AMIn the Japanese classic, "Tales of Genji," the story of the samurai Atsumori is told. He was an artistic soul whose flute playing on the night before the battle of Sekigahara so enchanted both his cohort and the enemy, that both stopped what they were doing to listen until his playing stopped. Anyway, the next day, he was in battle and was faced with an enemy samurai. They introduced each other, and the enemy recognized that this was the flute player from the night before. While he was impressed that the fabulous flautist faced him, he still had to do his duty.... The enemy samurai introduced himself as "A person of no consequence," before slaying Atsumori and taking his head, which was returned with full military honor and the flute to the opposition after the battle. Or so I recall from my reading over 20 years ago. So there may be more than one source for this moniker the ronin uses. #8 - Posted by: Mike on November 7, 2007 11:51 AMCould be Tales of Heikke (Tales of War?) that I'm remembering..... #9 - Posted by: Mike on November 7, 2007 11:53 AMI like No One of Consequence, because I think he voted for me. #10 - Posted by: sarahk on November 7, 2007 02:43 PMOf course we are supposed to still rage against the machine, otherwise they will think we are soft and we can't have that. #11 - Posted by: Lily on November 8, 2007 06:40 PMygcon ouxrjks dimxauphf kvjrbdas ovqxg tsxyraoe fzvh #12 - Posted by: xajhqocl fvnb on November 13, 2007 02:19 PMrgie kwnjtmd sorqu rfkcjt awhv sigwukln vukynoxpb http://www.qsien.wnjh.com #13 - Posted by: yaref jeqitg on November 13, 2007 02:20 PMjfnk fetvk stkrhbnxq kgayepdn rxctgpwa wefh jymhnrkaq ajkzfb gvfl #14 - Posted by: aohbpckvz adfbpzm on November 13, 2007 02:20 PMPost a comment
