Let’s meet some more IMAO readers. Today, it’s Bob in Feenicks.
What’s the story behind your name? My name is Robert but most people call me Bob. The city where I live sounds like “Feenicks”. I spell it phonetically to be different, and to confuse any monkeys who might be out to get me. The monkey threat, which I learned of from IMAO, is the reason I prefer my location to remain undisclosed.
Where do you live? Oshkosh. (weren’t you paying attention to the answer to the previous question?)
How old are you? 39.
Tell us briefly about yourself. I was born in Queens, NY and my family moved to Pho…I mean, Oshkosh when I was 13. I’m a civil engineer and I am still single. I’m also Catholic, and a member of the Knights of
Columbus. If you’re familiar with the KofC, you know about the first four degrees, but I’m also a member of the secret fifth degree, which is the militant wing. It’s our duty to behead all who insult our Religion of Peace, because Jesus, the benevolent, forgiving and merciful wants us to. Jesus Ackbar! (I have a sword too, but it’s really dull, so it hurts more)
If you couldn’t nuke the moon, what other celestial body would you want to nuke? If possible, I’d launch Michael Moore into orbit and nuke him. He’s big enough to be mistaken for a moon.
How long have you been reading IMAO? I’ve been reading IMAO for a long time. I was around for IMAO’s first blogiversary and the Great Blog War. Although, it was a while before I posted my first comment.
What’s your favorite IMAO post? I really enjoy In My Worlds. I’m amazed you were able to get a bug in the Oval Office, and that the Secret Service hasn’t found it yet.
What’s you favorite political issue? Whatever crazy, wacky antics the left is up to in which their actions blatantly contradict their words, such as ‘supporting our troops’ or creating ‘the most ethical congress ever’. It makes it so much easier to mock them. And fun.
Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. No, I refuse to have anything to do with the internet because AlGore invented it.
-Oh wait a minute.
If you could wish one politician away to the cornfield, who would it be? Just about the entire democratic party, but if it’s only one, it would be…John McCain. Mavericks like corn, right?
If you commented that you want to be included before, you’re still in the running. You can also comment in this post; just make sure you fill in your e-mail on the comment form (only I can see it so you don’t have to worry about getting spam). Eventually we’ll get to everyone. Thanks to everyone who has participated so far!
Greetings from Maysah!

Engineers of the world, UNITE! Way to go, Bob of Feeni…Oshkosh. I particularly like your proposal regarding Michael Moore. He has enough mass to first erect a mass-driver on him while in low earth orbit. That way, he could boost himself to a high earth orbit before you nuke him. Nice.
Hey OshKosh Bob! Peace be with you!
Yes! Peace be with you! I would disagree that Michael Moore is a celestial body…………..but I’d be willing to consider classification as a gas giant.
I’m just re-opting in for this particular assignment. Pick me, pick me!
AZ Ronin, UNITE! Email me at haggismachaggis@hotmail.com and we’ll get a pub night arranged.
Whoa…DesertElephant. I read your blog. I think I’ll have to bookmark it and come back regularly. Nice entry for Aug. 6. A pub night would be good. You can even publish from a pub. ~Jim
Man, just how many engineers do we have here? Full disclosure, I’m the guy who wields AutoCAD like a maestro and makes all you engineers look good.
My dad was a Knight of Columbus, and was forbidden to speak of his more covert duties. He was gone a lot.
[He was drinking. -Ed.]
Man, just how many engineers do we have here?
I’m a domestic engineer…does that count??
I wield a swiffer wetjet like a maestro & make all that dwell here look good…. =0)

AWWW! I can’t be there, post pics on your blog, goto Coffee Plantation and scare the college ‘tards! I’ll be with you in spirit.
I’m amazed you were able to get a bug in the Oval Office, and that the Secret Service hasn’t found it yet.
Dude, dincha hear? Frankj’s gots ninja skillz….
I’d like to be on here.
DesertElephant & Shimauma really have a point: We need to get together, all of the Southwestern IMAO crawlers & Neo_con blogheads. AZ seems like the obvious meeting grounds (I’m in NM, but have family in AZ), but when & where? It’s only a few hours by car or $50 bucks by plane for me, so how ’bout the rest of you?
Now you see what you started, Frank? We’re starting to UNIONIZE! WE’LL STRIKE IF YOU DON”T SHOW UP!
Yeah. Right. But should it happen, what’re the chances of you showing up?
Another funny engineer…the foundation of my world is crumbling. I’m beginning to think this site is a front for the Engineer’s Anti-Defamation League…which is basically a front for Satan. And sure, you elite southwesterners, with your official Ronin Profiles, hold your exclusive pub crawl in Pa-ho-nicks…in August. I’ll host the Buckeye round-up, for all of us un-profile-worthy, lame (and proudly so!), non-engineers in the cool and never humid midwest…yes, I’m used to drinking alone.
This was a nice posting. Always good to learn about people.
And now….
I formally request to be included in your list of interview subjects FrankJsama
I cannot get the vision of Michael Moore mooning me out of my head. Thanks BOB! Greeting from yet another engineer.
I can only think of the scene from Star Wars, but instead of the Death Star, it’s Michael Moore.
“That twinkie’s heading for that small moon.”
“That’s no moon… that’s Michael Moore.”
“Don’t be ridiculous.”
“I’ve got a bad feeling about this…”
“Chewie get us out of here!”
//Solo shot first
All apologies to Gunga & anyone else; I suggested it as proximity thing. I’m sure all would be welcome if such an event ever occurred. I don’t think NMUspidey would make it though, as he is probably halfway ’round the world now. Or Francesco Poli… I’m not even sure where he is.
When am I getting interviewed!?! (/bangs sippie cup on high chair)
I’m not quite an engineer, but I do work on the mechanical side of things in the high school robotics competition I’m in. Is that close enough?
Bob from Oshkosh, you are my new favorite.
AlanBBQ – Oh sure…invite me now that Frank J has me scared-to-death of a monkey attack the next time I fly… Anyway, if my extreme corpulence and lack of personal hygiene didn’t put a damper on the event, my extreme flatulence would.
Again, for the AZ and SW Ronin, email me at haggismachaggis@hotmail.com and we can actually coordinate. I swear, wrangling Ronin is like Herding kittens.
Long time lurker, first time poster. Might I suggest one of the following pubs for an AZ Ronin gathering:
Fibber Magee’s (in Tempe)
Skeptical Chymist (Scottsdale)
Rosie McCaffrey’s (Phoenix)
Nothin’ like a few Blacksmiths in hot, humid August.
Hi Bob (waving from Gilbert)!!
I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for a nice Catholic girl for you (I have a friend who works for the Diocese so I’ll see what he can find)! 🙂
CCHeMuse, be warned! There ARE a lot of engineers here. We make the world go, you know, so watch out. You’re “in,” by the way, as a certifiably crazy engineer. But you simply MUST play music, too. And why is Frank J. is so silent about the RONIN REUNION that WILL HAPPEN eventually?
