Let’s meet some more IMAO readers. Today, it’s Fuloydo.
What’s the story behind your name? My actual name is Floyd. I spent several years back in the 80’s working for a Japanese company and all of the upper management and most of the engineers were Japanese who spoke English as very much a second language, if at all. Fu-loy-do was how they pronounced my name. (They pronounced my last name Ku-raa-ku. You have roll the “r” and give it a teensy bit of “l” for the proper effect.)
Where do you live? A (very) small town by the name of Adrian located about 50 miles south of Kansas City, MO
How old are you? I’m not 45 yet. 🙂
Tell us briefly about yourself. Disabled, spend all my time either reading or surfing the intertubes, and am a collector. (note: collector=geek….Science Fiction books, DVD’s, Movie posters, Fantasy swords, etc.) I also collect guns, as I can afford them, and I studied martial arts off and on for several years prior to my accident, including kendo, and still have all the stuff associated with those. Basically, I’m a geeky packrat. I speak a very limited amount of Japanese, just about sufficient to ask where the bathroom is and please can I have another beer, and I can fluently say “I don’t understand, do you speak English?”
How long have you been reading IMAO? Not sure….I first discovered blogs shortly after 9-11 and didn’t really get heavily into them until the memogate incident prior to the 2004 elections. I came across IMAO as a link from one of those, probably Ace of Spades though it could have been the puppy blender. Say three-four years.
What’s your favorite IMAO post? Split between the Know Thy Enemy posts and the cartoons. You are an incredible artist.
If you were to describe IMAO in three words, what would those be? Irreverent, with guns.
What’s your favorite political issue? The 2nd Amendment. “From my cold dead hands” is not a bumper sticker, it’s a promise. I have a Missouri CCW permit and I never leave my home without my Sig.
Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. I used to host http://www.excelsiornews.com on a server in my basement but got tired of the headaches. The site still exists but I’m no longer an admin and it’s no longer on my server. It’s an entertainment news discussion forum inhabited by the standard range of internet fanboys.
If Rose O’Donnell get her own show, what channel do you think it should be on? I’d say the Cartoon Network but that would expose our children to her……Bravo is the obvious choice……How about Animal Planet?
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.
