Let’s meet some more IMAO readers. Today, it’s kingaljr.
What’s the story behind your name? No real story to tell,when I first set up an ISP account the username I wanted was already taken so I threw together a mess of family names I could remember easily and just kept on using it.
Where do you live? Coon Rapids Minnesota,stop laughing it’s a real town.
How old are you? Just a hair over 50.
Tell us briefly about yourself. Not much to tell. I am an Army brat born in Germany who moved to Chicago when I was 7 and lived there for 5 years before moving to Minnesota. I dropped out of high school in 71 and joined the Army, not the brightest thing to do at the time. After doing my 3 years I started driving a truck all over the lower 48 until settling down and getting a local job about 15 years ago.
How long have you been reading IMAO? Just about 3 years, I originally came here following a link the late great Allan at Barking Moonbat had posted and have been stopping by daily ever since. I think it was something to do with Frank being the Devil or something.
What’s your favorite IMAO post? Frank the Artist, the Donald Duck hat = Navy line still kills me.
If you were to describe IMAO in three words, what would those be? “our little homosexual”
[You’re little! -Ed.]
What’s your favorite political issue? How big a twat governor Pawlenty is, sorry fellow Minnesotans but he lost me with the smoking ban, the sniveling to the casino’s for more money to spend etc. He’s turning out to be another Arne Carlson.
Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. Nope.
Does fire have mass? Only if FRED says it does. Yeah I know that’s a copout but I haven’t a clue, remember I dropped out.
If you commented in the last post asking for entrants, 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.
that fire one got me thinking, and my answer was correct, though I arrived at it erroneously
via USA Today:
Fire is a series of actions and changes that produces a result — a process. In fact, it is an oxidation process (called combustion or burning) that gives out heat and light energy as well as glowing gas and a small amount of plasma.
So, talking about fire’s mass is like talking about the mass of digestion, or boiling, or getting a driver’s license — although it certainly makes us think about what fire is. But a process doesn’t have mass.
Flames are another matter. They are burning gases and gasses certainly do have mass.
Someday people will appreciate the shear genius of Frank’s artwork.
I was an assistant art teacher during high school and I volunteered as an art teacher at my stepsons school. Thank God my art teacher talked me out of going for a lame degree in the arts, and I went for computer science instead (more money in that).
Frank’s work is amazing. You should do more of it, Frank!
You’re right about the “Donald Duck Hat”, but The “old and mean means Harry Reid (or my Dad)”, and the skull with the bow being Nancy Pelosi, is hilarious!!!!
I miss HFL and all of the inventions.
