Let’s meet some more IMAO readers. Today, it’s Patriot Xeno.
What’s the story behind your name? Nothing exciting. I adopted (stole from Orson Scott Card) Xenocide as my name for Counter Strike, which was shortened to Xeno, and added the Patriot when I started blogging just because it sounded cool. I’m pretty sure Grim suggested it – I probably was thinking something like “Xeno the Impaler” or something.
Where do you live? Just a small town in northern Indiana that nobody’s ever heard of. 2 stoplights – it’s fantastic. If I could live there the rest of my life I would.
How old are you? 26.
Tell us briefly about yourself. Just your typical ultra conservative Christian Marine nerd. I shoot guns, despise hippies and wish Batman was real.
If you saw a monkey faced liberal but had your hands tied behind your back, what would you do? Well not bite him, that’s for sure. There’s no telling where he’s been.
How long have you been reading IMAO? Since late ’04 – Grim emailed me one of your articles saying “dude, this guy is you, only funny”
What’s your favorite IMAO post? Probably this one “https://www.imao.us/index.php/2005/03/in-my-world-the-dark-cloud-of-glorious-reality/ “, but there are some other great In My Worlds, and I’m pretty partial to Know Thy Enemy and the Aquaman bits.
What’s you favorite political issue? Tough call, with all the big ones out there I get fired up about, but I’d have to with either taxation (it’s out of control) or the ridiculous regulations they keep imposing on legitimate businesses ( i.e. no smoking in restaurants, no trans fat, osha, etc)
Are you aware that Batman is by far the greatest superhero? Yes.
Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. Yes, rhog.blogspot.com. It’s pretty awesome – we went to war with China a while back and totally thrashed them because they banned our site (but no more!) My buddy from college (Citizen Grim) started it with me a couple years back, largely influenced by IMAO. We used to post a lot more but we’ve gotten a lot busier. Which is ok, since I will never again write anything as good as my older stuff – especially the eHarmony saga.
You met my brother at Marine OCS; is he as dumb as he looks? He’s good people, I’d have no qualms about him watching my back.
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!
Nice to meet you Patriot Xeno. Whereabouts in northern Indiana are you from? Until last May I spent pretty much my entire life in Fort Wayne.
Oh, and “Remember, the enemy’s gate is down.”
Nice story about your eHarmo experience, Patriot. I see that you connected “at your very deepest levels” with your matches that either $hitcanned you or visa versa!
It’s cool you like your little town so much. I couldn’t wait to leave my hometown 20 years ago and now do nothing but whine about wanting to go back.
Speaking of Batman, have you seen the Joker for The Dark Knight? I’m pretty sure it’s Heath Ledger, but Day-yum! That’s the way a villain should look. I hope the movie lives up to the images I’ve seen so far.
Xeno, I grew up in one of those little northern IN towns as well, your place any where near Granger?
the e-harmony saga is one of the greatest bits ever! i raise a glass to you, patriot xeno.
skol!
You have stop LIGHTS?!?!? All we have here are those red octagon things that say ‘STOP’ We DO have one of those flashy things at the railroad tracks though.
Semper Fi Marine! I also raise a glass to you, patriot xeno.
I bid all here peace, love, and understanding.
cheers
Great answers but I thought Batman was a homosexual?
eHarmony segment was FREAKING awesome. And thank you, Marine, for your service and future leadership of other Marines. Oorah!
The article I sent him in fall 04 was, natch, “Nuke the Moon.”
I would like to be considered for Ronin Profiles, Frank J.
Are you aware that Batman is by far the greatest superhero? Yes.
Ah, Patriot Xeno, I believe you are confusing the man-bat with my Benevolent Overlord Kal El, and yes I AM aware of hollyweird’s insidious attempt to feminize him with that cabana-boy wanna-be brandon routh, but the fact is that my Benevolent Overlord Kal El is the bestest superhero ever and when he finally steps in to rule the land with righteous JUSTICE, you will see all of the evil of the world(ex: liberal media) be smashed into the sewage that it really is, a thing that the man-bat cannot ever hope to accomplish, though it is valiant of him to try.
Anyway, welcome to the Ronin pile!!
