DJ doesn't understand European geography either. He buys map after map and studies them under a magnifying glass, trying in vain to find Ruritania.

Nymtoc won't open a dictionary because he's afraid it will be full of phalluses.

DJ bought a barn, but he got furious when somebody told him he needed a weather cock.

Nymtoc is working hard on his manuscript so he can get an agent, but he's finding it hard to contact the right one. It turns out James Bond is not listed on Querytracker.

DJ got an agent directory and sent queries to the 538 agents listed in it. They were all real-estate agents.

Nymtoc is trying to get the IOC to ban skeet shooting form the Olympics because he thinks it's cruel to shoot poor defenceless skeet for sport.

DJ went to Mexico once, and he was continually frustrated because the Mexicans didn't understand his French.

Nymtoc believes Fox News really is fair and balanced.

When DJ took out a girl years ago, she asked him if he had protection, and he assured her that he did. It turned out he was talking about breath mints.

Nymtoc truly has a rapier-like wit, if the rapier in question is several hundred years old and rusted into it's scabbard.

DJ calls present-day Russia "The Soviet Union," just like his idol, Michele Bachmann.

When Nymtoc's on a date he always shows her he brought protection. Usually they run away at the sight of his Colt .45.

DJ always drives on the wrong side of the road. He says it's because he visited the UK once, and he liked it.

Nymtoc thinks showering and bathing are for other people.

DJ hasn't learned that showering and bathing really are for other people.

iLion uses 2.5 tons of anti-dandruff shampoo a year to keep his mane clean and free of flakes.

Whether Drachen Jager has a white coat or whether he's simply naked is a subject of feverish debate among AW members.

Nymtoc is the only one actually involved in the debate, but his multiple personalities more than make up for his lack of numbers.

DJ is upset that the weather is getting cooler. He thought his device would prevent that.

Beckahrah has my avatar above the motto "Drachen 4 Evr" tattooed on her butt.

Beckahrah thinks lemonade is a concert given by a bunch of rock stars to support lemons.

DJ lost the thing he prized most and doesn't know where to find it.

Nymtoc's attempts at humour have been declared 'weapons of mass destruction' by the U.N. Security Council.

Drachen Jager is envious, because his wit does not sparkle like Nymtoc's.
