Formerly known as Beemer69. After 17 years I decided it was finally time for a change. My inspiration was the 1960 cartoon of the same name.

Me.

Damn, I've been here for a long time. In July 2007, my first major Wiki edit (of Ronaldinho) was all reverted only because I was an anonymous IP then, which finally led me to create an account.

Anyway, I'm a middle-aged squirrel who messes mostly with escapist subjects. I guess I could call this a hobby, but heck, so could a good chunk of WP editors. My style is normally saving Big Edits for my weekends and casual editing for all other times. That's why you'll often see me start a project and then not touch it for several days.

I focus particularly on video game characters, and particularly the Mortal Kombat series as it's been a part of my life for three whole decades. (Yes, I'm old.) I've had the pleasure of collaborating with VG editors like GreenishPickle, KungFuMan, Tintor2 and many others over the years on how to properly write these things. Aside from that, I usually end up poking into and tweaking some random article, then end up editing it again later for no particular reason.

Folks, please don't get upset if I wind up changing your past edits. When I perform extensive edits or cleanups, I first and foremost try to maintain the integrity of the article. I myself have had big edits that I worked my butt off on and thought were the cat's pajamas, hacked up by other contributors over time. That's just how Wikipedia rolls, y'all.

I have Meniere's, suffer from anxiety, and am on the spectrum. Fucking hell.

Misplaced hyphens piss me off. You've been warned.

How I devote too much of my time to Wikipedia.

		I just wanted to stop by and say what an amazing job you've done cleaning up the Cristiano Ronaldo article. It was filled with POV, coatracking, and all sorts of nonsense, and you cleaned it up and did a spectacular job of it. Thank you and well done! Vickser (talk) 23:46, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
