I was raised on a chinchilla farm way out in the tarsands of Western Nebraska. I built my first crystal radio from wire I made from the foil wrapper from some Beeman's gum, and a cat's whisker made from the filling of pappy's tooth. After graduating cum laude from junior high, I read news and commercials on KNEE, in Abscess, NE, and hosted the Saturday morning kid's show "Tipsy, the Codependent Clown". I won Radio Oblique in a game of Polish Poker from my girlfriend's boss. The rest, as they say, is hitsryo.
