Current Name:       Douglas Q.
Alter Egos:         None, although some goofy poet
                    types insist on calling me Captain
                    Douglas O'Toole.
Birth Date:         July   18, 1960
Birthplace:         You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
Residence:          Fort Collins Colorado (hub of the known universe)
Gender:             Male
Sexual Orientation: North, North West.
Marital Status:     Never.
Offspring:          Never.
Siblings:           Two.  Generally pathetic. 
Blood type:         What possible relevance is this?
Phobia:             Nothing that could be called a phobia, since
                    phobias are generally a psychological sickness.
                    I have my fears, but I see no real need to parade 
                    them.
Hair:               Various places.
Eyes:               Two, mostly blue.         
Height:             6' 1".  
Dominant Brain Hemisphere:  My hemispheres have equal sway over me.
Physical Deformities:  None visible.                
Music Preferences:  Pretty much anything but Jazz.  Not all that fond
                    of country, but can listen to lots of things.
                    Lately have been listening to Consolidated, Sisters
                    of Mercy,  Ministry, (waiting for new Roger Waters),
                    Cracker, much other fringe pop stuff.
Favourite Books:    _Nausea_ Jean Paul Sartre.   This is meant to
                    be expemplary, since I love so many books I
                    cannot list them.  My reading used to be dominated
                    by trash fiction (mostly science fiction) and horror,  
                    but I finally kicked that pernicious habit, and now
                    it is dominated by history, philosophy, political
                    analysis and classical literature and poetry.
Pet Peeves:         Pretty much everything. 
Favourite Movies:   Brazil.  Barton Fink.  Alien (the first).
                    The Wall.  Holy Grail.  Francis.  various others.
Least Favourite Activities:  Why dwell on them?  I can actually
                    get some existential pleasure from almost anything,
                    but I guess jaw surgery would have to rank right up
                    there.
Most Favourite Activities:  Drawing.  Writing poetry.  Reading.  
                    Sex.  Eating.  Sining.  Listening to music.
                    You know, standard hedonistic fare.
Quotes that can be attributed to me:
                    I doubt that anyone here in callahans has any
                    generally used quotes that can be attributed to
                    them.  I had a fellow put something I said in
                    his .sig once.  Forget exactly what I said, but
                    it had something to do with the fact that I
                    have no empirical evidence that any of the rest
                    of you computer people even exist as anything
                    other than ascii files in my unix system.

Political affiliation:  I am the world's one and only socialist libertarian.
Allergies:   Hay fever.                   
Occupation:  Electrical Engineer.

What I regret most: That I was not born absolute dictator of the world.

                    Mclaughlin Group.
Parting words:  I only leave when I have already said what I have to
                say, so I usually just leave without saying anything.
