A favorite childhood memory...

Not at all as commentary or reflection on my adult understanding of the (first US) Civil War or Confederacy (though it could be)...
I saw this movie as a very young child and the cleverness of the lyrics & punchiness of the show music was embedded in my chip.

Maybe it's the vaccine which activated that chip! :)

Lil Abner - Jubilation T Cornpone

Just for pure fun now, an open tap on my 'puter for many months, maybe hesitant to post given today's climate, but.... hey. It's an old movie now! I love the guy's name as well as the fun staging. Context for non-Americans: it's a spoof about the southern confederate army attempting to defeat the Union (United States). In some ways still feeding feelings & divisions in the once/twice United States.

Empty Chairs at Empty Tables ... to the tune of The Muppet Show theme song. Or vice versa. Wow.

Hey everyone, I’m #newhere. Thanks for the invite, @Gaffer!

Among other things, I’m interested in #activedirectory, #balloonanimals, #bears, #bodybuilding, #broadway, #chocolate, #contradancing, #dhcp, #dns, #editing, #fantasy, #food, #gingers, #leather, #livetheater, #microsoft, #musicals, #oziana, #sciencefiction, #sciencefictionandfantasy, #sex, #squaredance, #technology, #technology-consultant, #tortoises, and #writing.

I'm an openly gay man, married to another man, and living in Sunnyvale, California. I'm both a square dancer and square dance caller, edit a technical journal for square dance callers.

I enjoy reading SF&F, watching and listening to live theater (especially Broadway musicals), and nearly any type of live musical performance.

I'm also active in the SF Bay Area leather/kink community (where I've spent many years fundraising for charity with Alameda County Leather Corps).

While currently I have no pets (husbands don't count), I spent 40 years raising tortoises (desert tortoises, box turtles, and Hermann's/Greek tortoises).

Professionally, I'm a partner in a network technology/support firm, where I'm an IT architect and project manager, specializing in IT migrations and restructuring, Microsoft Active Directory diagnosis and remediation, DNS, and DHCP.
