Hi!  I'm Python Trek!  My real name is Tony, and I'm 34 years old.  I'm a stay-at-home daddy of two kids, a 5 year old boy and a 2 year old girl.  My wife likes SF, but is not a geek like me.  

  She's mostly into Stephen King and Agatha Christie.  
I grew up watching syndicated re-runs of TOS on the local CBS affiliate on Sunday afternoons.  I think the local station must have bought the bargain package, because they seemed to play the same 15 episodes over and over.  I think I saw "Catspaw" and "A Piece of the Action" about a dozen times each over the course of 3 or 4 years!  

  As a kid, I was a huge fan of Star Wars and Planet of the Apes, and I somehow missed TMP and TWOK when they hit theatres....a friend of mine took me to see TSFS, and I was hooked.  My mom bought me the first three films on VHS a short time later, and then TNG debuted, and that's it---I was permanently hooked!  I've been an obsessive-compulsive Trek geek ever since.  (And glad for it...)
As for non-Trek fandom interests, I'm heavily into Marvel comics, but only the old school stuff, and I still like Star Wars.  I'm also a big fan of:  Futurama, the Simpsons, Monty Python (hence the handle), Cerebus, Kevin Smith, classic SF novels, LOTR, science, ancient history, current events, and the Beatles.
I live in Wisconsin, but I'm originally from the South.  My political/religious beliefs/philosophy of life is:  skepticism.  That's why I'm a libertarian, an atheist, and an objectivist.  
I'm a vegetarian, but not because I love animals---I just think it's gross to eat a pig's ass.  

  I am shy, reserved, quiet, ususally polite, unassuming, and the person in any crowd who is least likely to speak up on any topic.  
Physical stuff:  Although 34, I look 44  <ugh!>  ...I'm 5'8", around 190, bald, with a reddish goatee, grayish eyes, and little round granny glasses.  I am often mistaken for Brent Spiner and Michael Chiklis' love child.  
This is my third incrantion here at the BBS.  I was originally tonybarc, and later Anne Dorian.  But I'm much more mellow these days, so I never rise to flame-bait anymore.  
 
  
  
Cheerio, everyone!
