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!
