Dislikes...
Assholes, especially the kind that drive (including people who feel they must take care of their housekeeping and grooming while their car is moving), a person gets no more stupid in their life than when they come to a four-way stop sign intersection at the exact same time that the three other drivers do.
Conservative/religious fanatics, inconsiderate people, stupid people, the stupid people in the building I live in, people who think only their opinion is right (and chastise others for having their own), people that don't watch TV and also think people that do are somehow inferior to them because of it, people that claim they "don't watch TV" yet they download or watch TV shows on line (it's the SAME FUCKING THING, you jackwagons), people in general, any "reality" TV show, Windows NT / ME / 2000 / Vista, Canadian geese (yes gooses), insects, winter.
A little bit about me...
Born in shanty behind a bestiality club in Tijuana, jefF's life somehow seemed destined for Rocky. Raised by a pack of wild Llamas. Saw Rocky for the first time at the age of 10, and it obviously scarred him for life. He likes hanging out at the beach (Oak Street or North Ave.), walking around naked, and yelling at his computer (preferably all at once). Likes to wear his floorshow outfit in his everyday life (as Oswald says, "I use it at work while I'm lifting packages"). Spends the vast majority of his internet time on boardgamegeek.com
jefF works as an Engineer / Technical Illustrator / Web Developer (wherever they need me this week company bitch) and lives in the 'burbs of Chicago. He dreams of moving somewhere warmer than this place someday, but likely loves Chicago too much to ever do it. Co-M.C. at shows and acts as the Midnight Madness cast President. Mention Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and he'll probably follow you all the way to Green Bay to talk about it.
What is the craziest / stupidest thing you've ever done?
Creating a makeshift hammock when I was five or so, using the TV (on the counter) and a dresser drawer (in the dresser) as the "anchor" points. Needless to say it was my first REAL lesson in Physics. I became an engineer to attempt to prove to myself that, in some other side of the world existence, this actually would have worked.
What is your fondest memory about Rocky?
Pulling off Shock Treatment, and our special "Dual Cast Performance" of Rocky Horror - on the same night in 1997. Selling out the Music Box on Halloween 2002 (and 2003, 2004, and every subsequent year). Our 2006 Convention.
People who knew me in High School thought I was...
The overhead projector.
If they were making a movie about my life I would like to see my part played by...
The Olsen Twins as transvestite jefF and Harrison Ford as "regular" jefF
One thing I think that you should think too.
Our current U.S. government / administration / congress / Wall Street / corporate America has some really fucked up things going on right now that are far bigger than we can stop - be afraid people, be very afraid...
You can quote me.
Nobody ever looks back on their life and says, "I wish I spent more time at the office." |
