By popular request, it's Meet Your Fellow Red Reporter Time!

Who are you? Name’s Randy. I went to the same high school as JinAZ, apparently.

How old are you? 34

Where are you from? Cincinnati

What’s your favorite dessert? Graeter’s Mint Chocolate Chip

How did you find this little crazy corner of Reds fandom? I forget. Probably Googled “Reds Blog.”

What keeps you coming back? The snark. And maybe someday fitting in with the cool kids. Still don’t know what SIS stands for.

What’s your guilty pleasure movie or song? (mine is Lilo & Stitch and Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, FWIW) “Toxic” by Britney Spears.

When confronted with a yellow light, do you hit the gas pedal or the brake pedal? It’s a complicated balance. Usually coast to a stop, but sometimes just keep going.

Who are you? Andy

How old are you? 33

Where are you from? Grew up in Blue Ash, OH. Learned to be a Reds fan from my father and grandfather, both life-long Cincinnatians and rabid Reds fans. Graduated from Sycamore High School a year ahead of Kevin Youkilis. Went to Ohio University at the same time as Marty Brennaman’s youngest, lesser-known daughter from his second marriage, although I never met her. I currently live in Pittsburgh, PA.

What’s your favorite dessert? Reese’s peanut butter cups

How did you find this little crazy corner of Reds fandom? I used to be a fairly active member of Redleg Nation. I was aware of RR and a bit of a lurker. Eventually I got tired of RLN’s tendency to take itself a bit too seriously, and gravitated over here because I enjoyed the site’s sense of humor.

What keeps you coming back? The aforementioned sense of humor. Also, the non-baseball related digressions. I love the Reds talk, but I also enjoy the political discussions, the popular culture conversations, and the fact that people (for the most part) can disagree without being disagreeable.

What’s your guilty pleasure movie or song? How about guilty pleasure TV? For me, it’s old-school Beverly Hills 90210

When confronted with a yellow light, do you hit the gas pedal or the brake pedal? The gas, unless it’s a school zone. Then I hit the gas with both feet and close my eyes.

Who are you? Matt.

How old are you? 28

Where are you from? Indy

What’s your favorite dessert? Chocolate ice cream / chocolate syrup

How did you find this little crazy corner of Reds fandom? fellow lerker beasleymachine was a long time lerker and found the site and informed me of it’s existence.

What keeps you coming back? Actually feel like this is a smart and fun site with an actual sense of community. I used to comment on another sbnation site, but on that site people would get personal if there was a difference of opinion. It seems like here at Red Reporter difference of opinion is expected, but leads to informative debates in the threads.

What’s your guilty pleasure movie or song? Anything from Kelly Clarkson

When confronted with a yellow light, do you hit the gas pedal or the brake pedal? GAS GAS and more GAS. I have places to go and people to see, no time to sit at a light with a bunch of mouth breathers

Who are you? I’m Ram, which is an awful name for quite a few reasons.
How old are you? 15.5 years
Where are you from? I’ve been living in Avon, Indiana for all of the relevant part of my life.
What’s your favorite dessert? Funnel cake. I’m not sure if it’s really a dessert, but it has sugar and is fucking amazing.
How did you find this little crazy corner of Reds fandom? I found SB nation in December 2009 when vigorously searching for articles about the Colts throwing a perfect season. I made an account, and joined all the relative blogs for teams I liked. I started reading this wonderful one in May, and slowly got addicted.
What keeps you coming back? I love reading all the snarky comments. Gamethreads are great, as well.
What’s your guilty pleasure movie or song? I sorta like Taylor Swift a bit. I have quite a lot of respect for her, at least, and she can sing.
When confronted with a yellow light, do you hit the gas pedal or the brake pedal? Gas, gas , gas. When you have the choice between sitting at a light for five extra minutes or getting wherever quicker, why would you choose to stop?

Who are you? My name is Brendan. I maintain that being nine years old is the greatest time to be a baseball fan, but maybe that’s just because that’s how old I was when I went to my first game. It was 1990, and that team would go on to win the World Series. “This is great!” I thought, and came back for more the next year. It was… not as great. A similar thing happened with the Bengals.

How old are you? Mathemagicians will deduce from that last answer that I am 30 years old. I can see 31 coming around the corner, and am starting to get irrationally depressed by it. Although my birthday is smack in the middle of their ranges, neither Opening Day nor Easter ever seem to fall on it.

Where are you from? I’m from Dayton, OH, where folks know how to sell out a baseball game. But for the last six and a half years, I’ve lived in the Washington, DC area. Last April, I finally moved into the District proper, and am loving it. Plus I can go to a Nats game and see all my old rooting interests.

What’s your favorite dessert? Chocolate chip cookies, although many’s the time that I don’t eat them strictly as a dessert. Last night I was craving a blondie, and contemplated going to the Old Ebbitt Grill to get one.

How did you find this little crazy corner of Reds fandom? A friend of mine pointed me in this direction back around the time of The Trade (the important-at-the-time swap of Austin Kearns and Felipe Lopez for a flameout of the pennant race). To my knowledge, my friend has never actually posted here, but I got hooked immediately.

What keeps you coming back? “It’s my baby’s kiss that keeps me coming back!” Lot of things. The opportunity to drop song references like that one, that are appreciated by some on the site and make others annoyed with me. As others have said, I like the personalities, the anything goes atmosphere, and the general wit. Being hundreds of miles away, it helps me connect with what’s going on with my favorite team and my favorite state. I hardly ever watch or listen to Reds games (and they let me write the recaps around here!) but I always like the game threads. Plus, a lot of people here really know their stuff when it comes to baseball. Plus, someone’s going to be able to offer a quality opinion on anything else.

Y’know what? The true answer’s inertia.

What’s your guilty pleasure movie or song? I will watch anything with a Kardashian in it.

When confronted with a yellow light, do you hit the gas pedal or the brake pedal? Typically the gas. And while I love my car and will never get rid of it. The ability to live in a city offers quality public transportation (Metro, bus stop right outside my front door), and is incredibly walkable is fantastic. I love all the options, particularly when driving here can be a little nightmarish.

Who are you? TheC – a Reds’ fan since the 70’s when my parents bought me a 1976 World Series pennant.

How old are you? Pretty much at the age where that question starts to bug me.

Where are you from? All over, but most of my life in Cincy. Went to Cincinnati Moeller where my 20 seconds of fame was striking out Ken Griffey junior in a our intra-squad scrimmage. I’d like to say it was nice having him as my CF in real games to haul in all those fly balls, but even the great Griffey Jr. couldn’t catch the ones that were 20 feet over the fence.

What’s your favorite desert? I don’t know…. the Sahara?

How did you find this little crazy corner of Reds fandom? Long time visitor of Daily Kos whose creator also started the SBNation blog network. RR was one of the early blogs when they first started.

What keeps you coming back? It is nice to talk about a team I like with some reasonably intelligent people. Pat yourselves on the back, reasonably intelligent people!

What’s your guilty pleasure movie? Can’t think of a single example, though my wife will make us start some random chick flick and then fall asleep after 30 minutes, while I end up watching the whole thing.

Yellow light? Doesn’t yellow mean Caution – you’re running out of time?

Who are you? Aaron

How old are you? 23… about to turn 24

Where are you from? Rockford, Ohio…. Mercer County!!! The land of nothing to do, but drink and shoot things.

What’s your favorite dessert? Pumpkin Pie Blizzards from Dairy Queen…. the one in Bowling Green, OH makes the best. Other than that, oh and pumpkin rolls, my grandma makes a kickass pineapple coconut pie.

How did you find this little crazy corner of Reds fandom? I started reading this site about three years ago, and joined up December 2010. I’ve pretty much read every site, and this one is the best. Plus, it keeps me laughing

What keeps you coming back? The cheeky shenanigans….. not the evil ones. EVIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLL!!!!!!

What’s your guilty pleasure movie or song? (mine is Lilo & Stitch and Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, FWIW) This one is a toughy. I’d probably have to say V for Vendetta. None of my friends understand why it is one of my favorite movies. Most of them hate it, but they’re just a bunch of dumb idiots! I also have a thing for Taylor Swift. I don’t really like her music, but her songs are catchy. Way too many people have walked in to my house when I’m in the shower, and I’m singing her songs with the radio. I also like CCR way more than the average person should.

Who are you? I’m John. I chose the handle “rjdio” for Ronnie James Dio long before he became “The Late Ronnie James Dio,” and every now and then, someone catches it and makes a “Holy Diver” reference in the comments, usually with a photo of someone throwing the goat. I love metal almost as much as I love Reds baseball.

How old are you? 37 this year. Been a Reds fan all my life. They won it all the year I was born. They also won it all the following year. I don’t remember either, but my dad bought a Reds cap for me when I was little. We imprint early in life. I grew up listening to Marty & Joe in the car, or with a radio under my pillow. I heard Tom Browning’s perfect game that way. I was 13. I was 15 when they won it all in 1990. The years I really came into my own as a Reds fan (1985-1990) were very good years for Reds baseball. I’m hoping that we are seeing a rebirth of that today.

Where are you from? I’m from Muncie, but I live in Indy. I’m an Ohio U. alum, also.

What’s your favorite dessert? Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked. Discard any assumptions — it’s just damned good ice cream.

How did you find this little crazy corner of Reds fandom? I can’t recall, but I must’ve found it around the same time as Redleg Nation, during a dark period for Reds baseball when I had a lot of ranting to do. For the most part, you guys seem to have more fun than RLN, which I’ve come to know as the stiff upper lip of Reds baseball. Lot of starch over there.

What keeps you coming back? In addition to being pretty good analysts and commenters on the game, most of y’all are just funny. We coped with the misery of a decade of losing together, and now we’re in a different decade. It’s still easy to make fun of some nights.

What’s your guilty pleasure movie or song? (mine is Lilo & Stitch and Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, FWIW) Movie? Total Recall. But really, it seems any Philip K. Dick story that gets adapted for screen becomes a guilty pleasure, except for Blade Runner, which is brilliant. Your argument is invalid. Song? Dude, I grew up in the ‘80s. I could list dozens of guilty pleasures because most of the music that came out then has been roundly rejected as awful tripe, yet millions upon millions of youth gone wild listened to it, bought it (before downloads) and blared it in their Trans Ams. I never owned a Trans Am, but I did own Def Leppard’s Hysteria album, and it never got me laid.

When confronted with a yellow light, do you hit the gas pedal or the brake pedal? If I’m by myself, then I gun it. If I’m with the wife or other precious cargo, then I slow down.

Who are you? Howard Carlisle Feltersnatch, Jr., but my friends call me John. So do my brothers. And mother. Ok pretty much everyone calls me John.
How old are you? Old enough to know better, or should anyway (33)
Where are you from? Fucking westside bitches. Migrated further west to Lawrenceburg then said, “To hell with all this snow, you can’t play ball in the winter here.” So I moved south and made it my home. Currently in middle TN.
What’s your favorite dessert? Not really a fan, but I guess cheesecake if I’m in the mood.
How did you find this little crazy corner of Reds fandom? The blog is linked to yahoo sports, and that was where I got all my score updates.
What keeps you coming back? Boredom. I got tired of drinking by myself.
What’s your guilty pleasure movie or song? Most people I know say I listen to elevator music. Most people I know are morans.
When confronted with a yellow light, do you hit the gas pedal or the brake pedal? I mash that shit, get sideways, and barrel roll into the intersection. Those red light camera’s really cut down on accidents.

How old are you? I just turned 28 a few weeks ago.

Where are you from? I grew up in Washington County, Ohio but I’ve lived in Columbus for most of the last nine years or so.

What’s your favorite dessert? I just made no-bake cookies last night, and that’s certainly high up on the list. Ice cream is an obvious pick. Few things can beat a nice, crisp, sweet, juicy apple though.

How did you find this little crazy corner of Reds fandom? I was writing my dissertation back in early 07 and would check SI’s Reds rumors page everyday as a way to procrastinate. They had a few blogs linked on that site, and I checked out all of them. RR had by far the best and most accessible community, so I started hanging around. Lucky for me, I was all but finished with the dissertation by then. If I had found this place while trying to write I would have never finished it.

What keeps you coming back? The friends I’ve made.

What’s your guilty pleasure movie or song? My favorite song is “Fantasy” by Mariah Carey. I submit that this song is the pinnacle of our American civilization. The mid-90s were a truly incredible time to be alive, with the old Soviet bloc converting to friendly democracy and Al-Qaeda just a nascent, provincial gadfly. America was the unquestioned superpower of the the world, and we were putting it on full display with a lavish Olympic Games in our finest of cities. We had nothing to worry about, and Mariah captured the zeitgeist perfectly with her bouncing ode to pubescent infatuation.

Of course, those halcyon days were all just a Fantasy.

When confronted with a yellow light, do you hit the gas pedal or the brake pedal? I slow down. I got nowhere to be in a hurry, so I #beeasy.

Who are you? Derek, suprisingly

How old are you? 20, turn 21 in October, so if(when) the Reds make the playoffs, expect even less comprehensible posts from me

Where are you from? Originally from Mississippi, lived in Columbus for most of my life.

What’s your favorite dessert? Cheesecake. I regret nothing

How did you find this little crazy corner of Reds fandom? I googled “Reds blog” back in 2009, liked this one, then forgot about it. Remembered it after the craziness of next year, and I’ve never been the same since.

What keeps you coming back? You guys are smart, really, really funny, more knowledgeable about the Reds then anybody, and most of all, you seem to tolerate me. What more can I ask for?

What’s your guilty pleasure movie or song? (mine is Lilo & Stitch and Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, FWIW) “Sussudio” by Phil Collins, or any Kelly Clarkson song.

When confronted with a yellow light, do you hit the gas pedal or the brake pedal? Depends on the distance, but usually I try to make it. Really, this is only because I got seriously yelled at by my driver’s ed teacher when I slammed on the brakes 50 feet away from the light, and almost got us in a wreck

Who are you? The name’s Andrew. I’m a Plant Sciences major at the University of Missouri and planning on attending graduate school in entomology. I’m a bug geek. And I’m pretty damn good at what I do. I’ve been a Reds fan all my life. My parents are both from Ohio, so I was raised as a Reds fan. I grew up idolizing Barry Larkin and always tried to get number 11 in whatever sport I played. I played baseball into high school and wasn’t bad- I played some slick defense and could switch hit pretty well, but my small stature stopped me from getting anywhere.

How old are you? I’m 20. Turn 21 in May, so… yeah.

Where are you from? I was born in Muncie, IN and moved to Columbia, MO where I’ve lived since I was 2. I just moved into my first apartment!

What’s your favorite dessert? Ice cream. Any kind of ice cream. Ice cream is amazing.

How did you find this little crazy corner of Reds fandom? Being in the middle of Missouri, I didn’t really have anyone to share my Reds fandom with. Dad worked at Kansas State, although he’s since moved on to Qatar and Mom meant well, but she didn’t really get it. And then my good friend that was also a Reds fan moved away to Arizona. Then I started hearing about these things called ‘blogs’, so I did some googling and arrived here. I posted a really stupid fanpost and got ripped apart by Geki, but everyone else was super nice because they were dealing with a 15 year old kid. Love you, Geki, haha.

What keeps you coming back? The people. A lot of folks here have done quite a bit for me and when it all comes down to it, we all love the Reds.

What’s your guilty pleasure movie or song? I have a lot… Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift… like, I won’t actively seek out their music… sober… but if it comes on, I won’t turn it off either. Three Days Grace is also a guilty pleasure for me. I have a lot of musical guilty pleasures when it comes down to it.

When confronted with a yellow light, do you hit the gas pedal or the brake pedal? Well, I know all of the lights that have cameras, so I slow down at those and speed up at the ones that do not have cameras. I’m a thinker.

Who are you? Nathan. It’s a popular redreporter name.

How old are you? 29. “Oh you’re almost 3 decades old” – every person ever that I tell my age to that happens to be only slightly younger than me

Where are you from? Rockford, Ohio. Same shitty hometown as BigBabyBruceBadBabyBig. I’ve been in Columbus for the last 5 years, though, after a stint in Wrigleyville aka “the place where bums burn junk mail in your building’s foyer for heat”

What’s your favorite dessert? These things my wife makes called “apple bundles”. They involve tons of cinnamon, tons of sugar, crescent rolls, green apples, and then you bake them with the pan halfway filled with Mountain Dew. Then you eat them with vanilla bean ice cream. Sounds weird, but the only food I’ll fucking curse over. Fuckers.

How did you find this little crazy corner of Reds fandom? Procrastinating from work and looking for a place to make fun of the Cubs without my front windows being broken in. Jesus, Cub fans, it’s just a Reds flag in Wrigleyville.

What keeps you coming back? I like most of you people. Also, I feel like I’ve become a smarter and more passionate Reds fan now that I have a greater knowledge of the intracacies of player evaluation.

What’s your guilty pleasure movie or song? Private Eyes – Hall and Oates, Disturbia – Rihanna. I’ll not say a guilty pleasure of movies, but i’ll substitute TV shows – Anything that involves hunting ghosts or paranormal activity. I’ll sit and watch those knowing full well these clowns won’t find anything and when they do it’s probably just the wind or an old floorboard creaking. I know this going in and I still watch them. Except Ghost Adventures because that Zak Bagans guy is a douche. Seriously, look him up.

When confronted with a yellow light, do you hit the gas pedal or the brake pedal? Speed the hell up all the while ignoring the disapproving sighs my wife is giving me from the passenger’s seat.

So dear intrepid lurker/newbie, I ask you:

Who are you?
My name’s Jake. I’m attending Miami University. I’m currently majoring in Mass Communication, but I have no idea what in the hell I want to do when I graduate. Someone give me some ideas!

How old are you?
I’m 19, will be 20 on April 10th (Reds always lose on my bday, btw)

I’m from Carlisle, Ohio. It’s close to Springboro, if that helps. I serve on Carlisle’s City Planning Commission, no big deal…

What’s your favorite dessert?
Ice Cream, any kind

How did you find this little crazy corner of Reds fandom?
Teh Fay posted the link on his blog. Ironically I come here now to make fun of him!

What keeps you coming back?
The strong baseball analysis mixed with the always-outstanding humor.

What’s your guilty pleasure movie or song?
Movie: Eh, don’t really have one. Song: I usually pick something off the top 40 station. Right now I’d say Love Song by Selena Gomez. Don’t judge.

Gas pedal ftw. It usually works out :)

Who are you? Well like almost everyone here my name is Andrew. Im also attending Miami U. and am studying chemistry.

Who are you? My name’s Brooke, and I’m a big fan of the Chicago Bears, Iowa Hawkeye football (do we even have a basketball team anymore?) and of course, the Reds.

How old are you? I’m 33 and will be 34 in April, which makes me old enough to be the mother of most of the other Red Reporters.

Where are you from? I was born in Freeport, IL but grew up in Iowa City, IA and went to college there. I spent 5 years as an insurance adjuster in Madison, WI and moved to Cincinnati in 2005 when I was promoted to Environmental Insurance Litigation superintendent. This is not nearly as interesting as it sounds, I mostly research pollution insurance laws and pay obscene amounts of money in cleanup costs.

What’s your favorite dessert? My grandma’s white cake with white frosting. She’s a professional baker and she knows how to do that shit the right way.

How did you find this little crazy corner of Reds fandom? My sister came to visit me and I took her to her first Opening Day in 2009, and I was cruising the internet for something for her to read about Cincinnati (she’d never been) and I found a series of posts written by jch24 with suggestions on gameday stuff. Clicking through the site, I found a spate of smartasses just as vulgar as me and knew I was home.

What keeps you coming back? Off-color humor and the stats geeks who know the kind of math stuff about baseball that I’ve been trying to learn.

What’s your guilty pleasure movie or song? Movie: The Cutting Edge (toe pick!) Song: I’ve been known to dance around the house to ’Nsync’s No Strings Attached album after I’ve had a few. It’s not pretty.

When confronted with a yellow light, do you hit the gas pedal or the brake pedal? Gas, baby. Life’s short, drive fast.

My name is Drew.

I’m 27 and engaged with a 17 month old son,

I’m from New Lexington, OH

I played college baseball with 2 MLBers and have a friend who will umpire between 20-40 MLB games this year. This is my claim to fame.

My favorite dessert is a medium chocolate ice cream cone with rainbow sprinkles from DQ.

My guilty pleasure is the john morrell commercials that air on FSN and Miranda Lambert.

Not sure how I found this spot but somehow it ended up on my twitter account as my homepage. More of a reader than a poster.

I come back because I don’t know how many boring ass law school classes this website got me through. On a side note was in a class when a guest speaker was a Pirates VP and he uttered the phrase “Hunter Pence is overrated.” This is when I knew the Pirates would be bad for a long time.

Yellow Light: Gas if 2 or less, brake if 3 or more.

I have no emotional ties to any other professional team other than the Reds. Buckeye by birth but was adopted into Mountaineer Nation.

Who are you? supergrover. That’s where it will stand.

How old are you? 46 as of Jan 6

Where are you from? Born in Coventry, England. Son of US Airman. Reside in Dayton, Ohio area.

What’s your favorite dessert?

How did you find this little crazy corner of Reds fandom? I don’t really remember. I was probably wanking to something and misclicked.

What keeps you coming back? getting recs.

What’s your guilty pleasure movie or song? (mine is Lilo & Stitch and Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, FWIW) ABBA. Shouldn’t like them, but I do. (I do I do I do aaaahhh dooo)

When confronted with a yellow light, do you hit the gas pedal or the brake pedal? Depends. Some have the cameras. If I know it has a camera, brake.

I have it on good authority that the stop light camera in Mason are non-functional.

Who are you? Here, I am Roast Beef or RBK or just Beef. In the real world (which I try to keep a bit separate from my asshole persona here) I am Patrick. I have to kids, and they are both far bigger smartasses than I am (which delights my parents to no end).

How old are you? I hit the big 4 zero in 2011.

Where are you from? Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan and lived in Detroit, until my neighborhood exceed my father’s “rusted out cars on blocks in the lawn” limit and we moved down to Cincinnati.

What’s your favorite dessert? Bread pudding from Bella Luna, an Italian restaurant on Eastern Avenue (next to Terry’s Turf Club). Normally, I despise bread pudding, but I make an exception for that one.

How did you find this little crazy corner of Reds fandom? I do not actually recall. I was probably trying to find out something about a roster move and found a story here.

What keeps you coming back? Disgusting pictures of bugs being pulled out of ears. Jesus Christ, what the FUCK is that? Also, I have managed to meet a few of you in person, and it turns out you aren’t quite the assholes you appear to be here. You are much bigger assholes, and that suits me.

What’s your guilty pleasure movie or song?Movie: I watch Road House whenever it is on, but I’m not sure that qualifies. I love idiotically bad movies, like Zardoz, or Undefeatable, which contains the greatest, stupidest fight scene of all time.

When confronted with a yellow light, do you hit the gas pedal or the brake pedal? I learned to drive from Jeff Bridges in Starman – “Red light – Stop. Green light – go. Yellow light – go…….very fast.”

Who are you? My name’s Kenny. I lurk mostly, but I want to post more in the future.
I am a die-hard Reds fan and hope that I have something interesting to say every once in a while.

How old are you? 39

Where are you from? Marysville. We have Scott’s, Honda, and the Ohio Reformatory for Women (where my dad would always joke that he met my mom). They are both actually from Cincinnati, so that is my link.
Most of my life has been in central Ohio, but we moved down south to SC so I don’t have to shovel snow anymore.

What’s your favorite dessert? Chocolate Mouse. The dessert, not the character from Top Secret, although I will miss him most of all.

How did you find this little crazy corner of Reds fandom? I, too, forget, but I think I was trying to find Teh Fay’s blog and did an internet search. I was looking for some “inside” information. I wish that I could say it was because I was searching “cuntfag” and it led me here, but I was here before then.

What keeps you coming back? I like it all really. RR is one of the few things that I can read that actually makes me laugh out loud. I like commiserating with other Reds fan that have some of the same experiences, like a decade of futility, but more so the great things like 2010. After Jay Bruce hit that homerun, I was giddy like a schoolgirl for three straight days.
I haven’t been other places on the internet where I ever thought, I’d really like to meet these guys in person.

What’s your guilty pleasure movie or song? (mine is Lilo & Stitch and Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, FWIW) It was mentioned earlier, but I do will do some in-car dancing to Ke$ha and Lady Gaga. The ultimate one, though, is Dance Moms. That is a hot mess of I-can’t-turn-this-crazy-thing-off.

When confronted with a yellow light, do you hit the gas pedal or the brake pedal? It’s a judgment call. Close enough, gas, baby; but normally I will err on the side of caution. It’s not me I worry about, it’s the rest of the crazies.

Name I am also a John.

How Old Are You? I am exactly one quarter-century old. I can rent a car!

Where are you from? Born in London, grew up in Cincinnati (Columbia Tusculum whatwhatttt), college in Boston, lived in NYC for three years, and now reside in beautiful San Diego.

What’s your favorite dessert? Scotch

How did you find this little crazy corner of Reds fandom? I do not remember. I did, however, go to high school with RijoSabes

What keeps you coming back? I fucking hate myself, and this is my penance. Nahhhh, just kidding. You people are funny and often, but not always, quite intelligent.

What’s your guilty pleasure movie or song? Crazy Horses by The Osmonds. Seriously. The song is insanely good.

When confronted with a yellow light, do you hit the gas pedal or the brake pedal? Gas baby, gas.
