1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?

Highschool nickname based on my surname followed by my favorite number. Not that imaginative

2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)

Male.

3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?

I am 29 in Brisbane Australia (glad to see other Aussies roaming the boards )

4) Do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck? (note, this in no way shape or form asks about casting choices you'd like to see. i have a loaded rifle and i'm not afraid to use it.)

NO. If feel there is just too much in the books to enable it to be captured on the screen. Classic example I feel is Harry Potter movies. Every time I think about watching one of the movies again I realise I would much prefer to read the books as they left so much out of the movies. I don't want this to happen to any TP novel. Besides which one would you start with??

5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?

I believe I may have borrowed TLF and CoM from my highschool library and really enjoyed it. I know I owned my first copy a few years later when "Santa Claus" gave me Guards Guards as a christmas present. That santa can sure find some good gifts

6) what's your personal quote of the day?

Don't argue with idiots, they will bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
