    Let's give this a shot

    How did you find CUF?
    I heard about this forum last year on cougarboard, and a couple of former/current CB members recommended it to me. I've grown tired of the petulant CB moderators treating its members poorly, so I'm making the transition. Please bear with me as I work through my pent-up rage.

    What do you like about CUF?
    Opposing fans keeping each other honest and reasonable. Is that unreasonable to expect?

    What don't I like about CUF?
    I'll come up with something.

    How did you choose your moniker?
    I'm a victim of choosing this moniker for a different website about 13 years ago, and, to keep things simple, I have used this moniker/username for just about everything since then. It's still not a good excuse, I know.

    What do you do (other than read CUF)?
    Practice law in Dallas. I enjoy golf, depending on the round. I enjoy yard work, if the weather is between 66 and 71 degrees. And I play with my five-month-old son, until he messes his pants (at which point I hand him off to my wife).

    How many States have you lived in?
    Utah (twice), Nevada, California, Virginia (twice), Texas (twice), and Washington.

    What are your sports loyalties?
    BYU, LA Dodgers, and Denver Broncos. I think the NBA sucks, but if you held a gun to my head, I would have to say that I pull for the Utah Jazz and San Antonio Spurs (there's a story behind this, but I won't waste your time on it). Still, the NBA sucks.

    What's your standing in the church?
    Active. I often "have to" run home after sacrament meeting to check on "something" if the Broncos are on TV, and I also have a policy of not answering local numbers I don't recognize in order to avoid speaking in church. It has worked flawlessly since I got married six years ago.

    Do you pee in the sink?
    Does the shower count?

    When your kids get older, will you do drugs with them in order to teach them a responsible approach to drugs?
    I'd like to know the story behind this question.

    Are you looking forward to Wuap's welcome question and what do you think it will be?
    Again, I'd like to know the story behind this question.

    Why are you so creepy? How long have you been lurking?
    I have a considerable case of napoleon complex that is exacerbated by looking like an 18-year-old. Lurking? Not long.

    I'm glad you're here. You're blessed by God as a Broncos fan. And wuap's questions are a blast in his own mind.

        A hearty welcome! The answers are great, except for the fixation on the Denver Donkeys.

            I agree, a donkey fan in Dallas can't be fun even after the debacle two weeks ago.

              Welcome, prstrings. We need another lawyer running around the board to keep the other ones in line.

              Since you used the pellegrino-approved, TheBYUGuy-improved introduction template, I'll see if I can help you out here.

                    Welcom prstrings. I have surmised that the "pr" in your name refers to "private reserve." If you have a private reserve of guitar strings, you must be one helluva player. Please post one of your youtube videos playing "Hallelujah." DU Ute is running out of options.

                    Also, where did you go to law school?
                    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                      I assumed it was a reference to some sort of Carrib/Spanish guitar....Puerto Rican Strings. That sort of thing.

                            I'll deal with it. :-) Besides, so long as they're members and not mods, I should be fine.

                              Your guess as to my moniker is spot on. Unfortunately, youtube is against my religious beliefs, so I cannot post a video. My apologies.

                              I went to law school at the University of Virginia, and I had a relatively good time. On a side note, I'm saddened that Al Groh has managed to lead UVA to two straight victories. I was hoping that he would finally be shown the door.
