Getting to know each other...

[Linguistic]

Here's a little something so we can all get to know each other a little better...

1. Name?
2. Where are you from?
3. Hobbies other than e-fedding?
4. Two parter: What brought you into e-fedding / Why do you stay with it?
5. Now we all know the moon isn't made out of cheese, but if it was made out of barbequed spare ribs, would you eat it then?


There you have it. By the way, that is why my friends call me whiskers.

1. Name? Chris McMillan (Note: I am my character, not the other way around)
2. Where are you from? Cadillac, Michigan. Been all over the place thanks to the Navy.
3. Hobbies other than e-fedding? D00d ... l33t v1d30 g4m3r!
4. Two parter: What brought you into e-fedding / Why do you stay with it? What brought me in to fwrestling ... hmmm ... Initially, I ran a fed on AOL using the dice roller for matches. It was (Peter Griffin voice) FREAKIN' SWEET, and at the time a completely unique fed. I think I found this type of fwretling while I was browsing Yahoo Groups and came across NFW. I sray because it's a hell of a lot of fun. Gives me a chance to stretch my creative writing skills, and I love all things wrestling anyway..
5. Now we all know the moon isn't made out of cheese, but if it was made out of barbequed spare ribs, would you eat it then? You bet. I love me some ribs.

EDIT: Forgive the typos. Since I ran out of the green combustible type of chemical entertainment I've had to turn to the liquid type.

 

[CuseTroy]

1. Name? Adam Shinder
2. Where are you from? Holland, PA, but I'm currently at school in Syracuse, NY.
3. Hobbies other than e-fedding? Writing, reading, sports, becoming frighteningly obsessed with mind-warping TV dramas.
4. Two parter: What brought you into e-fedding / Why do you stay with it? In 1998 or so, I had a friend who ran an e-mail fed, which I joined until he stopped running it about a month later. But, the idea stuck with me, and, on winter break in high school, I stumbled on the old version of this site and decided to join up. I've been here (sporadically) ever since. I stick around because, like Chris, this gives me a chance to do the creative writing that my journalism major almost never lets me do, plus by now I feel I've put too much of myself into these characters to be able to truly give up on them. I also really love this community, the people on it, and the opportunity it gives me to read other great writing that very few others ever see.
5. Now we all know the moon isn't made out of cheese, but if it was made out of barbequed spare ribs, would you eat it then? Only if they're dry-rubbed and hickory smoked. Oh, who am I kidding. Bring 'em on no matter what!

Since I've got a few of you to respond, it's my turn...

1. Name?
Joshua Ray

2. Where are you from?
Born in Tuscaloosa, AL... raised in Lebanon, MO... 7 years of the army has got me all over the place since then.

3. Hobbies other than e-fedding?
Basketball, hip hop, studying Korean...

4. Two parter: What brought you into e-fedding / Why do you stay with it?
I came to e-fedding originally in 1996 when wrestling was at it's peak during the Monday Night Wars. I had been a wrestling fan since I was 2 or 3. I stumbled onto the RP through e-mail version of e-fedding and it allowed me to be a wrestler of my own creation. I had very limited success. I came back recently due to stress, and I'm much better at writing promos. I think I'll stick with it due to the destressing qualities... and the friends I make through it.

5. Now we all know the moon isn't made out of cheese, but if it was made out of barbequed spare ribs, would you eat it then?
Hell yeah. Bring on the spare ribs!

Dude ... :: sigh :: to wrestle would be the greatest thing ever.

I got a little training from one of the guys who plays here that used to wrestle, but the cost of the school has kept me out of the ring. Sadness ensues.

2. Where are you from?

Philadelphia PA

3. Hobbies other than e-fedding?

Family Guy, sports, blogging

4. Two parter: What brought you into e-fedding / Why do you stay with it?

Because I'm a giant dweeb and I like wrestling/Because it's addictive, fun, and if I left, 5 feds would probably fold

5. Now we all know the moon isn't made out of cheese, but if it was made out of barbequed spare ribs, would you eat it then?

I know I would... hey, what's your favorite planet? Mine's the Sun, it's like the king of planets.

3. Hobbies other than e-fedding? Video games, music, radio, guitar, writing various things, meditating, reading.

4. Two parter: What brought you into e-fedding / Why do you stay with it? I saw something somewhere about MCW when Jeff opened it in 2003 - I think it was over at LoP since that's where I get my wrestling news. It seemed interesting at the time. Still is, and I've had the chance to get to grips with character development a lot the past two and a half years.

5. Now we all know the moon isn't made out of cheese, but if it was made out of barbequed spare ribs, would you eat it then? Not right now, I'm about to start a detox programme, so only fruit, veg, tofu, soy products and water for me - or if I feel like really punishing myself, green tea ><

[Hell_Fighter]

1. Name?: Patrick M. Shutt

2. Where are you from? Springfield, Missouri (U.S.A.)

3. Hobbies other than e-fedding? Video games, table top RPGs, writing, playing percussion (Djembe, congas, bongos, etc.) theater/acting, song writing, church, and whatever else comes to mind.

4. Two parter: What brought you into e-fedding / Why do you stay with it?

a) Back in 1999, just got back into pro wrestling. All of a sudden I was hit with a character concept for a new character (kind of like what if I was in WWE/WCW sort of thing) I shopped around the internet submitting this concept to efeds with them getting rejected until I came across Fwrestling.com still kind of in its infancy, and came across the MWC (Warren Fitzpatrick's fed) who liked the concept and me as a person. (The character was HellFighter) I knew absolutely nothing about efedding and it was all "learn as I went along." I guess you could say that I broke a few eggs before I finally got the hang of it so to speak.

b) Once I finally got the hang of it I finally got into the not only the creative aspect of efedding but also the competive aspect of it. I really got into it. Even when I was failing (which I hate to admit as my stubborn pride doesn't allow me to) I still kept at it even with failed gimmicks, angles, programs, feuds, and even falling outs with fellow handlers. I still refused to give up and admit defeat. Now here I am again going one more time in efedding again.

5. Now we all know the moon isn't made out of cheese, but if it was made out of barbequed spare ribs, would you eat it then? If its food and I am hungry I will eat it. Especially if you take me to an all-you-can-eat rib buffet I will stay there until they close just so I can sue the resteraunt the next day because I didn't get "all I could eat" (I.E. Homer Simpson)

 

[Linguistic]

Patrick, just so you know... I am in the army but I hail from Lebanon, MO. Graduated there in 1999, and still go back to visit every once in a great while. I'll be there again late summer as I move my wife in preparation for another trip to Iraq.

Needless to say I have spent a little bit of time in Springfield. Have a couple of friends that live there. What church do you go to?

Josh

 

[Hell_Fighter]

Hey Josh,

Thanks for filling me in and letting me know about you and Iraq. God be with you on that. My best friend since childhood, Michael is also scheduled to go to Iraq. Right now he is on leave for about 10 days and then leaves.

Right now, I go to Parkcrest Assembly Of God in Springfield. It recently just completed a merger with Calvary Temple Assembly Of God (or what they have been calling it, a "Marriage" so to speak).

 

[True Life]

man, I hope you guys aren't one of those who just kill and humiliate innocent iraqis/muslims...

 

[robishott]

There aint no innocent Iraqis in my book.

 

[Hell_Fighter]

man, I hope you guys aren't one of those who just kill and humiliate innocent iraqis/muslims...

No, I am sure that my friend Michael or Josh is going to kill and humiliate innocent iraqs/muslims True Life.

My friend Michael is going only because it is a duty that he is sworn to uphold the laws and freedoms of our country. Does he wanna go? No he doesn't, but he does it out of duty. I think that is said for every soldier that is over there. They are over there defending this country. I don't think that they are they to simply gun down innocent muslims as you so put it. No man in war should ever take pleasure in taking the life of another. Each and every killing situation that they are put into should be forever etched into their hearts. I pray that they they are not desynsitized and hardened by war. No man should ever feel like they should "get used to it." I think that even though they are faced with a life or death situation if God willing they survive it they should never forget it or stop mourning for the life they took.

At least that is what I would wanna do if I could be over there, but I can not.

I am sure that Josh feels the same way in that he is going over there out of duty because he swore an oath to defend this country regardless of whether or not he agrees that we should be over there or not.

In closing, do not be governed by igorence and by the haunting past of Vietnam after our soldiers came back from the jungles and were totally shunned and outcasted by the same very country that they were protecting.

 

[Hell_Fighter]

There aint no innocent Iraqis in my book.

Be careful about saying such things man because there are innocents who are not involved in war that die everyday just as much as the people we are fighting. I mean we are still in Iraq simply because we are trying to make certain that Iraq stays free and another Sadam Hussan doesn't enter into power.

Again I don't agree with us being there, but at the same time I will not shun our soldiers who are still fighting over there. I've been saying this even before my friend Michael enlists. I pray that this war would finally end, but until it does I stand by no so much the reasons why we are there but the soldiers who are fighting and dying for us.

But there are innocent iraqis....women and children for one.

 

[True Life]

I think the US should leave Iraq and the rest of the islamic terretory (sp? it's late over here...) alone or help them in a CONSTRUCTIVE way, it's not like they are really a threat to the US. Just to avoid any confusion: Majority of muslims don't support terrorism just as most of the goverments do! And I'm sure you're none of those who kill innocents, but in every group there are black sheeps... and lately in the US army there seem to be a lot of them. Sadly your goverment/Bush is using you for their/his evil plan.

Well, let's not turn this into a political debate. I just felt that it was my "duty" to voice my opinion.

 

[robishott]

Right you are man. American troops don't want to "kill" they've been taught as little kids that killing was bad. They do it to protect their families at home.

You're right man. Forgive me if I got on a tangent. I agree with you. That is how I feel. I don't like the war anymore than you, but I support the troops while their there. Hopefully they will leave even though I find it funny that Bush is talking about removing the troops from Iraq in an election year. These are things that either make you go Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (Think Arsenio Hall) or things that make you laugh.

Anyway, back onto topic and getting to know everybody...resuming conversation.

 

[True Life]

well, it's the first time I had a kind of conversation with someone on here, so it helped "getting to know each other"... lol
