[QUOTE="CaBaNa, post: 5389744, member: 82643"] Cheers, I go by CaBaNa wherever I can get away with it, but my real name is Shawn. Background; Born in Michigan, moved to Indiana at a young age, enjoyed playing NES until all hours of the morning and my cat Max. Fast forward, cat ran away, and have since become allergic (to everything :hmm:). So now I've got a dog, an outdoor cat, and a skunk. Was two skunks, but one recently passed from cancer. The dog is a border collie, and thinks our fan is an evil being from an outer dimension sent to murder us all in our sleep. The skunk can't stink, as the scent glands have been removed, but if he goes without a bath for a little while, he'll smell like a wild animal. When startled or angry, he'll try and stink you, which translates to an awful nasty fart that dissipates after about 30 minutes or so. I have a fiance, she's wonderful, smart, gorgeous, and knows most of you guys by pseudonym. There is a standing request, that should anything ever happen to me, she is to sign into enworld under my moniker and explain to everyone why I won't be back. I work at a videogame shop, my main role is to help clueless moms find decent gifts. Secondary role is to talk specifics with the regulars about what they're playing at any given moment. It's a living, but not as sweet as when I worked at the winery. I both sold and made the wine, in between batches, there was time to hop on the computer and post here. Then they got busy, and "in between batches" became this mystical fantasy land that we reminisced about, so I quit. The place has since burned to the ground, no injuries. I'm sure they'll rebuild Before those jobs, was an endless array of promotional work. Stuff like handing out snickers/pepsi/pizza/condoms, talking about the latest greatest grill/t.v./handheld device/company, and doing product demonstrations.
