Behind the Jimberjam
Howdy! My name's Christopher, otherwise known on the wiki as Dennis. I'm a proud Texan, living somewhere between El Paso and Beaumont. At the age of 18, I'm one of the younger editors on the site, but I don't let that stop me in taking an active role in the wiki. I often patrol the recent changes, and I keep a sharp eye out for vandalism as well. I don't bite, though. Some folks would go so far as to say I'm a people-pleaser.
I'm an amateur audio engineer, getting "gigs" mostly through word of mouth. I've done a lot of live performances, but my passion is in the technical aspects of the job. While I enjoy working with sound, it doesn't pay nearly enough to be a full-time job, so I'm currently hunting down some steady employment. An elusive beast, to be sure.
I found homestarrunner.com in late 2004 as a suggestion from my sister. The first toon she had me see was The Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon, and from then on I was hooked. I couldn't get enough of the site, and often stayed up late on school nights watching every toon I possibly could. I still stay up late watching sbemails, truth be told. I discovered HRWiki in 2006, and edited my first page soon thereafter.
I enjoy homestarrunner.com because it's funny without being offensive. Oftentimes people figure that the only way to amuse an audience in this day and age is to use foul language, and incorporate suggestive and offensive material into their products. This is simply not the case with hr.com. It's the kind of entertainment I wouldn't be afraid to share with my home-schooled neighbors two houses down.
Texas Q&A
The word Texas immediately brings to mind the Wild Wild West, and all images associated with it. Vast open ranges, cowboys on horseback, saloons, and gunfights fill the imagination. While some of this may have been true when my great-great-grandparents settled here 140 years ago and established a little one-room schoolhouse on the prairie, such is not the case anymore. The west has since been settled. When people first find out that I'm from Texas, they'll often have some questions to ask. These are some of the more prevalent:
Q: Did you ride a horse to school?
A: This is a common misconception. Horses are no longer the primary mode of transportation in Texas. In the morning, I would simply hop in my tumbleweed and go. When my family goes to church on sunday mornings, though, we'll put a harness on our horse and ride on the buckboard wagon.
Q: Do all people in Texas listen to country music?
A: Let's just put it this way: in Texas, Bob Wills is still the king.
Q: If you're from Texas, then why aren't you wearing a cowboy hat?
A: My horse ate it.
Q: Do you have an oil well in your backyard?
A: Another common misconception. People tend to assume that Texas is filled with oil, but that is simply not the case. All the oil was taken out of the ground in Texas years ago. Nowadays homesteaders have oil wells installed for decoration.
Q: Is it hot in Texas?
A: Yes. Very yes.
