2. What does your online name mean?

However, I see teenagers and children (and their families for a wide variety of problems) Note, my profession shouldn't be confused with a psychologist (whom I respect and am good friends with quite a few) as they don't go to medical school and don't have the same level of medical knowledge (a common source of confusion among people)

I knew then that I would NEVER be a surgeon.

I believe the first set of books went by the name, The Belgariad. Great books, all.

No, I wouldn't have known them. I was in Stuttgart from 88-92, so that was a little before my time...

Interesting, my dad graduated from K-Town High back in...ohh...it must have been 1964-ish. We used to take trips down there every once in a while to see his old stomping grounds. He also lived in Hiedelburg when he was younger.

Bad Kissingen...I'm pretty sure I played either baseball or basketball against them. I can't remember if it was during my year on the JV basketball team or if it was in one of my years in a youth rec league. Either way, I'm pretty sure we whupped them...

the sentence should have been phrased differently.

"named Belgarion" could refer to "Garion" or "books" -- i took it as "books".

But, point taken.

Interesting, my dad graduated from K-Town High back in...ohh...it must have been 1964-ish. We used to take trips down there every once in a while to see his old stomping grounds. He also lived in Hiedelburg when he was younger.

Bad Kissingen...I'm pretty sure I played either baseball or basketball against them. I can't remember if it was during my year on the JV basketball team or if it was in one of my years in a youth rec league. Either way, I'm pretty sure we whupped them...

Well, BK only went up to elementary school on post, so you prolly played our pathetic youth league baseball team. One of my dad's buddies coached us, and he had no business doing so. Plus, we didn't have a huge talent base to draw from anyway, we were a small post, mainly just there for a staging area for the 2/11 armored Cav. They were the quick response unit in case the Russians decided to cross the Fulda Gap. I think we were about 80 km from the border. Oh the fun of wondering if we were going to be overrun by Russians! ;- )

[johnnyshaka]

1. What is your first name? John

2. What does your online name mean? Nickname given to me by the guys on my baseball team 10 years ago. Still unsure why they called me "Johnny Shaka" because there used to be this little black kid who would dance in the aisles at Ottawa Senators' games between whistles with that name. I'm a big white guy who needs a case of beer to even get the nerve up to dance, let alone even do it well.

3. What City do you live in? Edmonton, Alberta...born here...moved to Ottawa when I was 4...moved back here when I was 24.

4. How old are you? just turned 29

5. What team do you root for and why? Edmonton Oilers (always have cheered for them cause I was born here and Paul Coffey is my second cousin), Oakland Athletics (loved them ever since I saw a picture of Rickey Henderson in one of those old O-Pee-Chee sticker books), and the Eagles (saw an NFL Films episode showcasing mobile QBs and Randall Cunningham caught my eye instantly).

6. What do you do for a living or are you in school? Work in the IT Dept of a schoolboard on the outskirts of Edmonton.

7. How long have you been playing FOF? Only own TCY...but have had that for about a year.

8. How did you find out about this website? OOTP Boards.

9. Something interesting about you? I'm righthanded, but bat left, golf left, shoot (hockey) left and stroke with my left hand.

I was about to say that we may have played against each other, but you're a year and a half older than me. We may have been in different age groups at that time. Do you remember ever playing a team from Robinson Barracks (RB)?
