There's a join in here about "experiencing your lair", but I'm far too much of a gentleman to make such a crude joke (nb: I am in no way far too much of a gentleman to make such a crude joke, it's just funnier to say that...)

I actually grew up in Toronto, and now I live in a suburb outside of Toronto, so biggest in Canada, something like 4th or 5th biggest in North America, last I checked.

Yeah, I'm not particularly good at construction work, as evidenced by my repeated injuries.

Also, I make no apologies for my fucking tongue ring!

Hey, who am I to ignore a set-up like that... Even when I somehow typed "join" instead of "joke"? I don't know how that happened...

I must say, it will make me feel marginally less special if every other dude has a tongue ring... Are the lady-guys supposed to get them too? 'cause that's fun also, too...

Depending on where in upstate NY your friend will be, it's quite close... Niagara Falls or Buffalo are the typical crossing points for us Southern Ontario types (also, the Canadian side of Niagara Falls is, since fact, way nicer looking than the US side!)

Yes, typos do happen. And it's always infuriating!

I don't necessarily see that as unfortunate, though as a relatively pervy male, a little foray with the other team now and again by the lady in my life is not frowned upon...

Hrmm... I honestly don't know the geography of upstate NY well enough to speculate as to where she could be going

Totally reasonable, no sense doing things you're uncomfortable with!

Also, too, that is clearly not 2 words!

Nothing wrong with being stubborn, as long as you're flexible in other ways! :P

Well, I'm back at work today, so other than eye strain and carpel tunnel I'm in a pretty low-risk environment... FOR NOW (have a bunch of gear to move tonight, so... y'know... fingers crossed!)

That's good to know! ;) I'll tongue ring yours if you... something...something... :P

I was off for 6 days, and I've got another 3 days off from the 11th-13th, just had to use up last years' days and work around time other people had already booked off.

I'm also not sure that it's kidnapping if you're requesting it...

You know it!

So you want a KINO, huh? I can dig it. My passport has expired, so if you want it to happen any time in the near future, you'll have to meet me at the border...

To be fair, I DID say that it's a terrible PhD, but it's an awesome skull lair...

Kidnapping In Name Only. Geez :P

Uhh... You really think I don't have a flaming moat with fireproof alligators in it? What do you think this is, amateur hour?

Short answer: no. Long answer, I own a DSLR camera, so I probably think I am, right?

I just got a good deal on the camera, and I think the picture that's my avatar looks decent enough... I'm a musician and I work in I.T. if you were getting at the whole "what do you do when you're not wonking" thing :P

That is an excellent guess. While I do have the sort of "jack of all trades" thing going on as a musician, drums are my main instrument and the one I play on that song (and with that band). What made you think "drummer", BTW?

Well, as a general rule, drummers are awesomesauce. Except the lefties, left handed drummers can DIAF! :P

Okay, well... in that case maybe not LITERALLY DIAF, but figuratively...
