One of my all time favorites... right up there with Bloom County & Outland.
Welcome to the zoo "Spiff"

Sorry, for the lack of originality, but I was handed this "handle" back in '81 - fresh outta high school from New Orleans at 17. I dove head first in to corporate IT in Dallas, and was working whenever I could, so that's what my friends called me; and it's stuck ever since. I relish the title, but sometimes those that don't know me, scoff. Those that know me, say nothing could suit me better.

I'll trust those I know.

My son Sam and I were great fans of Watterson's work when Sam was a young impressionable lad. My wife still is unsure of the choices I made when it came to sharing things with Sam. I was sort of the anti-dad in that regard and introduced him to Ren and Stimpy, Fritz the Cat, South Park, Ringo Starr in Thomas The Tank Engine...all that very subversive stuff....

I don't want to give it it away - it's a bit of a twist/pun. Who else was leader of a communist regime for awhile?

***Mufasa*** · 03-30-2011, 07:10 PM

Lesse...

Stalin
Kruschev
Brezhnev
"Gorbi"

might have gotten them out of order.... did I miss anyone? Putin is president... he doesn't count. He was a KGB agent, wasn't he? (Polit bureau)
