Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same.  I'll get a brief start going..

I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager.  Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature.  I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters.  I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

My name is from a band that I like.  It's a bit of a supergroup made up of bands most of you probably never heard of :).  I stole it long ago as a username and try to use it as often as possible.  I have the same name on Sherdog, but never post there.

That sounds interesting.. do you have a website?  Since we got on the "names" meaning.. we could also discuss with eachother our Avatars.  Mine I think is obvious.. Wandy.  He is a fighter a really respect and it was just an awesome av!

My Avatar- Shogun and Penn are my favorite fighters, Shogun's fight with Arona is one of my all time favorites of his and I just think the kick he opened up the fight with was complete bad assery..I recently got the same pic autographed by him

one of my favorite shogun moments was when his opponent literally left the ring to avoid further punishment. i have yet to see something like that happen again.

Mark Kerr won a fight the same way back in '97.  My avatar will constantly be changing.  Right now it's just something that struck me as funny that I stole from a friend on facebook.

I get a ton of questions about my av and other things.. remember you guys can comment on my profile and I'll get back to you. 

I wonder what OldManGloom's next AV is going to be...

@Kalibo you must be close to getting yours too? we all joined around the same time....keeping your rankings up to date is a good point getter, although i do find it cheap if we keep our 2009 and 2010 fights of the year etc up to date

Upkick KO! First ever? @Kalibo, I've got one more weekend of fights which happened to be UFC 128.  @Samson, refresh your dial-up! :) Seriously, did you get rid of that yet?
