marklog thought this was worth mentioning said Fri, Jul 25th 2014 at 4:37pm ET

So, lots of beakers are posting. What the fuck do you all do? I'm going to see if I can name all that I've seen so far: In no particular order, @snapster (ok, that was in a particular order), @dave, @jont, @shawn, @matthew, @harrison, @katylava, @hart, @mehcus, @hollboll, @chadp, @denboy, @mehdiocre WHEW! Sorry if I missed someone, it's only because you haven't made a very lasting impression on me. Beakers, tell us about yourselves. The less truthful the better. Knowing too much about folks on the other side of the internet makes it just a little too real.

Hi, I'm @JonT and I'm the Community Communications Lead at Mediocre Labs.

Some of this is true and some is less true:
- I just moved to Texas about a year ago from Southern California.
- I once punched a shark in the nose while I was surfing in Hawaii.
- I play bass guitar and like to write.
- I invented the post-it note.
- I own a successful emu farm.
- I've never seen The Godfather.
- I substitute real life relationships with talking to strangers on the internet to feel better about myself ohgodineedhelp.

Most of this is trueish, most of it, maybe:
- Despite living in the good ole' state of Texas my entire life I do not own a gun or drive a truck.
- But I do own cowboy boots
- I currently have a zombie puppet version of my self covering a giant dinosaurs head sitting on my desk
- I once performed in a "Very Tuba Christmas" concert
- My favorite number is Free
- My real name is Heisenberg
- I do not keep up with the Kardashians
