@RuralNinja Matt Kenseth fan, regularly handle hissing roaches, and have actually mentioned both here in the last few weeks. But I know practically nothing about IT. So close.
@RuralNinja IT administrator, Mark Martin fan although I stopped following NASCAR after the recent rule changes that hobbled everyone so Toyota could win a championship...and if "handle" includes smashing with a shoe and removing with a paper towel while my wife screams, then that's me.
I actually somewhat resemble the "IT administrator/NASCAR fans who regularly handle hissing cockroaches" category! Minus the roaches and the admin pay...
A few years ago, I would have fit in a demographic, thanks to my mom breeding a set of hissing cockroaches for a local insect zoo. Of course, I wasn't a NASCAR fan at that point. So close. Argh.
I'm an IT admin, NASCAR is neat, and I love hissing cockroaches.
Trivia: in the first Men in Black movie, Will Smith taunts the bug alien by kicking a dumpster to reveal a pile of roaches. The roaches used were Madagascar hissing cockroaches. "Was that your auntie?"
@Bandrik Our science museum has movie clips in the animal room that star our critters. We have the Men in Black dumpster scene and a shortened version of this:
IT admin, biker scum, scruffy looking nerf herder, bored with anything but rally or motorcycle racing, who occasionally handles boas & pythons, and has handled tarantulas, and a ridiculously wide variety of reptiles, amphibians, mammals, fish and invertibrates.
With the number of people clicking "other" in the poll, I was expecting more people to come up with their own schmemographics here in the forum thread.
I'm a quasi system administrator who's also a Jimmy Johnson fan, but we don't have hissing cockroaches around here. I guess that Amazon or Google is going to have to send those highly targeted Orkin ads to someone else.
@joelmw Too bad. Perhaps you fit a bit sloppily into categories? As my old Granny used to say: "Neatness counts." (And yes, I DID wait until you could no longer edit before I posted this. )
@rockblossom Hey, I'll own the literally sloppy too. And the various several levels in between. Apologies to your granny.
I won't put any "your mom" jokes here, but there are some good possibilities. Not because of you (or your mom), but just, yaknow, because "sloppy" and "fitting in."
@joelmw And my Granny would have laughed heartily at them all, and likely countered with something about "falling in neatly" or not at all. Granny grew up in a "Methody" household with a strict, religious father who made her early life a living hell. She spent the rest of her life trying to be his polar opposite. Great Grandad went to his eternal reward with no one but a brother in attendance, since none of his kids or grandkids were willing to attend unless they could spit on the grave. Gran's funeral was so packed it was standing room only.
@rockblossom I think I would have liked your Granny. I grew up Nazarene (at first, then Assemblies of God)--which descends from Wesley as well (if I'm catching your drift about "Methody"), and is all about the holiness and shit. Happily, for their various concerns with righteousness and occasional outbursts of strictness, my grandma and her daughters mostly knew how to laugh heartily and have a good time (to varying degrees; I think Mom and her youngest sister were the biggest partiers) and were/are (alas, of those who remain) all nurturers, forgiving and merciful.
I find myself--having grown up preoccupied with all of that shit (I took it a little too seriously at times and in part)--trying to be my younger self's polar opposite. I like to think I imposed the strictness less on others than myself, but I know I did a little.
@sammydog01 We like you. And many of my favorite people (including me) love that shit too. Of course that might just make it worse for you. Sorry about that.
This is beginning to sound like Woot's polls. Please stop.
@pooflady you're an idiot if you didn't realize this site is from the same creator of woot so.....there ya go!
@mangopancake Was aware of Snapster approximately 2004 and followed him here. And you?
@pooflady Yeah! Gosh, how could you not know that? :snarf:
@capguncowboy Must have just slipped my mind.
So close. I'm a network admin who's favorite driver is Kyle Busch, but I only sparingly handle hissing cockroaches.
@RuralNinja I bet he wasn't your favorite before he started winning. That guy's an asshole.
@RuralNinja Hollywood's favorite Arthropod!
@RuralNinja
My fav driver is whoever is driving me. Normally that's me.

@DonberKon At least he didn't say Logano.

Oh hell, I'm a bit of each one. All done here. Next!

The very most brilliant poll so far! You've outdone yourselves.

This quiz was great, now we're gettin' back to basic meh.. Keep'um comin' you magnificent bon bon slayers.

Nah, I'm just kidding. It's a rabbit in the stomach of a cat in a rabbit costume.

Thankfully however, this dog gets it:

@metageist Zero cats. I'm not crazy!

@f00l
I love that scene.
@sammydog01 How about this one?
@Teripie Nice! I took a photo of my favorite roach today. Yes, we have 30 or so roaches and I have a favorite.

@ianrbuck Kick it off!
@ianrbuck I'm a rebel. I answered but didn't vote Others. Or anything, really.
@narfcake
Anything, really?
So is that on your shirt today?
;)
I do not fall into categories. I approach them with caution, then edge my way around them.
@rockblossom Great. Now I don't feel special any more.
@rockblossom
Sometimes those innocent-looking categories are full of hissing cockroaches. Best to avoid.
@f00l Not to mention artichokes, glass eyes and screaming children.
@rockblossom
Artichokes and glass eyes get a bad rap.
@f00l True. They are okay as long as you don't confuse the two.
... oh,and, children. Children can turn out okay if you take enough time with them and use the right marinade.

There are only two types of people in the world: those who fit neatly into categories and those who don't. I'm the latter.
@joelmw Too bad. Perhaps you fit a bit sloppily into categories? As my old Granny used to say: "Neatness counts." (And yes, I DID wait until you could no longer edit before I posted this. )
@rockblossom
Nice.
@joelmw There are only two types of people in the world: Those who believe there are only two types of people and everyone else.
@DaveInSoCal
That's gonna keep me busy for a while. So much for thinking about possibly working on being productive today.
@joelmw that always reminds me of:
"There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary, and those who don't."
@carl669
A Hex on all your decimals!

@DaveInSoCal Exactly.

I'm just this guy, you know?
@DaveInSoCal Yeah, when I think of a guy named Dave from So Cal, Zaphod is what comes to mind.
Aren't those all subcategories on Tinder or Match.com?
Don't think I missed that little elbow to the ribs, @JasonToon
@matthew How are the artichokes looking this year?
as always, okey-dokey
@matthew I could see you as a few of these, but I like Spike Jones the best, and see his influence on your and your entourage's style.

@joelmw My favorite records as a teen were Monty Python, Tom Lehrer, and Spike Jones. I didn't have a lot of friends.

@joelmw Aww, Thanks! I forgot these guys too:
