Hello fellow Wikipedians (and other stragglers),

I started here in May of 2004, mostly because Wikipedia kept popping up on searches for random trivia, so I thought, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." So I did. As well as being a geek, I'm a hopeless playwright from the left coast of the Great White North (a very proud comrade of Soviet Canuckistan...all power to the beavers!). I believe in one for all, abortions for some, miniature American flags for others.

I stole my name from Joseph Heller (and he can't have it back).

Cheers,

Yossarian

PS: To anyone who doesn't italicize plays, novels, publications, et cetera: I will eat your soul.

PPS: If you underline them, I'll eat your mother's soul.

PPPS: I may or may not be a communist...but I assure you the flag is just kitsch.
