Trolling SB is like the second grade of comedy--you have to be smart enough to put together a sentence, but stupid enough that you still need his help to develop material, and imperceptive enough that you think it's funny to your audience.

My name is James Robert Greenbaum. I grew up in a small town just outside of Omaha. My father was a department store owner and my mother taught third grade. I didn't do anything special in school but I did graduate and go to college, no hitch. I went to U of Wisconsin Green Bay and studied marine biology like a hundred thousand other "bright" students but eventually I switched majors to psychology and that's what I graduated in. I didn't go to grad school. Like a hundred thousand other "bright" students I wound up getting a job in the software industry, at first as a punch-card operator, but then after some training courses I moved up to programmer and then project manager and today I sit as a mid-level executive at a fairly well-known IT consulting firm. I live near Albany, New York, in a house worth $225,000, with a full two-car garage.

I have always found computers interesting. My other hobbies include fishing, football, and video games. I have a wife and one kid. My wife works at the same company but in a different department, the kid is nine and a girl and the apple of her daddy's eye. In my personal life I have lots of work friends and a few old college buddies, I participate off and on at school functions and get dragged off to PTA meetings, I don't belong to any other clubs or organizations, but I am a regular at the local sports bar. I don't smoke, drink only socially, and run when chased. In college I smoked pot and dropped acid, but not often. That's the extent of my illicit substances list unless you count porn.

I have no doubts about the ordinary nature of my life, except I'm much much smarter than you.
