Batz,

I have never seen a photograph of you, so I don't know what you look like, 
but after reading that, I am imagining that you might look something like the 
John Malkovich character from the film "Waterworld".  Tell me, do you wear the 
pirate's eye patch all the time, or just while you're salvaging old circuit 
boards?
