I think I might be allowed to be a little ridiculous once in a while, what do you think?

As for the jab it's a composite result of my own carelessness, and the abject exhaustion I experience every time someone thinks they have got me pegged so well that they have no personal obligation to explore any further, and that is not necessarily you, though you caught the brunt of it (not in it's entirety) and I apologize for that.

the Vampyromorphida better known as the "Vampire Squid From Hell" is an exotic cephalopod (see wikipedia entry en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire_squid ).

Other than that I suppose if you feel the need to classify me I am a wee bit steampunk, although I only know this because I have been told now like five times, which I find odd, since I have sort of just been doing my thing for a while now.

I don't know how it happened to be honest, When I was busy purchasing antique clothing and building steam engines, and going sailing I didn't think it made me a member of some subculture.

operantly at least in part I am classifiable, but please don;t limit the thing to a bad will smith film and imply that I am out copying it, thats just annoying, for God sake I spent two years of my life actually living by gaslight, and grew up helping my father do things like design and construct three of the houses we lived in by hand electrical, plumbing generator soil tests and all. I also make my own sketch books stretch my own canvas, grind my own pigments, make my own dyes, work with over 50 mediums.

It isn't exactly fair to say I have just watched the wild wild west too many times, because I want a giant mechanical spider, when I could probably design and build one with the proper resources.

thats all really.
