::: Q ::: Tell us about yourself.

Jim8ball aka Jim Coon was raised in the dark mines of evil dwarves living in Poland. He was fed only oatmeal and licorice. On Thursdays he was given the task of entertaining the dwarves by reenacting scenes from Fred Astaire movies. Do you know how hard it is to dance like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers at the same time? At the age of 15 he was able to escape the mines and book passage on a small freighter headed for "parts unknown". Those parts turned out to be an island full of dinosaurs and a large gorilla. After a short stint on the island (the natives loved the Fred Astaire routine ) Jim found himself on the docks of the greatest city in the world! New York City. It was in New York that Jim discovered he really didn’t like people so he moved to Cortland NY where he now resides.
