There are so many topics like these, i'm getting sick of them. I think there needs to be a sticky of getting to know your fellow tipiters because all I see now are:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What's your first name?

 

 

 

How old are you?

 

 

 

Where do you live?

 

 

 

What's your middle name?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's getting really annoying.
