Both, most especially mbuna, amazonian, west africans. But I've kept and bred some of the Central American guapotes including jags and trimacs. Also kept a 5ft tanganikan community for a while. Never kept the Madagascan cichlids tho.

I might be a yankee but I know good BBQ. Really sad I had to give up my smoker and move to a condo :( Also getting into cooking Mexican food lately and I make a pretty mean enchilada sauce. I was raised italian so I can also cook anything that has red sauce on it, but it's not tomato sauce, it's gravy.

I am knowledgeable about how to bring sexy back.

*Aspiring chef (Chinese, Mexican, Indian, and American are my specialty areas)
*Can lift heavy things and have ample experience in packing and moving.
*Bear-trap like memory when it comes to unimportant stuff like game rules and trivia.

All I got are:
*Trolling (Forums that is)
*M*A*S*H
*How to properly chug a beer
*Willpower (Mostly on how to not become an Alcoholic, but still drink as much as possible)

Warpcrafter knows how to make a tasty meal with assorted odds and ends from the fridge, especially if one or more of the ingredients is about to go bad. That comes from 15 years of being a short-order cook and food prep specialist for nearly every chain restaurant in the Kansas City area. Those with a weak stomach need not ask, for you will not like the answer.

Cooking: Been a professional chef for about 7 years. Including running a sushi restaurant.

Physics: Just about to start a masters course, so ask all you like about plasmas.

Throwing people out of bars/clubs: Without violence (most of the time). Use your mouth, don't get punched in it.

Comics: Embarassingly large collection. Mostly Vertigo stuff.

I can help with the following:

Casino Games: If you need to know odds, etiquette, random facts, or game security policies let me know.

Computer repair: Windows and a lesser extent Linux.

Reptile Care: I know something about almost every reptile available in the pet trade.

Misc Trivia: I have a habit of remembering strange and generally useless facts. If you have a question on something completely random or trivial just let me know.
