H, I'm Tavern Knight
 

but really I'm Cassia Cougar (aka DixieCougar).

From Cali (until age 10), then Georgia (until age 18 and again for a few years later as an adult), and most recently from Utah. I hope to call Texas my home soon and for many years to come, either Dallas area or Paris, TX up in the NE corner.

I do GIS work, work from home which is good and bad, been married 10 years, have four great kids (I'm not saying how many bad ones).

I'm short, fat, and bald, but I did get laser eye surgery, so at least I don't wear glasses any more.

I'm Cougarboard's version of the anti-Christ due to a series of unfortunate events. I don't hate any one, not even some of the CB mods ... I just hate the things they DO.

Amen.

EWT and LiveCoug are among the worst posters/mods on CB.

1.) I don't believe you're sincere, you're probably BFF with them.
2.) I love them as my brothers.

yea my last two bans are for "hard on" and "hipster fags", I'm a real deviant what can I say.

what is gis work?

Geographic Information Systems.

Paris, TX is a much better place to live than Dallas. Yes, I have seen the movie, and yes, I have been there.

What did you do to deserve giving yourself the title of "knight"?

Welcome! Here, you are free from the tyranny of me.

And that is?

Yes, you're probably much more bearable when you're not burdened by the need to correct my behavior and parent me. :-)

Making maps, GPS, aerial photos, etc

One time cougjunkie was all accosting aussiecoug on CB and I verbally beat the stuffin' out of him.

I think rescuing a damsel in distress should qualify me.

I think I had just read a book with the title "Tavern Knight" when I signed up on this site mabye 6 months ago or something like that? I usually suck at picking my board monikers, I always think of something better later.

I should have been Bernie Mac, I was Bernie Mac one time on CB for a day ... " 'Merica, Bernie Mac don't gotta tell you what happened when they found out I was Bernie Mac".

I've got to admit, "Bernie Mac" is pretty fresh. If you're not going to use it, do you mind if I do?

Sure, go ahead. However, if I see you having too much fun with it and I get jealous, I may have to start using "The Mac Man".

Hey, I'm a GIS person, too. Have a degree in geography. Love maps. But I don't make the maps/databases, I use GIS to create spatial attributes for the data I'm working with, then port the data and conduct spatial/statistical analyses. Very interesting work, and it tends to impress people (even if it is a poorly done analysis) because few people have seen it before. So I'm not really good with GIS, I've just learned enough to get by.

Oh, and we might be related - I'm short, fat, (not quite bald yet), wear glasses, and have four kids as well. Scary.

There goes the neighborhood.

Nerds the whole lot of you.

Anyone going to the ESRI User Conf in August? I should be there again this year.

I will be there. Friday to Friday.

Yea, I probably fit the definition of a nerd pretty well.

I won't be at the conference, but I'm considering the 2008 ESRI Health GIS Conference in DC at the end of September.

I wish I was going. I'm going to try really hard to go in the future, but I've still never been. My current company sucks when it comes to shelling out for that kind of thing.

Not surprisingly, my work blocks this site. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
