JGB--If you wish to have a username rather than your name, you can do that, even if you log in through facebook. I was floating around with my full name here for awhile before I figured it out. You just go into your profile and change it...

Can we discuss why you should all quit smoking now?

I quit 8 years ago and it was great.  I never regret it.  And I smell fantastic all the time.

Holy hell, I should've kept up with this post... "58 new"

Since Matt blended together Jeffrey 1 & 2, I'll just answer that list too.

-I am pretty sure he used instagram for his picture - You definitley meant me, but no it isn't Instagram. A buddy of mine took my picture with some kind of pinkish hue setting, and what you see is the closest I could get to normal color.

-He is comically elitist about everything. Music, books, writing styles, adverbs - Nah, you like what you like.

-He has a pretty epic beard - I wish.

-He owns a typewriter - Yep, en route.

-I thought he lived in Oregon, but now it says Milwaukee. Both are hotbeds of hipsterdom. - It's probably a safe bet that any major city is a hotbed for hipsters. I myself am the Milwaukee Jeff and yeah, there's a lot of hipsters out here. But there's also equal parts of frat types, ghetto types, red necks and normal t-shirt & jeans types. Me? I'm just a t-shirt and jeans type.

-He uses his full name instead of a username. - Yep, Facebook login.

I hope I still seem fine to youz guyz.

That was more a reference to someone else and with an awkward avatar and a more awkward personality. But the hidden face...it's like...peek-a-boo! Or "I'm a little shy and vulnerable but here I am!" or something. I don't know what you were trying to communicate (if anything) but it is endearing.

Well, a friend of mine has one of those gigs where he goes around to different bars, takes a bunch of candid pics of the people there and posts them online.

Phase 1: Drunk people pictures.
Phase 2: ?
Phase 3: Profit.

Regardless, I'm not into that whole scene, much less getting my picture taken in the first place.  Combine that with him hounding me until he could get a shot of me and... voila! There's the picture you see.
