Interesting bit that. Come to think of it, my on again off again sig refers
to a charecter that would qualify, though I never really took the flaw.
Basicly my current charecter, save for the first time we met, always wears
hawaiian print shirts, athough he does have a few with a dark grey on black
print for runs. That and he always wears the starfleet academy ballcap that
has been in the family for years. This is the same charecter who was
introduced as listening to beach boys music, and has a definate love of anime.
HM wanders off thinking of how best to ... surprise... his fellow runners
with some of his video collection...
