:It would be a travesty if Felix doesn't win another Cy Young. But beyond that, if you look at how stacked the Angels are, or how well Oakland is playing, I think they're looking at another last-place finish. That said, they have outstanding pitching and a ton of impressive young talent, plus a low payroll which would give them room to make a big-name pickup if they were in a close race. Maybe in a year or three... ''']'''&nbsp;<sup>]</sup> 21:16, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

XX% RETIRED


The number XX above may vary from week to week, mood to mood, but is more likely to be a large number than a small one .


Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit.

-Max Ehrmann, Desiderata

Misplaced Pages is basically Webkinz World for grownups.

-Mrs. Floquenbeam, while watching my daughter and I both "playing" at the same time

I haven't yet been screwed by sonneteers.
So that's how I select my fav'rite peers.

-User:Proofreader77, (unpublished work)


The Center of the Universe (the Mountain, not the city). I live very, very far away from it now. :(

Hello, and welcome

  • I respond to Floquenbeam, Floq, Flo, FB, any other nickname you can think of (as long as it's not rude), or even "hey you", as long as I know from context you're talking to me.
  • I don't go around correcting people when they guess wrong (hardly their fault), but I'm a "he".
  • I'm easy to get along with (at least in real life), so please give me any constructive criticism you want; I'm aware that I'm imperfect, and usually quite willing to admit it and apologize when I screw up.
  • I try my best to turn the other cheek, but I'm evidently not so great getting unconstructive criticism, particularly when my good faith is questioned, or if I think I'm being patronized.
  • I instinctively side with the underdog, so I tend to react poorly when I see other people (particularly newbies) bullied or patronized. I'm not convinced that's a defect, but I'm trying to make more of an effort in not going immediately into attack mode.
  • I'm an admin here. If you think I suck and shouldn't be, go here: User:Floquenbeam/Recall.
  • Sock declaration: User:Floquensock, User:Floquenstein's monster, and User:Floquenphone are me.
  • FWIW, I used to have another account before Floquenbeam, but abandoned it; so I've been here longer than it looks.

Userboxes

This user remembers (with nostalgia) having to use punch cards to run Fortran programs in college.


My first (and only!) self-created userbox, inspired by a conversation with an incredulous 25 year old coworker today

This user has been on Misplaced Pages for 16 years, 4 months and 30 days.


My wiki birthday. I am somewhat older than this in real life.

I'm an awesome Wikipedian!

Happy me day!

This user is an administrator, but might like not to be one some day.

According to The Political Compass this user is:
Economic Neutral (1.0) and
Social Libertarian (−5.0)


So no, I'm not working for Santorum's election campaign, in spite of occasional moronic claims to the contrary

This administrator is open to recall.


Finally got around to this: see User:Floquenbeam/Recall
