Actually, it does. Sort of reminds me of that condition of the unskilled where they think they are skilled.

If you want to go with self-depreciating metahumour, why not just tell us about your unusual drawings involving non-humans?

Because I have none?

I choose this handle because Kipling's original character was born into slavery, freed himself, successfully bargains for Mowgli's life - twice - and is a general all around bad-***.

It's not my fault Disney ruined it for everyone.

**** Disney.

And don't get me started on furries. They ruin everything. Literally, everything.

Hey goons, I have a question. Is this funny, dumb, or both?

Not that you guys really care about a non-goon opinion, but that was hilarious. Good thing was around while I was watching, could not stop laughing when that 4X got insta-jibbed.

Dear Anders,

I have recently been kept up at night for the past month thinking over this very important question, one that my make the meaning of mech trivial. It started small with night terrors, now its full blown insomnia and has come to the point where my mech licence has been revoked for piloting while impaired. It is a question that only you can answer I fear so here it goes. Anders, what is it like being Anders? What is your daily life like?

These questions have to be answered soon, I do not know about how much longer I can go on without an answer.

Mr. Cattra Kell:

To know my life is to know the following:

There is only the pubbie and the grognard. These two extremes ought not to be practiced by one who has gone forth from the household life. There is addiction to indulgence of sense-pleasures, which is low, coarse, the way of ordinary people, unworthy, and unprofitable; and there is addiction to self-mortification, which is painful, unworthy, and unprofitable.

Avoiding both these extremes, the Andersbot has realized the Middle Path; it gives vision, gives knowledge, and leads to calm, to insight, to enlightenment and to Mechvana. And what is that Middle Path realized by the Andersbot...?

It is the Noble Goonfold path, and nothing else, namely: right goon understanding, right goon thought, right goon speech, right goon action, right goon livelihood, right goon effort, right goon mindfulness, right goon concentration and three lefts which also make a right.

You might wonder how is that Anders claim to be both a pubbie and grognard? Such is the sound of one hand clapping. It is unknowable. It is neither. It is only Goon.

Please meditate on this, and come back to me when you insights. For then you will be on the path to Mechvana.

Can I humbly request this reviewed by the knowledgeable and visionary influence known as Anders then?

I have a feeling his insight and enlightenment of all things Mech may supersede this ignorance and as a result will aid my attempt to pursue the goal of mechvana. Unless of course he is too busy engaged with his "one hand use" inspired thoughts of course?

Excellent question, you see it all started on a rainy day in 3028...

In all seriousness though, the name is actually from one of my first battletech RPG characters. Cattra has always been my online handle since I was 7 years old and started to play WCII:Battlenet. The canon surname comes a bit later when I started getting into the battletech universe. I was stuck for a surname when creating my character and decided to go with Kell, but trying not to Gary Stu myself I thought "hey, with a universe as large as the Inner Sphere, there would have to be Kell's around that were not part of the main Kell family" kind of like how there are family's today who share last names but are not close relative (they might be but way down the line). So it was just a canon name but with little to no connection to the actual Kell family. It just sort of stuck with me and as such I have used it for battletech related things.

So to sum it up, young and stupid things that stick with you for no real good reason.

Also apologies to the goons if I overstepped boundaries here by answering the question.

Also, I may be a bit tsundere for goons...
Anders, thanks for the reply, I can finally return to my sleep pattern.

It'd be less creepy if he wasn't doing it with llama.

On the other hand, it's Animaniacs. This is legit by llama standards.

[Agincourt]

[Redacted] that is not a question to goons and therefore off-topic.
