I live in an illegal apartment in a screwed-up town in New Jersey, the armpit of the US. I'm a grad student in linguistics and therefore perpetually in need of cash.

I volunteered in early 2004 to help move pictures from an old version of the CavyCages Galleries to a newer version, and was made a gallery moderator. After a while, I began participating more fully in keeping the peace around here, and was made a full moderator.

I have two guinea pigs of my own, Suzi and Jackie. Jackie is well-known for his scrotal abundance, but I am evilly plotting to have him neutered so he can finally fulfill his lifelong dream of getting with "the womens!!!" Suzi, Jackie's mother, can't stand him, but luckily my girlfriend has 5 sows, some of which may actually give Jackie the time of day.

Suzi was a pregnant pet store pig who luckily had an easy delivery of her two sons, Einstein and Jackie. Einstein was a lethal white (insert link here) who required tons of attention, care, and love, not to mention peachypellets and tooth trims. He then broke my heart (not to mention his brother Jackie's) by dying at the young age of 2 years, 7 months. Because of this, I really hate any breeding of roan/dalmatian pigs or pigs who may be hiding the roan gene. That's why I'm the lethal mod.

Because of my pigs' health issues, I have had to learn a lot about dental problems, handfeeding, eye crusties, female reproductive issues, lymphoma, bladder sludge and UTIs, and basically everything else that can go wrong with a pig. Feel free to PM me if you have a pig health question on the board that I haven't seen yet. Just remember that I'm not any kind of veterinary professional!

I can also be found on GuineaLynx and Pigloo, with the same user name.
