High School Reunion

Who really wants to go to a high school reunion? I wasn't overly enamored of those people in 1982, and I sure as heck don't worry about them in 2007. My indifference to their existence today is much as it was then. I'm guessing that most of the kids from then are now living mundane and boring lives. How many divorces have those poor folks experienced? I really don't care to find out. They can all just go on growing old, fat and bald, as far as I'm concerned. Attending a reunion of those people? I think I'd rather watch paint dry.

Why Jumpmaster K?

When I first started actively posting on bulletin boards on the internet, I needed to have a good and descriptive user name. Around the same time, I'd been watching "Married With Children" when Bud wanted to be the evil rapper "Grandmaster B". Even as Bud was trying to achieve a name of fame, Kelly and others often mangled "Grandmaster B":

Abdomenizer B (Bud, 0723)
Bass Master B (Al, 0604)
Bellringer B (Kelly, 0607)
Buckminister B (Al, 0603)
Burgermeister B(Peggy, 0603)
Bushwacker B (Kelly, 0603)
Butt-wagger B (Kelly, 0616)
Court Jester B (Peggy, 0603)
Dustbuster B (Jill, 0603)
Gas-passer B (Al, 0604)
Ghostbuster B (Kelly, 0603)
Grand Bastard B (Kelly, 0614)
Grand Flasher B (Jill, 0603)
Grand Marshall B (Peggy, 0603)
Grandmaster One (Bud, 0614)
Grasshopper B (Al, 0604)
Grinchmaster B (TV Host, 0619)
Mixmaster B (Jill, 0603)

So anyway, I thought it would neat to mirror that. Being a Jumpmaster, and named Kurt, it just seemed natural: Jumpmaster K.

And now you know.

End of an Era

My old personal webpage at expage.com will be gone in March when expage shuts down. Therefore, I chose to come here and blog in order to preserve the old information, some as old as going back to 1997.
