Who is this guy?
- Jason Fisher
- Bellevue, WA, United States
- I'm an avid writer, both professionally and privately, husband to Jennifer (the most wonderful and patient woman in the world), and dad to two terrific dogs, Max and Leo (only coincidentally named after the two main characters of Mel Brooks's The Producers). They’ve both passed on now, and our new pup is a beautiful beagle named Ruth. I live in Bellevue, Washington, near Lake Sammamish. I think I'm an interesting guy. What do you think? Drop me a line to let me know: visualweasel [at] yahoo.com.

ReplyDeleteCroc is dressed as Gollum and tried to eat Zebra. Croc is always trying (unsuccessfully) to eat Zebra. Hence, the Gollum costume going after his precious....
