Do you mean where did he get the gif, or who is the character? I believe the character is Usagi Yojimbo.

Good guess, man. Well, there you have it. I always said that if someone guessed it, I would say what my username meant.
hahaha I don't know... everytime I saw yr username it made me think of "Milhouse loves Lisa!"

I thought it was Lisa Simpson, too. My second guess was Lisa from The Room.

What do you all do for work/career/jobs?
I highly doubt anyone cares, but I just got a job at WalGreens as a Photo-Tech. The day there's no more disposable cameras and the kiosks take over, I'm fucked.

The first time I saw his username, I thought that he had a girlfriend named Lisa that he loved.

Regarding someone else's question for work, I do software development with c++/java/makefiles/ant/perl etc. I have an EE background.

This question is for Sevin,

Out of all of the World Warriors, why Ryu?
And what are some of your other favorite fighting games? Any SNK?
to be honest, Ryu wasn't my first favorite character in the street fighter series. when i first played SF2 for the snes Blanka was my first favorite character. also in my opinion i am better with Ken than Ryu. i chose Ryu as my avatar because i love his character and stage in SF2. We also almost have the same skintone and hair (that helps). HADOKEN! :P

other favorite fighting game? Dragon Ball Z Super Butouden Series, Fatal Fury Series, Art of Fighting Series, Capcom vs SNK series, King of Fighters Series, Samurai Showdown Series, and Mortal Kombat Series.

What do you all do for work/career/jobs?
I am a graduate student working on a PhD in clinical psychology. I specialize in treating people with severe pschological disorders who are highly suicidal. This is also my major area of interest for research, though I also study behavioral methods of physical pain tolerance as well. I also volunteer at the hospital to help with neuropsych testing of people before they go in for major brain surgery. My main source of income though is from being the teacher or teaching assistant in a course on research methodology for undergraduates.
My contributions to the Racketboy site:
Browser Games ... Free PC Games ... Mixtapes ... Doujin Games ... SotC Poetry

me too. I gather that's the "wrong" way to say it... but I can't really shake it.
