You can start by playing virtual scrabble with me, as I'm really quite the scrabble addict and can never find enough human beings to play against...

I will give you your tiles completely randomly, you just tell me what tiles to lay down. I will go first by playing "washing". Opponent #1, your tiles are:

I am not a medical doctor, but I have been known to play one in late-night informercials.

Not really. But I do like tacos, so that counts for something.
Trust me. I'm a Taco.

Dr. Taco MD sounds like a late-night Skinemax flick.

Sounds like a gynecologist. He and the Assman should open a joint practice.

Is your last name pronounced "dah-kar" or "dah-cur"?

I've always assumed it was dah-KAR.

Also, I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this before, but you can pry my Bach trumpet (and mouthpiece) out of my cold dead hands.

There may be people who will want to pry it from your hands! Last I checked the Bach guys were on strike or something and new Bachs were super expensive.

I'm not much of an equipment loyalist though, my nick is just a dumb vestige of the past and not terribly creative.

Huh, I didn't know that, but a quick Google search seems to confirm that the (three-year!) Conn-Selmer strike ended just a few months ago with the union being decertified. *clutches horn to chest*
Trust me. I'm a Taco.

It's pronounced "dirty rotten scoundrel."
I kid Dakar, he is one of the more nobler members of this fine society.

My Gmail address was basically this. So I took off the @gmail.com part

I got my Gmail account when my parents got an iMac G5 (ordered the first week), so that's how I came up with imitchellg5. Unoriginal, I know.

I was doing research on ancient Egyptian culture, and coincidentally was into wearing Osiris sneakers.
