Yes, in my bio I said “I like bad movies.” What I thought about putting was suggested by my wife, which is “You can quote lines from all kinds of bad movies.” She’s thinking of the kind of movies TBS runs on Saturday afternoon, about tarantulas that eat cities or aliens that win elections or whatever. Also Airplane. Dawn of the Dead. Star Wars. Monty Python. Etc.

I was afraid if I said, in my bio, that I could actually “quote” movies, then I’d be constantly bugged by people to actually do that. And then I’d get performance anxiety and constantly need to reach for my, er, reinforcement. Not good.

So I said what I did, (we were only allowed one sentence) and this bio just happens to be at work. We just moved offices and are in a combined space with another department, this is the ice-breaker. And yes somebody came by and said the whole office was wondering if I liked porn flicks.

I do, of course, but that isn’t something I’d put in my office bio. I’m more of a nerd than a pervert. Maybe I’m a nervert.
