How interesting. Wonder if he went to college?

I can't really hold that against him.
I lived 'at home' until I was 26.

I've worked the IT/IS industry long enough to know (15 years)...college doesn't mean crap when the going really gets tough.
No, I'm NOT saying no one should go. Too many corporations still judge a resume by its 'education' portion rather than experience.
But, I've also worked with Uber certified book learned putzes who couldn't tell a switch port from a protocol port.

Those who can show both skill and degree can make it far.
Garry, in my opinion, has shown skill.
Let's see where his attitude takes him though :D

I know, I wasn't focussing so much on the 'ha-ha' aspect of it so much as the interest part of it.

It's just kinda weird how the majority of FP assumed he was some cancer-ridden middle aged man with a house and a wife and a daughter.

But he's just.. garry.

As for the other aspect, it does make sense. Book-learning is nothing without the application of it.

Bah. I never thought he was middle aged.
He's got too much of what -this- sorta-kinda almost middle aged man calls a 'young punk' attitude.
:P

Darn kid. Get off my lawn!

It's what he wanted all along. He set up countless sting operations, not to mention cunningly naming his images in his archive with names like
"The beautiful new baby girl, Kia. The wonderful kelly, my backyard, my garden, my car", etc :P
