Something unique about you: Nothing unique there are millions of other assholes out there too. 

Your love of the Packers
Born into it. Literally were not allowed in the house if you weren't quite when the Packers were on. There was no rooting for the other team. First Packer game was when John Brockington parallized Ken Dyer of the Cincinnati Bengals. It was right in front of us. Gale Gillingham was his lead blocker. The final score was 20-13 Packers I remember it like it was yesterday.

Favorite movie: Animal House, Remember the Titans
Favorite TV Show: Only watch the news

You hit the nail on the head. There are a lot of the same political attitudes there too.

I'd been thing about leaving for sometime. Glad that the site shutting down finally gave me the motivation to leave.

Wow, didn't know the site was shutting down.
