About the Author
My name is Shaun Reader and I am a strapping young lad from the North Idahoan town of Sandpoint. I am now living in Arizona where I enjoy 80 degree winter days, and am attending Arizona State University. My hobbies include waterskiing, cliff-diving, basket weaving, and treading water for days at a time. I enjoy dancing barefoot on the Atlantic Coast by moonlight to the toon of "Come on Baby, Light My Fire" wearing an unbuttoned Hawiian shirt, and beige Docker shorts. My turn-ons are banana cream pie, women in corduroy evening wear, and bullfights. I am a Don Juan on dates, a pit-bull in fights, a poindexter in school, an Arnold in the weightroom, and a John Travolta on the dancefloor. I've been seen playing my rendition of Beethoven's third symphony on a harpsichord, and juggling bowling balls with my legs. I don't know everything, but I do know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I don't cry at weddings. I know every Beatle's song by heart, and was the Limbo Champion in 1996. Children trust me. I know my grandma's middle name and where to find the Big Dipper during different times of the year. If you ask me, I'll tell you, and if I see you, I'll say "hi". I eat my vegetables and never complain. I toast bread perfectly, and never overcook the turkey. When I was in second grade, I read Moby Dick, but now that I'm in college, I read Dr. Seus. Enjoy my article, and enjoy life. Remember: "You're only young once, but you can be immature forever." (unknown).
