Hejas all,
New snuser here, I've posted in a couple threads already, but thought I'd make something a bit more "official" introducing myself. There seems to be a lot of threads covering "what comedians do you like?, where you from?, what do you do for a living?, etc... so I'll try and grab all those in one fell stroke., Name's eli, and I live in Portland oregon, I'm currently using the Camel snus product and anxiously awaiting my first shipment of "the real deal", currently I'm on my 7th day without cigarettes with no intention of looking back.
I work in High tech as a software qa engineer and lab admin/sysadmin/whatever-you-wanna-call-it-admin for windows and *nix systems. Before this I was in the US military, spending most of my time in Europe (one of my best friend's girlfriends was Swedish and I never heard of snus till camel started marketing them here!). The military is where I got hooked on Nicotine and smoked/chewed. After leaving the military I left the chew behind (hated the spitting all the time) and pretty much smoked exclusively for the past decade or so. I'm trying to quit smoking for my daughter's sake as well as my own (I have a 2-year old who's the ligh o' my life). I'm also incredibly hooked on Nicotine (I think I've tried to quit cigarettes over a dozen times in the last ten years and this snus trip has been the longest I've gone without one).
When not working or dealing with all the fun family things I enjoy playing boardgames and wargames with my friends, snusing has been great for this activity as now there's no reason to stop playing for a cigarette break!). I also watch a heap of movies, putter around in the kitchen, and drink a little more beer than is healthy for me... living in the pacific northwest means learning to appreciate good beer, my current favorites in that arena are Stone IPA and Arrogant Bastard (from Stone brewing), Mirror Pond Pale Ale and Cinder Cone Red Ale (Deschutes Brewing).
As for Comedians, my current favorites are Joe LaJoie, Dane Cook, Jim Gaffigan, Geroge Carlin, Bill Hicks and Jon Pinette.
I'm anxioulsy awaiting the new 'round o' comic book-based movies (Hellboy II, Iron Man, the new Hulk film with Ed Norton, etc..), but my tastes in movies is all over the board... Apocalypse Now and The Princess Bride are two of my all-time favorite movies.
Musically I'm all over the board, although I tend toward the humorous regardles of the particular genre. I do like juxtaposition cover tunes a lot, like Punk Covers of 80's songs, Country Covers of gangster rap, etc....
Hope to be a more active participant here as my snus experience broadens. Happy to find this great forum!
