Hello, I'm Warren Demontague. Which is not my real name.

I am often confused with other warrens on this site, but the thing to remember is that if warren says something you dont like, it was the other warren, not this one.

I finally succumbed to Apple and got an ipad, and it immediately removed my ability to post using capital letters properly. Small price to pay for the technological coolness of being able to surf the internet while going to the bathroom. But i digress.

"Greg the Bunny" fans will know that i took my name from, well, the show greg the bunny, and one mr. Warren DeMontague aka professor ape, on that show. I am not, in actuality, a monkey puppet who likes to drink, swear, and wears a wrestling helmet.

And yes, I've seen the mtv spin-off. To be honest, i might not have taken this handle had i seen it fir... But, ah, let's not dwell in the past.

Speaking of the past, Ive been on this site since 2004, and it is a wonderful resource for news, opinion, humor and a whole lot of whatnot. There are some very good people here... Smart, funny, well-informed. Obviously, everyone doesn't agree all the time, and it can seem intimidating for newcomers. But don't be shy! It's not as scary as it looks. Except maybe the lounge. Could never really get a handle on the lounge. But you might! Welcome!

I thought it came from one of the classic novels like "The Count of Monte Cristo", along those lines. The name just seemed to fit that era.

And that you were some member of the aristocratic Hapsburg family or something.
Damn reality is a bitch.

I thought it was your real name. I expected reality to be that you spoke with a French accent and smoked a pipe. But you got your name from a show.

I also look exactly like Tom Waits. well, not.

I didn't know, when I randomly picked an album name, that everyone would assume I'm a male b/c it's a dog not a cat.
