So I heard about this place from various media outlets, and thought I'd come find out what it's all about and maybe make some small contributions as I have time.

I've had limited wiki editing experience, so forgive me any formatting snafus in advance, please!

So, who am I and why am I here? I believe that there's a certain realm of human behavior that can be likened to performance art, and this seems like one of those places. It reminds me most strongly of wikiality.com, except the people here actually believe what they're writing. I'm here to make sure that those of us who are amused can follow links, and that bad grammar and punctuation don't obscure the true funniness. It's too easy to take potshots at those. I also edit for facts when I see something that's just wrong, especially about language.

What's my background? Linguistic anthropologist by training (or anthropological linguist, depending on the time of day), language and information technologist by profession.

And yes, I'm a Godless Liberal Heathen. That may seem redundant, but I prefer three-letter initialisms. Three just feels good when you're a native English speaker.
