You like Mythbusters, you appreciate the scientific method, you make good zombie jokes. What's not to free associate with the Magnificent Serge?

The Magnificent Serge? I like the sound of that, but of course I won't let it get to my head.

I think it's a great moniker for you. I can see you in your spiffy time-traveler costume, handing out cards proclaiming your status as "The Magnificent Serge, Temporal Adventurer. Solving your problems before you know you have them."

Or something like that.

That does sound good. And this convinces me that, when I go to this year's worldcon, I must ask Phil Foglio, should he also be there, how much he'd charge to do a cartoon of me in my time-traveller attire.

Or something like that

Serge Lemagnifique, gentilhomme aventurier.

C'est magnifique!

Oui, oui... Now I only need to find myself a sidekick.

You're like Richard Feynman?

[serge-lj.livejournal.com]

Not even close.

Okay, then you're a string theorist?

[serge-lj.livejournal.com]

Only if you consider my making rubberbands go ptoing as if they were violin strings.

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

Ah, you're a fine man with an elastic musical talent?

[serge-lj.livejournal.com]

But of course. Mind you, my talent is limited to not going off key when I sort-of sing.
