As of Feb 22, I'm 20. One step closer to 30!I try to be Plime's resident grammar police, but I focus mainly on apostrophes - which no one seems to be able to get right!Do you like my vampiric colours on this profile page? I've tried to blend ease-to-read with darkness, taking cues from HAL 9000 and, probably subconsciously, vampires.I AM ALSO THE PROUD DEVELOPER OF THE PLIME TOOLBAR (PLIMEBAR)>>>DOWNLOAD IT HERE!!! (link broken, I'm working on it)The Step lives his life by being very public about his biggest phobia: steps.Born in the only air-raised salmon farming village in the world, TheStep's suggestion that the fish might live longer if they were given some water was met with derision, a violent beating by the town's resident stair sculptor, and a gentle catapulting from some nearby cliffs.As luck would have it, a traveling battalion of marmosets had just parked their shared Harley and were napping below the cliffs, providing a soft, if messy, landing.Rejected by the people of his homeland, and now in possession of a large amount of marmoset skins, TheStep fashioned a stylish riding outfit and took off on the Harley to find his place in the wide world.He hasn't been seen since Monday.

Spinning tops are quite fun but let's face it, they spin a bit, wobble, and then in fairly short order fall over, job done. But what if they didn't, what if they just kept spinning, mesmerically whirling round flashing out a psychedelic rainbow of light? I'm sure chappy would buy one.
