They tend to have a few things in common, girly cartoon avatars, exaggerated personalities, quirky typing styles, female first name as username and carefully avoiding being in any pictures are the most common.  Obsessive compulsive levels of knowledge about the subject matter and claims to be a lipstick lesbian are also common, but Jennifer doesn't seem to exhibit those.

Anyway, I did not mean for this to devolve into some sort of insult, Jennifer thread. I just had to ask, and really, I don't care.

I had to laugh that a dude named Paige is outing a guy pretending to be a girl.  Nothing personal either way, it just made me giggle.  :)

Yenome:
true it may be staged but just like most shows you can still do it. like storage wars. i worked for a guy who owned a shop and did exactly as they did years before that show. have also been with people who have seen a car sitting outside someone house and asked bout it, then bought it. tho most time it just some beat up car sitting in the yard still the concept is sound.

Jack Burton:
It's crazy if you're not finding anything on craigslist.  Here (ky), I can find a machine any hour of the day for around $150 or less.  There's several on the Lexington craigslist right now , including a TRON!

BTW: if you're anywhere near 42539 I'll give you a Super Chase HQ or Rampage cabinet.

Right, my name actually is Paige and I get asked about it on the internet all the time. Paige was a very rare unisex name back in the 1977 when I was born (however even then, like "Kelly" or "Tracy" it was about 90 percent female). It has surged incredibly in popularity as a female name since I was born and the male usage seems to have vanished altogether. Every other man named Paige I ever met or heard of was over 60.

I get it... and it's a perfectly acceptable name.  Not as common as Kelly or Tracy, but not a thing wrong with it.  Just in context of the thread, it stuck out as ironic, that's all.  Hope we're cool.
