Shannon

Born at the height of Buzz Aldrin's popularity, John Shannon Kimble always knew he'd grow up to be something special.  Taught only to speak in Klingon (his parents were fierce Trekkies), his teenage years were awkward and cloaked in tears.  Girls initially turned on by his ladylike facial features and muscular physique, grew tired of his refusal to communicate in the English language.  It wasn't until the summer of his 18th year, when his mother, in an act of desperation, brought him home a copy of the latest issue of "Jughead."  Using this sole issue of "Jughead" as his inspiration, his love of the English language blossomed.  Unfortunately, his crown-wearing and frequent snarky asides once again hurt him with the ladies, who were again taken by his feminine good looks, 24-inch pythons for arms (he claimed, though they were really only 22 inches) and his newfound love of the native language of the United States.  Upset by this lack of female attention, he turned to his good friend, former professional wrestling superstar Koko B. Ware, who was then reeling from the loss of his beloved macaw Frankie.  Koko suggested taking a full-time management position at a disreputable DVD video store (Suncoast to be exact), as a way to gain a firmer grasp of the English language and customs. This helped him meet his future wife (Dr. Michele), and it also inspired a move to Columbus, Ohio . A stint as Kevin Bacon in a dinner theater version of The Bacon Brothers followed before landing a job at the Laughing Ogre. He’s typically found reading G.I. Joe (Marvel), X-Men comics, Captain America, and Green Lantern.
