Masquerading as a mild-mannered office drone during the day, Chris Carlisle is actually an aspiring humor columnist. Along with his super awesome contributions here at Scrivel, Chris self-syndicates a weekly(ish) online humor column called The Dimmer Switch which is enjoyed by tens of people... less than half of which are related to him. Chris' writing has appeared in various locations both online and in print, but lately he can mostly be found tinkering with his personal website (chriscarlisle.net ).
When not online, Chris can be found at his home in southwest Ohio where he lives with his wife, two daughters, two dogs, two cats, a pony, and an assortment of small disposable pets whose numbers vary from week to week.
As a seasoned interweb celebrity, Chris's diet consists mostly of a steady supply of energy drinks and Cool Ranch Doritos. Because of this, Chris must supplement his diet with a steady source of positive feedback in order to survive. You can contribute to Chris's continued existence by either leaving a comment or by sending him an email at me@chriscarlisle.net .

My daughter recently acquired a Native American Bead Loom (made in Taiwan, which apparently was where the Cherokee settled after walking the Trail of Tears) with the noble intent of making friendship bracelets. For those of you who are unfamiliar with them, Friendship Bracelets are basically the Native American equivalent of a Myspace Friend Request.
