User:Mer764Wiki/Extended Bio

This is mostly used as a list of stuff from the main-semi bio I chose to port over here. See there for some stuff, I guess. But anyway, Welcome to the internet and Wikipedia. So...This page is basically inspired by Nathan Obral A.K.A. Rusky Muck. So, I'm mostly here to lurk at articles and stuff.

The Midwest:

I'm from the Breadbasket of the United States, which is the Midwest, more specifically the Metropolitan area of Kansas City, Missouri–Kansas City, Kansas (It's the one with the 3 phone numbers on the 2 states its located in, Area Codes 816 and 975 in Missouri and Area Code 913 in Kansas.) I'm not really a fan of the sports in Kansas City but I do check up on them time-to-time. Like the Kansas City Royals and the Kansas City Chiefs. I actually go to school here as well, just closer to the Missouri River. (Here's a fact, the school I go to is the most diverse high school in the entire state of Missouri.) Check the KC Metropolitan area out! ...If you want to at least. Speaking of Kansas City, Missouri, it's the City of Fountains and has its very own style of Barbecue.

Also, I absolutely despise the weather in Kansas City sometimes. Like, it feels like it's a nice day but then 1 hour later, it's pouring cats and dogs over KC then it stops without any reasoning. That and the risk of Tornados, like I know I'm in Tornado Alley, but I can't handle it.

Basically, everything else

Kansas City:

The Kansas City Metropolitan area is located in the Central Time Zone, so WDAF-TV (Fox 4 Kansas City) has their prime time newscast at 9pm (not at 10pm) but they do extend that newscast to an full-hour at 10pm (WDAF is one of a few Fox affiliates in Central/Mountain Time that their late news does extends to 2 full hours ending with the 10pm newscast.) Another thing about Kansas City's Television stations is that KCTV (No, not the former KCTV in San Angelo, Texas, now known as KLST) is often branded as KCTV5, (especially now with the internet, so search engines like Google confuse it with the Korean Central Television, the North Korean television service.)^[a] Also, KCTV transmits from the KCTV Broadcast Tower in East 31 Street near the studios of KCPT and KTBG since 1956. Here's a fun fact! The studios of KCPT and KTBG (90.9 The Bridge) in East 31st in Kansas City, Missouri was the former studios of the then KCMO-TV until it and their former radio sister stations KCMO (810 (AM), (KCMO-AM moved to 710 (AM) in 1998 under a swap with WHB) and KCMO-FM (94.9 FM) moved to Fairway, Kansas in 1972, a decade before the television station changed their call sign after the radio stations were sold off. (KCPT moved to the studios in 1979 and KTBG moved there in 2014 after the station got aquired by KCPT's owner, Public Television 19, Incorporated from its former owners, The University of Central Missouri of Warrensburg, Missouri.) Also, speaking of Television stations in KC, here's an infobox of ... Nearby Television stations. (If it's bolded, then it's owned and operated. But if it's italicized, it's simulcasted on another channel.)

Non-Kansas City Things

I'm kinda of a book nerd. Yea, I know it's weird but... Don't blame me.

Also, I'm a furry, I got introduced with the fandom by one of my classmates at school, and after being kinda hooked to the community, well, here we are.

Note 'bout Wikipedia

Now, just remember that Wikipedia is considered a work of progress and won't be finished in our lifetime because as stuff happens, Wikipedia will have to cover it and we're literally are only getting started with the articles. (Refer to WP:DEADLINE.) Stay tuned, this place (and world) might/will get even crazier. As well, I quote the Late Vami VI, "Our goal is the Destruction of our purpose".^[b]

Notes&References:

^ It's like how Tegna's WXIA-TV in Atlanta, Georgia, a NBC affiliate is branded as 11Alive since the 1970s back when it was an ABC affiliate under the ownership of the Combined Communications Corporation of Phoenix, Arizona (besides an short break in the mid-1990s which was controversial in Atlanta that the Gannett Company itself reversed the change gradually) (Same thing with KOCO-TV in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.) or like how Griffin Media's Tusla, Oklahoma's CBS affiliate KOTV-DT's news operation since the late 1980s or the early 1990s is branded as The News on 6, (Now, this can have some unexpected consequences. For example, in 2007, the 9pm newscast on KQCW-DT starts like this: This is The News on 6 at 9 on (The) CW 12(/19). (The context about that was when the then-KWBT which was aquired by KOTV's owner, Griffin Communications in 2005, gained the affiliation with The CW and changed its callsign to KQCW a year later, the on-air name was The CW 12 until 2007.)
^ Basically, the goal of Wikipedia will also be its destruction (I think). R.I.P. Vami VI, that person will be missed.
