Dan Werr

From Wiki Gonzalez

Dan Werr is (in the opinion of this author) the most talented writer who has ever been affiliated with BTF. However, he's really, really young. Like really young. Younger than you can possibly imagine. And he also has trouble finding a job. Or a girlfriend, other than his imaginary girlfriend Rowing Girl. Although, he's currently dating SMK, who seems like a nice girl, so no snark will be added here. Well, maybe a little snark about the face.

Dan's specialty is fiction, a handicap for anyone writing for a nonfiction baseball site. However, he also specializes in Geography of Baseball trivia questions, as well as nifty colorful maps, which have even made Yahoo! (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=jp-blackouts061906&prov=yhoo&type=lgns).

Dan frequently muses about the real-life activities of other Primates and then posts his musings, which are frequently hilaripus. Here is his story about Shredder and his collection of really disturbing porn. In December 7, 2004's Primer Lounge (http://www.baseballthinkfactory.org/files/primer/discussion/24817/P500/) he treated everyone to a reminiscensce of his women's studies class and mused aloud about the Freshenmeyer clan. Hilarity ensued. Among his other claims to fame, he is believed to be the first person to ever acknowledge Shredder in a thread (in the Transaction Oracle).

His versatility and eagerness to please others can be demonstrated with this internal rhyme filled song called The Accountant of Bittersweet Love, which he wrote at rLr's request. rLr, a bastion of social grace if e'er there were one, was profoundly grateful. More recently he has assisted Ironchef Chris Wok in penning a romantic love letter declaring Wok's profoundly deep sentiment for Wedding Girl. Unfortunately, Wok is hardly the bastion of social grace that rLr is and is still ungrateful towards Dan's efforts.

Though he now lives in Kennewick, Washington, he used to live in Spokane, Washington. Don't ever ask him about that unless you have a spare hour or two on your hands. If you do have time to kill, ask about the Fergus Judith Basin, or the Valley Couplet, and learn to rage over Sprague and Appleway. He has freely expressed his distaste for Seattle and its big city traffic and lifestyle, and would rather not move there to find a job if he doesn't have to.

He also makes grain storage bins, and can become quite offended in discussions about U2. He is also quite likely the site's most prominent Billy Joel fan. For the record, Dan has some thoughts.

His life is full of hate.
