    I don't know about troll, but perhaps just an overactive imagination :)

    Apparently he works for a
    development firm,
    studies meterology,
    works for Verizon store at a local mall,
    owns a chain of pet stores in London, and
    has a thing for CmdrTaco.

    Read together, they make amusing reading :)
