I may be barely active on Wikipedia for a while.
This sentence's only job is to be eighty characters long and to explain its job.
Write a concise and interesting paragraph here that explains what Tim Ivorson is
about.
[edit] The section with no name
I joined Wikipedia in November 2003 and I am an inclusionist. My contributions
are multi-licensed (details). I became an administrator on 31 December 2004
(details).
I have been amused by Blackadder, Father Ted, Have I Got News For You, Monty
Python's Flying Circus, Not the Nine O'Clock News, Police Squad!, QI, Red Dwarf,
South Park, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, The X-Files, Yes Minister and The Young
Ones. I have been serially amused by Douglas Adams, Scott Adams, Dave Barry,
Rory Bremner, Matt Groening, Jeremy Hardy, Milton Jones, Paul Merton and Chris
Morris (and collaborators).
However, I prefer to listen to radio, especially BBC Radio 4 comedies The 99p
Challenge, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue and
spin-off Hamish and Dougal, The News Quiz, The Now Show and People Like Us.
I also enjoy listening to hip hop music. My favourites are the Beastie Boys, the
Beatnuts, Big L, the Dilated Peoples, EPMD, Gang Starr, Jurassic 5, The
Notorious B.I.G., NWA, Public Enemy, Rakim, The Roots, Tupac Shakur and the Wu-
Tang Clan, but I consider myself a fan of the genre rather than the performers.
I also like Tom Lehrer's recordings. It's all the same to my ears (wikified in
case readers know too little about ears to understand this webpage).
