YED for short. Named for the fallen angel, Azazal a.k.a. Azazyal (2nd Fall - detailed in the Book of Enoch), who has since become the super-villain on the first two seasons of Supernatural.
I was hoping to supply Wiki with a LOT of articles on cult films and authors not known to the great unwashed, but am beginning to suspect that TPTB here are in desperate need of soap. Perhaps they're still capable of enlightenment.
I'm a fan of (and, I like to think, something of an authority on): old movies (1890s - ca. 1967), popular music (particularly 1895-1964), pre-20th century poetry, literature, demonology, philosophy, psychology, History (esp. American and Ancient Greece) and comparative religion.
I'm also big on 50s cars, antique weapons, rats, bourbon, absinthe, and Indian food (vegetarian).
