Bender.

Bender Bending Rodriguez is one of my best friends, and was my co-conspirator when we were both grad students at UofA back in 1998. Tucson wouldn't have been a fraction as fantastic as it was without this guy - we hiked, we stressed, we watched MST3K. Mostly I got him into trouble, as some of my current grad school friends might recognize is my thing. Bender's just an amazing guy; also an Infinite Degree Black Belt, so there's that too.
