He believes the Internet is going to catch on but that talkies are a fad.  Mr. Coughlin enjoys performing for people, preferably two or more at a time.  He was born in Alliance, Ohio-- home of Genie Electric Garage Door Openers, but raised in the suburbs of St. Louis, MO-- home of The Bowling Hall of Fame.

At age 29, Jim Coughlin attained the title assistant manager at a rather small eatery known as the George Foreman Grill.  An avid eater, he tries to fit in 21 meals a week.

With Republicans owning the electronic voting machine companies, controlling the Supreme Court, House, Senate & White House, Jim is relieved to know the next presidential election will not be tampered with by voters.  Although an avid news reader, he sometimes confuses Cheney with Rumsfeld and Goebbels with Goerring.

Mr. Coughlin is secretly jealous of people who tan.  A conservative orthodox hedonist, he is bothered by younger hedonists who seem only interested in having fun.

Never one to boast or brag, he feels that's what a trophy room is for and he recently had his expanded.  He is learning Latin and loves it, but has yet to be described as a Latin lover.  He has a fool proof plan for avoiding hangovers which involves drinking a lot of water and no alcohol.  A true iconoclast, he enjoys breaking into churches and destroying their graven images.   Someday, he'd like to write a joke so obscure, only Dennis Miller laughs.
