I have this echoey-ass case going on where almost everyone either has the same first name or I have a personal connection to them. I was in a team meeting for them and there were 2 Babbettes and a Bobbette as well as a sprinkling of Tammies and Tanyas; one team member is somebody I used to work with; one of the supports we're planning to bring in went to high school with one of the Babbettes; and another active support to the family, whose name is thankfully neither Babbette nor Bobbette, is someone whose junk mail I still receive because she used to live in the place where I live now. When the owner brought me in to see the place for the first time, he was renting it to her and I petted her cat. I also had to clean handfuls of her long red hair out of a drawer in one of the bathrooms after moving in.
Oh, and Bobbette grew up right where I did, on the East side of Detroit, a couple of years behind me, and the school she attended is right down the road from my old house, a block or two from the school I attended.
It's confusing, is all I'm saying. What year is this? Where do I live again? Which Babette are you?

Here is the only place I am connected to him. So whenever he last posted.
Edit: he last posted here Dec 16, 2019 at 7:59am.

And at BMMB it says he was last active there 12/2010, which seems unlikely.

Aren't you friends in the real world?

Aren't you friends in the real world? Sort of off and on. We only ever saw each other at the Bad Movie Oscars and they are no longer doing those in Ann Arbor.

I looked him up on Facebook and he was posting there a few weeks ago.

Well that's good news! I'm just glad he's alive. He was having some pretty major health scares when last we heard from him. I hope he is okay and just too busy with this batshit year to visit us here in the cubbyhole that is ZAQB.

Same same. Hope he's doing OK.

Yeah, I'd been wondering about him myself. Glad to hear he's been spotted.

Given that the only one of y'all that I *KNOW* I've met in person is Marxo Grouch, it's really kind of nice this community is so accepting of an old fat-tailed lizard.
Now, I *think* I might still recognize Mr. Grouch, provided he hasn't gotten a haircut in all these years. Possibly. Though I have no idea when I'm ever gonna be back on the East Coast.
Seriously, fuck COVID. And fuck Trump for not doing shit about it.

I've been fully shorn since at least 2006.

I'd forgotten this detail. Apologies for any inadvertent offense caused.
I admit though, Brother Marxo, my mental picture of you is strongly biased towards remembering you with your mop of hair and in your army fatigue jacket...those were positive times in my otherwise undistinguished late teens and early 20's.
I suppose a talking lizard outside of his desert is at risk of being mistaken for a car-insurance commercial... Even so, I hope we'll eventually meet again offline. Unknown if it would be in New York.

But mental image is of you, college age, wearing a green army surplus jacket. Strange... Deeky 's question aside. I don't recall you owning any leather man gear...

Now I really want to know what a fisting vest is. Me too. But back to my fishing vest... Many years back, I don't even remember how, I got into the habit of often wearing some sort of vest, often an outdoorsman vest, instead of a jacket when I go out, when weather allows. It's more about the utility than anything. I like having a lot of pockets. As to our reptilian friend's enigma: No specifically military coats that I can remember. My best guess, and it's a wild shot but a plausible one, is that you maybe remember my paratrooper boots (the one military item I've ever worn) and have inflated them to a more expansive outfit over time. This would completely fit with things I've recently discovered I thought I remembered well and turned out not to. Come to think of it, I also had a pair of olive drab pants that I used to wear around that time, and they looked good with the boots, so I often wore them together, so that may have contributed as well.

Never mind the 2020 presidential election. This is the most upsetting thing to come out of this day for me: pin.it/4pZX5pPPiffles... don't look.
