Do you recognize my username, or actually remember something I posted? Have I said anything particularly bright, or stupid? Am I really communicating, or verbally masturbating? I have a feeling I may regret this thread… but WTF. ---

Yours is a username I recognize, but I doubt I could quote anything specific you said or even name a memorable thread you’ve posted in. Sorry, but FWIW, that’s how I am about almost all the “regulars” here: names are familiar but details escape me. ---

I’d recognize you in a bar. Off hand I can think of several threads that you’ve started or contributed to. I’ve never confused you with **yojimbo**. And I know that **Gundy** can make you blush. Heck, I even know what kind of chair you post from. Does that creep you out just a little? I know it creeps me out vaguely, to know that much about a relative stranger. ---

Yeah **yojimboguy** , I recognize you as a GQ contributor. Don’t sweat it - most of us who don’t parade aggressively in MPSIMS can post away for years without mention. Keep it up, pal - you’re OK (but I’ve got a cooler chair 😉 ) ---

For a while I thought you had switched your name to **yojimbo** or maybe vice versa… I mean, what are the odds? I like reading your posts. You are a smart guy. Not just knowledgeable, but you have a good sense of logic and enough insight to post some really interesting stuff. You remind me alot of my dad, which is probably why I remember your username so well. ---

yojimboguy… You look vaguely familiar for a newbie, perhaps I passed you while I was shopping in Home Depot? I thought you weren’t going to agonize over this issue again but perhaps all the pot you’ve smoked really has had some negative effect. I’m thinking that if you had a GPS and a PDA you would always know where you were and have a handy utility to remember things you’ve posted. I know I could use one. I know what it’s like to feel unappreciated. You would think that people would just send us large amounts of money in appreciation for our sharp wits and folksy wisdom. Most often it would seem that many a wonderful comment is passed over without being noticed. I think I could say the most outrageous thing and very few would pay any attention at all. 🙂 Feynn ---

Oh my goodness. This is the first time I have noticed that **yojimbo** and **yojimboguy** are two different people. So very sorry. But I think it is now incumbent upon you (both?) to differentiate yourselves. Is one of you old, fat and bald, while the other is a blonde bombshell? Does one of you live in, say, Shanghai, while the other lives in Hickville, U.S.A.? You voted for Ralph Nader and he listens to Rush Limbaugh? Set me straight. ---

Are you feeling insignificant in the big scheme of things? Do your friends and acquaintances fail to acknowledge your presence? Do they even know your name? Do you sometimes feel like you are talking to a brick wall? Yojimboguy knows JUST how you’re feeling (whoever the hell HE is) 😃 ---

Good GOD. I was two seconds away from doing an identical thread to this last night. I’d even typed out an OP before I decided against it and hit back. I’d phrased it slightly differently but it’s purpose was exactly the same as this thread. Albiet about me, not you. Shit, this is spooky. Yes, I know you, I even vaguely remember what you look like thanks to that picture of you and Gundy you posted a while back. ---

Not really. Name is familiar, but I could be conflating a la **masonite**. But I wonder how many folk I really do have a clear image of. Maybe 20? 50? And I doubt too many more have a clear image of me. ---

How could I forget Yojimboguy? The hot summer nights in Sri Lanka. The bags of Handy Wipes. Hours spent idly paddling the donkey. Uh, seriously. Yes, I recognize the name, the same as I do almost all of the names in this thread (sorry, mudcrutch!). You are no longer a newbie… ---
