Gary “Invisible Wombat” Robson died in a freak bullriding accident at age 125 today. His wives and mistresses will be holding a wake at Carnegie Hall for the next 7 days with free tequila for everyone but the bagpiper\*. In his honor, the GQ forum is being renamed QTGINLATA (Questions That Gary Is No Longer Around To Answer). - There will be single-malt for the bagpiper. ---

You see, **Piper** , [this is me](http://www.localrag.net/article.php?articlenum=461) (big guy on the left holding tray of single-malt in the 2nd picture) last month at our local Rabbie Burns supper. ---
