I put this in GQ since I don’t know that it is him, and I’m just curious. I searched, so my apologies if this is in some other thread I couldn’t find.

Check out the main page at:  
[www.salon.com](http://www.salon.com)  
and scroll down a bit looking at the right-hand column under “Salon Personals: Catch of the Day”

Oh yeah, if it is you C K, congrats on being Salon’s “Catch of the Day”!!

No, it isn’t or at least I hope not as according to his profile in Teeeming Millions he’s been married for 30 or so years

The name comes from a film character.

There’s also someone on the Orson Scott Card forum also using that character’s name as a username. I verified that one’s not our CK.

Someone used to write movie reviews on IMdb using that name, too. (Or, it could have been the character from “The Philadelphia Story”)
