D’uh, yes, that’s my “real name.”

I saw this title somewhere and I’d think it would be cute (although grossly incorrect).

_Okay, What Did I Miss While I Was Gone?_

That’s been my dream title since the eighth grade. I miss a lot of obvious and/or important things, you see - punchlines, Star Trek, this year’s yearbook photo shoot, and so on.

Oh? What the biography WILL be titled, not what I WANT it to be titled? Then…

_Ranchoth: He still owed me a little money, but he was a nice guy, so I let it slide_

“Turn Down the Radio, We’re At An Intersection”

Possible the wisest, and most assinine, thing I’ve ever uttered. This bit of wisdom has spread so far and wide among my friends, and my friiends’ friends, that Iwas once introduced to someone who went to graduate school with a friend’s room mate and they said, “Hey, aren’t you the guy who told Lilly to turn down the radio because you were at an intersection? What in the hell was all that about?” My wisdom had proceeded me.
