> [@Sampiro](#): > > “Besides, when you know the name of who you’re eating it makes for nice stories for that dinner’s conversation.” I wonder if that cannibal from Germany who ate a Doper’s former co-worker had the same thought. **Sampiro** , can I call you the next Lewis Grizzard? Or would that be an insult? (I do miss that man.) ---

> [@ivylass](#): > > **Sampiro** , can I call you the next Lewis Grizzard? Or would that be an insult? (I do miss that man.) Calling **Sampiro** the next Lewis Grizzard would be an honor. Calling him the next Jeff Foxworthy, however, would be like giving him permission to bitch slap you into the next county. 😃 ---

…damn, Sampiro, I’m in awe. Genuinely. > [@](#): > > I can calm down crazy people (including but not just my mother) with my presence and my voice. I have no degrees or training in psychology outside of college intro courses, but when I worked in mental hospitals/agencies for three years even professionals would call me to come talk to a person who was in mid-episode. It’s nowhere near as magical as Parseltongue; it’s largely a matter of presence, nonthreatening body language, carefully selected tone and pitch of voice, and appearance. You probably developed the trick before you hit puberty, the way you describe your mother. People who work psychiatric for many years often stumble across the knack, because it’s so durn handy. > [@](#): > > I’ve wondered long and hard about how to publish anything autobiographical while my mother is alive because she wouldn’t come off terribly well in any of it And now you know why I use a pseudonym. Redneck whales. Bag of squirrels. “Is he day-yud?” Ghod _dayum_. Now I’m glad I let my subscription lapse. Waiting for you to finish that thing would have driven me completely fruity-gumballs… ---

[QUOTE=Leviosaurus] Mods, please don’t lock the thread. **Wang-Ka** is just paying his respects. I remain hopeful that there will be further updates to the thread from Sampiro 🆒 [/QUOTE] I get that it was a most respectful, appreciate bump but the thread is still months old, not to mention really long. I hope things are going well for **Sampiro** and his family but if he wants to update the board, then he should have the chance to start a clean, new thread. This one will still be linkable. Closed.
