Appreciate your kind RHP invitation, leisurelysloth, but have gradually come to enjoy being a cozy, part-time partner with Bobby in this 'mixed

blessing window' of his otherwise vigorous and fulfilled life. For what it may or may not be worth, the hiatus until 2009 suggestion was mine.

You seem to share Bobby's curious self-deprecating penchant for eliminating personal pronouns, particularly the first person singular. Is it a private code?

All about time and place and sense of ocassion, Andy. First person 'sing' vernacular has always been reserved for pillow code conversation

stuff with us. Perhaps someday, once you and I get to know each other a little better, I'll confide my intimate nickname for him. Maybe not.

Now, Andy, you really already know the answer to your own question... intermittently yes, even as much as I sometimes do, but with and by

different means. Save my own voice for the tower, other aircraft in our periphery, our passengers and the captain. Bobby's a good listener

but does now and then shoot his mouth off, if and whenever he becomes animated, on the phone or playing ping pong by the pool or at

sporting events and on the general forum. By the way, though I'm also an English Major, I do continue to learn from you and Nordlys

and even from GB (even though he's usually less predictable than he is bottomless, peculiar at times and layered with idiosyncrasies).

One thing I have assimilated is the fact that nouns (and sometimes pronouns) are quite incredible. Transitive or intransitive, verbs at best

are helpers, working in harness with the connectives. Earlier in the Koine Greek the omission of verbs, by design, was emphatic. Paul wrote,

"For me living Christ... dying profit." Today, we say, "May Day. May Day!" or "God!" or "$hit" or "$ob", etc,.. not a verb in the whole carload.

Personalizing our spoken sentiments, we sometimes instinctively just let it go with two words, a syllable each, "I You". Works, Saves energy.

Quite.

This thread, for some reason, is quite spooky.

Multiple personalities are so overrated.

Say, Doc, any chance it might possibly be the constant intake of rarified air at 35,000 feet?

Agree, Mr. Huck... similar to a mindless profusion of avatars.

I think it's because GP isn't suffering from multiple personality disorder, as I first thought, but rather from one-personality-with-multiple-names disorder.

That is GB's issue and challenge, Nordlys. As I'm sure you are easily able to understand, what I have for him is unconditional. Granted he's overly

complex at times. Sometimes I love him because of who and what he is and at other times inspite of himself. Guy just seems to stay in my mind.

Yes, RHP Members, I'm investing my final (December 31, 2008, New Year's Eve) thread chip from GB to say that I really don't give a good

fig about all the silly club withdrawal/clan insularity driven general forum dysfunction. Invitation: Let's just chat about things you care about.
