A Visit From Hobbes

[clocker]

Whilst idling away a beautiful Sunday morn, drinking coffee and attempting to conquer the NY Times crossword, I was taken aback to hear the doorbell.
"Who could that be?", I wondered aloud, " I've paid all the bills and have no friends!".

With no small amount of trepidation I went to the door and peered out the peekhole.
No one there!
Damn kids, mutter, mutter.

No sooner had I regained my former state of comfort but the bell rang again!
Back to the door, slightly POed...still no one.
I opened the door wide thinking maybe UPS had delivered a package by mistake and much to my amazement...there was Hobbes!
To say the very least I was flabbergasted, it's a long hop from Texas to Colorado and I wasn't expecting him at all.

Well a pleasant time was had by all, fortunately I had a good supply of lettuce on hand, but all too soon Hobbes indicated his need to venture forth by liberally pelleting my living room carpet.

I have no idea where he travels next, communication was a bit problematical, perhaps you all should be on the alert as he could be making a trek to visit all of his forum friends.
Should he arrive at your door- a few tips...
He prefers Romaine to Iceberg.
A nice scratch behind the ears will make him very calm and pliant.
He will poop without warning or care.

All in all, a wonderful ( and wonderfully unexpected) treat..
Bon voyage and bon chance friend!

J2 told me that you were in need of a little hare, since I had the morning free I thought I'd hop by.

Imagine my embarassment when I realized what he meant. Next time I will bring something useful.

Anyway, pooping is my way of saying "I am comfortable in your presence". The more I poop, the bigger the compliment.

Not sure my next move as I do have Martin Luther King Day off, tomorrow.

I have always been skeptical of hair enhancers, but this product was endorsed by Ron Popiel himself, so it must be good!

Did you have a safe hop home?

[J'Pol]

Was she perhaps frightened by your intensely shiny napper.

Chosing to sport what little hair you have left in such a carefree manner does nothing other than to make you look like some sort of addled Worzel Gummidge character.

JPol,

Your rather consistent pattern of gender misidentification must lead to some rather uncomfortable moments the morning after a night at the pub.

The only female you seem to have identified correctly is Scribblec.

[J'Pol]

I can honestly say that I have not been in a pub for many years.

I merely exchange the gender specific pronouns in order to highlight the false differentiation between them.

On this board you portray a certain character, my experience identifies it as female.

Well, it is refreshing that you can learn. Kudos to you for learning to avoid the place that caused you so much embarassment and your family so much pain.

I have been rather obtuse in defining my gender, I can only imagine you divined it with your female intuition.

I look forward to the time that I can begin to sport a combover with great anticipation, JP.

I'm hoping to out-Zero Mr. Mostel.

[hobbes]

To be honest, the visit really turned south when I spotted this hidden under the NY Times crossword puzzle.

As he preheated the oven to 375F, he asked me if I could stay 4-6 hours.

It could have gone either way, hobbes.
Impending baldness has made me crazy.

You may think so ma'am, I couldn't possible comment.

Yes, yes, yes....

But what about the comb-over?

Just for reference, you understand.

[clocker]

What about it, j2?

(Just between you and me, I am dangerously close to needing one, perhaps by the time I am your age.)

I see you have been cheated out of your excellent avatar, and have also lost the photos of yourself and Hobbes.

I think that is why I can&#39;t be fussed to provide pictures; I couldn&#39;t stand the disappointment of losing them. :(

Your new av is an accurate technical representation of a comb-over, with attendent hair-gel content (for demonstration purposes only, I&#39;m sure). ;)

Hey Clocker, have you lost weight? I know you&#39;ve been working out, right? There is something different about your appearance, I just can&#39;t put my finger on it. You just carry yourself with such confidence now, except when the wind picks up.

Having hair is totally overrated, j2.

I have noticed that as my hair disappears my top speed has increased.
Better aerodynamics, I assume.

Really?

Hope my legs heal up quick then.

I wanna try it out.

I haven&#39;t done speed in years. :P

[clocker]

You&#39;ll notice that, as an American, I was more interested in my increased speed.

Were I greener (read: culturally superior European), I would have noted that my fuel economy had improved.

Such are our differences.

I thought you meant insofar as it applied to self-propulsion (running, cycling, rowing, etc.).

Of course, on that basis, better fuel economy might well be assumed: If, prior to hair loss, one Big Mac will fuel a burst of, say 15 MPH, and post hair-loss, a Big Mac netted 17 MPH, a net gain in fuel economy has also occurred.

If you were a "culturally superior European", I would assume that, instead of Big Macs, we&#39;d be basing our calculations on the intake of, say, snails, or possibly eggplant, fish and chips, or some such. ;)
