It's difficult for an amature to verify the authenticity of out of
state identification. Even bartenders and police have trouble with
that... though the cops can at least, potentially, perform a database
query and get other bits of information that lead to a more probably
positive ID... Hmmm. What a concept. Hey, Amos Shapirah! What did
I have for lunch the day you bought lunch for us here in Portland?
Don't tell it here; ask me to tell you, so you can verify I'm really
the man in the photo in people.d.o:~karlheg/.

that we are people at the other end, not characters in a Zork
adventure. (Developer II+ invent))

Yes, I am he. The keyless one. Alone and on *bold* I clack at thee,
overwrite! overstrike! Hydraulic pizza oven!! Sliced Bread!! Guided
missile! Herring sandwich! Styrofoam! Jayne Mansfield! Aluminum

More like a boardroom blitz, I'd say.

We do! And we embrace our insanity. Often enough, it pays the
bills.

Wow. Maybe. And... Where does "stupid" rank in the unsorted
listing "dorky stupid wishlist normal grave patch security"?
