I would like to meet Bob, a consistent commenter on this website and on our cooking site, upon which we have not been diligently working. I've been deleting his comments because ... well, I think that he is advertising products and services, which is not the purpose of the website.
It seems that Bob has varied interests. I know that he is into poker, particularly something cxalled "texas hold 'em." I haven't watched any poker championships, but I think that's what they play; and I wonder if Bob is one of the participants.
More recently, Bob is touting the fact that he runs a "home based business." I would be more impressed if Bob had hyphenated "home based," as hyphenation is grammatically proper; so, I can conclude that Bob is not anal-retentive about his grammar and usage.
From a couple other recent comments, I assume Bob is in the lending business because he has urged me to "Consolidate debt."
Bob has also championed the advantages of taking Cialis, Viagra, Fiorcet, Vioxx, Oxycontin, Fentanil, and Tramadol.
I would like to contact Bob, but with every comment, he leaves a bogus e-mail address. My guess about him is that he values his privacy and does not wanted uninvited intrusions upon his personal life.
I've been acquainted with people like Bob, not that I count any of them as friends, mind you, or as business associates.
Secretive. Home-based "business." Gambling. Drugs. Loan-sharking.
Now that I have read this over, I really don't want to meet Bob. I don't want anything to do with Bob.

Hmmm. I think Bob might be my brother.

Posted by: TW at October 16, 2004 07:23 PMWow! Bob has a brother named George. I don't have a blog, so George emails me personally many times a day. He is very concerned about my health and has many medications for any ills I may have. Some of the meds are not quite what I need, seeing as how I am missing certain male body parts. George is also afraid that I am bored, so he sends along various websites for me to view. Sadly, the website names are usually misspelled, and that drives me crazy, so I don't go to them.
I picture Bob and George in filthy clothes, sweaty and unwashed, hunched over computers in a basement in Nevada somewhere.
