[quote:Wolf 1776:MV80MzQxODE2Xzc5MDQ2NzU1XzM2NTYzNjFD] Back in my early days on GLP, I engaged in occasional role-playing fun with different monikers. Years ago this was a much more common practice on the site than it is today. Those who've been here a long time might recognize one or two of my old sobriquets. But, most of those lengthy threads drifted eventually into the digital waste bin. In 2014, I created this current moniker ... which is me with an element of anonymity. About a year later, a well-known member contacted me revealing that he had discerned my prior monikers from my diction, humor, and writing style. We became friends. He had also uncovered a little about me in the real world. I was rattled. But, he vowed to honor my confidentiality. He has since passed away from cancer. I still miss his humor and his focus. NODOOM would be obliged to put our current events in his Hall of Success. Recently, I embarked on an old role-playing exercise ... to test my creativity. [b]It was on a thread asking how we got to GLP[/b]. For your entertainment in these Days of Despair, allow me to present it here... [/quote]

An unexpected consequence of being confined under stay-at-home mandates is that we do a lot more of something we don't normally have the time in our busy lives to do ... think. We do so with more resolve and clarity. We study; we research; we postulate.
Most of us GLP aficionados come here for news headlines, insightful commentary, and esoteric discussions. Moreover, we occasionally enjoy our engaged perusals with a scrumptious plate of savory doom.
Sometimes, it's served with a full highball glass of refined fear. Some merely sip this intoxicating ale while others quaff the tasty beverage with vigor.
Lately, here just like in the analog world, we're being served a plentiful buffet of fresh doom and a variety of tempting aromatic fears to wash it down.
The Breakfast of GLP Champions: a scrumptious plate of savory doom served with a full highball glass of refined fear.
