My inner Trixie B. is also feeling all bloodhoundy.
Also, I call BS on that person's vermouth advice, as in all the years I've been drinking vermouth (hint: MANY), neither the dry nor the sweet have altered flavor appreciably after opening.
I mean, yeah, I suppose they'll eventually go off, but these days, a bottle lasts me a year or two, and I need the fridge space for more important things. Things that really *do* go horribly wrong if not stored chilled.
I feel like "Guy Straley" must anagram to something. Maybe if we add a "Marvolo" in the middle.
Tom, I used to get Udon from that Sushi! place, I think. btw, we will be work neighbors again mid-April.

Tokyo Lunch is SO much better.
We got no snow. Well, I saw a few flakes. Tonight we'll get the backhand of the storm, but even that isn't supposed to be much. A couple inches?
The "Gus Raley" on LinkedIn is definitely our guy - he runs "Designs by Gus" and designsbygus@gmail.com is associated with TVTropes.
I have to say, I'm not sure what anyone means by this. Is there some other question (other than why?) that needs answering? Because I don't think he's ever going to answer that question. Gus/Guy Straley was a lying lair who lies, and he continues to be one (apparently).
I pretty much figure it was started as a lark, went on way too long, and the pseudicide was an attempt to end it as "harmlessly" as possible. Didn't work out that way. As far as I'm concerned, that's the best explanation I'll ever get. It doesn't absolve him, nor does it get him out of a big ol' can of punchtotheface, in my book. But it also means I don't have presume malice on the part of somebody I've never met, which would require more emotional investment from me than I'm prepared to put into it.
We should ALL ask for a connection to him on LinkedIn. Has anyone searched Facebook?
Um. Holy shit. I don't think this was linked before. Googling for Gus Raley quickly got me this comment:

An extensive collection of speculative fiction tropes is available among the other 5000 or so tropes cataloged by the TV Tropes fanatics. Worth a peek.
