Simpson is my middle name

No, really, it is. And although I followed the Identikit procedures exactly, I'm sure anyone who has met me will say I look nothing like this guy:

You're right. I've never seen you wear orange shoes.

I know who you are, and next time you can buy me a coffee for that remark...

Of course, I'm much fatter than the Homer body form.

And less hirsute of course.

It must be my turn to shout coffees anyway.

Mmmmmm...Lamingtons...

Simultaneously. As I am by nature Very Lazy, this means I have to fit all this is around my normal procrastination schedule.

I'll blog sporadically, but not much until early August. So sorry.

Does all the recent blog activity mean the Mr J.S. Wilkins is procrastinating instead of doing all of the things that were supposed to hold him up from blogging? Just asking!

For those of you who have never seen an actual picture of John or met him in person: you must know that, although he isn't willing to aknowledge it, John is a handsome man, a living example of what means to age gracefully. He might want to block this comment, blackmail Janet Stemwedel to remove the picture and kill me for giving this link to a a picture of him (in case it isn't obvious, it's the first picture) in which you can see for yourselves and compare to the Simpsons' character.

Actually, Ribozyme, that first snap is of Robert Brandon. Wilkins is in the third picture from the top, wearing a red shirt.

But I do agree that his Simpsons avatar is rather less attractive than the genuine article.

Yebbut notice that Ereshefsky aged even more gracefully than I did. And he's a much nicer fellow, which was inconvenient because I was all set to hate him for disagreeing with me. [I said I wasn't a nice fellow.]

I grew a goatee, but the site only had a few beard choices, so it makes me look much more hirsute than I am. Except when I haven't shaved the rest of my face for a few days...

... could you have picked a less flattering photo?

No, I'm pretty sure that was the least flattering one I took. But if you come back to New york, I'll see what I can do!

Phlblblttt!!!
