Tah—In the Flesh!
Status: True
Two weekends ago I got a chance to meet John Baker -- better known in the Hoax Forum as the moderator Tah. He was in San Diego with his family on vacation. We had lunch and then took the ferry across San Diego harbor. I had a great time. John's back home now and emailed me this snapshot of the two of us posing in front of the San Diego skyline. (I'm the short one — and I'm six-feet tall!) Our wives and John's daughter are out of view behind the camera.
The only negative is that it was early February so I, thinking it would be chilly down on the water, had come dressed in black jeans and a sweater. It turned out to be 80 degrees that day, so I had shed the sweater by the time this picture was taken. But I was still pretty hot.
I've now met all the forum moderators in person, except for MadCarlotta, Maegan, and Myst (who hasn't been around in ages). I can confirm that they're all the nicest, most intelligent group of people you could imagine.
John also sent a picture of what he suggests might be Nessie in the bay. He notes, "Anne [his wife] seemed to think it was just two seals looking for fish, but I know better!"

Hmm...Can't say that I'll be in California anytime soon, either. I am sure there are plenty of hoaxes here that might need a thorough checking out in Florida.

Wohoo, look at them legs!

It's okay, Mouse. Obviously Alex is lying to spare your feelings. 
Alex needs to arrange to be in LA in April so he can entertain Smerk during her layover.

Oh, and I miss Myst. I wonder what ever happened to her. The business she used to write for went belly up the last time I checked.

Thank you, Alex. It was fun meeting you. You are your wife are also very nice, intelligent people. (But we already knew that about you!)
And I still say that was Nessie. She knew we were meeting and wanted to come check us out.

I'm glad you guys had a good time. Now all that needs to happen is that you guys come visit in October when Boo and Mouse come stay with me! (and yes I know it was going to be in May but October is the revised and final date!)

I know I'm not an exalted moderator, but I've been thinking how I'd like to get back to San Diego one of these days (I lived in Ocean Beach for about a year in the early 90's when I worked at XTRA radio) and hang with Alex.
Could happen. Who knows?

>>I know I'm not an exalted moderator<<
Well, actually, Cranky.... I don't think I ever removed the powers I gave you when you guest-blogged. So you do have all the powers of a moderator.

Wait! You mean I've had magical powers all this time and I never knew it???
It's as if I just discovered that I'm the Last Son of Krypton and I can fly under a yellow sun.
Evildoers beware!

Yeah, it'd be cool if you could wander up to LA in April, Alex. But if you can't that's alright. I'm sure I'll find something to do!

I've always thought you were hot Alex.
