Well, it was bound to happen.
Got this cryptic message from My Friend Jeff™ sometime yesterday morning:
To: Oglesby, Terry

Subject: Hmmm...
Lookie what I found...

As I said, it was bound to happen that more of my real world acquaintances would find me. A while back Charlie my reenacting buddy found me, but as far as I can tell, he only checked in once, then there was Tall Blonde Tracy™, who drops by, but only rarely, and there is Andre, whom I see at my biweekly regulatory meetings and he sometimes participates in the Thursday Three, but My Friend Jeff™--now HE'S someone who is an integral part of the storyline here, with multiple posts over the years about our lunch outings and magazine swappings and various frightening goings-on at The Bad Place (our former place of employment) and junk like that.
Not much else to do except 'fess up, and let him know that although HE might know, there are still others out there who don't (i.e., Miss Reba), but that this fact should not be used as a way to blackmail me--there being all sorts of moist secrets in HIS closet that he was foolhardy enough to share with me!
But also, now that he knows, I did tell him I expect him to be a regular contributor to the discussions from now on, so with this post, I ask him to say hello and introduce himself to you all.
And by the way, American Idol contestant Chris Sligh is not my brother.

Posted by: Nate at March 7, 2007 08:47 AMI'm waiting on him to tell, as well. Maybe if he'll wake up and get busy with his IMPORTANT stuff, we'll all be able to find out!
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at March 7, 2007 08:54 AMIf you shaved your head would your hair grow back like cousin Chris's? I have a hunch that the producer's will only want one chubby guy for the final 12, so it will probably be Sundance Head(ing) out on Thursday.
Blog Rule #2: You can post from the heart, but don't post anything that could get you in trouble, particularly with loved ones.
Posted by: Marc V at March 7, 2007 09:27 AMI don't think so, although even when I was young and foolish and actually had a nice Mac Davis-like perm, it STILL didn't look anything like Cousin Chris'.
As for rule #2, I think I've managed to do that. Maybe.
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at March 7, 2007 09:31 AMWell, I Googled "Terry Oglesby" and you came up the first 8 entries. I did learn that there is a sports writer at Kansas State named Terry Oglesby.
Posted by: Larry Anderson at March 7, 2007 09:52 AMThat's the same guy as me.
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at March 7, 2007 10:21 AMI hadn't realized that you had moved on from Weevil State.
Posted by: Larry Anderson at March 7, 2007 10:24 AMNot at all--just working from the satellite campus.
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at March 7, 2007 10:46 AMI personally wonder if MFJ was ready for the truth--could he handle the cultural shock of Possumblog?
Posted by: Stan at March 7, 2007 03:13 PMI suspect the Cornatees put him off a bit.
Posted by: skinnydan at March 7, 2007 03:20 PMStan, I think it's something like that--he's now claiming everyone around here frightens him, and so he has thus far refused to even say hello. And Dan, he's on a low-carb diet, so the Cornatees aren't the problem.
Although it could be the smell of them cooking that got to him.
