Exactly.  We ran "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" backwards with

okay.  Then we watched Silent Night Deadly Night III, which
sucked.

Then I turned into Finerty, which also sucked.

Doppelganger!  Let that be a warning to you.  Moreover, "doppelganger" 
sounds much more literary than "evil twin."

That said, here is another little story to explain my reference, without 
further use of the offending word.

Years ago, when I was going to the U. of Chicago, occasionally some of 
my friends would tell me, "Oh, I saw you last night at such-and-such."  
When I protested that I was home studying (for instance) on the evening 
in question, they would insist that they had seen me from a distance on 
campus.  When pressed, they would sometimes concede that perhaps it was 
just someone who looked identical to me.

The activities I was "seen" in were invariably those I would have 
considered interesting or appropriate: taking in the Doc Films showing 
of "Reefer Madness" and "Bambi vs. Godzilla"; visibly stoned or giggly 
at some official campus activity; appearing at a political rally; or the 
like.  My physical double apparently had tastes very similar to mine.

I began to seriously worry that I was suffering from fugue states or 
blackouts, one day when I was walking down 57th St.* past O'Gara's and 
Staver's.  A stunningly beautiful young woman walked past me, gave me a 
big smile, said "Hello, Clifton", and walked on.  I was certain I had 
never met her.  Since I was at that time both lonely and sexually 
frustrated, in no "relationship", meeting her was not the kind of thing 
which I would have readily forgotten.  I never ran into her again.

I brooded about this for years.  As you can tell, I still drag it out 
and brood about it occasionally.

None of this was ever explained.

* It's been years.  If the street with O'Gara's and the Medici was/is 
another street than 57th, I'm sure some pedant can correct me.

I'm spending Christmas through New Year's Day in California, trekking
from San Diego to Borrego Springs to San Francisco. Hopefully, I might
even get to see the Rosicrucian Museum in San Jose. Anyone wants a
postcard, send me your postal address and you'll probably get one
unless I've killfiled you or never heard of you or something. Those
who got 'em last time needn't apply again.

Speaking of this trip, I have as yet no plans for New Year's Eve in
the Bay Area, so y'all in the area should feel free to tell me of any
parties you might be throwing.

Work's going to be a pain in upcoming months, so I probably won't be
here much in the beginning of next year -- THESE POSTCARDS MAY BE YOUR
_LAST CHANCE TO SEE_ [yours truly] (for a while).

I was in a bad mood last night, and last minute Christmas shopping at
a local MALL didn't help. So to take it out on others, I weaved
through the parking lot when I left, letting people follow me for a
while before I cut through to another lane. Okay, so I didn't. There's
enough shit in this world.

It's been one's and zero's,

Down here, the otherwise-estimable G. Heileman Brewing Co. has recently

"Non-Alcoholic Malt Beverage" is one of those bureaucratic weaselwords,

Non-alcoholic Black Label.  Jeezus, I was just getting used to the idea of
Black Label Light...

Being funded by my tax money, they can probably afford imported brewskis, so:

i'm of an opinion that the best first posts to t.b are the ones which

i think my first post was of the latter type.
