Why is nobody asking about obbob?

obbop is a free thinker who has an excellent old stereo system.

Free thinkers often do things we wouldn't expect, like not show up on a web board for months on end...
 
Surely with all his posted pictures of his shanty and that of downtown Shantyville, one of you guys would have a geographical fix on him by now. Why doesn't someone just go rap on his door?

When image search becomes reality, you'll be able to upload a picture of a house into google, and it'll search the google earth database and find out where it is.

I'm merely a regular member that provides a bit more direct support to the message board. Aside from public posting, I haven't had too much dialog with any mod since I was one. Being a mod is not what most think. Although it can't necessarily be called "hard work" ..it really cramps your style (most cases) as a participant. It's more like being a janitor in a really neat public access library. You tidy up (put posts where they belong) and tell the naughty youngsters to move on and find something productive to do (locking posts). It's not a glorifying position ..even though you're perceived as having great power. Many of us have just been here so long that we consider this a home of sorts. Humans tend to need to have some dominion over their environment and the restrictions tend to frustrate us.

My mistake. Gary isn't a very common name. When I worked in human services, I worked with another Gary. The clients would call out "Gary!" ..and we'd both answer. It really complicated stuff.

..and I rarely flatter myself, mori. I'll leave delusions of grandeur to those in need of it

It's Allan, btw. I come from the finest of Scottish peasantry.
 
I know five Garys in person, not including online Garys. So no relation to THE Van Allen? Forgive me, you radiate so much energy it confuses me.

By the way, it's really mori with a lower case m.

Well, we can't all have such exceptional lives as yours, mori.

..but I'd check their DOB. Now I'm sure all of "your Garys" are from the 50's. You do realize that when JFK was assassinated, there were many "Johns" born. You need to spend some time as a mall Santa Claus to see the evolutions in popular names.

Gary might well have been en vogue for some period in time ...but I can't imagine why

In Scotland, it's usually spelled Garry. Many think it's an adaptation of Gareth ..but this Wiki reference is the first that I've ever seen such an association ..and I've sought a few over my lifetime ...although, admittedly, one would tend to reason it that way

Here's what Wiki says about popularity of the name. Perhaps this will index your apparent uniqueness in knowing so many. But then again, we all can't live the life of Dos Equis "most interesting man in the world" now, can we

The name Gary is derived from the word spear in Old English & Germanic languages, and used to describe a "spear thrower" (hmmm..spear chucker Gary

)

The usage of Gary as a male given name in America is interestingly intertwined with the success of the actor Gary Cooper. According to the Social Security Administration, Gary was relatively rare as a given name in the 1900-1920s period (e.g., in the 1910s it was the 677th most frequent name, given to less than 0.01% of the babies born in that decade). However, when the actor's Gary, Indiana-born agent Nan Collins told him to change his name (then Frank Cooper) to Gary, this name's popularity soared. In the 1930s, 0.38% of the male babies in America were named Gary, and in the 1950s as many as 1.54% (mega popular!!=my edit) of the male babies were given this name, making it the 12th most popular given name of that decade. The name Gary reached its record popularity (9th place) in 1954, the year after Gary Cooper received his Best Actor Academy Award for his leading role in High Noon. Since then, the popularity of Gary as a given name in America has been on a very slow, but steady decline. In the 1990s, this name is the 170th most popular, given to around 0.1% of newborn males.

The name Gary can also be a variant of similar names, such as the Welsh Gareth, Garrie or Garry.

Here's my comment: This thread is ridiculous.

I have no idea why obbob isn't posting.
