My tripodial pal had an odd interaction today

[squirell nutkin]

As stated, he ran into the mother of the previous admin at a sort of public venue that caters to the neither rain, nor etc. crowd.

Being the superficially polite fellow he is he asked her how things were and she got all weird and haughty, Well, WTF? he wasn't into playing the game with her and never was.

She made some cryptic comment about "how she was doing" may be published soon.

After asking for clarification she said something about "don't you talk about me and gossip about me?"

He said something to the effect of No, she never comes up in conversation, so why would he?

She had the genuine smug haughty look (chin up, down the nose look)


The odd thing is that he hasn't been out of his house or out and about town for months. Months. (depression can be like that) And maybe the only time he has said anything about her would have been on this board or to the local haircutter who, although gossips, is on the same page as him, vis a vis her.

Remotely possible that haircutter might have said something to someone and used him as corroboration and it got back to her, or that someone, her dau, perhaps who knows his handle here and hates his life, might have gone a reading and passed things on.

Maybe the first reason is more likely, but still remote as it's been months since he's had a haircut; the last one was self-inflicted.

But the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, in fact it may still be on the branch, so the grandiosity, paranoia, and self-righteousness may just be feeling a bit frisky what with the warm weather and all.

Still, he says he was unnerved.
