11/09/2003 Entry: "Secret lives"
Have you ever wondered what the bloggers behind those sites you visit are really like? I mean, we only know them via their blogs -- who knows what they might be hiding? The Gutless Pacifist may present as a peace-loving gentle soul, but what if he's really an international arms dealer with all the morals of a tapeworm? Josh Claybourn appears to be a model of conservatism, upright, clean-cut and wholesome. But it could be a front for his real identity as a Maoist agitator. And Darren Rowse might well turn out to be the octogenarian Mother Superior of a strict convent somewhere in the Northern Territories.
What "secret life" would you give your favourite bloggers? Keep it fun - we don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

No, Pieter -- your secret is safe with me.
On screen, the one we know as Dean is the masterful (so masterful!) and confident IT expert. In real life "he" is a 54 year old spinster from a small town in Iowa whose day is occupied (when not pretending to be Dean) with caring for her 17 cats and tracking down obscure additions to her acclaimed collection of "My Little Pony" toys.

All this sillieness and no parody of ME .. I mean, what about my needs?
C'mon people ... make me out to be something fun ... I command it!

That's right. I'm Larry Mullen, Jr...
I wish. :)
Was there a particular band you were thinking of, Richard?

It's a pity that Paul is so wrong Pieter. I have it on good authority that in real life you are in fact the drummer in a *very* well known rock band...

Paul just thinks Dawkins is me because Dawkins is good looking.

Pieter Friedrich is clearly Richard Dawkins working undercover.
