Said he got flustered giving a demonstrating at a beautiful woman's house and actually ruined a bit of the carpet; she kindly offered she could just cover it up with a plant. I've never understood collections and why people enjoy collecting; someone told me it was about wanting to have some control over something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13524464.post-27833558078877251982009-01-21T22:59:00.000-07:002009-01-21T22:59:00.000-07:00You couldn't make up something this good if you tr...You couldn't make up something this good if you tried.

I remember the guy was a slender model type, and the quick friendship left an impression, but since then, when I write animation stuff, I keep tapping in to time travel, appliances, vacuum cleaners. But I never do anything with autographed apricots.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00874162149979602139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13524464.post-28762213409056252872009-01-21T20:43:00.000-07:002009-01-21T20:43:00.000-07:00Interesting guy.

Did he inspire the vacuum cleaner antics in "Whinsey on Your Phone?"<BR/>The neatly arranged collection of vacuum cleaners makes me wonder if he had a touch of Aspergar's Syndrome. <BR/>And what's with this "when I thought my career was going somewhere?" you're way ahead of me!Namowal (Jennifer Bourne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00384500508934864421noreply@blogger.com
