Sorry I goofed

[Guest EscortProtector]

I made an assumption based on the messages here that Billy's ex was an escort. I owe Barry an apology He is not Skeptic. Skeptic is another Chicago escort.

Apology accepted. :-)

But I don't think EscortProtector is done apologizing for his bumbling, self-important (and ultimately futile) efforts to uncover my identity.

 

A week ago, he announced that he was digging up information that would unmask me. Meaning what? Reveal my name? Quite apart from the fact that he cannot, what difference would that have made to these discussions?

 

In any event, he continues to flounder comically at his detective work, for I am (l) not from Chicago and (2) not an escort.

 

Time to hand back that tweed cloak & tam o'shanter to the real Miss Marple--Hooboy.

Skeptic:

How do you know so much about the cruising scene in Chicago? Are you sure you don't live in Chicago? I noticed one of your posts on another thread. Are you sure you are not Billyboy himself?

[Guest Skeptic]

If you've read everything here over the past few months, you'd also notice that I know just as much about several other cities, including New York, Washington, Boston and Miami.

 

And if you could imagine (even for a moment) that I might be BillyBoy (and assuming you've read his postings, too), I can only say that you don't pay much attention to style, diction and subject matter.

Skeptic:

I thought you were such an intelligent person that you can easily disguise your style of writing. I still believe you to be Billyboy. Only Billyboy could be so cunning as to promote himself and have us believe he actually has any detractors.

OK, you're right: I AM BillyBoy. Now what?

[Boston Guy]

Skeptic, I know you don't care for this response, but it accurately describes my immediate reaction upon reading your post: LOL!

 

It's the old "if you can't beat them, join them" theory. :-)

[Guest Skeptic]

Oh, I liked your response just fine, BG. The beat'em/join'em strategy was indeed my game (with a bit of 'humoring a child' behind it).

 

But since Crazytaxi posted HIS response twice, it made me look more closely at what he really said: that BillyBoy couldn't possibly have any REAL detractors.

 

Hmmm. . .

[Guest crazytaxi]

Well in that case Skeptic, how about an appointment next Thursday night?

[Bilbo]

Since this thread is divinely silly, perhaps I can get away with breaking in with an interruption? How long do we go before we start asking ourselves where a regular has been? And how long has Regina been out of the room? I hope she has merely had to start rehearsals for a decent role on Broadway, or some such wonderful news. Or is she here and we just passed in the hallway, so to speak?

[Guest Skeptic]

No, dear Bilbo, you did not 'brush foxes' with Regina just now! And I, for one, second your pious wish that he has found some worthy, rewarding outlet for all that histrionic energy.

[Bilbo]

Provided he brings it back to us in good time.
