Come back, Little Cindy. Come baaack!

I just did some googling and the notions that Fast Eddie = Gus or that Gus just got tired of TV Tropes and pseudicided there are out there.

I wonder if he knows how much people still think about him.

What is even happening?

On one of the related articles, there were comments about Gus and Janitor. I had to sit on my fingers to refrain from chiming in. I learn hard, but I do learn.

Dcp, weren't you the person who spotted Gus posting at TVT after death?

Connie, I'm mostly thinking about him to make myself stop mourning Nora Ephron.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Wow, there's a weird flashback.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wow. I just read the TV Tropes at Encyclopedia Dramatica (a pit of leprous vipers if there ever was one), and it's mostly boring overwrought feudy bullshit, but this caught my attention:

For those seeking the dox of the big man himself, note that the registered site owner (source) supposedly isn't actually Fast Eddie himself, but is his dead friend, "Gus", he has unpersoned from the site. He has, however, used the same information in registering other domains like mediatropes.org long after the supposed death, so make what you will from that information.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, there's a weird flashback.

Seriously. I had to stop myself from reading the whole thing.

Oh, and I found this: [link]

I'm losing myself again, but this time it's a google dive, and not our own files.
