I don't read it like that. I thought he was trying to give fair credit by noting that TV Tropes developed out of conversations here.

Except that since Fast Eddie never posted here, that makes no sense. (well, I understand what Hec/P-C are saying but it makes no sense to someone who didn't know about Gus's ...oh, I see. I suppose he is talking about "Gus" there. It's hard to keep straight. )

So we assume he keeps talking about us just to tweak our collective noses?

I don't think any of it has been about us. In terms of "why", I mean.

And now, if Gus is dead, he's gettng even with me because while I was posting, the dogs spilled milk from the table everywhere.

You don't want to mess with a yogi, that's for sure.

I dislike the term cougar because it implies there's something predatory about an older woman with a younger man, while men go after women a third their age without having a similar label.

Men in that sitch are called "lucky". Or, "rich."

while men go after women a third their age without having a similar label.

Cradle-robber is gender-neutral, isn't it?

And definitely predatory.

But perhaps not applied as often as it could be. I certainly do.

Except that since Fast Eddie never posted here, that makes no sense.

I'm assuming that Fast Eddie is the same meatspace person as Gus and Janitor and Gus' imaginary Korean girlfriend (Kimi?). Guy Straley/Gus Raley.

I find this all ENDLESSLY fascinating because of the extreme wackiness, but please stop mentioning us. No really, stop.

Also? how bored to you have to be, or how disappointed in who you are as a person to make up multiple different characters for the purpose of nothing. no scam, no con, no murderous plot.

Do you think GusEddie misses us?
