How I met Chuq (username: yakuza)

After being unable to meet up with him and Daniel Spils the night before, I called him up after dropping the spouse off at work. He was making his way downtown and was lost in front of the Maserati/Ferrari dealership (looking at the cars, maybe?), so I told him to stay there, and I would drive by to pick him up. As I was approaching and describing my car to him so he would know who to look for, he said: “Oh, the one with the lights off?”. Umm, yeah, oops.

How I met stagger

I called him up when I was in Seattle, and he came out and met a couple of the Robots. We had a bunch of drinks and he even gave me a ride to Pike Place Market (I was almost hopelessly lost) and then back to Casa de Spils.

Stagger is a great guy, and it was a pleasure to meet him (finally).

A story about Daniel Spils

I am pretty sure I ran into Daniel walking out of the Elysian earlier tonight (Friday 16 DEC) while my spouse and I were walking in. Unfortunately, due to the long day and lack of food my brain was selectively processing input from my eyes, and apparently person recognition was delayed about fifteen seconds. Once that started, “where have I seen that guy before?” began to slowly percolate through my mind. “Ah, I know!” By that time, of course, he was long gone. Hopefully my eyes and brain will be more in sync next time I run into him!

One thing you probably didn't know about stagger

When he was in grade school he made a cicada paperweight by using a dead cicada body to make a mold for a some sort of “polymer crap” to be poured in that hardened and produced a life sized clear cicada.

I was married to him for over a year before I found this out. Consider yourself lucky that you are learning it so soon.

A story about delia

The second time we met, she went on a mega rant about if she would be pressured by family and society to serve meat during her hypothetical (i.e. she had zero plans on getting married) wedding celebration… she is a vegetarian. As she wound down, I said, “hey, it will be your wedding, so serve what you want.” She said, “Yeah! I will!”

As it turned out, a few years later we got married on a mountain in the Canadian Rockies with two random Swiss hikers who just happened to be there as witnesses. During our wedding celebration back in Central New York a few weeks later, ya know what, there was no meat to be found.

The real reason I want to meet stagger

stagger is the only other person on 43places.com that has been to Hornell. Since I know most of the people that are from that town, I am guessing that I’m not too many degrees of separation from him.
