He is... he said

I have started two separate conversations today with the question "Are you Neil Diamond?" This would be a perfectly understandable and normal question if the person were Neil Diamond, but neither of the people I've addressed happened to be. So I just sound insane.

The search continues... Who are you?

Update: Four. And still unsuccessful. I only have one suspect left.

Ummm, may I ask a (two) question(s)? WHY do you want to find Neil Diamond?

gravatar srah - October 22, 2003 - 7:06 AM -

That's one question, isn't it? And I want to find him because I don't know who left that comment and the suspense is keeeeeeelling me.

gravatar katie - October 22, 2003 - 8:23 AM -

Srah, you can't count. That's 2 questions.

Also, I think you should give up on Neil Diamond and start chasing David Bowie. I'm enthralled with him after watching Labyrinth. Yet this slightly disgusts me because he's only 2 years younger than my dad. Oedipus, anyone? AAAAH!

I don't see what the big deal is...anyone can claim to be whomever they want to be.
Heh heh, check it out. I'm Screech.

This is true.

That is two questions. I'm not mad, I'm just insanely curious and want to know who's reading my blog who knows about structuration theory.

gravatar Cheryl - October 22, 2003 - 10:58 AM -

Ah, David Bowie. Uh, no, Screech.

Anybody has the free will to post whatever they want, but they may inadvertently bring about the collapse of this weblog society

I don't have the free will. Srah makes me do it.

Yarrr! Chaos! Who are these people? Not fair - you hurt my head.

Any clue yet as to the identity of the NEIL?

gravatar Diamonds Are Forever - October 22, 2003 - 1:37 PM -

Instead of The Neil, how about The Sean Connery?

gravatar Diamond in the Rough - October 22, 2003 - 3:48 PM -

David Bowie could seriously kick Neil Diamond's butt in a fight. Totally.

I don't even know what The Neil looks like. The only song I know of his is that one about the blue jeans, and only because srah put it on a CD for me.

Katie,

You're enthralled by David Bowie after Labyrinth? Just wait until you see some present-day pictures. I'm a straight male, and *I'm* enthralled.

gravatar D-I-A-M-O-N-D Diamond - October 22, 2003 - 7:42 PM -

Mystery solved! More when I get home.

gravatar srah - October 22, 2003 - 10:53 PM -

Katie, you need to watch Saving Silverman.

gravatar they prescribe a David Bowie fixation in my Michael Shanks recovery support group - October 23, 2003 - 8:18 AM -

Would David Bowie enthrall me now, considering he's only 2 years younger than my dad? (I think it was him + his character from Labyrinth rolled in to one that I am enthralled with.

Saving Silverman... isn't that another one of those dumb teenage stupid movies? I OD'ed on those after watching...1 of them.

Help! Stupid comments cookie is giving me a personality complex!

gravatar katie - October 23, 2003 - 8:20 AM -

Ug. Too early to be commenting. Now I don't exist at all.

gravatar Spike - October 23, 2003 - 10:23 AM -

David Bowie is, to quote a friend from University, "hung". Having heard him in several radio interviews, he's also quite astoundingly literary and absolutely hilarious in person. You can even buy shares in the man! Now ain't that something?

gravatar srah - October 23, 2003 - 10:45 AM -

Sort of, but not. Dumb, but not teenaged. And funny. Allow me to reference myself.

gravatar katie - October 23, 2003 - 12:03 PM -

During certain scenes in Labyrinth (where he has to wear tight pants throughout) I did notice the hung-ness. Very lovely.

I can't believe I am typing this drivel. THIS is what the blogging world has reduced us to: shirking work responsabilities to comment on the hung-ness of a pop star as old as my father in a movie about MUPPETS!

gravatar Annica - October 23, 2003 - 6:47 PM -

Oooh. Nothing draws Annica out from under her rock like comments on The Dave. :-)

He also paints. My kind of art too, so whooo. Heh. It amazes me that he is so learned and brilliant after all those, aherm, mind altering substances he enjoyed so much back when. One would think that they'd still be circling his system... (Ozzy, anyone?)

"You remind me of the babe" indeed!

gravatar katie - October 24, 2003 - 8:23 AM -

Yes, indeed.

gravatar katie - October 24, 2003 - 3:12 PM -

I would like to recommend this post for a "readers select". If not for the content of the post, then for the very bizarre twist taken in the comments.
