There, I said it.


Or posted it, whatever.

Now I'm all messed up and hesitant to beat him up and stuff.

I'll bet that's because his avatar is a pic of the late, great Jon-Erik Hexum (1957 - 1984) who played Phineas Bogg on Voyagers! in the early '80s. I was 13 when that show came on and, in retrospect, it helped me realize I was gay.

Tragically, Hexum was killed in an accident on the set of another program he was on.

I loved that show!
It was retro-cheesy in such a fun way. Just HG Wellsian enough to be kind of familiar but science fiction-y time paradoxish enough to be comfortable and fun.

..and once in a while history accidentally happened.

Choke! Now I'm depressed!

Me too.
I didn't know that.

But let's celebrate his achievement and highly acclaimed performance as a bad nass LMBP villain!

Yeah, Bogg. What was the kid sidekick's name?

That was Jeffrey Jones, played by Meeno Peluce, half-brother of Soleil-Moon Frye, who played Punky Brewster a few years later.

Sleeping with an LMB villain and turning him/her into an LMB ally is a tried and true successful method of defense!

I loved the show “Voyagers” as a little kid.

I actually used to pretend I was Jeffrey Jones, using an old military compass as my personal “Omni”. When Cobie and Lardy suggested that I tie my own LMBP subplot into a larger plot involving the old LMB nemesis, Phineas B. Fuddle, there was never any doubt in my mind what he was going to look like.

A time-traveling guy named Phineas… c’mon… no brainer.

And, in my mind at least… the “B,” of course, is for “Bogg”.

That avatar resembles a buddy of mine: Part-time animator/journalist and full-time smart ass.

Every time I read PBF's posts, I imagine my buddy talking.

I don't know how to break this to either of them.

[sigh]
