Can you imagine. And then, to be, like, the "number one fan" of a <I>particular</I> WaPo staffer whom I shall refrain from naming, okay you forced it out of me, "Joel Achenbach"--that is so bizarre as to be almost literally unspeakable. It's necessary to hang out on Achenblog just to be in contact with the 100 or so people in the world who understand this--well, is obsession the right word? Hobby? Pastime?<BR/><BR/>It's not the internet which has made me weird. I promise you I was an Achenbach devotee before I knew what the internet was. But without the blog and the ability to contact other Achenreaders I would have to keep it in a more realistic perspective. The blog allows it to take over a bigger part of my psyche.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-59613948396374665582007-03-15T13:58:00.000-04:002007-03-15T13:58:00.000-04:00We're members of the EAA and try to get up there a...We're members of the EAA and try to get up there at least once a year.<BR/><BR/>I've got pictures on my blog somewhere.PsychoToddlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00874353280798371891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-70199467255653666772007-03-15T00:21:00.000-04:002007-03-15T00:21:00.000-04:00I went to the AFM about 20 years ago when I was a ...I went to the AFM about 20 years ago when I was a cadet in the Civil Air Patrol. My favourite memory was reaching up to shake the wing, and thereby the entire wing span, of a B-52 bomber.<BR/><BR/>As for the obscure fan thing, I confess I'm a Tudor history geek, specifically Elizabeth I.

But it can't be just any old thing to come down the pike; I like the stuff that makes some oblique reference to the fact that there's a war going on. For example, the Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix ads that promise the stuff isn't rationed. <BR/><BR/>Is that obscure enough?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-44117775499294920542007-03-13T22:00:00.000-04:002007-03-13T22:00:00.000-04:00Wow, what a neat museum!
