About Me:
What really went on there? We only have this excerpt:
"I sat on the stoop of my apartment building drinking beer and
bellowing
at bicyclists as they rode by. Sometimes they stopped to join me for a
drink. Other times they shaked a threatening fist."
Piffle: cheery talking in several languages -- perhaps even in the same
sentence!--, gleeful drinking in the park, happy biking around town to
find
a book to read, ecstatic watching the containers coming off the ships at
ports around the world.

If you ever make a dare or bet with salim, you
better make sure he is away from all forms of
communication, because it is his will to prove you
wrong, set you straight, and put you on the right
path.
He once sent me hundreds of emails in a futile
attempt *cought-hack* to quit smoking.
It was a nice try thought, and quick!

thick enough to stun an ox." I'll bet
dollars to doughnuts that Slim can place
that lyric *without* using Google --
he's got a *monster* music collection
and knows it intimately. I imagine that
Slim must get angry sometimes, but in
all the years I've known him, I've yet
to see more than a furrowed brow. An
even-keeled fellow, this! Fun, and
funny, he has a swell sense of humor
(read: he laughs at my jokes) and enjoys
a bad pun for its own sake.
Friendster seems to be through Salim,
but....Google is just too powerful, so
I will not talk shiat about him. All
hail Salim!
the DVD of "Freddie Got Fingered" for
him, I love it so. Then the special
features, which featured a naked Rip
Torn, came on. Salim watched this
also without protest. This is a true
friend. Also, one late evening we
went to Bob's donuts and watched
the donuts get made. We quietly ate
our own donuts and then studied the
other donuts slowly bubbling before
us. This was an excellent way to
spend an evening with Salim. Yes, a
good friend.

and we drank a whole bottle of
scotch while we ate sweets in hotel
rooms in Morocco and Jon was there
and then we caught a really big fish.

coming, and it may or may not be

leading the charge. Testify!

entertain and provide the right

right time, a basement full of bikes.
Etc: knows himself enough to have a
sense of humor about life and the world
around him.
