At some point I really hope to meet Cla68, in order to better appreciate the fellow who so consistently makes my day.

Here's a great example...

Gary Weiss, as MajorStoval, attempted to sidle up to, and then plant a sloppy smooch upon, Cla.
QUOTE(MajorStovall (aka Gary Weiss))
The important thing is that there is an article on this fascinating subject, and I want to thank and commend you for doing the hard work involved.
Cla (still unaware it's Weiss) invites MajorStoval to join him at WikiProject Military history.

Weiss, salivating, replies:
QUOTE(MajorStoval (aka Gary Weiss))
Great idea! I'm a WWII buff. How did you know I have several shelves of WWII books?
(for the record, if Weiss really owns a single book on WWII, I'll gladly eat it.)

At that point, Cla adds MajorStovall to the Military History mailing list.

On January 5th, MajorStovall is revealed to be Gary Weiss.

On January 6th, Cla delivers (in what I imagine was a very Bob Newhart-esque tone), the coup-de-gras:
QUOTE(Cla68)
I guess I'll go take your name off the mailing list.

I wish I could be smooth like that.
