I think i've found the subject of my next interview

on a lark, i thought i’d look up the last name “hitler” in whitepages.com.

no, that name has not been expunged from civilization. i note john, bob, carole, danny, elizando, gregory, james, tom, wayne, vincent, vera, and on and on.

i must find out what it’s like to grow up saying, such as on a job interview, or when telling some gal you met at a bar, “yes, i’m dan, err… dan hitler. what’s your name?”

I’m thinking that you’ll probably end up spending a lot of time up in the northern reaches of Idaho.

Keep your hair short while you’re up there, it might help on a number of fronts.

You’ll probably be wanting to keep your hair short, real short, while conducting those interviews, as well.

Ah well. I kept getting error messages and I thought neither response got through. Instead they both did. File it the Department of Redundency Department.

Nice thunderstorm going on right now, Internet service is rather troublesome at the moment. I suspect all the difficulty is at this end.

I take it you are not training for anything at the moment.

I too, am getting an “invalid ping”. At least my pong is still working, and thank God the error does not seem to have been truly fatal.

What if his first name was Kyle? Or, if a girl, Haile?

“What if his first name was Kyle? Or, if a girl, Haile?”

yes, that would be a cross to bear, wouldn’t it. mind, i’ve had both muddy waters and donny quixote at my bike fit workshops this spring. but no hitlers… yet.

Ha! I just met Donny this weekend. Interesting guy. Do you know if that was his given name or if he changed it?

Do you remember Vic Hitler, the Narcoleptic Comedian, from “Hill Street Blues”?

I’ve been meaning to go up to Rasmussen’s and chat with Donny…have him give my position the once over. I’ve heard good things…

What’s funny is that Adolf’s father’s birth name wasn’t Hitler, but Schicklgruber. The father was born illegitimate, and took the surname of his stepfather, Johann Georg (there’s that “Gay-org” pronunciation again!) Hiedler. It was spelled in various ways until a local town clerk put it down permanently as “Hitler.”

The rest, as they say, is history. Somehow, “Adolf Schicklgruber” doesn’t inspire as much dread and fascination, I’d say.
