One of my favorate A2Kers, Gus Ratzenhoffer, has been around since May, 2003. Yet I know virtually nothing about him, except that he has a brilliant mind, and a rapier wit. In nearly three years, he has shared nothing of himself.
I have no idea of his age, (although I suspect that he has been walking this earth for quite awhile), his sex, marital status, or what he does when he is not on A2K. He is the ultimate mystery man.
Who do you think that Gus is? Have any of you gleaned any insights into his character that has possibly eluded me?
Why would anyone care about this?
I don't know why you thrill me like you do
I think he's another quiet, little bookkeeper like myself. You know, when we feel outgoing, we look at YOUR shoes, instead of our own.
Roger,
Is being a bookkeeper in line with your juggler sig line?
I thought that we had definitively answered this question. He is a bored stock broker somewhere in Idaho.

Fair use warning: I intend to shamelessly promote this joke as my own...
Hi Intrepid. I just knew someone would pick up on the L. Pacioli quote.

I'm with you in being curious about the life of our mystery Gus.
I once asked him where he was from and his response was "I'm closer than you think", lol.

Who was Gustav Ratzenhoffer? He was a social theorist and a Social Darwinist who believed in the "survival of the fittest."

I'd like to think that our Gustav is a freelance writer. He writes wonderful novels, and to make living, he also writes soppy short stories for Reader's Diges and raunchy ones for the Hustler and alike. He probably has a young daughter that he has to put to bed at 9pm every day - for note how he disappears unannounced every night at about the same time. He's in his fourties maybe, fit and handsome, most likely nothing similar to the gustavratzenhofer personna in the real life exemplar.

Sounds like you could be on to something there.
I voted for the Democratic nomination although I think that will happen later.
In the meantime, Gus is a secret operative for the NSA, can communicate with porpoises and posts wearing nothing but a belt buckle that says "Zeke".
that was my choice on the poll, too, jespah.
I also have figured Gus for a writer, maybe early forties. Handsome devil, no doubt..
!!!!!
I had great instincts, just the wrong person..
I can also see Gus as owner of some serious business...
oddly enough.
He's the Beaver.
Child stars always come to sad, bathetic, ends...and it explains the weird capybara thing.
Poor Gus.
You're right, Montana. It does sound like she could be on something, there.
Stumble It!
