What's the Truth Behind My Meeting with 'The Man' on My Bucket List?

[dlgoff]

Meeting “The Man” had been on my bucket-list for a long time. This picture says it all.

 

[Evo]

Very nice dl!

 

[DiracPool]

Woah, dlgoff and company representin' Nice:w That's non-alcoholic beer btw, right?

 

[dlgoff]

Very nice dl!

Thank you.

That's non-alcoholic beer btw, right?

Right.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Great photo! What a wonderful time! btw, the third day was a bit calmer. Mostly families so the parents had the kids under control lol

 

[dlgoff]

I noticed this with the kids that had parent/s with them. I thought it was neat that these parents expressed how much more their kid knew about physics than they did. Handed out a few cards to them so they could maybe get one-up on their kids. They were thankful.

Actually it doesn't say anything to me, except two skinny persons (young and old) are advertising liquors and physics forums T shirts.

This should help.

Dlgoff is a shameless physics proselyte, doing his proslytism wherever he sees fit.

Come heather my faithful proselytizer and I’ll show you the way. :D

And who is who ?

BTW, that background of the photo reminds me of the Tesla coil's master oscillator set by Tesla in Colorado Springs, A.D. 1899 :)

 

[lisab]

Very, very nice :)! I'd like to get this same thing crossed off my bucket list, too!

I hope you do. What a good leader we have. The story of his creation of PF is very inspiring to me and will be to many future PFers I'm sure. And to have a brew with him ... wow.

Keep your eyes open lisab. I'm sure he would be open to attending a big Science Festival near you.

 

[DataGG]

And who is who ?

Also interested.. Is any of them supposed to be a famous physicist or something?

The guy on the left is Greg, he created PF. We refer to him as Lord And Master. On the right is Don, a beloved, longtime PFer:

Really ? Ohhh this is the first time I see Greg. Many people are afraid to be seen in public. So he doesn't look like an online gamer :D.

Check out this one.

I assumed he looked like Galileo. Oh wait...that's Astro.

You forget "Battlestar Captain"!

Waging war on Crackpot tyranny, Spacemites, and Incrulouses, the last Battlestar Captain, Greg, leads a ragtag, nerdly crew, on a lonely quest—in a shining place, abbreviated as PF.

I switched religions one day, because of Don.

Thank you for clearing that up. I had no idea what the hell that picture was about. It certainly doesn't look anything like the last picture that I saw of him some 10 years or so back when I first joined here. He seems to have lost weight and partially "unnerded" himself.

 

[dlgoff]

Thank you for clearing that up.

So you thought Greg was an old man?

 

[Danger]

So you thought Greg was an old man?

No. I thought that he was young, geeky, and pudgy.

 

[dlgoff]

No. I thought that he was young, geeky, and pudgy.

Being young and geeky is how I recognized him when arriving at the Wisconsin Science Festival. :)

 

[Danger]

But he's not pudgy any more.

 

[dlgoff]

But he's not pudgy any more.

You do know he's married, right?

 

[Danger]

You do know he's married, right?

You do know I'm straight, right?

Almost 10,000 post, you should have said something

 

[Danger]

Almost 10,000 post

I'm actually probably well over 25,000. Posts in GD, where I spend most of my time, aren't counted.
