Oops.
Do you remember the "Bloom County" comic strip? In it, one of the protagonists was a boy by the name of Binkley. Binkley was an anxious sort, and one ongoing schtick was to have the poor kid unable to sleep because of the monsters in his closet. In one strip, he decides (like Brer Rabbit) to try to outsmart a monster by pretending that he's terrified of Nastassja Kinski (I think he has her poster with the snake up on the wall). He pushes it just a little too far by pretending to be afraid of cheesecake, and the monster realizes his trick.
The comment about Bilmore was because of his use of the Opus avatar. Ms. Kinski makes me think about that strip, and "Bloom County" reminds me of Bilmore (and also a certain tall brunette from high school and college, but that's a different story), hence the "I miss Bilmore" comment.
