Isn't the Navy Submarine Museum close by, too? Pre-teen me (heck, Aging Me) would appreciate seeing the USS Nautilus and the other cool stuff they have there.

Groton - yes, nearby.
Certainly closer than the zoo in Providence (I can imagine Coltrane missing the wedding itself with that trip).

High school me appreciated “Mystic Pizza,” but that was because I spent the entire film expecting to see Julia Roberts’s tits. |

Not Bob's Continuing Adventures on LinkedIn.
So, I was perusing the "you may know" list (or whatever they call it), and came across a familiar real name of someone I vaguely remember from the Infirm days, but can't recall the moniker.* Anyway, this person and I share about 10 connections, all from here, including Chef and Penske. So I send the connection request, along with a few others, and life goes on.
The next week, I get a message that someone has looked at my profile. It was the Infirm alum. The alum has not accepted my connection. I am wounded.
And it wasn't Flower, although I did just send him an invite. Confidential to Flower: Roberto Null is me.
Carry on.
*Yes, this happened once before. I still haven't placed who that person is in terms of Board history, but I'm ok with it.

It wasn't me; but I'm happy to link on in with anyone who might want to. PM me; I might stand Hank up, but I will accept your invite!

No, it wasn't anyone who currently posts. But, I just sent another batch out, and I'm pretty sure that a different Infirm alum (an ex of someone who does post here) just looked at my profile and hasn't yet accepted. Fucker. Compliment a coupled-chick's hairstyle once too often and one is shunned!
I'll PM you shortly. Thanks. |

Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street.*
Hey! The current poster's ex accepted the invite! Guess my leering** comments didn't bother him that much.
*I keed, as you all probably know. I don't think he was (at least as far as I know) a bad dude (or a gorilla, for that matter).
**Well, leering by my standards.

Uh oh. I didn't know people got these messages. Looks like I just pinned the creepy meter on a few work paralegals.

I am offended that you have not connected with me.

You only get notice if you pay to get the upgraded premium Linked In. And who does that except dweebish gunners, oh, and NotBob I guess, but I'm sure he has a very good reason?
