I don't know about you, but I really like the Gary Beals Aliant text messaging tv commericials, I also really enjoy his Friendster profile.
So Spalding Gray is still missing, I thought I might help by posting this from He-Man's Livejournal:
"As some of you may know, writer/actor/kinda weird guy Spalding Gray has disappeared and he was last seen somewhere on your planet (not mine) so I figured we could organize a search for him. Let's call it "Find Spalding Gray!!!" for lack of a better title.
Now sure, I know you guys are all saying, "Hey, He-Man, I already have to look for that email baby that keeps getting kidnapped!" Well, you gotta understand that babies are cute, and people are gonna look for them regardless of whether or not you read that email. Not so for poor Spalding Gray! How many people do you know that are gonna go out of their way to find a missing raconteur? And how many of those are sober?
You see, He-Friends, the search for Spalding Gray is up to us (you guys in particular, though I'll check the Slime Pit). Only we have the dedication to heroism and sheer people-power to get this job done!
To find Spalding Gray, I would suggest that first we search for him as a Livejournal interest. When you find people that list him, give them a good going-over. You never know! Also, someone should go to the main Livejournal page and read the latest posts thingie. Keep refreshing and don't skim!!! There may just be a clue to his location hidden between those "High Fidelity" quizzes. When you are done searching Livejournal, I'll need you to brush the cobwebs off your sedentary form and get out of the house! I understand that some of you haven't seen daylight in years, and to you I suggest high SPF sunscreen and dark glasses. If anyone asks, say you are an Anne Rice fan. Once you are outside, I want you to check your yard if you have one, and then go door-to-door. Take a picture with you if you can (preferably one of Spalding Gray...crayon is okay). Don't leave any doorsteps 'til you have a concrete answer as to whether or not the inhabitants A) have seen Gray or B) are holding him prisoner. This may require the application of force but hey, what doesn't? When you have found Spalding Gray comment in my Livejournal or email me. Then call the police. If Gray seems to be a flight risk use jujitsu moves to immobilize him."

I was thinking about internet surveys and how they ask dumb questions like "Do you follow the five second rule when food falls on the floor?" and how I'd respond, "Not bloody likely, have you seen our floor?" I then went to the fridge and popped some grapes into my hand and of course one falls on the floor.
It rolled around for ten seconds, Vickers stared at it, I stared at Vickers, Vickers looked back at me, I shrugged and put the grape in my mouth.
