Poll: Should hj post his picture on the site?

[Terry]

hj has been posting on forums since the world was created. What would the Internet be without his wisdom? I have always wondered what this salty guy is like. I have hoped in vain to get to know him better, but maybe if enough of us ask, he will post a picture. I know a lot of you have been helped greatly by his advice, so what do you think?

 

[hj]

Who said there are ANY pictures? (I voted for #3, by the way) Why post one and destroy the mystery. This way I can be sitting next to you and mining your expertise. My icon shows the trench I have been digging for a long time and it is still not finished, although the Colorado River is helping. When it is finally completed, then I can begin to install the sewer and water pipes in it.

I thought you two were old buddies, sharing Sunday afternoon BBQs whenever you got together in Seattle or Phoenix.

I voted for #2, because even Bridget Bardot doesn't look like BB anymore.

I really need to get down and see that ditch that you've been working on. Maybe river rafting it would be fun. I need to do that before you fill it back in.

 

[hj]

Oh, NO!. I forgot about backfilling it and got rid of all the dirt. Can you bring some with you when you come?

I totally can respect his need for privacy, but I've always wondered what HJ stands for: Hassidic Jew, Howard Johnson, Hoppin' John, the possibilities are endless.

 

[hj]

In the beginning, we had to type in our name at the sites, and HJ was the shortest, and easiest, way to do it. Hasidic Jew would be close because when I was in high school 98%, (all but 2 or 3 in each class), was Jewish. I was not, but my name looked like it so I took all the Jewish holidays. On those days the school was deserted. In fact one teacher commented, "I didn't know there were African American Jews".

 

[Terry]

We know you first started plumbing in Chicago, and then moved to Arizona. Arizona, why do so many people I know Winter there? Oh yes, Seattle.
I would take any holiday I could too. So it must have been a public school if they stayed open on those days. I will let you know if I visit in your area so we can have dinner. It could be fun.

From what I can tell, he's too modest to post his own picture, so here is one of him that I found on the Internet:

 

[FullySprinklered]

Hey, we got African-Americans down in Georgia. Saw one once, swear to God. My next guess would have been Honey Jar on the initials, but that doesn't seem to fit. After that, I was thinking Henry J, as in Kaiser. My dad bought a Kaiser automobile in 1948, four years before I appeared on the scene.

 

[hj]

WEll, he could have had a Henry J, or a Kaiser-Darrin, rather than a common Kaiser. Both the Kaiser and Frazer were good looking cars for that era.
(p.s., I do not have a beard).
