Who am I?
 

When I log in to Fodors Asia board I see this: <i>Welcome Hanuman | Log Out

When I click to reply I see this: <i>Welcome dogster | Log Out </i>

So I type - then my reply disappears.

Am I Hanuman now? Does this mean I have to look after his wife, daughter and many debts as well?

Yes dogster take them all debt, wives.. opps wife and daughter!

Shame on you for stealing Hanuman's cookies.

Looks like Hanuman is giving them up freely - very generous.

Well, I know his wife is fine with it - in fact, I have her here with me now, tempted by the promise of fine dining at Gaggan.

Alas, the daughter has taken to her room, sobbing. I can hear her now:

'Do-o-on't give to Mister Dogstarg-h-h-h, Daddy...'

Too late, girl.

LOL

For a brief moment I was qwovadis as well! Have you ever seen his profile page? QW has a picture of himself crawling on the ground and then he rotated it to make it look like he's climbing a cliff.

Hi everyone,

This is very strange indeed. I'm sending this to our tech team to see if we can figure out this identity swap problem. Will keep you posted.

I'm almost disappointed to discover that I'm still Kathie this morning.

Is it because of being the 29th of FEB? Like a Friday the 13th, or end of the century.... Computers are going crazy.

I'm still ME... drat! I wanted to be lcuy!

You and Pook must be on that LIST......

I share Kathie's disappointment. Imagine waking up as the dog or rhkkmk......maybe not a good thought first thing in the morning,lol

Aloha!

I am still Hanuman. I must be. It says I am - <i>up there</i> Well, truth be known, more a Hanumongrel.

There's still that strange howling coming from the room next door...

'Do-o-on't give me to Mister Dogstarg-h-h-h, Daddy...'

Earlier, I had her freeze-dried in liquid nitrogen at Gaggan to shut her up. She seems to have thawed.

i can never picture hanuman doing all those dark things that dogster does... well on 2nd thought...

Amy_D I've noticed your superhero emblem "M" next to your username which I assume stand for "Moderator". For Doug_Stallings it's an "F" so what does that stand for? Perhaps it's ranking in the organization chart or grades?

OK I see it now. You must have very fast connection and processor as it took a few seconds before the explanation came up on my computer. Thanks!

I am still Hanuman when I log in - and sometimes for quite some time thereafter. If this message appears, I have reverted to dog.

Hi Hanuman - if you hover your mouse over the icon, you'll see the meaning. The Fodor's "F" has not changed and still signifies that the user is a Fodor's editor."M" is for moderator, "C" is for correspondent (or blog contributor), and "T" for tech. We decided to unveil new tags to give the community a better sense of our job titles and responsibilities.

Dogster, now I am getting my rather mild comment excised from this forum. I referred to a new comic book hero named MonkeyDog who barks and throws doo-doo at foes. I didn't use the s-word but did use something that rhymes with the plural of thesis. We'll see if they allow doo-doo.

Well as long as I don't morph into, well its best I don't say. :D

They seek him here,
They seek him there,
They seek him everywhere.
Be he from heaven or
Be he from hell,
He is the one they call
The Scarlet Pimpernel.

I'm afraid the dogster has been temporarily sideline by a bad fall, or a bar fight, and is now trying to find his way back to Oz.

Get well soon!

fall or he was pushed

Hope dogster finally got the message and insured his trip with www.insuremytrip.com and that his only injury is to that which preceedeth the fall.

Dogster, sorry to hear about your fall (or whatever it was that happened).... hopefully you'll be up and moving again soon.

Well, right now the only way I can read new posts is to write one. Why? An internet oddity restricted to my latest hotel. But I'm curious.

Ahh, now I see what's going on.

It's all true. I was caught in a cat-fight in a low-life den of ill-repute. One of the hostesses belted me and knocked me over, shrieking 'Pay me the money!'.

I was only there because a very sweet man I met on the street invited me up to his home for a sporting contest. I didn't know he meant a ping-pong tournament. Well, no prizes for guessing who won.

lol. I made all that up. I know you all live vicariously.

Actually, my medical drama was a lot less exciting. I was at lunch in a Korean place; a designarg-h-h-h hell hole with designargh-h-h-h tables with legs that stuck out in ways that a normal tableleg does not. Having eaten, I eased my way along the low seating and stood up.

Next thing I knew I was on the floor, my legs neatly trapped in the nexus between the bloody designarg-h-h-h table legs and the seat. The staff thought it was hilarious. I didn't.

I landed heavily on my side. No dogster arms to break the fall - just cerrrunch onto my ribs. I felt the crack.

One kind lad interrupted the hilarity. He helped me to my feet.

'You alri...?'

'No.'

I thought I'd got away with it. Nope. Two days later I sneezed. Yeeee-owww. The cracked ribs broke.

Now, I've broken ribs before - in Budapest. In fact, the occasion is captured on film: those of you with too much time on their hands can google 'Howling V' a werewolf movie of no repute at all, and watch my death scene - I do very good running-around acting - watch for when I hit the door]

So I know that only time can heal my wounds. Time and pain-killers. Well, I have both. Right now I'm at Tenface, hence the internet oddity. I'll go somewhere else tomorrow - or not.

I'll go back to Oz when I do. Soonish. When I can manage luggage and flights. Or not.

Poor tragic Dogster. Aro-o-o-o-o.

Sorry to read of your accident, although it is not as interesting a read as the dog pulling you into the Ganges. This story needs more embellishment. Seriously though, hope the pain killers work their magic and that you feel better soon.

I don't believe your 'real' story... hahaha... I think hanuman had something to do with it all. When you go touring with Blad you don't have these sorts of problems....

Hope you heal soon. Take care! And now perhaps you have some 'down time' to entertain us with what you've been up to for the last couple of months. Eh??

Oh, Dogster, I am so sorry and hope you feel better soon.

What's the Gloria Gaynor song?

'I will survive...'?

Well, probably I will. Right now I'm so dosed up on painkillers they could cut my leg off and I wouldn't notice. My spirits are fine - it's just my ribs that hurt. Even my pride didn't take a battering. Those of you know 'Absolutely Fabulous' should think of the many scenes where Patsy falls drunk out of her car. This was about the same image.

But it's probably a sign that I should go home soon - I've been on the road since October 17. That's almost five months. Egypt, Israel, Istanbul, Athens, Italy, Venice, Croatia, UAE, Mumbai, Kerala, Bangkok, Cambodia... and a few more places I forgot. I'm getting tired of eating out.

Will I write about it? Probably. Probably not. Dunno.

Wow. Sorry to hear of that fall dogster. I can sympathize. I fell on our icy driveway once and busted one as well. Teaches me to wear Adidas instead of boots I suppose but hey I was just going a few feet to my car. Well one foot too many I guess. Well take care and heal up. I would imagine a flight home would be a bit rough now anyway. :-)

Also what was so funny about that??? Some loonies there.

og, did you ever see the ab Fab when she fell in the grave? I hope u do write about your exploits... I check in on your blog from time to time and am occasionally rewarded with a few new snippets.....

OOOOWWWW! Sorry mate.

Sorry about the ribs. Definitely sounds like time for home and the keyboard.
