OK, today's the big day.

Arguing in front of the Lords and Masters of the highest court in the land, in a building opened in 1882 by Queen Victoria (Vicky, after 4:30 and if you were invited for gin and tonic.), it was...

No, wait. What the actual fuck?

Upon arrival, check in to see what court room our trial was assigned to, and goddammit, someone else's trial had ran over the scheduled number of days, and there was no court room in the grand old building available. Nope, were were now going to be arguing in the Marine Admiralty Courts building, or some such bullshit, a post WWII behoumouth with peeling paint and hallways that smell faintly like cat piss, it has all the charms of a fucking Wal-Mart.

Sometimes, life, she's not fair. Not fair at all.

And I was wearing my *good* blue jeans, too.

The courtroom was packed, and I'm sure it won't surprise you at all to learn that the crowd consisted entirely of my oppositions members of The Bar. Twenty-odd of 'em.

And one new face, I'd never seen before.

The Barrister.

The Barrister (always capitalized, even in speech, eh.) talks to the court, and never to the client. He comes from a group of Barristers that have their own Barristers Chambers corporation, and all the solicitors do all the work and put it all together, and then hire a Barrister to present it to the court.

He came over and introduce himself to me, managing to both look over the top of his half-rim glasses, and down his nose at me simultaeneously. He handed me a 64 page glossy full color brochure, with the month and year on it, for his Barristers Chambers corporation. Founded back in the 1700's sometime, there were 12 members of their Chambers, and when it came to Chancery court, they were the creme de la creme. He thudded a 400 page leather bound yearbook on the table as well. Engraved title, gold gilt edged, those puppies must have cost at least 500 pounds sterling each to produce. A note on the title page crowed that the bindings had been hand stitched.

"My bonaifides!" he boomed.

He patted me on the shoulder, and went over to his podium - he brought his own podium - and proceed to warm his voice up like an opera singer.

Now, here's where I normally would denigrate the man, his skills, and his choice of cravat and schooling. However, as he was getting ready, talking to the nearly two dozen lawyers and associates scurrying about arranging fucking stacks of file boxes (8 stacks in all, 6 boxes per stack, as they came in on hand trucks.), and generally making sure everything was ship shape, this now being in the Admiralty Courts building, and all; I was getting this weird, strange feeling.

It took me a while to recognize it, for I'd certainly never had it in the 25 hearings at Masters in Chambers preparing for this trial.

And then it dawned on me.

I wasn't the smartest person in the room.

He was.

That doesn't happen very fucking often, and this was particularly bad timing.

We all stood up, and the judge walked into the room.

Court was now in session.

To be continued...

Is it 100% sure, that we are talking to the "original" PoM here? I mean, if there is somebody out there who successfully took over PoM's identity over years, it is possible, we are talking to the copy right now? Some old GPG key to verify?

Let' s say Jesus M's theory is right and PoM=VJ=DEA. Would't it be possible for the authorities to fake PoMs arrest and let him work quitely on the SR bust? Even this posting from the guy who saw Thomas in jail then could be fake.

So why should he come back then? Another J.O.B.?

Yes, I can state with 100% certainty that it is indeed the original PoM.

Yeah, musta been about 10 years ago, smokes and his wife were doing the European tour, and had a few days in London. I drove my VW Sharan minvan down to the Surbiton train station to meet him late one afternoon. I was standing by a large, dark tan-brown wall looking for him, when I realized that I was standing about sternum height to a veritable fucking *mountain* of a man in a 3/4 length leather jacket. That jacket could have wrapped my mini-van up, with enough material left over to build a tee-pee and a couple of small tents for camping.

Along with his lovely wife, we skipped of to a local pub and spent about 8 hours going through various UK beers in alphabetical order, and ended up going back to my place for a final night cap, and to get them a car back into London city proper, and back to their hotel. Smokes noted on a post afterwards, that in the true cramped style of English flats, that he had a television in his bathroom that was larger than the one in my place. :laugh:

So yeah, smokes knows of what he speaks.

While there's not much going on up here in this thread, the PMs are flying fast and furious below the surface. There's lots of folks here who I've met IRL, and we're having a little reunion here.

Gadabout (PBUH) and I ended up in the same city for a few weeks, back when PG was still a going concern. We spent a few lazy summer afternoons sitting in a garage sipping beer, smoking weed, and generally solving the problems of the world. He hasn't posted here (yet), but we've exchange messages.

Way back in 2002 I met up with Munchy and his blushing bride, during that week of hell known as the High Times Cannabis Cup. It could have easily turned into one of the worst weeks of my life for all types of reasons, if not for Munchy's presence. We'd get together in the evenings and check out hole-in-the-wall places, and self-titrate with an amazing selection of various esoteric strains that beat the shit outta the commercial crap that was in the cup that year. (The H.O.G. deserved the win it got that year, but most of the 'winners' simply bought their awards, which is why the cup was such a farce.)

While I've never met Hax in person, we've exchanged enough arguments over the years that he'd call me out gleefully if he thought I wasn't really me, eh.

And then there's bentech. Goddamn bentech. Once, years ago, I believe it may have even been back in the overgrow days, we started to make some plans to get together. I was reminded reading an old thread here today of that, and unfortunately, we never did get a chance to meet up.

Not meeting bentech is one of my biggest regrets. I can only imagine the fun we'd have sitting on a beach drinking iced beer, smoking various strains grown on an undiscovered asteroid beyond the third moon of Jupiter, and solving all the worlds problems. With bentech around, I wouldn't be the smartest guy in the room, I assure ya. :rollitiup:

Then there's the person I miss the most, my grotto goddess, koda. koda, bless her soul, was old when I met her over 15 years ago, and through the years we'd helped each other over some rocky times, we had a more than special connection, and I miss koda so. :frown:

Anyways, my rambling point is that there are more than enough people here who have known me for ten to fifteen years, that the subject of my identity shouldn't really be an issue.

Also, where the fuck is Prawn Connery. I know he's retired 'n all, but I was hoping to at least say 'hi' to him. If anyone knows where he's kickin' about, drop him a line to get his ass over here.
