Meeting “The Man” had been on my bucket-list for a long time. This picture says it all.
Evo said:Very nice dl!
DiracPool said:That's non-alcoholic beer btw, right?
This should help.Medicol said:Actually it doesn't say anything to me, except two skinny persons (young and old) are advertising liquors and physics forums T shirts.
Come heather my faithful proselytizer and I’ll show you the way. :DDiracPool said:Dlgoff is a shameless physics proselyte, doing his proslytism wherever he sees fit.
I hope you do. What a good leader we have. The story of his creation of PF is very inspiring to me and will be to many future PFers I'm sure. And to have a brew with him ... wow.lisab said:Very, very nice :)! I'd like to get this same thing crossed off my bucket list, too!

The guy on the left is Greg, he created PF. We refer to him as Lord And Master. On the right is Don, a beloved, longtime PFer:DataGG said:Also interested.. Is any of them supposed to be a famous physicist or something?
Really ? Ohhh this is the first time I see Greg. Many people are afraid to be seen in public. So he doesn't look like an online gamer :D.lisab said:The guy on the left is Greg, he created PF. We refer to him as Lord And Master. On the right is Don, a beloved, longtime PFer:

Check out this one.Medicol said:Really ? Ohhh this is the first time I see Greg.
Anyway he is not a big eater.Enigman said:I assumed he looked like Galileo. Oh wait...that's Astro.

I'm not sure who posted this said:Waging war on Crackpot tyranny, Spacemites, and Incrulouses, the last Battlestar Captain, Greg, leads a ragtag, nerdly crew, on a lonely quest—in a shining place, abbreviated as PF.
Thank you for clearing that up. I had no idea what the hell that picture was about. It certainly doesn't look anything like the last picture that I saw of him some 10 years or so back when I first joined here. He seems to have lost weight and partially "unnerded" himself.lisab said:The guy on the left is Greg
So you thought Greg was an old man?Danger said:Thank you for clearing that up.
No. I thought that he was young, geeky, and pudgy.dlgoff said:So you thought Greg was an old man?![]()
Being young and geeky is how I recognized him when arriving at the Wisconsin Science Festival. :)Danger said:No. I thought that he was young, geeky, and pudgy.
You do know he's married, right?Danger said:But he's not pudgy any more.![]()
You do know I'm straight, right?dlgoff said:You do know he's married, right?

I'm actually probably well over 25,000. Posts in GD, where I spend most of my time, aren't counted.RonL said:Almost 10,000 post
I think they are now:)Danger said:I'm actually probably well over 25,000. Posts in GD, where I spend most of my time, aren't counted.
I've said "something"RonL said:you should have said something
Danger said:I've said "something"on hundreds of occasions. I have been reprimanded for it frequently. One of the ladies here just recently forgave me for a comment from almost a year ago.
Not in the way that you might think. It was obvious that you were joking about me not proclaiming straightness (and really, why should anyone do so other than to tweak Diggoff?); but I can only go by someone's post count to judge their activity, so I just figured that you were doing likewise. I have no sense of time (literally; my parietal lobe doesn't work) so I have no idea how long I've been here, let alone you, without looking up the stats. (Now that I know you're a long-timer, it makes me even a bit more worried than normal that you omitted the verb in the sentence about what you have been seeing me doing since 2006. Remember that a lot of it wasn't my fault. For a six month stretch, Lucy took over typing for me and some stuff was mistranslated. (I posted photographic proof right here, lest you doubt me.) Although she types in English, she still thinks in Cat, and sometimes chooses the wrong equivalent word.RonL said:I hope you didn't take it that I was serious
The term "The Man" on your bucket list likely refers to a person or experience that holds great importance or meaning to you. It could be a celebrity, a mentor, or simply someone you admire.
The truth behind your meeting with "The Man" will depend on your personal experience and perspective. It is important to approach the meeting with an open mind and to be honest with yourself about your expectations and feelings.
Absolutely. Our expectations and perceptions can often differ from reality. It is important to keep an open mind and to not place too much pressure on the meeting to live up to a specific idea or image.
To make the most out of your meeting, it is important to be prepared and to have a clear understanding of your goals and intentions. Be respectful, listen actively, and be open to learning and growth.
If your meeting doesn't go as planned, it is important to remember that it is just one experience and does not define your worth or the significance of your bucket list item. Reflect on the experience and try to find the positive aspects, and consider reaching out for support from friends or loved ones.
