Patrick enjoys perpetuating his own enigma on these boards. Is it time he coughed up a photo?

Yes, let's see if he really is a George Hamilton look-alike 11 (46%)

No, let him remain a mysterious hermit 13 (54%)

I voted yes, but maybe the fun would be gone if i knew. Reading through his numerous posts, he doesnt come close to revealing any personal emotions. Everything is spoken in the matter of fact way.
Perhaps, he is a celebrity?

Ben Kenobi was the hermit...
Obi-wan was the one who ran around the galaxy on foolish missions!!!
And let Patlers keep his air of mystery!!!
I can't believe the yes vote is behind.
Are you logging on under false names, Pats?

When exactly are you going to be here? I'm going to be away for a bit.
I'm not Patrick Duffy. Whoever he is.
No one at NOOL has ever met me.
I like to think of him as a mysterious man. For some strange reason I keep imagining him as a very pale and rather tall person. Beautiful manners!

Perhaps you're hermit-like as far as your presence on these boards goes. In that no one has ever met you, despite your longevity here. I apologise if it connotated negatively Pats, it certainly was intended to be light-hearted.
I doubt one can perform your line of work without consistent levels of human interaction. Oops, did I say too much.

I voted for him to remain mysterious.Although i was calling for him to reveal himself just a few days ago.But ive changed my mind.Mysterious it should stay.Thats how he wants it and we should respect his wishes.
And i`d like to add here that i think his politeness and charm are delightful.He even said to me "give your mum our best wishes" on Sunday.

For me, Patrick can stay "invisible". It's good that some here retain a bit of mystery about themselves, I can understand why some go for that. Besides, he's been here longer than me, and his threads with Huntsman were one of the things that kept me coming back; short, witty and always written in a calm, collected manner. In fact, I'm trying to remember now if Patrick has ever used a "smiley" in any of his posts?
Yes i sooooo admire the way he writes.So calm , controlled and yet very witty.Guess that comes with being an old bugger eh?

I think smilies are below him.And good on im for that!

has he ever used an exclamation point in one of his posts?
Tricky to do, but I solicited one from him quite recently.
The guilty pleasure of conversing with Pats is seeing if you can actually work him into a state of sheer frenzy, to the point where he'll do something radical like use an exclamation point.
I've also seen a spelling mistake or two but again, they're collectors' items.
As outrageous as it may sound, I've also witnessed a smilie in the past. But I think it was just an experimental phase for him. Think he's of the school that believes using a smilie is a bit of a cop-out, why use one when you can get creative with words? Moreover, not using one helps to perpetuate a sense of ambiguity in his thoughts. eg. 'Is Pats being ironic here or does he really believe this stuff?' It all adds to his enigma. Which he quite enjoys, I expect.

A 'no' vote from me, even though I'm just as curious as everyone else. Why ruin the illusion? It would be like reading a book, let's say 'Patriot Games' and then years after watch the film and say - that's not right, that's not how I imagined him to be.
You're really stuck on this idea of Pats as a Harrison Ford-type figure aren't you?
Not sure how accurate the resemblance is but I've heard he's quite handy with a whip.

As DC noted, I have occasionally ventured into the world of smilies, sometimes going so far as to post a reply containing nothing else.
But in general, I do try to avoid them.
Thanks again for your generous comments.

Glad to see you appear to have recovered from your disappointment at my failure to deliver an appropriate bit of oratory at the 5000 post mark.
Only about 3-4 times I think.
I've seen H pull it off too on occasion too. You have to be quite astute to detect it. It's all about subtleties with you.
A personal favourite was the time you were blowing exasperation out of your ears trying to solicit my preferred pizza topping.

Thank you, LE. I don't have any plans to be in Boise in the near future, but I will certainly keep you in mind if my travels take me in that direction.
Hope all's well with you.
Have you been avoiding Boise all these years, Pats?
Apparently there's an interesting Discovery Centre there which ranks #3 on the list of attractions in the area.
Perhaps you might head through there one day and drop in for a snack with LE?

Looks like travel agent DC has it figured out, P. You can tie your trip into NO's gig here next fall. I'll forward you a lodging brochure with rates, meal times, Discovery Centre hours, etc...

Perhaps one day she'll remember what she's missing (free admittance to the Discovery Centre) and return.
I believe P to be older than 28. He is too wise (e.g. love for LMA off PC&L) to be so young. I'd have him clocking in at right about 35 or 36.

No, the proper spelling is Center. I just didn't want anyone involved in the discussion to think we were talking about two different locations. However, we do have a Boise Centre on the Grove (not Groove, DC), as well.
You are welcome to visit our state anytime, DC. I'll figure out what the other top two things are to do before your visit. We can try not to do them all in one day.

It's American for "beers and potatoes". The beers are cold and the potatoes are french fries.

DC, you need to get a job here with the Chamber of Commerce or the Visitor's Bureau. The greenbelt follows along the Boise river for about 15 miles. If you like to run, bike, or roller blade and not have to dodge cars in the process then it's the thing for you.
No real gimmicks to attract visitors. The college football team's field is blue turf. Maybe that rings a bell with some sports fans out there. I'll leave the rest of the surprises for those who want to see the city for themselves.

No offense would be taken, and if it was then they are shallow people who should be more open minded to the eating preferences of visitors. The eastern part of the state is where the bulk of potato growing takes place, so you're likely safe with regard to that around here.
However, if you did not order a sugar beet or some corn...

No offense would be taken, and if it was then they are shallow people who should be more open minded to the eating preferences of visitors. The eastern part of the state is where the bulk of potato growing takes place, so you're likely safe with regard to that around here.
However, if you did not order a sugar beet or some corn...
Where have you been all this time, LE? You're full of laughs.

that wasnt very hard.Usually when people make their first visits to the states it is to NY.
And then it's off to Idaho.
I was well into double figures before I entered that state.
How do you explain that one?

You should enlighten me about Australia. For example, which loser is INXS going to select as their new singer?

I thought someone living in Australia was more likely to visit the West Coast. However, I then recalled DC has mentioned he used to live in Engerland.

Imagine, LE, what it could do to your state economy if you could just convince 0.01% of those passers-through to spend one night in Idaho?
You could build seven or eight Discovery Centres.

Thank you, LE. I don't believe so. My point was simply to remind DC that this was not the first occasion on which he had an opportunity to observe your talents and abilities.

You have a great business mind, DC. Unfortunately the freeway that goes across the southern part of the state doesn't offer much until you reach Boise. Perhaps Jonathan was already well-rested from a night in Salt Lake City, which I hear you can get plenty of sleep in.

I was in Denver two summers ago for my sister-in-law's wedding. Wound up in a hospital in Littleton with a stomach ailment and missed the wedding. With that said, I didn't do much "touring".

Well Pats should be thrilled at the success of this thread. I just checked the stats and it's gone to number one again.
It may have turned out to be a bit of an old fashioned waffler of a thread but there were some good moments.
