I went to pick up a sack of MO from the LHBS a week ago......
Now, Tom, the LHBS owner is an old guy. I call him "Old Senile Tom" when he is looking the other way or if nobody is listening. Anyway, I called in with my order, and he seemed to remember me.
I went to pick up the order, and once again he noticed my English accent (I'm an English hillbilly, but without the hills) All of a sudden, I noticed that he thought I was someone else. He explained his confusion by saying that he thought I was some other English guy that lives nearby. He said that this other guy has the same accent as me. Now that sounds a bit odd to me, as everyone around here saw Crocodile Dundee in the '80s and think that all Limeys are Australian.
Anyways, Senile Old Tom tells me about this other English guy that brews beer and has the exact same accent as myself. I am thinking, give me my fooking malt Tom! he tells me that this other English guy buys the same malt as me. Give me my fooking malt, Tom! He then asks me for my phone number so that he can give it to this other Limey.......I'm thinking that Tom is confusing me with myself.
I see a day in the future when I walk into Tom's store and he hands me my own phone number and suggests I phone myself so that I can get together and share a brew.
I could be wrong. Are you an Englishman that lives near Clyde, OH?
