I'm glad you turned up at the Convention, but sorrow you ended up on the floor twice, I think it was Jane's fault, she was tripping everyone up all evening. I did spot you in your tax and thought how handsome you looked, but when I looked again you disappeared, that must have been when you fell Robert. I enjoyed your fun version of events here, love Dolly x

    Thanks, Dolly. I appreciate your comments. Jane was the problem.

Interesting tidbit. I didn't know Bob Dylan's birth name was Robert Zimmerman. I'd say you went from one hurricane to another, the way some of the attendees described it. I did like your outfit. Some of the accounts were a little outrageous, I thought. I like that you kept yours limited. It was hard to bring all the members Rachelle had in her chapter. Great account. I don't drink much either. Maybe one glass of something or other on special occasions. judi

    I was never asked about the name until I published my writing. 0ver the years I have probably been ashed about the name a half dozen times. I always wondered what happened to Mr. Flynn. 😁

Hmm, Interesting short chapter in the multi-book. it is well crafted and edited. Are you sure you don't want more content, where your character. you, get into more serious things, than falling?

This is the funniest most concentrated version I've read and I laughed all the way through, particularly when you were face-planted on the floor a second time. Your attire was wonderful, far too sophisticated for this occasion but you clearly made an effort which should have afforded you greater respect from your fellow Fanstorians. That was not the case so you did the next best thing and confused the hell out of them with your doppelganger disguise. Hilarious! Thank you Robert! You've made my evening! Debbie

    Hey Debbie.
    I am thrilled by your comments. It makes me happy when someone tells me they enjoyed reading something I've written. Just remember: I'm the real Robert Zimmerman... just not that one.

    Just call me ZIM or Z (quicker to type)

    Will do, Zim!

HaHaHaHaHaHaHa!! This is hilarious! (Are you the REAL Robert Zimmerman. What a question!) I actually think I'M going to start laughing at my own jokes; that way, at least SOMEONE's laughing at them. (Is that how you got started doing that?)

Tell me, have you ever had loganberry seltzer? A Jewish deli my (92)-year-old former JCC boss and I visit for lunch every Friday serves that, and my friend raves about it. (I've tried it once, and it was good, but I'm a calorie-counter and don't like to waste mine on beverages.)

Robert, thank you SO very much for contributing to this book with your special brand of wry humor. I enjoyed this from beginning to end.
xoxoxo

    I hope it was suitable. My normal short stories are Fables with morals and in my flash fiction I try to make sure there is a HOOK. I try to follow the Kurt Vonnegut "8 rules of writing."
    Thank you for your great comments.
    I don't drink calories but have not tried Loganberry. I will try to find some. All I drink is seltzer and black coffee.
    I didn't want this to be corny, but I do have that tee shirt and on my profile page you can see another of my favorite tee shirts. I really have gotten those comments before. I'm very proud of my line , "He just thinks he's Robert Z." HAHAHA That cuts two ways.

    Robert
reply by Rachelle Allen on 30-Oct-2024
    Yeah, that's a really good line, indeed! Ditto for the t-shirts. I bet you get lots of comments. xo
reply by Rachelle Allen on 30-Oct-2024
    Oh! And I just remembered something: it's not a loganberry seltzer; it's a loganberry phosphate.

    I was at the grocery store last week with the tee on and the clerk started laughing right away. I looked at him and said, "See." Then I laughed.
reply by Rachelle Allen on 30-Oct-2024
    There you go! And just like that you're no longer just another customer; you're "that fun guy with the t-shirts that make you laugh." Smart!

    My other favorite is:
    Sometimes I amaze myself.
    I get a lot of laughs with that one.
    I'm very happy you enjoyed the chapter.
