Also, this person has a brother in the Bunnybrains, who I think I met at a party given by Scrabble nerds about five years ago, although maybe it was just one of his bandmates.

i've got no one, but once jon williams posted a thread about someone he knew, whose livejournal i recognized as that of a personal friend of one of my best friends. and then it turned out that my friend had heard of jon williams from that person (but didn't actually know him). crazy!

Beyond the obvious (Ned) and the obvious-that-no-one-knows-about (John Justen, seeing as we grew up together and were super best friends who had all the same classes, did all the same after-school activities, shared a music collection and had something like a 30% overlap in romantic interests/entanglements) there's the all-new revelation of giboyeux, who also went to my high school and has an older sister who graduated with the younger brother of one of my exes.

Jeez, I hate to burst Ken's psychic twin bubble, but I wasn't living in New Haven in the 80's. I was living in Connecticut in the 80's though! So, close enough. And I spent a lot of time in New Haven in the 80's. And I do love Mad TV and Jim Thompson and I do have 2 kids. And Wire. I love Wire. I mean, no offense to the Minutemen, but sheesh, no contest for me on that one.
