I thought, for a brief bit, that thenewgreen was standing in the same line as me at the gas station the other day. In profile, the resemblance was uncanny. I was going through a mini dialog in my head and decided that on the off chance it was him, I'd stop him as he was heading out and asked if he ever heard of an obscure band named "The New Green." If it was, I'd tell him who I was, make a comment on how small the world can be when we least expect it, and maybe offer to exchange numbers.

As soon as the guy turned around and I could see his face from straight on, it was quite clear that it wasn't him. Oh well.
