You got to Recognize by help im a bear
November 15th, 2007 8:17 PM2) I slouch severely. When I stand up straight, I am a robust 5'8''. Normally, however, I slouch down to about 5'4''.
3) When I laugh or sneeze, it comes out piercingly high and loud. My sneezes have been known to silence a crowded city bus before.
4) I constantly tap out rhythms with my hands and feet in unusual time signatures (7/8 and 11/8 are the most common)
5) I almost always have a worn deck of cards on me, which I take out and shuffle. When I'm alone, I will deal out bridge hands and proceed to bid and play them.
6) If two, three, or four of some random appropriately-sized object are at hand, I will start juggling them.
7) I eat really, really quickly. I have completed a four-egg omelet in under three minutes before, and a full bowl of pasta in under one (the bus arrived while I was carrying it, and exposed food is not allowed. So I ate it while in line to get on). It's not normally because I'm racing or anything, though, I just eat that fast.
8) I sigh a lot. It usually doesn't have anything to do with my mood; I just breathe like that.
9) I have a stammer that comes and goes. Lately it's been in hiding, but I have no doubt it will return soon.
10) This one's gross. I bite my nails and then floss with the bitten-off bits. At least it promotes dental health, right?

no, i tend to go 2-2-3.
most common pattern:
eighth eighth EIGHTH 16th 16th eighth EIGHTH eighth.
I know that looks like 2-3-2 but it's syncopated in my head.
I floss with my broken off nail bits as well.
So you need to train regular people to distinguish between 3-2-2, syncopated 2-2-3 and proper 2-3-2. Audio-proof perhaps? I mean, "well, the guy is juggling stuff, sneezing loudly and carrying a deck of cards everywhere, but I am not sure-sure....". Audio proof of the sneeze would be cool too.
Well, one problem with audio proof of the different metric divisions is that, without context (such as bar lines or melody), they all sound alike to outside listeners who don't have the benefit of being inside my head and knowing where I'm putting the measures.
The sneeze would be cool to have... though I feel that it will more likely just turn up uninvited in the middle of video or audio proof for some other task. I can't really do it on command :/
If I'm busy trying to document you in something and a sneeze comes up, I will personally edit the video or audio down to just the sneeze so you can add it to this praxis.
i don't think even the most dastardly perpetrator of the crisis would have the energy to undertake the learning of all of these idiosyncrasies :)
and btw, i'm a severe sloucher too; i go from 5'10 to about 5'6 on a normal day.
I can certify that not only are these habits good indicators, they appear to be long lived. Which leads us to one of a few conclusions. If perpetrators are impersonating Help, they are either very good or have been at it a long time. Furthermore, if they have been impersonating Help for a long time, then they are very strange indeed.
Is the card thing new since you started playing bridge?
Do you tap 7/8 accented 3-2-2? Because I do.
Good stuff.
