once you get to know him!

But he has been going out of his way to not let anyone know him for the last 56 years. He has had moments where it almost got away. A private detective in the 1980s came pretty close to knowing him during a murder investigation.

Fortunately, Bob knew the private eye (who was a nice, fun, easy-to-blackmail person once you got to know him), and the situation was resolved.

There was another person who got really close. FBI Agent Steve.

Steve was hot on Bob’s tail for ages! And once internet tracking became what it is now, Steve thought this was his moment! This is where he would finally get to know “Crime suspect 369-AQ-24”. But alas, it was not meant to be. Bob had created a Facebook profile under the pseudonym Bobby throwing Steve completely off. No one else ever came close.

Until Today

Me: “Jamal,”…He told me his name was Jamal. “Why don’t you ever talk about your life before coming here to Kathmandu?”
Jamal: “Wolf,”…I told him my name was Wolf. “I don’t want to be a really nice person. The pressure is real once that happens”
Me: “But Jamal, you already are a nice person!”
Jamal: “Yeah, but I ain’t REALLY nice. That’s too much pressure. What if it does not suit me!”
Me: “Wow, I’m really getting to know you better today Jamal!”
Jamal: “Gosh Dangit! That was not my intention! Ugh! You have doomed me! I hate you Wolf. I hate you with all my heart! You might as well know that my name is Bob.”
Me: “…”
Bob: “Anyway, off to go live with this fucking curse and be nice and shit to people. Ugh. Dick!”

And that’s how I got to know Bob. And surprisingly, he was pretty average once you got to know him.
