Aaron, I think this comment area on Marcus' one-entry blog should be our secret place to complain about Marcus behind his back. Only it's probably not that secret because it might notify him whenever we post a comment. Either way, you're right about the hairiness thing.
Hey guys, can I join your secret comment-on-marcus-behind-his-hairy-back group? I've only met him a couple of times, but I think the amount of hair he sports is attractive. Granted, I've not yet seen him riding his bike shirtless through the streets of the Bay area, but I like a guy who stops traffic.
Well, the secret's out. Marcus discovered our ranting spot. (He apparently does NOT receive comments as e-mails, however.) So, since it will probably be a while till he looks here again, let me just say: he left the oven on yesterday and didn't do his dishes, Saturday he deliberately walked around with his shirt unbuttoned to gross everyone out with his hairy self, and all winter long, he demands that the windows be open at all times, lest the house start smelling (of course only his hyper-sensitive nostrils notice anything). So even if it's winter and he's at work and the heat is on downstairs, he still wants the windows open. Still a pretty cool guy, though.
P.S. Oh yeh, and he keeps trying to tell me that I didn't like Angle of Repose when I read it, even though I'm positive that I did. I think I would know.
you guys are dumb for dissing marco. Why not talk about all the wonderful qualities he has. For example, how he is ten times smarter than you, and focuses on the goodeness in others around him.
Marcus is the worst scientist I know! I mean, seriously, who goes to work for eight hours a day only to surf the internet and do crossword puzzles for six and a half of those hours? What a lazy bum!
the reason he is so much more of a good person than me is because he doesn't do things like this. and he can afford being a horrible scientist because he is actually 20 times smarter than me. let's not shortchange his genius.
i agree, he should spend some time blogging about his views of the world.
or better yet, commentaries on each one of the dates he goes on, whether or not she thought she was actually on a date, and despite how many other males were present. i always enjoyed those conversations; i think everyone else would too.
Like just this weekend. There was a ten-minute period in which, by chance, me, Marcus, and two girls were the only people in a room. What an awesome double-date! Marcus is the best wingman ever.
Wow, after reading the latest comments I realized something rather exciting...I've been on a date with Marcus, too! I can't remember everything we did, but we spent a whole night together. I offered to give him a kiss if he needed to prove his heterosexuality, but he didn't take me up on it. I guess once a wingman, always a wingman. If only he'd recognize his true pilot potential.
Here are the top ten reasons I love Marcus with my whole soul. I could write more, but I'm at work.
1. Even though he mentioned more than once that dinner last night was not a double date, I still had fun on our double date. 2. Who else do you know that you can refer to as "The Hoff"? 3. He Bics his head spur of the moment and takes it like a man when people say "Marcus, your head is all bloody and red." 4. He's not shy when it comes to letting strangers wax his back. 5. He's the best FHE cochair ever and carries out all of my ridiculous requests. 6. In the span of an hour, he'll go from saying "I want to die" and mostly meaning it to happily playing "Firepants" or jousting with Institute couch pillows. 7. He doesn't get embarrassed when I tell people the first memory I have of him is that he cried to me about a tragic choir performance. 8. He wears corduroy suits. 9. He listens to my dad's stories...a lot. 10. MWT I and MWT II...many reasons here, but perhaps the best is Marcus will sew elf costumes late into the night.

i guess liz intimidated us all with her astoundingly accurate and beautiful observations. i'm glad marcus is my friend because he understands my love for fruits and vegetables. i was oohing and aahing over an apricot earlier this week, and aaron said "who cares?" my response: "marcus does!" p.s. marcus-- they made the world's biggest fruit salad in peru this week. where were you?

garret, have you seen that jacket that marcus used to wear? I mean, wow, 1986 called and wants its denim letterman jacket back.

strawberry rhubarb pie to die for.
It's like celery pie, only red.

Hey I think Marcus is fantabulous. He is a very good son. I wouldn't mind seeing more on his blog.
