In a recent post I commented that I would write a post on alter egos and fantasy figures as used by blog members:
Regular readers will know that Richard has a lot of these - in fact, if it wasn't for his alter egos, fantasy figures and imaginary friends he wouldn't get many comments on his blog posts. As Forrest Gump's Ma said - "Stupid is as stupid does".
Now I know that the unfair of you might point out that The Curmudgeons Inc.ⓒ has a lot of subsidiary characters but these are not imaginary friends. They are, in fact, extensions of The Curmudgeon's persona, created to assist readers in understanding the themes of the various posts. In addition each has it's own blog page.
Richard's motley crew* are nothing like this. They are merely the manifestation of a disturbed mind ....
... talking of which, Robert doesn't have a coterie of alter egos but he does refer, alarmingly and constantly to fantasy figures that he absolutely believes in. Here's a list of some of them (there are others:
- God
- Jesus
- The Holy Ghost
- The Virgin Mary
- Archangel Gabriel
- Archangel Michael
- His guardian angel
- Satan
- Various saints, mystics and charlatans.
It may be necessary sometime in the future to conduct exorcisms.
