Trying to find your way around this place? Like most expositions, we offer a map: 
A couple months back, I had a piece published at The Walrus which kind of looked at brief encounters with famous people - you know, the type that I'm sure many of us had during the course of our academic careers.
One of the people listed was the time I bumped into Sir Francis Crick, and that it was notable because the cartoon actually threw off the "truthiness" to it.
Anyway, at the SCQ today, I've set the record straight, and doing so, hope to attract other stories and anecdote like this for publication there.
CRICK: Is that your Ford Escort?ME: Yes it is.
CRICK: It's in my parking spot. Can you move it?
ME: Yes, definitely. Sorry about that.
CRICK: No worries.
Read more, by checking out, "My Short Illustrious Collaboration with Sir Francis Crick," and I hope to hear from others with similarily amusing drinking type stories.
