[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to LOOOOVE Gene.  Witty, smart, excellent writer, self-deprecating.

And then, he dipped into Gross Old Man Territory about 5-8 years ago.  He and his wife got divorced and he started dating his very young coworker whom he'd mentored.  Vomit.  Such a cliche and just all around gross.  She is a similar age to his daughter.

Oh man, exact same, here!  I used to read his chats religiously, did the Post Hunt, huge Gene fan.  Then the divorce and he's just gotten sad and gross and obsessed with mentioning his girlfriend.[/quote]

I posted about this at the time. I'm a neighbor and I once saw him and his new girlfriend walking, and he had his hand in the back pocket of her jeans like a teenager.  :roll: I was always more friendly with the Rib (DH used to work with her) and their son. Gene has always been kind of a dick around women in our neighborhood.[/quote]
I remember you posting about his hand in her pocket! (unless more than one person posted about that). I don’t know why people care so much about who he dates. She’s a grown up. It never sounded like that was the cause of the marriage breakup. He used to always mention his wife, now he talks about his girlfriend. Who cares. I never found him funny but I like his longer articles and books, and miss the chats. I also think that the article, while not particularly funny, was meant to make fun of himself for not liking these foods that most people like (I believe he was unaware of how Indian food is often made fun of, because I didn’t actually know that until reading DCUM either. Most of my peers love it).[/quote]
