DISQUS

When I lived in Pennsylvania, I once got a call late at night from a guy in Burbank. He asked if Floyd was there, so I said "This is Floyd". He started talking about all kinds of animation stuff. He went on and on about the early days at Hanna Barbera, projects he had worked on at Disney, and all kinds of stuff like that. Then he invited me to lunch the next day. I had no idea who this guy was. I finally said "I'm sorry, do I know you?"

He thought I was Floyd Norman! He looked up a phone number by doing a Google search for "Floyd" "Animation" "phone number". I knew just enough about animation to carry on a conversation with the guy. We both laughed about it, and then he hung up, quite embarrassed.
