Frasier Crane in Blackface

One of my so called friends read my recent blog entry and was amazed that I dared to play Bring Me To Life at a bar in Barbados.

Another so-called friend helpfully explained that this was quite in character for me, and reminded her that “he took a kindle in a bar and sat and drank red wine while reading... he is Frasier Crane in blackface.”

Well I never.

My blackness has been called into question in a variety of ways over the years with labels from Oreo to coconut. But this has got to be the most inventive so far. I actually kind of like it though. Well done Alan!

So let me respond with my best Frasier Crane impression. Ahem.

At Cornell University, they have an incredible piece of scientific equipment known as the "tunneling electron microscope." Now, this microscope is so powerful that by firing electrons, you can actually see images of the atom, the infinite decimally minute building block of our universe. Alan, if I were using that microscope right now, I still wouldn't be able to locate my interest in your opinion.

Sigh. I suspect Alan might be right. Maybe I am basically Frasier Crane in blackface.

But at least he didn't call me Black Frasier, which somehow would have been much worse.
