You say you are the real Skimpole, but you could be like Uncle Ira!
But I, being the real Skimpole, would remember that in the Spoilers thread whose posts have vanished I was referring to a movie (a) where a protagonist recognizes a chauffeur as one of the heavies he encountered earlier in the movie, and gets on a motorcycle to pursue him (b) the cover of a Sam Cooke song plays over the credits (c) the romantic couple in the movie later married, had children, and divorced (d) the protagonist in (a) is a member of a reasonably well respected comedy troupe and (e) the actor who plays the grocery manager appeared in three Altman films, two of them fairly well admired even today.
I do hope that you will tolerate a small amount of incredulity but I find your contention slightly askew as I never truly believed that: 'skimpole' was 'real' in the traditional sense. More like a dream fairy who appears out of nowhere to sprinkle bon mots and bits of wisdom onto our dreary lives.
