It’s no surprise Naus is popular with many “chicks” on this forum, and probably more than a few despise him too. Now that the cat is out of the bag, so to speak, I confess that there is one chick who dearly loves him. Incase it’s not obvious, that chick is me. I have a bachelor's degree now, and I’m working toward my masters in art. That would not have happened except for Naus. He tutored me through two terms of required mathematics and science courses. I even took an elective statistics class. I didn’t just pass these classes, I aced them!
Naus is accomplished in many of the arts too. His knowledge in literature and music are particularly astonishing. Once I told him I had a research term paper for an art history class due in less than 10 days. Two days later he sent me a 12-page outline comparing and contrasting Dadaism and kitsch art in general and specific forms. His details and annotations were so well defined I finished the term paper in five days. I could have finished in four, except uncontrollable laughter came upon me because three of the pages were written in his LancelotLink persona that included detailed contrasts of the banana daiquiri-drinking chimps to the beer-drinking gorillas, along with human Buddha-bellies as a control group. My professor, who is very allergic to giving an “A” to anyone, gave one to me along with an accolade of excellence. (I still made only a “B” in the class though)
As you may have guessed by my avatar, my favorite of his personas is Lancelotlink.
But whether LancelotLink, Nauseated, the Toll-collecting Troll, or his many other personas –many of which are unknown on here, he is my dear friend and I love him and miss him dearly.
