[color=#000000ost_uid0]Just wondering cause there should be one for newbies to the forum who are totally confused by mentionings of a man in a top hat...

I've been reading the fivers for a LONG time (well the Trek ones) and I've never seen the man in the top hat pop up.

[color=#000000ost_uid0]No, he's peculiar only to the Forum, not to any fivers.

(Note: the operative word here being [iost_uid0]peculiar[/iost_uid0] )[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I think it mostly came about from the story threads. I have no idea what inspired it though (or John, who keeps dying for some reason).[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Last I've heard, [iost_uid0]Zeke[/iost_uid0] didn't even know about the Top Hat Man.

All I've got to say about that guy is: Ask Opium.[/colorost_uid0]

Oh and if you found this then that means you care so I'll tell ya something about me I have 3 dogs. Wait I already said that in another thread. Um I'm married to a man named Mark.
