in which a beer bounty has been placed on my head

A reader from Balcobonds, NY has announced a contest for all those sociologists attending the Giants-Expos baseball game during our annual convention: a beer will be bought for the first person who has never before met me who successfully identifies me on the basis of the drawing of me provided in the sidebar of this webpage. This task will be made more difficult, I suspect, by the burgeoning West Coast popularity of JFW, which has led to a minor craze of persons changing their appearance to look more like me, including even the electrolysitic receding of hairlines and the surgical clefting of chins.
