UPDATE #2:

I am the biggest geek alive, and he is too fucking funny. Had a great phone convo, ending with a plan for him calling me when he gets back from vacation, perhaps to go see a movie or something. The crux: he's 39 years old. Yes, that is 14 years older than I will be in two weeks, and well above my previously established "upper limit." Also, nefariousness. But still, highly fun person. Meh... he probably won't call, anyway.
