Meet Clyde (Introductionary Post by Darselo)

The origins of Clyde begin somewhere in the head of my brother, Dren. Clyde would say his origins are in Clyde, Ohio, but the rest of us know that's just where his roots are. Clyde is my brothers imaginary friend who has acheived amazing recognition and popularity for an insubstantial person. To my absolute astonishment, people in Dren's class not only tolerated, but actually encouraged the concept of imaginary friends, Clyde in particular. I understand there was a certain spiked egg nog incident that has gone down in the books, and most skiiers and snowboarders know that Clyde is responsible for all bouncing and most of the stopping of ski lifts. It didn't take long (a single marking period of a literature class) for Clyde to be joined by a motley crew of characters (which would be Roscoe, Jack, Justin, Phil, and of course Dren is in on it too) and be a part of enough strange happenings to star in a writing assignment on his life. And then another, and another. Which brings us to the purpose of this blog: to spread the knowledge of Clyde and all other invisible friends to the world. So, meet Clyde, and if you turn your head approximately 87 degrees to the left, meet your own invisible friend.
