Plain Banter

I did some vanity Googling the other day, to see where my name was appearing on the net these days. I found one pirate site that had one of my stories posted. I'll have to see what I can do about that, but few other interesting "Brian Plante" items jumped out at me.

Over here is a news story, titled "Bigamist's Murder Trial Begins" where some other Brian Plante puts in an appearance:

Addressing jurors, Youngs said that as the attempted murder trial of Joanne neared in the fall of 1991, Harnois, awaiting trial at the ACI, was so desperate to silence Tammy that he unsuccessfully solicited at least three people to kill her, including his pregnant daughter, Celeste, 18. He also tried her boyfriend, Brian Plante, and a heroin addict named "Billy" who absconded with $5,800 Harnois paid him.

Apparently that Brian Plante didn't kill Tammy. I guess we Brian Plantes are mostly a law-abiding bunch. Then there's this item, with a totally different Brian Plante:

Brian Plante of Poplar Grove couldn't believe the fight he had to put up on the banks of Swift Creek Reservoir. "It lasted a good 45 minutes," Plante says. "I had an undersized hook, a light leader, and I kept having to readjust the drag. Finally, I got him to shore, and just when I did, the line snapped." Plante is talking about the 37-pound, 8-ounce flathead catfish he caught on October 16.

Yeah, that's not me, either. The only fish I ever caught, I caught at PETsMART in a plastic bag, and now I have to clean up the fishpoop in my tank every week.

Then there's this. It's another legal brief:

COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN CENTER MINISTRIES, INC. and IN-REL ACQUISITIONS, INC., Appellants, v. BRIAN PLANTE and VICKY PLANTE, as natural parents and guardians of JADE PLANTE, a minor...

The son, Jade, got hurt and the parents Brian & Vicky Plante are suing. But what I find interesting here is this Brian Plante named his son Jade. As in Jade Plante. Which is, um, a fairly common succulent than many indoor gardeners keep in a sunny window. I would no more name a son Jade Plante than I would name a daughter Rose or Heather. But maybe that's just me. Me, Nuke Plante.

Plain Banter . . . lies about science fiction, and everything else. When the writer becomes the center of his attention, he becomes a nudnik. And a nudnik who believes he's profound is even worse than just a plain nudnik. -- Isaac Bashevis Singer
