914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Has anybody here ever met Miles (redshift)?
Posted by: Qarl Feb 16 2005, 08:09 PM
Seriously... or is he the one "holy grail" of 914 club guys to finally get to meet?
I have see no photo evidence that he actually exists, with the exception of some old grainy photo involving spandex and Brian Setzer.
There were also some blurry photos he once posted with him partially reflected in the window of his 914. I remember that there was a building in the background. We were teasing him about being let out of the psych ward...
Wait... I found it...

Who is redshift??? 
Posted by: lapuwali Feb 16 2005, 08:17 PM
I remember a picture of him on a grassy knoll...
Posted by: Aaron Cox Feb 16 2005, 08:22 PM
i have spoken to him on the phone.....
Posted by: skline Feb 16 2005, 08:24 PM
No, you spoke to what you thought was Miles, he really doesnt exist, he is a bot like in IRC. Created by the Matrix to tease and mock you. That is all it is, just a bot!!!
Posted by: bd1308 Feb 16 2005, 08:26 PM
redshift is awesome!!!!
Posted by: ! Feb 16 2005, 08:26 PM
He's a myth..like Santy Claus.... 
I used the mythical telephone number...he never called me back....
Posted by: redshift Feb 16 2005, 08:27 PM
I was just speaking to SLITS about this very question.
I need to see more proof.
Posted by: Bleyseng Feb 16 2005, 08:28 PM
I am sure he is like Brad when you meet him, boring....
I just got thru reading the Hornet's Nest by Jimmy Carter, haha Savannah sure got shafted by the British in the Revolutionary War. Quite a story 'bout that whole part of the South during the War.

Miles is not a real person. he is a computer program that managed to escape for the IBM Labs during a lapse in security.
He roams the internet attaching himself to PHP.exe and hogging system resources eventually crashing the server.
Posted by: skline Feb 16 2005, 08:32 PM
I knew it was his fault the board went down!!!
Posted by: URY914 Feb 16 2005, 08:33 PM
Miles is my friend.
Be very careful what you say about him.

Is that what happened to the server last week? I thought it was Aliens. 
I may have met Miles once.
If I think I did I may have.

Thanks again, Paul.

I know what's going to happen...
1. Car will break down
2. Miles will forget and stand me up
3. Digital camera memory will mysteriously erase itself
4. I will get lost and end up in the backwoods of Georgia (hey... I might meet Jake!)
5. Rare earthquake will swallow up 10 miles of I-95 with me in it!

I have seen Miles. During a session with Madam Sensamia, I was transported via a Comet dressed in a purple robe to a place in a far off galaxy. Upon my arrival, I stood on a white sand beach, with a Galaxie parked nearby, and was approached by brilliant light, which later turned out to be the only working light on his teener, as the blue acrid smoke cleared, the sea was calm and reflected the cosmos as a faint chant was heard from the bushes...aroooooom....aroooom....arooom....damnit start.....arooooom....aroooom, while lighting a Cheech and Chong special, a puff of purple haze blew thru my brain washing the image in my mind in a whirlwind of cosmic dust I was born again a star child until I ran into the monolith and it started piercing my ears with a screech and saw a bone fly high in the air, tumbling thru the empty blackness, I was eating breakfast in the Howard Johnson's Starlight room, while the shroooms climbed off my plate and a pen floated in the air waiting for me to sign the contract for a new teener that was L69BE paisley and my black patent leather shoes reflected Miles's Fro as I shot a picture with my Oralrympic Accco Focus Camera and...........................

More thoughts...
6. I will pick up a random hitchhiker and it will be Alfred and I will never be heard from again
7. Aliens will abduct me and transport me to Mars
8. I will meet Miles and he will spontaneously combust
Posted by: redshift Feb 16 2005, 09:54 PM
Ok, now you fuckers are scaring me..

Aliens will abduct you and transport you to Duluth which will be as strange to you as Mars and maybe even colder.

One thing I can say about Miles, He has written nice words and shown empathy in PMs to me, and I am sure to Qarl also.
I hope he's real, not memorex.

I'm stuck.. I feel a tear... I don't know what to say, except for thank you.
Thank you all, for all the times, and the days, and I always look forward to sharing more times here, together.
I guess that's all there really is. Be safe, always, and I'll see you back here when you get home.

Miles is really rich and famous. After the show ended he couldn't step out of character, thus the reason for the mystery.

Miles is quirky, always entertaining, and above all else, a great friend (especially in the sandbox). He may not always make sense, but his heart's in the right place. I can't wait for the day I get to meet him!

Andy met him and tried to bite him, but Miles' natural defense mechanism made him taste bad

I don't know anything more than I have read on this Forum about the 'real' Miles.
I will add that I have always thought redshift was a fantastic screen name.

BTW they are finally making a Hitch hikers guide to the Galaxy

They actually have a hitch hikers guide, but it is old and British. Kinda goofy. I have the whole series, but it is not my deal. They were a gift.

I have actually met Miles several times. He's kind of a strange cat. Every time we have run in to each other he seems to find me. I'll never forget the first time. I woke up in the middle of the night and that goofy bastard was standing beside my bed just looking at me. Next thing I know I am waking up again and he's gone. This has happend 4-5 times over the last few years, and he has yet to actually say anything. He always just stands there looking at me. Seems like a nice guy just kinda weird. I think he may be shy because of his skin disorder,(sort of a grey elephant like skin)maybe that's why he doesn't go out in public much.Anyway feel safe meeting him. Gotta go now my butt hurts, he must have stopped by again last night and I missed him.If I crap another metallic gift I'll know it was him!

I think it's in his head. He just picks which voice to listen to, and starts typing.

How odd.
