Bill Brasky is the SNL version of "Waiting for Godot" . . . and before we run on that particular trail:
Both are characters that many people know, many people talk about, many people reminisce over, but do not make an appearance in the scene themselves.
Stan, like many people, was here to enjoy discussing woodworking - particularly from the Japanese philosophy. He was here for a time, had strong opinions (like so many), made some dear friends - stepped on several toes . . . and life goes on. He's still in Japan working, but doesn't come around these virtual parts anymore. And that's all I have to say about that.
