Once upon a time, if you wanted to find someone you’d lost touch with, you’d hire a private detective. In 2007, the first answer my friends and I came up with for this same task was: “Start a FaceBook Group!” That having been said, where the hell is Peter Grumme – a.k.a. Gummer?
Many people who visit this site won’t have any clue, or give a sweet frickin’ tweet, who Gummer is. Simply put, he’s a diamond geezer whom a lot of people would like to get back in touch with. In the age of FaceBook, and it’s fervent Canadian following, not being able to locate him is extremely frustrating.
I’m writing about this today because there are currently next to no hits in Google for Pete’s name. If he, or someone he knows, performs a related query anytime soon they’ll undoubtedly find this post, the FB group and then – salvation. Come home, little shaggy lamb.

- Facebook Applications That Don’t Lick Monkey Taint. Facebook is an incredible website. The fact that it blew the frig up the same year I moved back to Canada was extremely serendipitous as I’ve mentioned before. I have gotten back in touch with kids I haven’t seen since 1986, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Two months ago, Facebook opened their doors to 3rd [...]...

Um…are you in that picture Mr. Pye? Man, you got big ones to post that picture of yourself!
That photo was taken at my 24th birthday party in Guelph. We had the top floor of Van Gough’s Ear all to ourselves, and as you can imagine – it was a little frickin’ nutty.
It’s also the only picture I have of Gummer. So let’s rub some nuts.
Dave, few people can say they look better 10 years after graduating college. You’re definately one of them…
Word on the street is that you found your long lost buddy – give us an update! Was it the romantic reunion you longed for? Was there lots of tongue involved?
I lived and worked with Pete in Alberta, I have left the town now and would love to get in touch with him again.
I can tell you where I think he works if you like.
