This is Frat-on-a-Stick.

Fratberry (or "Frat", as he's known to his bridge club) has been a member of ZUG since mid-2003. He was most recently the "Funniest Person in the World" during the month of May in the Year of our Lord 2010. His physical make-up is comprised as follows; 20% Sarcasm, 15% Spastic Humor, 60% Feline Fur/Dander and 5% "Other Stuff." He is self-admittedly falling apart physically and will disappear on occasional migraine-benders, only to return with stories about pooping where people have died or walking two miles with blood clots in his legs just to obtain a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. He is a good friend and a funny mofo.
In the seven years I've been reading ZUG, I have met many people. Some I love, others I "have loved" (who HASN'T "loved" SHP?) and still others have annoyed the Shakespeare out of me. However, I have yet to have a beer with one of my favorites ... Frat.
In 2010, Frat was unable to attend the ZUG 15-Year Anniversary Celebration in Boston due to the fact that the FAA had deemed his entire person "Hazardous Materials" when he was stopped in the airport while carrying large quantities of high-powered prescription narcotics. He refused to share with the Air Marshall, and was denied boarding privileges. Despite the best efforts of his celebrity team of attorneys, the lawsuit was not settled in time and though everyone put on a good face, there was an empty Frat-shaped hole in the festivities.
In 2011, he was planning to attend a smaller gathering of ZUG regulars in New Orleans, Louisiana when disaster struck. His prize Himalayan Female, "Mrs. Snugglebottoms VI" came down with Mad Cat Disease and had to be put down.
He kept the news off our ZUG community (because he's not only a world-renowned biochemist, but also recognizes the difference between personal drama and comedy). However, he confided to me that providing grief counseling to "Miz Snugg's" forty-two offspring, while organizing funeral arrangements with the Cat Fancier's Society was not going to allow him to make the trip.
He offhandedly commented that he wished he had something ... oh, say a cardboard cutout, that he could send along with us. Something that we could glance at, and momentarily forget how empty our trip seemed without him yet again.
Upon hearing this, I hatched a plan. A beautiful, exquisite plan. I would bring Frat along. I would create...
Frat-on-a-Stick.
This is how he came about.
I got Frat to send me two hi-res photos of his face, one with an approving expression and one with a disapproving scowl, which I printed out and stapled to some cardboard.
From the start, Frat-on-a-Stick was a hit. What follows are his adventures throughout the night.

SHP and Mailman (and maybe some others) have photographic evidence of his exploits.
I don't remember taking pictures of Frat-on-a-stick, but if I did, it was with someone else's camera. And unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me when I woke up next to him on a shrimp boat in Mississippi.

I'm struck by the guy behind the column in the picture where Kchiki is giving the thumbs up. My first thought was that he's Mailman's twin or ghost. My second thought, based on the guy's expression, is that Frat-on-a-steek should be worried for his bumhole. Assuming, in my scenario, that Frat-on-a-steek has a bumhole.

Muriel's is a very snooty, hoity-toity type restaurant and they were non-plussed about having Frat-on-a-Stick visible at the table. A few times, I thought the waiter was on the verge of telling him "We don't serve your kind here."
He sat against that column next to me during the meal and every now and then I would see him out of the corner of my eye make a slight movement in my direction. SHP told him to knock it off before he got us kicked out.
At the burger place, Squeamish told our very dark-skinned waitress that my order was wrong and I was sending it back because I was a racist. I think my jaw might have hit the floor. Luckily, she was a good sport, though my food did seem to have an awful lot of "local flavor" to it.

That would be when Squeamish spilled everybody else's drinks because he was stupid enough to sit on the downhill side of the table on the world's least OSHA-compliant balcony and lost his balance.

Okay, now I just need a tag line. Something that sounds vaguely religious and/or sinister, intriguing and yet slightly-offputting at the same time.

Years ago, a guy put up posters all over town with different graphics, but the same message.
"TIME TRAVEL DAY"
"9/21/????" (I don't remember the year)
"WILL ANYONE COME?"
My friends and I happened to meet a guy who knew who put them up. He said the theory was that if humans did invent time travel, they could return to any point in the past. So why not return on a day when it had been predicted and freak everyone out?
He put them up at least a year in advance, because they stayed up for what seemed like forever. When the date finally came, and there was no hullabaloo about time travelers showing up, the posters disappeared.
I think we should put Frat on a poster with a catchy slogan and hang him up in different cities all over the place.
But I'm into the whole "crap showing up in different cities unannounced and anonymously" kind of thing, apparently.
