Lesse. Once long ago I met a girl at a I-hop that I had known off and on for a few years online. She was in the 30-something chat rooms I frequented (before I found out about online flight sims). Some of the people from our little chat group actually hooked up and all that, but I was married. A few years later when I was divorced I agreed to meet with her. She was short fat and ugly with a kid. I was polite, ate dinner talked about old times for about 20 minutes and left, never to hear from her again. Boring huh.
I've had lunch with Hblair a few times. Had 3 little bellybutton cons at my house. Zigrat,Bigmax,Shadomy,hblair,regurge destroyed some beer and all that.
While taking a class in OK, had lunch and acm discussions with Drex. Destroyed a few beers and snot crackers. Drove down to Grapevine and went flying RC planes with HT and a fella from the Dickweed HBG. Met Pyro.
Went to Bigmax's house down on the gulfcoast and hit the casino's. Drove with Moose from here to AHconIII (so he wouldnt get lost in Texas again).
The AHcon was the strangest. Way to much to take in. Urchin in his bear suit. FDB's and FDB groupies. Akcurly's son AKnimitz bouncing Urchins head on the concrete like a basket ball.
Violating the blow up sheep doll. Watching Loser take a poke at Pyro. The 3 linebackers Funked, Pei and Sling. Wandering around the parking lot at 3am looking for Loser who had ditched this girl that drove down with him from Canada who I think thought she was his grilfreind but who he thought was a ride buddy
who didn't have a key to the room they were sharing whilst he was bonking the bar chick somewhere in Texas. We thought he would be in the parking lot and as the ride buddy was histerical we were trying to get her a key. Meeting Lazs, Rude and some of the othere 13th. (not that Lazs is 13th, but just that it was funny meeting them at the same time, Lazs and Rude that is. They kinda circled for a bit eyeing each other wondering if the other was going to bite, Rude finally decides to take the bull by the horns and jumps in there with the hand shake thinking that maybe Lazs cant shoot as well with his left hand...etc etc etc. LOL)
And the perpetual...your an Assassin? WHere the F*** is hblair? repeatedly ad nauseam....
Speaking of nauseam, first night at that con I ate a bad bluecheese burger and washed it down with many big gargantuan mugs that you would make good salt water aquarium starter tanks of local brewed beer. I did the throne room flip-around for about 12 hours and wasn't right for a week!
Of course, to start the con off right...About 30 minutes before Moose showed up, I was showered and shaved, packed and ready for the road when it started raining. I had this wheel barrow full of dirt in the yard and knowing my wife, knew she would attempt to dump it before I got back. Her having bad hands/wrists and all I had to dump it before I left. It being raining, I took off with it at a run heading for the 12 foot cliff over the ditch. Calculating that I would need to flip it within a foot or two of the edge of the cliff to get it to clear I speed up a bit so I could flip it early. Well, as I flipped, hoping to stick the front end in the dirt and eject the now mud over the edge, I miscalculated and all I did was speed the dam thing up. Nothing stuck, the dam thing went flying off the end of the cliff, me attached at the hands and to shocked/stupid to realize I should LET GO. I ended up head down in a full ditch with my knees jammed in my ears and a big stob of brush jammed in my back near my kidneys. The ditch was a favorite place for me to dump stuff, like unused concrete, brush...etc. I actually thought that I might drown if I lived through the crash at the bottom. Moose showed up about 30 minutes later, thankfully after I quit crying like a baby...j/k.
So, between the mudbath stob stuck in my back bluecheese-o-death burger, loser/tyson, beelzebubbles, viloted blow up sheep, FDB's, and Urchin going for a swim at 4am in his underoos, the AHconIII was by FAR and AWAY my most memorable online related event. EVAR.
