About August West
« on: August 07, 2006, 05:03:13 pm »
There is a lot I could say about the man, but i'll keep it short because I must press on down the road.  Our August West is a prince among men.  He invited me into his home and made me feel like I was a part of the family.  A family, I might add, that I am truely in love with.  From Sue the beautiful wife right on down to Boomer the reluctant dog.  I just left the West family and I had to stop and take a minute to let everyone know that August West is a beautiful person.  Thank you Frank for your hospitality and friendship.  If you ever pass my way in Texas (or wherever I settle) I will attempt to repay your hospitality.

it is good to know that Aug. is a nice guy. also, that he has a pretty wife/family. I am impressed that you let an Internet Person into your home, introduced him to your family, and all that good stuff. I would feel awkward doing this (of course, I live with my parents... so it'd be a little different.)

Sadly, I doubt I'll be able to say anything like this about Q. "the basement was pretty nice, but the ropes were a little tight. the gimp seemed alright, I guess."

I concur (except about the family who I didn't meet, though I do not blame Mr. AW for this.  I wouldn't bring them to meet me either.)  Glad you two had a good time!

TI: Pfft... you only wish you got the basement.  It's trunk of my car if we ever accidentally met.*

Geez, I'm blushing here.

For what it's worth, Paul is just as fun, funny and thoughtful as he seems on the board.  It was thoroughly enjoyable for me and my family to host him for the weekend.

AW: How do you go about explaining this situation to your family? Are they cool enough to just take for granted your bringing home someone you've never met in real life or did you need to sugar coat it (yeah... old friend honey... no I don't think you ever met him)?

Straight, no chaser.  He's a guy I know from the internet.

Yeah, that would be a hard one to break to the SO:  Honey, a stranger from the internet will be staying at our place for a while.  But I imagine AW has provided his lovely wife with a good life, and after all, is she a Jeopardy champion?  No?  I don't think so.  So who is she to question his choices? *

* Aug, I hope you've never used this argument when disputing any issues with your good lady wife.


But anyway, Paul was voted most meetable and given an imaginary award for this very reason, so if he isn't a suitable house guest, who is?

Say... on the flip side, next TOUAMBIE Awards, we should have a TOUAMBIE you'd be most terrified to meet.

I'd pick Jough by the way.  Never mind the scary name pronunciation, I just imagine him pointing at aspects of my life and just laughing.  Just pointing and laughing.  And then some horrible accident would befall me and there he'd be at my funeral, and he'd point at a picture of me and say, in a sassy voice, "Fuck this chick."  And that would be the end of me.

I'd more likely just be like, trying to sleep with you the entire time.

See, pointing at me and laughing when I'm naked is an even worse inevitability.

Inevitable eh? Because Jough is just irresistable or just because you have to do whatever he says out of a mixture of fear and social commitment.

Now I'm wondering if this is the Inevitable event that Inev's name is prophesizing. Everything that happens here is leading to Smells and Jough sleeping together. Like we're some online book of revelations.
