Choop, I don't know if I'm cool, but you're definitely a dick.

Yeah, if you're ever in the midwest, ping me.  I'm good for a drink or two.

[AugustWest]

Let's see, I've met Wombat, AugustWest (although apparently he doesn't remember), and Carlos DelVaca, which was somewhat recently and I have a photo somewhere that I haven't uploaded anywhere yet to prove it.

FUCK.  I knew I was forgetting one.  And El Guapo no less!

I was in Chicago with my lady a couple of weeks ago, but I did not think of contacting a friend from the internet while I was there.

I will be back in like a month? Probably.

[jay-ell]

TP lives in Chicago, maybe he and Jough should have a drink sometime.

[Carlos del Vaca]

Yeah, if you're ever in the midwest, ping me.  I'm good for a drink or two.

It's true.  We had PANCAKES together.

you guys did drink pancakes?

[Carlos del Vaca]

Yes.  We mixed pancakes up in a blender.  And drank them.


(If there was a Facebook fan page for "Repeating ridiculous things back to the people who said them as if you're completely serious," I would become a fan.)

[jay-ell]

I would say "call me if you're in the Southeast and we'll have a couple of drinks," but as Bobby found out via text the other night, I am really only good for one drink any more.

I ordered a cosmopolitan with dinner Thursday and had to walk around Barnes and Noble for an hour and a half until I sobered up enough to drive home. Does this make me old? Yes, it does.

You know, I'd feel bad about bumping zombie threads but look what happened with the other one.

How did you find the board: I came over on the MB Mayflower, I guess. I'm number six (hey - the Prisoner!), but number three and four were sort of dilletantes.

First post: This. Not very interesting, but it was the fourth post on the board. Also, I answered Slink's question and he missed it completely.

First non-Achewood strip thread started: This thread about music. Surprisingly, I stand by many of the things I said there. I mentioned SFA as a band I should be listening to, and Keith finally got me listening to them this year.

First avatar: I think it was a football helmet, but I'm not sure.

Stalker moment: Not sure. I did ask "Somebody Nice" if she wanted to hang out sometime, since she's the only person I was likely to be near anytime.

Best moment: Eh . . . hmm . . . I made some jokes.

Lowest moment: I don't think there's anything here too terribly bad. I did call up Mr. West and leave a rambling drunken message on his answering machine once.

Meetups: None yet*, but when I'm home this time I'm going to propose an Australia trip to see if Doc looks like his avatar. Also, at some point I ought to hit the eastern seaboard, as many of you seem to be sprinkled around down there.

*Edit: Lowest moment was when I just realized I forgot that I met Smick, or something. I forgot I met him here, because I've seen him several times, not just the once.

[jay-ell]

I stick by everything I said on the first page of this post.

[AugustWest]

Lowest moment: I don't think there's anything here too terribly bad. I did call up Mr. West and leave a rambling drunken message on his answering machine once.

That was you?

[side_show]

I missed this one the first go around.

How did you find the board: Shortly after the Dumbrella board had its death rattle, I googled and found everyone here.

First post: a discussion of my favorite strips  I'd have to say, from my list this one doesn't really hold up.  I think it was too "of a time," unlike the others.

First non-Achewood strip thread started: It was a thread no one responded to!  I'd like to point out that Kochalka is still going strong.

First avatar: Same as now, same as always.

Stalker moment: I don't know if I've had one.  I got overly flirty with Jough at a certain point. 

Best moment: This post. The experience and writing about it affected me significantly.  First off, I ended up sending in an edited (shortened) version of the story to a contest for the community paper in the neighborhood it was written about, and it was published, and I ended up winning first place and $150 for it.  I was invited to become a contributing editor and later join the paper's publishing comittee. Then, over time, I ended up writing a play with a character partially inspired by that neighbour and then later working at an HIV health centre (which lead to an extended absence from here).

Lowest moment: In an online chat with a group of other TOUAMBIES I drunkenly took off my ##### at the urging of Misterqueue and others.  It's still one of the weirdest things I've ever done.  If it's any defense, I was not the only one with my ##### off, or so I was told.

Meetups: None.  It's sort of a shame.  Maybe one day.

[wombat]

It is my position that since I am about to publish a book based on stuff that I wrote about on the internet, and that this was the first place I ever wrote about things on the internet, every minute of the - wait, let me check it - 105d 17h 31m that I have spent here, counts as work-related.

So Smells, I love the story about that post, it is very supportive of my rationalization.

[side_show]

Absolutely wombat - like when it comes to an athlete, sure game day is the focus, but all the training is the true occupation. 

I'm thinking about starting another writing project (undecided what or how at this point, but the urge is coming back), possibly in a different genre than theatre, and thankfully posting here has kept writing, so I don't feel totally rusty.

This line is golden, "Never be too pessimistic - you think the worst, but it could really just be a sequined drag queen."
It can't stand by itself, unless you're trying to befuddle the listener, but in trying to find out what it means, you get treated to the world as seen by side_show.
