No, not that closet you fools, the "I met Syd Lexia" closet!

Yea, about a week and a half ago, I went home for a week on break. I was already going to see Priest and Sabbath, but living in Shittsfield, MA, a boring drug-infested-on-the-wrong-sides little town that hasn't meant anything to me since 1994, the less time spent at home doing nothing the better. Both my parents work during most of the week anyway.

So being that Syd also lives in Massahugetits (although a little farther from the middle of the state than I originally hoped) I figured, "why the fuck not?' So I PM'd him, he gave me the info on where to find the stolen goods etc. etc. I was originally supposed to meet him at a comic shop where Jeebus (who I also ended up meeting) works, show up, watch them play Magic, and make random conversation with him and Jeebus about the site, and things of that nature since I didn't know how to play Magic. Then we would go to dinner afterwards. One problem, thanks to my inability to write down addresses properly, I ended up dicking around and trying to find a comic shop in the wrong section of town for about a good hour. As a result, I missed the Magic tournament (good thing I don't play it). When I showed up, mercifully Syd was still there (thanks for waiting by the way), so Syd and I just ended up going to Chili's for the dinner part of the equation. Just Syd because Jeebus apparently was strapped for cash.

Seeing as how Syd didn't have a car with him, he had the pleasure of me being his shofur to Chili's in a brand new Nissan Murono (with voice-controlled GPS, I shit you not), which my Dad so generously lent me for the week. That of course, was awkward as fuck for the first few minutes seeing as how this kid Syd's never seen before drove across the state to meet with him and now he's driving in his car, but I guess that was to be expected.

So we sat down at Chili's and talked about a bunch of things. How Konami is fuckin' up, how Nintendo is fuckin up, how the Virtual Console of America is fuckin up; yea, the entire conversation was pretty much "these people are fuckin up." Strangely enough Syd, the thought never even occured to me to give you shit about how Axl Rose is fuckin up, but perhaps that was for the best. Even more strangely, aika didn't come up in coversation to completely to derail whatever we were talking about.

After dinner, I dropped Syd off, stopped at my Aunt's to go hang with the family for a bit, then drove all the way back home.

While I highly enjoyed the meeting, I must say, this is quite possibly one of the most absurd things I've ever done. And if I just didn't happen to have family living near Reading, I probably never would have gone through with it, nor would I have been able to find that comic shop (thanks again for waiting for me Syd). But, aside from a fuck-up regarding my voice-controlled GPS in taking directions, it was as not awkward as it could not possibly be (?).

So why am I telling you all this? Well perhaps this is a first step towards the realization of the Syd Lexia dream: having office space where all of us meet and play video games (I know for a fact that statement is somewhere on this site). Besides, I'd like to think the purpose of a message board is a tool for discovering and uniting people of common interest. This was of course, before the predators came in and ruined everything.

In closing, yes Dr. Jeebus actually looks like that old dude in the icon. In fact, his beard is so manly, one of the male patrons in the shop touched it, and he turned into a woman.

That was freakin' epic, dude. I'll option the film rights.

This meeting could be the first scene!

You're right. If we all got together I'm sure it would result in a whole lot of wasted time and all of our familes would be bitching about our slacker friends.

Wasted time? What did you think I had in mind for all of us together to accomplish? Bringing Dick Cheney to justice? Ending global Warming? Negro please.

That concept, of meeting total strangers from the internet just seems fuckin' weird to me. Maybe because i grew up in the age of the online predator. From his writing, Syd seems like an interesting guy, but some of you seem to idolize him wich is really fucking weird. It's one thing to want to meet and talk to Syd, it's an entirely different thing to want to suck his dick.

Um, am I supposed to interpret this as "I idolize Syd and want to blow him?" Because if I am, then those are slanderous lies.

Oh internet, so full of gay jokes.

And not nearly enough oiled-up lesbian jokes.


By the way, I must also give you credit for giving me the courage to by Ghost Squad for the Wii. "Bikini mode" wasn't what I thought it was going to be though.

Speaking of getting wasted, I forgot to add, after I dropped Syd off, I got so wasted I blew Chunx.
