I met these three lads on IRC in a channel called #fullmoonmaddness, misspelled by little Greg. It was a lovely shrine to cynicism and mockery. We enjoyed inviting strangers and then using the various bots of the channel to seduce them. I shall describe the three boys of Tejas in alphabetical order by last name, to avoid any quarreling.
The first is The Greg. The Greg is an odd fellow. He makes for challenging chat because he likes to say things like "BooM!" and "Manson!" and "Eww!" with no context whatsoever. This can make it very difficult for those of us on the receiving ends of the conversation to find the concealed, coherent thoughts. The Greg is a long-haired hippy/hippie who fancies Moonspell. He does not, however, share my appreciation for the Cure... But there's no accounting for taste. He's actually a very sweet, endearing fellow. I just pick on him because he secretly enjoys the pain. Greg says to tell you that he tried to send me a St. Valentine's Day card 5 or 6 months late, but it got lost in the mail. Greg is a good guy, though, because he calls me more often than most. I was *supposed* to go visit these three Texan chuckleheads this summer, but circumstances prevented this. Greg was nice and called me often to try to make me feel better about being stuck in Georgia. Kudos for him.
Moving right on through the alphabet, we have The Phil. The Phil milks goats. At least, he used to. I haven't heard anything about it lately. Phil doesn't say much. I did once get a hearty "hahaha" from him, after I said something, but I can't recall what it was. Phil is a "good feller" because he writes snail mail and sends actual glossy photographs of himself. Kudos for Phil. Tammy says, after visiting Tejas without me, that no, Phil does not milk goats.
Last, but not Laotian, is The Mike/MikQ. Mikq is a terribly intelligent fellow who can curse like a sailor in Spanish. (And in English.) He smokes too many cigarettes and gets very annoyed at the stupidity of humanity sometimes, but he reads real books and sometimes writes real letters, so he is forgiven. He wants to see some naked pictures of Ginger Spice here really badly. MikQ came to visit me and Tammy in March, and he was just here again a few days ago. The visit in March was fun, filled with playing Risk, watching Jeopardy, attempting and failing to skip stones, and watching Mikq get kicked out of our school. There is a video of the entire experience, which can be yours for the low price of $19.95. Please send check or money order to .. well, just e-mail me at Inamorata@juno.com, and I'll tell you where to send your check or money order. It is a splendid tape.
Home sucks. Just go back to your "people I know" page.
