I think I'm gonna try and get in touch with Brother Ragnarok.
Maybe I can lure him back here.

Brother R. is unlike any person I've ever met.
He has a unique style when it comes to viewing the world and the people who live in it.
I've said it before...if you really want to get to know someone...take a road trip with them.
I let him drive my car and we talked nonstop the entire time about everything you can think of from B-movies to girlfriends to books we've read and our upbringing in Iowa.
You name it...we talked about it.

As for that road trip to Wisconsin, on the way back here to Iowa we both decided to create this thread.

His wife Melanie is on my Yahoo Messenger friend list.
I'll contact her next time I see her on and get her to put Brother R. on so I can convince him to get his ass back on here.

He still has a pair of my shoes that I forgot in his & Brother Ferox's dorm room back in 2003.
I doubt if they'd even fit me now.
I remember that we watched The Ice Pirates and he hated it.
LOL!

How could he hate Ice Pirates?  It's a work of art!

I'd better git all that crap off my sofa... & my coffee table... & my living room chairs... Oh! And I'll need to git this washing machine outa' my living room... & clear a path from my front door too, uh... the inside of my place. Maybe I'll just pull out those folding dining room chairs that my mom gave me... if I can find 'em in this mess. I know somewhere around here, I've got a busted clutch cable for a  bike I don't evven have anymore.

I checked out the frappr, & there's only one other guy in VA, & he didn't create a profile, so I have no idea who he is. Then again, he lives in Frederiksburg. I'm not quite sure if Frederiksburg counts as northern VA, but it's north of Richmond, and well, there a few very distinct social & cultural differences between them Northern Virginians & we Central Virginians.

Here localy, there's a couple of guys in my twelve step groups who seem to share the same interests as me, but I haven't really been able to develope a rapport with either of them.

Lately, I've been giving serious thought to starting a support group for bad movie fans & uneducated computer geeks.

Maybe in a past life...I recall one of you guys kidnapping my wife and enclosing her in a glass coffin,then marrying my daughter...oh...wait a minute...that was Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi....

From what I have seen on frapper NO ONE lives in Florida!  I used to live in Boston (south shore) and miss the northener ways...but at least the majority of the people I work with are from NY.  Gives me a slice of home...kinda.  At least the Yankee Red Sox rivary is still alive...lol.  Makes me laugh really.

Menard

Judging from all the remorse that everyone has at not having met anyone on the board, let me ask a more cheerful question.

A show of hands now.

How many never want to meet me in person?


I said hands...., not fingers. (:

Hey Phamboti, uh I mean Menard, about time you showed up around here! I don't like it much when people drop out of site. I hope you're back for a while.

I have never personally met anyone from the board, but if anyone is ever cruising down toward Dallas on I-30 let me know you're coming. I only live about a mile off the Interstate and I'd be glad to meet up with ya.



And you thought Trek isn't cool.

Sure thing, by all means!  I'm even thinking of a bad movie care package just to make it worthwhile [though maybe that's just a little too crazy...]  

But yeah, while you're in town with the family, I'd suggest a place to have a look at would be ACMI cinemas at Federation Square in the city and check out whatever exhibition they have on [not sure what it is at the moment but they're usually quite good] That's if you're doing the sightseeing type thing.

But be warned, it's bloody cold and wet here at the moment, though from memory you're from Adelaide, so it shouldn't be too much different I imagine...

Yep - I'm a Central Virginian myself, but Fredericksburg is right on that delicate border.
I haven't met anyone else on the board 'cause Noodles can't drive cars. I'll have to learn.

With sorrow, he questioned and lamented the end of all things.
When he finished speaking, he dragged the skull over and, using it for a pillow, lay down to sleep.
In the night, the skull came to his dreams and said, 'You are a fool to rejoice in the entanglements of life.'
Chuang Tzu couldn`t believe this and asked, 'If I could return you to your life, you would want that, wouldn`t you?'
Stunned by Chuang Tzu`s foolishness, the skull replied, 'How do you know that it is bad to be dead?'
