So I met some of these fools in real life this weekend - First Impressions Review, definitely not &q

[cblalock]

** - The rest of the title got cut off, was supposed to say that this was definitely NOT a "Hands On" review.

Vampire 33 aka "Jeff" - Yes he's a tool in real life just like on XBL, but you love him anyway. Cool guy, shorter than I expected. Funny and outgoing as I expected from his online persona.

Monkey EatsAlot aka "kyle" aka "Jeff's kid" - Much cooler than Jeff online as well as in real life. Funny, but not in an annoying kid way. He really has a great sense of humor and timing. Doesn't say too much, but when he does - it's quality. I only hope my kids turn out this well.

DeanO aka "Dean" - Much younger than I expected (not that I was expecting a Way2Old clone). Cool guy, a little hung up on Star Wars - but we won't hold that against him ;-). Came to our dinner even though he wasn't involved in the golf tournament the next day. Honestly, that says a lot about a guy to me.

Sharky aka "Alex" - For some reason, I had this mental image of Sharky being like 6'+. He was definitely a whole lot shorter than I expected. Was also hard to recognize him without the nipple ring :-k. I didn't get a long time to hang out with him on Sunday, but definitely seems like a good guy to be friends with.

Old Painles aka "Greg" - Seemed like a nice enough guy, but again didn't get to spend a lot of time with the guy. Much like his online persona was in and out with little fanfare. Hopefully, I'll get a little more time to hang with him and Sharky next time we all get together.

All in all, I'd have to rate this group a 9, though it would've been considerably lower without Monkey in there. ;-)

What's the Star Wars you speak of? Yeah I figured Monkey would carry the rest of the weekend. He's a great kid. Reminds me a lot of my 9 year old son. BTW, I'm only 33 no where near Way2Old!!! [img]/AGE/DesktopModules/YetAnotherForumDotNet/images/emoticons/002.gif[/img]

[Sharky]

no, I'mjust a measly 5'-11" and no nipple rings.


It was funny when Vampire asked my age. When I tld him I was 29 he had a dumbfouded look on his face. He thought I was more like 22.

Remind me to never meet you in real life. - Blalock.

Seems like you were a lot shorter than that. Now that I think about it, I think you were sitting down almost every time I got to talk to you. Perhaps thats why I kept thinking you were Hobbit-sized.

Nice guys. Wish I could have been there to meet you fools.
Oh, and tear it up on the golf course. So, exactly how "CREATIVE"
was the scoring. ;-)

I'll have you know, that every one of my 3 putts was legit. :^o

I also thought Sharky was going to be taller. Than one picture he posted (the original) seemed to make him look taller, and yes he looks younger than his age.

I want to thank everyone there for the kind words for my son, and for making him a part of the festivities, he had a blast!!! He could not wait to get on the phone and call his mom and tell her about his experience.

You guys are great!!! Oh, and CB, Monkey wants to know if you miss him??? LOL :smt003

Something you want to confess Vamp?
