So, I drive to the restaurant to pick up Jason from his NERO game, and I meet up with a bunch of people that he spent the day with. Nice people.
Girl: You need to start playing with us. Need to.
Ernie: Oh, uhmm… I don’t know.
Guy #1: C’mon, it’ll be fun. We need a Sarr. You can even join “G-Force.”
Ernie: … SARS? “G-Force?”
Guy #2: (proudly) The Sarr is a race of cat people. You’d get to wear ears! And G-Force is the name of our gay guild.
Ernie: (dazed) SARS. Cats. You guys have… a gay guild.
Guy #1: Yep!
Girl: And we even have a slogan!
All in unison, chanting:Ten percent /
Is not enough /
Recruit! Recruit! Recruit!Ernie: I need a cigarette.
Aaaah, good times.
No way in hell is this “first post”. OMG I’m such a geek. Or a geek groupie.
One of my old roomies had a button she liked to wear when walking through airports:
“Dip me in honey and throw me to the lesbians.”
Second post…
_____________
Did this really happen? If so, Tell Jason to take the bus next time. You are entirely too cool to get SARS, I mean how typical would that be?
Ern, Nero people are seriously freaky. RUN AWAY. Have you even /seen/ how they pretend to cast spells?
If it involves Ernie in cat ears it’s gotta be A Good Thing.
Mwrrrrrow.
I love their slogan.
hey do you got ddr cds >;\ i need some ah i love raving to it, but i can’t find that shit anywhere HOLLA
OH! So that’s why there is a bearded guy in sleeping in our livingroom! Dude we have got to comunicate more…
note to Jason: I really think you should consider throwing loose birdseed to represent casting spells instead of hucking little tied-up bags of it… or better yet, instead of birdseed… Glitter!… now that would be magical! Enviornmental issues asside of course…
I am *all* for the glitter, Paris! “I call upon the earth to make you fucking fabulous!” Good times.
In fact if you used the right loose ingreadiants you could create realistic spells. You could get park-dwelling creatures to swarm your opponent if you dusted them with loose bird seed… or say… catnip… or … crack cocain. Now that is a spell with some real life results!
*Now* you’re talkin’.
Of course, we’re missing the *real* reason that these games are fun: Sexy, sexy geekboys and geekgirls in renaissance drag. It’s the eye candy.
> Ern, Nero people are seriously freaky. RUN AWAY.
Something tells me that this pot and kettle are both black. I’d be willing to lay down $5 that says we both spend our weekends living in a fantasy world. At least my excuse is pre-fabricated.

P.S. I’m sorry I missed you later that evening, Ernie. Justin and I were so wiped out that we headed home early. If I had known you would be there, I might have stuck around and tried to weasel a ride out of Nik. I enjoyed meeting you last fall, and definitely hope you come join us, even if it’s only to point and laugh.
*breaking down the definition*
Sarr-Cat people(Are they saying your a pussy? oh hell naw!).
Most members of this race are slaves.(racial, maybe? are all the sarrs minorities too)
Can learn to resist poison(sars?)
have particularly keen scenting abilities, but can’t use blunt or ranged weapons and can never buy the waylay skill which lets you knock someone out if you catch them by surprise from behind(meaning you can’t top. no waylay skills means they want a power bottom) hmmmm…
*jokes, only jokes, hehe, I kid, I kid…*
Also wasn’t G-force a cartoon in the 1980′s?
G-force sounds like a super duper extra strength super fabulous condom or something for role playing in bed.
Gah … I don’t even know what to say about this. It is disturbing enough in itself.
Ernie, let me put this into SAT terminology for you.
Live-action furry roleplaying is to playing Dungeons and Dragons as playing Dungeons and Dragons is to fucking a supermodel in a jacuzzi at your party filled with A-list Hollywood celebrities aboard your private jet.
Just a word of warning.
be careful now! the christian coalition already thinks you guys are out there recruiting from the schools like the friggin army.
Well…10% isn’t really enough….
I suppose every group needs another group of whom they can be contemptuous. The comforting part is that everyone is in a group held in contempt by someone else. Sort of evens everything out.
I guess the real trick is to limit how many groups one appears to be in.
totally unrelated to the above geekdom..
( ernie, you need a comments system just for your mini-blog! )
acrophobia ROCKS. best game ever.
SARS – Gee, how come I’m all shiverrrrrrring? (by the way, I’m Asian)
I seriously find that term some what.. distrubing….
Argh. I’m admittedly a huge role-playing geek (note link to gaming forums website, of which I’m an admin), and generally I try to defend the LARPers, but sometimes you just make it hard…
No, I’m not talking about the wearing-cat-ears and the gay guild, I’m talking about the “can’t use blunt or ranged weapons” restriction. What? What’s the point of that? You people seriously need to try some game other than first edition AD&D. “Game balance” isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Oh, and drop the “G-Force” name. It confuses your fellow geeks who grew up watching “Battle of the Planets” (aka “G-Force”, or “Gatchaman” in the original).
Gods sit in geniculate invincibility
airing out the cosmic brew,
numbering the scurf
grouping the cullets of dust, while
we marry oceans and fertility
with ashes
merrily cushioning the crossing of nothing passing.
“mommy… why is daddy in the backyard throwing qtips and yelling lightning bolt?” LOL nice vid!
Super Magical Field Trip Something
I can’t bloody wait until Saturday morning. It’s going to be some incredibly high geekery, that’s for certain, but it’s well worth it. As some of you know, I’m involved with some D&D-esque tomfoolery, which while way up there in…
