Friends?
Acquaintances?
I'm not sure what you might call us. Toyz has an opinion and I'll get to that in a minute.....
I know SL... We met a few years ago and when we did we exchanged numbers and we have talked many times since..... shared intel..... met and had dinner as well as drinks..... I've introduced him to a couple of lady friends of mine and I've met a couple of his.
He was a welcomed guest at parties I threw and we were both guests at a party thrown by a mutual friend.....
We know each other in the real world and do not need to hide behind handles....
Friends?
Acquaintances?
Whatever it is.... Toyz seems to think it's something else. He actually thinks he has something he can show Sl that would make SL think differently and has long wanted to post PMs here for that purpose.... Although he could at any tome just forward them to Still Looking.....
So why does he think I am shallow and just playing Still Looking?
I know why.... Still Looking knows why....
Toyz THINKS he knows why.
Toyz has a sense of humor at times and at times his agenda's take over and he gets tunnel vision and refuses to see what's around him..... There is a lot of fun to be had with that......
SO let's go back..... way back...... (no we are not going to sing the troglodyte song)....
There was a period of time when Toyz was sulking and not posting a lot and he can be such a great front man at times to play off of... SL and I were talking about how to get him to engage on the board in order to stir the pot.....
So we decided that if Toyz thought there was a rift between SL and I that he just might buddy up to me and we could "go after Still Looking" together.....
So a PM got sent.....
Then another PM......
Then a 3rd PM.......
In each of these PMs was "whispers" complaining about and bad mouthing Still Looking..... Toyz remained silent at first....... You know... He has that whole dog between it's tails thing going on at the time from having his ass handed to him over and over.....
Eventually Toyz took the bait and after a few exchanges I had a dialogue with him and he was convinced Still Looking and I were not remotely "friends"....
And that brought Toyz out of his shell and a lot of fun ensued...... The whole Game show bit for example that TOyz styled to bash Providers was spoon fed to him for example.....
What Toyz was unaware of at the time was that each and every one of those PMs as well as each and every one of his responses was being BCC'd to Still Looking...... We collaborated on how to get him involved as well as directed him in a number of causes.... Still Looking would make suggestions and we would fine tune the messages......
We played him like a puppet.....
He's a lot of fun.....
Writing this I realized what Still Looking is to me....
He's a "Brother in Arms".....
There is no shortage of men and women here that know what I mean when I say that online gaming with a Brother in Arms that shares a purpose and can compliment your skills.
Some of you play Fallout.... Some of you play Halo, or Metal Gear or Assassin Creed.... GFEJunkie is probably playing Batman Arkham Knight by himself....
When SL and I get bored we text each other and see if we should get out the gaming hear and play a round of ECCIE Austin CoEd .......
Toyz is just one of those "tools" we collected along the way.....
I think the only problem Still Looking and I actually have has to do with my unwillingness to share my gaming gear with him......
There was this blue haired spinner that he ........
ehhh... never mind.......
It's a sore spot with him still.......
IF you read this and are interesting we compete in other cities in a team like competition..... Send a PM..... You get to meet a variety of interesting people at the tournaments....... Rocker Rick can usually be found joining us as well...... He brings some very unique skills with his extremely tricked out game gear....
Yeah... I think "Brothers in Arms" is the right term....
There ya go TOYZ.... a cue for a funny pic is all served up for you..... Dance for us please!
