Smeggy's World Tour Update

maybe I should just give the two bickering troublemakers in this thread the two Row K seats by themselves, and everyone else can have L & M.

That's it....I have had it with organizing this wedding party. Now I know what my mom went through with my wedding. If you all want to sit in the $10 nosebleeds with 200 other Fantasy/SIM 16 high schoolers who won't even speak to you at the game ... sit on your hands for another 5 months and wait for someone to organize that cluster****, only to be told no more big blocks are available.

seriously, I'm hurt. I'm not a psycho in real life. Maybe I'm overly senstive about this, or had a bad day last night--my cats had a big fight. But, it really hurts me everytime someone says "psycho" or "social pariah" even on a BBS, especially when they meet me and they're just mechanically friendly in a Martha Stewart's frigid, geeky daughter kinda way. "Hi. This is cool, like band camp." It makes me want to cry, thinking about all this time I've spent here thinking I was making friends, when instead, they just want to see the Rockets and say they were there. Why does it hurt? Because my wise old, pre-Internet Usenet guru who taught me how to post 10yrs ago once told me that if you walk into a get-together usenet group gathering and half the people come up and call you an *******, then you know you are liked. But if you walk into the room and everone just says "Hi, neat gathering," then you know you're an *******.

I'm hurt because no one called me an ******* at any of the gatherings I've ever set up...nothing but the cold shoulder, "Hi, so you're heypartner. Where's the pizza." The Barkley game when no one even considered a get together at his last game, and I buy 10 tickets so I'd be liked and offer 10 more, and 30 people act all appreciative "I want one; I want one" and it turns out only 5 actually followed through by emailing their name for Will Call. Even the ones who came to the game, no one came up and said, "Man, you're an ass...let me buy you a beer."

When I took orders for the magical Moochie Indiana 3OT tape, and took 30 orders and spent hours taping and mailing those out...sometimes twice for people, no one emailed back and said, "Thanks heypee, you are one helluva ******* on the BBS" No!! No one actually calls me an ******* in real life. It hurts.

When the admins emailed me 2 days before the Hakeem game to set up a last second get together party because someone dropped the ball...again, no one called me an ******* at Kenneally's. Everyone just said "hi" and went about eating pizza...as if I really am an *******. When I went down to find DoD to meet the admins since he was sitting by himself...he never once said, "Man, you're an ******* on the bbs." He was just "nice."

Then last year when no one organized anything but kept waiting for me to do it, I invite the great Mango and get him to show...and again, no one calls me an ass.

I've emailed my old Usenet guru about this (who doesn't post here) and he said that if no one calls me an ******* in real life, then I am an *******. My bbs career here is sad, I guess. I'm hurt that all this could happen when setting up a honeymoon party for a Git from Australia. Who the hell comes to Houston for their honeymoon??

I hope you all are happy.

They are nice tickets, and I won't be sitting with you. I hope you are all happy that you could use and hurt someone so bad over the course of 3yrs who was just trying to meet you in real life and have someone punch me in the arm and say, "Man, you're an ass..."

And STOP CALLING ME heypee!

My name is heypartner. I hate heypee more than DoD hates "grumpy ol' man"...it's not funny!!

 

So, I still need a name for y'all's little wedding party. Since no one can step up and make a decision, I'll have to decide for you, again, and, probably, get blamed for it ...

I'm going to call you the:

<b>Smeggy Downunders</b>

seems appropriate for some reason after this depressing thread.

 

Still can't make up your mind, 'eh Behad? Smeggy also said, "Why don't we have some nominations and then a poll. " since he listed some 10 others, besides you and rockHEAD's. He was just being nice to say what ones already mentioned were kinda OK. But then why didn't he pick one...but instead list 10 others.

and one was

Going Downunder with Smeggy,

hence, my choice.

Of course, if you ask me, forget the glorification of a cc.net moniker...this game is a "Meet the Players" game and it would help to call yourself a Player's Fan Club from Australia, somehow, and I guarantee you you will meet that player than night.

Remember, I have Fan Council info to share. You can meet a player this game. It is Rowdy Fan night.

 

Yep, that game is really Rowdy Fan night. That is straight from a Tim email. Smeggy's actually the one who found out.

It is nearly a guarantee that the group will meet the players. However, many fans will be meeting the players. My guess would be that if you name yourself after one and stress Australia, that player might actually do something more special for the group....who knows???

i'm not kidding about that night being a promotional night to meet the players.

 

<h2>Slight Warning Post</h2>

I just got hit with requests for 4 more tickets. This might bump us out of 208, but we should still have comparable seats, just maybe a few rows further up. If we do bail the close fit in 208, I can probably buy even 3-4 more from the extra cash from the discounts...as per our previous poll via email. This would put us at 30 people.

<b>Someone locate Refman</b>, and tell him I can give him one more day afterall (today and tomorrow) to contact me.
