Sail on, part of my childhood.

[RinglingRingling]

I called my brother.....Not sure, but I think he was crying...

All I could hear clearly was something about a vorpal blade....





Sail On....

that's a +4 Vorpal Blade of Awesome Might against Trolls, and Goblins, but not Gnolls.

With all the sobbing going on...it was hard to understand...

Tell him if he doesn't stop, it's gonna rust his AC-4 Mail of Distraction

Man. I musta wasted my youth sniffing coconut sunscreen and waxing boards. I have nooooooooo idea what you are talking about! Were you the really pale guys that occasionally showed up at the beach?

sail on, ye creator of a generation teen couch potatoes.

All those influenced by and still playing in your bachelor pad, set your game on PAUSE
for a moment of silence (..and time to grab more cheetos)

5 years ago when I was fishing in Alaska my 9 year old nephew gave me a mission.

He wanted YU GI OH cards from Alaska because he thought that there would be cards there that he couldn't get in Phoenix.

While I was fishing, we camped in the Alaska bush. We ran into a slew of locals who looked like they hadn't bathed since the Nixon administration (including one character who boasted that he hadn't lived in a house with electricity since 1980). It was moose hunting season and people were looking to shoot moose to feed themselve through the long winter.

After a week of fishing, we went back to Anchorage where I started my quest for the Yu GI OH cards. I was sent to a "Hobby Shop" by a hotel concierge.

It was a brilliant, perfect late Alaskan fall day. Sunny, 55 degrees. The kind of day that local kids should be relishing based on teh fact that they had 6 months of snow/rain but a few weeks away.

Anyway, at 1 pm on a perfect day, I walk into the Hobby Shop only to find dozens of very pale and very unhealthy looking kids dressed like wizards and Lord knows what, playing Dungeons and Dragons.

WTF???????

I wanted to yell at them to go outside, play football, fish, run, ride bikes, even go hang out at the mall. Seeing 20 teenage boys crammed into a musty "Hobby Shop" playing D & D was more revulsive than the woodsmen who hadn't bathed for 20 years.

Immediately, I thought of teh William Shatner SNL skit where he yells at Trekkies asking him obscure trekkie trivia to "GET A LIFE!"

Fantasy is great, as long as you're not using it to hide from reality.

It was awful. I felt bad for those kids...

Till I realized that someday they'd probably be millionaire computer software designers.
