So there I am after a day on the road... After a little nap, barely awake.
If you've ever seen the six million dollar man, I would qualify as a subject for the 'we can awake him, we have the technology' program.
I stumble to the 'desk' and navigate to the forums... As I check my CP, I see there's something about 'fan of the week'.
Mind you it's November, and I'm only half woke up. I mutter to myself that the SPAM on the forums has been unusually heavy lately, and ask myself why the H E double hockey sticks someone would be trying to sell me a fan... For WINTER...!
I open it and notice the name is a touch familiar.
Not in a 'hey those are my socks' kind of way, but I know I've seen it before.
'Fan of the week' he says.
I PM back that it must have been a very small hat, or he was writing down possible choices alphabetically and got a serious case of writers cramp.
I remember my manners and thank him for the honor. It IS an honor BTW.
I can remember seeing the line 'I was fan of the week' in peoples sigs and wondering just what all that was about.
Somewhere I wondered if I would ever be that... Nothing crazy mind you, but a nice touch for one's sig, you know...?
Then it settles in...
I are one...
And I go straight to plaid: Course heading: Stunned.
See, this stuff doesn't happen to me.
Soda flying across a Walmart landing on your shoes...? Yeah, that's me.
Meeting the only other person on the road at a stop sign at 4 AM...? Yeah, that's me.
Taking the wife out for the first time in awhile and meeting not one, but three ex girlfriends I haven't seen in 15-20 years...? Yep. Me.
Getting nominated for fan of the week...? Well...
IF I could win the Lotto...
And IF I could get George Clooney to play my part...
And IF I could get all of the planets to align in order of their sizes...
Well then, yeah, I guess that could be me.
Anyways, as I told The Arch Mead... Back to stunned.
It has been an honor to be allowed to comment and lurk in the AAR's of many here.
The patience shown by the Authors was, and is still, always appreciated.
My intentions are to encourage, and to bring about some semblance of humor.
I can only hope I actually did encourage along the way, and managed to incite a chuckle once in awhile.
Now with this, I almost feel I have a license to keep doing it.
Thank You guys. From the writers to the forum admin to the fans to the guy that just got done taking the waste basket out. Thanks.
Finally, I must say I am
quite pleased to go through all the AAR's I've never finished and find someone to do this to next week...
