A FUCKING JAR JAR BINKS BANK! I laughed nervously at what I thought was some kind of twisted Christmas joke on the part of Santa. But the dark reality set quicker on the others than me. Robowang was the first to snap...
Women screamed, children cried, and I stood dumbfounded as our previously jovial XE'ers gave Santa a beating the likes of which he's never seen before.
The aftermath wasn't pretty. After they had taken his bag and began discussing taking his head, Santa crawled to his knees and had apparently changed his tune.
He apologized for the whole Jar Jar fiasco and gave us each a present definately worthy of the Christmas Spirit...
Mystery peanuts for all! Now Santa turned out to be an alright guy, willing to forgive and forget. However Gameworks was not, and we were rather forcefully removed from the premises and banned from ever returning. That wasn't much of a problem as we had all run out of credits anyways. After all the evening's work we were all pretty hungry. And where do you go when you need to feed a gang of hungry guys? A delicious buffet of course! We crossed the street to the HomeTown Buffet, stuffed our faces, and reminisced about the way Santa had squealed. We also met Eddie!
He was our "host" for the evening, which was a fancy way of saying he would clean up our dirty plates. For someone I wouldn't expect to fit the XE demographic, Eddie was certainly fascinated with the mystery peanut, announcing "Ohhhh! Verrrrry nice!" when presented with it. After awhile it became obvious we weren't very welcome and we found out it was because they had closed an hour and a half earlier. We left and went over to Wal-Mart to look at toys, until they also closed and kicked us out. With nothing much left to do, we all headed back to my place where we laid around playing video games and watching toughman competition, australian pro-wrestling (hiya tanny!) and porno. The next morning we criticized a few episodes of Superfriends before getting breakfast and going our seperate ways. All in all I think everyone had a great time and I know I would be willing to do it again...especially if I thought people would show up this time! *ahem* To anyone I promised a pseudopresence to, I apologize but I was too bitter, and at the beginning too drunk, to remember any of that stuff. Anyhow, anyone interested in hosting a gathering in their own hometown area should definately consider it. It was cool getting to meet some other readers and I would definately make the effort to get out and attend one.
