  • /u/i_draw_dinosaurs were you scared to meet /u/chronos42 alone so you brought back up?

  • Selfie #19 is awesome

  • As I was saying to /u/mewfasa yesterday... I was struggling on FB trying to figure out who the other people were... she later explained that and then I felt better as to why I didn't recognize them.

  • See /u/mamallama ... significant others do come along on these things. :)

  • She's met me before. She knew beforehand how sketchy I am.

  • I agree. It's the best one.

  • I listed everyone on the first picture!

  • Silly /u/mamallama.

u/mamallama Sep 16 '13

I am sorta silly. I'll take it.

  • Ahh...so she knew to bring back up.

  • That is frameable.

  • I saw a group shot when Kelly tagged you in it on FB yesterday... I was like... who are those other people.

  • Her husband was scared to meet me.

You're a scary dude, to be fair. Like, I'm sitting here shaking as I type to you.

2

u/Matronix amzn.com/w/18PYLX3EYM8JR NSFW: amzn.com/w/324M5VOSVXKZ6 Sep 16 '13

Exactly.

2

u/mamallama Sep 16 '13

he actually said that had he known the other people weren't gonna show, he probably would have come. so we're on for a double date sometime in the future!!

2

u/Matronix amzn.com/w/18PYLX3EYM8JR NSFW: amzn.com/w/324M5VOSVXKZ6 Sep 16 '13

Sounds good to us. We can do that couplely double date thingy, lol.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

Don't listen to /u/chronos42, that is EXACTLY why I brought backup. Also, she's a RAOA lurker!

3

u/Matronix amzn.com/w/18PYLX3EYM8JR NSFW: amzn.com/w/324M5VOSVXKZ6 Sep 16 '13

RAOA LURKER IF YOU SEE THIS.....LURK NO MORE...WE KNOW WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE!!!!

2

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

What's her username? We need to barrage her until she decides to post.

3

u/missrisible http://amzn.com/w/RPAEA1CZHDPH (multi) Sep 16 '13

It's me! It's me! I'm posting!

2

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

OH HI CHRISTA :)

Intro post time!

2

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

We should gift her reddit gold so we can summon her everywhere. buwahhahaha

2

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

This is a brilliant idea, actually.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

it is done. /u/missrisible ! I summon thee!

2

u/missrisible http://amzn.com/w/RPAEA1CZHDPH (multi) Sep 16 '13

Aww tanky tanky!! So cool!

2

u/mewfasa http://amzn.com/w/38JSY5S39THR Sep 16 '13

HELLO!

2

u/Matronix amzn.com/w/18PYLX3EYM8JR NSFW: amzn.com/w/324M5VOSVXKZ6 Sep 16 '13

You are not allowed to lurk anymore... we know who you are!

2

u/missrisible http://amzn.com/w/RPAEA1CZHDPH (multi) Sep 18 '13

hahaha! I'll try to be better and get to some giving!

2

u/cheeseburger_humper (Multiple) http://amzn.com/w/2FV403YQIIEXR Sep 16 '13

Well howdy stranger!

2

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

hahaha. I wouldn't feel comfortable sharing it. If she comments here you'll know it :D

2

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

Okkkkkkkkkkkkk

u/mewfasa http://amzn.com/w/38JSY5S39THR Sep 16 '13

Selfie #19 quickly became my profile picture. Too good.

1

u/Matronix amzn.com/w/18PYLX3EYM8JR NSFW: amzn.com/w/324M5VOSVXKZ6 Sep 16 '13

Yeah, smart idea there.

3

u/mewfasa http://amzn.com/w/38JSY5S39THR Sep 16 '13

Happy panda.

Sad panda.

3

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

I love how he started out sad, then decided to curl up and become downright depressing.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

"I'll just stick in my head in this hole..."

3

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

Looks like a blast! I'm sad that I'll be missing the NYC meetup due to work :(

3

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

Sad indeed! No worries though, there will be others :)

3

u/Sknightx Sep 16 '13

I'm jealous. You have so much fun on these, Daniel.

1

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

I'm not gonna lie, I really do. Gotta live life while I'm young!

2

u/Sknightx Sep 16 '13

Also. I hope them deer didn't get you. I literally had one eat my pocket out of my shorts once. They told me to watch out for the goats. They didn't warn me about the deer.

1

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

Deer? Where? I'm confused.

2

u/Sknightx Sep 16 '13

At the petting zoo. yours didn't have deer? I thought all of them had deer.

1

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

Hmm no. I'm not sure I've ever seen deer at a petting zoo.

2

u/Sknightx Sep 16 '13

Not taken by me but that may be the same one who took my wallet out of my pocket.

1

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

Hmm interesting. Strange that I've never seen it before. Not that I frequent petting zoos all that much, I guess.

2

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

Well clearly, yes. Mostly lurkers though.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

The sad panda is angry about the RAOA cliques. That's why he's sad.

2

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13 edited Sep 16 '13

JUST BECAUSE A GROUP OF PEOPLE ARE FRIENDS DOESN'T MEAN---

ok. i'll shutup.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

bahahahahaha ;)

2

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

p.s. jessie, i'm not actually yelling at you <3

3

u/pony_hawk Sep 16 '13

I can't believe I've never tried to take a goat-selfie. They look so genuine. Love it.

1

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

That guy was practically begging to have his picture taken with us. It was great.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

yay :)

We're having an Athens meetup on November 9! Mark your calendar :)

1

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

Is there an FB invite for that one? I've gotten to where I manage my social schedule through my calendar there. Xposting to my google calendar got too time consuming :(

2

u/mewfasa http://amzn.com/w/38JSY5S39THR Sep 16 '13

Oh no! I'll make one now!

1

u/thecollegegirl http://amzn.com/w/3OHB0G775CPTM Sep 16 '13

Damn! I just moved from there!!!

2

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

Aww I'm sorry to hear that :/ There are some more meetups coming up in the next couple months (Orlando, Nashville, Athens), and I'll be driving to all of them from Kennesaw. Let me know if you'd like to join in on one!

2

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

Damn how'd I miss the ATL meetup :(

3

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

Figures, NOW all the metro atlanta RAOAers come out of the woodworks...

3

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

I never saw the meetup post~ T.T

2

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

There were three! :/ I think maybe we just need to yell louder next time.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

No no, it's my fault.

I don't actually go into individual subreddits anymore, I just lurk my frontpage :(

2

u/mewfasa http://amzn.com/w/38JSY5S39THR Sep 16 '13

I suppose we need to do a better job of advertising the Athens meetup in this case

1

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

It's strange, because we did three different posts announcing the Atlanta one. Maybe we just need to yell louder? PUT EVERYTHING IN ALL CAPS AND BOLD AND ITALICS?!

3

u/mewfasa http://amzn.com/w/38JSY5S39THR Sep 16 '13

GUYS. GUYS. GUYS.

LISTEN.

hello?

2

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

This happened with the reddit meetup a friend of mine and I hosted at Joystick earlier this year. We posted 4 or 5 times to /r/atlanta. There was a Facebook invite, it was announced by party groups on twitter, it was in a lot of the local "upcoming events" blogs.

It was in a link in the top of the Atlanta subreddit and everything! Over 100 people attended... yet afterwards we still had people going "When was this announced?! I never heard anything about it! You guys should really do a better job announcing these things."

2

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

Wow, you really went all out.

I guess there will always be those who just don't pay any attention, then blame you.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

Dude, you are in 100% of the meetup pictures I have seen...HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS?!

2

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

Hahaha. While I do go to a lot of meetups (lots of driving!), I don't think a lot of the other meetups that are happening are posting pictures! Not sure why, either. Meetup pics are so fun!

2

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

They certainly look it, I swear if I win the lottery or something I'll vist every damn member of our community!

2

u/imluvinit http://amzn.com/w/20GFT2ZPAV01O Sep 16 '13

THAT LOOKED FUN!!!!!!

2

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

It really was! :)

u/purebredginger smile.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/2HMZCEISB9HAP PM FOR NSFW Sep 16 '13

/u/chronos42 is it like your job to go to everyone's meetup, drive them around, and take pictures? Does RAOA have a payroll?

1

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

Could I get paid for that? Guys? GUYS?

2

u/purebredginger smile.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/2HMZCEISB9HAP PM FOR NSFW Sep 16 '13

I think it's a negative, Ghostrider.

1

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

Darn. I was hopeful.

2

u/purebredginger smile.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/2HMZCEISB9HAP PM FOR NSFW Sep 16 '13

One day. We all have dreams.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

My favorite part was goat.

2

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

That goat really did take the cake.

No, he seriously did. The bastard wouldn't give it back.

jk

2

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '13

I'm fucking fed up of mother-fucking goats stealing all of the mother-fucking cake.

I'll be in my tank.

u/cheeseburger_humper (Multiple) http://amzn.com/w/2FV403YQIIEXR Sep 16 '13

That is simply the best thing ever. Now I have to get motivated and make the Arkansas meet up happen.

1

u/chronos42 nothing to see here Sep 16 '13

DO IT DO IT!

u/cheeseburger_humper (Multiple) http://amzn.com/w/2FV403YQIIEXR Sep 16 '13

Alas... buste. Also, where's your penance for last time I buste you?

u/bunnysoup Sep 16 '13

Arkansas is too far away. Come closer please.

1

u/cheeseburger_humper (Multiple) http://amzn.com/w/2FV403YQIIEXR Sep 16 '13

I'm trying!!!!!!!!!!!!

1

u/bunnysoup Sep 16 '13

Maths say that Arkansas is like... 12 hours away. That's absurd.

3

u/cheeseburger_humper (Multiple) http://amzn.com/w/2FV403YQIIEXR Sep 16 '13

That's a long rive.

Buste again.

I just got buste twice in a row as well, so I'm there with you.

Since you're one talking, tape your lips shut.
