Herein lies just a brief list of people I consider friends. If you're not included and want to be, just let me know. There's just one simple requirement...I have to actually know who you are. Not too difficult.
Nikki - A longtime friend, Poker Night buddy, roommate, and current fiancée.
Shane & Massa - The Mad Buffalo and his wife. She doesn't really have a nickname, except for maybe the old standby of "yee-atch". I don't have any pictures of them yet, so these will have to do. He makes good coffee, and she makes good hot sauce. You gotta love that combo!
Al - Once upon a time, he liked metal and thrash. Now that he's approaching 30, he's into that silly "alternative" stuff. In other words, it's so "alternative" that EVERYBODY is listening to it. A proud Libertarian, and even ran for Congress in 2000. He definitely has more patience than I do, as he deals with juvenile delinquents as his job. In the words of the old Petra song, "More Power To Ya".
Brian - Dude, you have to read this. Dude, no really....dude...click the link, dude...seriously...
Chris - I worked with him as a part time driver at Pizza Hut, and use him for his plumbing skills. He's a fellow Desert Storm Vet.
Leigh - She's my hippie-liberal-tree-hugging-pro-choice-anti-gun-anti-death-penalty-gearhead-chick friend, but I love her anyhow. We have NOTHING in common except that we once worked together.
Dean - Former Beast of the Roundtable, local funny guy, and all around tubby bitch.
Troy - He's one part mechanic, one part deer killer.
Kelvin - A man who truly appreciates the better things in life, and actually works to achieve his goals.
Mike - It's taken me forever, but I finally put him on here. Samoans Rule!!!
Tyree - He is a vile scion of blackest darkness. He has abandoned and betrayed everyone who has ever loved him. To love him is to feel the rape of your very soul. To trust him is to feel the icy skewer of betrayal rammed into your soft, warm heart a thousand times over as all the lost children of civilizations long buried in pagan dust cry out for vengeance against the uncaring gods which slew them.
