Just had a major laugh of the day. I've been reading Skater Gnomes stories from EverQuest, but be WARNED: They're not funny unless you have played EverQuest yourself! Skater Dude really have given me some good refreshing views on the sociality of everQuest. Much needed - thanks, Skater Gnome!

Here's a little piece from "Whatever":
"ok so like im eating ice cream and killing munsters in wc (i reseantly found out theat wc stands for west commons and not west coast like i thougt) so like this warrior comes up to me and hes like 'hey dude wanna group up??'
and im like 'whats that supposed tom mean?'
and hes like 'do you wanna group?'
and im like '?????'
and hes like 'DO U WANNA GROUP WITH ME AND KILL THE SAME MONSTERS FOR FAST EXP????'
and im like 'uh ya I guess as long as you dont try an KS me'
and hes like 'click follow'
and im like 'dude your not the boss of me'
so I decide on MY OWN that i want to click follow and not because he told me too"
