After feeding my parking meter I strolled (limped actually-- I had major chaffing on the inside of my leg from wandering forty years in the desert with those two gentlemen) into Canters. By now the maitre'd recognised me and asked, "The usual table, sir?" I must tipped him less than generously the previous time because he led me to a table waaaaay in the back in what appeared to be the employee break room.
There he was. Yes, I spoke correctly-- there he was.
The final piece to the puzzle was in place. There sat before me was Thundra looking for all the world like a postal inspector-- not a Buddha spouting Zen, not a 19 year old Korean boy, not a 22 year old transvestite named Terry, but a living, breathing member of the United States bureaucracy dedicated to delivering your mail come hell or high water, through rain, snow, sleet, or hail, handguns be damned.
In all honesty, I was surprised. While I had predicted kinda sorta that Thundra would in actuality be this person sitting next to me, I had prepared myself, nay, semi-expected to see a Goth chick wearing a Misfits T-shirt to be there.
And that, in a nutshell, describes the situation. We are all normal folk. Well, Gitslayer isn't considering his twitching eyelid and sibilant esses, but I'm lumping him in with us so as not to confuse you, dear reader.
It turns out that Thundra was falsely framed by Alla for various misdeeds and wrongdoings, resulting in three (count 'em, three!) bannings. The real culprit/mastermind appears to be none other than Kaolian who has subsequently wormed his way into the infrastructure of this board as a mod. Woe is us!
So after the multi-person gay homosexual all-male orgy in the Canter's bathroom, complete with Abu Graif prison reinactment photos with a little old Jewish lady playing the part of Lynndie England, we parted ways and quickly prepared excuses and reasons for our newly inked tattoos with the letters, "A," (me) "L," (Smash) "L," (Git) and "A" (Thundra) on our biceps. Gitslayer has an "L" on his arm because he wanted it to have the double meaning of "loser."
And that pretty much sums up the first-ever Alla's OoT/Asylum board meeting. Any questions?
