Todd Luikart and Blair are freaky good salesmen. I AM NOT. I'd be more than happy to do any of the following tasks:

1) Acting as a shill in someone's game.
2) Standing behind everyone lookin' all fierce like Public Enemy's S1W, boyee.
3) Go'fer. I fetch, I retrieve, I scratch fleas, I roll over, I play dead.
4) Running InSpectres, I guess (remember, me hate running games).

Basically, anything that involves me not touching money or asking people for money. Also: not taking my top off. Unless it's for a good cause.

Also: i black dragon will kill for money or goods.

But seriously, don't expect me to sell your game. I won't.

This is them: "Dude. Kayfabe?"
This is me: "Dude. It's cool. Buy it or I'll get Knipe, crush you throat"

That's the famous persona coming through. BUT IT WORKS ON CHICKS, TRRRRUST ME. I'll be knee-deep in Xena corsets before the Con is through*.

I can also bump into people while someone else grabs their wallets. In short, I'm Mad Murdoch, not Hannibal. Maybe Face-man, a little. Not much B.A. though...that involves way too much gold jewelry...and you'd never get me on the plane, foo'.

"Engaging sort who makes people comfortable"? Uh-huh.

Ah yes. I'm already bulking up for this year.

Seriously, although I've been a bit out-of-touch with The Forge these past couple months, count on me being there. I dig my postion as one of the Sorcerer heavies ("heavy" in the sense that I demo it a lot, not that I give folks the beat down until they buy it), and would be glad to represent in other ways.

Seems that I'll need to do the same thing as last year: keeping an eye on Jared so that noone gets hurt.

Why did I just get the image of you and Ron Popeil in a game store together? ;)

Yo, just keep it real! Only front on da boyeez that be flakin' and perpatratin', yo? Peace out.

*ahem* My new housemate is a huge NWA fan. Nothing like a dose of Dre in the morning to get the blood, uhm, flowing.

of all the things I dread, its the saturday night "Gamer Wet T-Shirt Contest"

Ah, grasshopper, you must learn self-control. el Jefe will show you the way..

Hmm.. I may have to bring my el Jefe costume.

I can also bump into people while someone else grabs their wallets.


*rubs temples* great, NOW I've got an image of you, Ron Popeil, and Oliver all talking in fake Cokney "making handkerchiefs"
