TLC 9 Posted October 15, 2006 I'm up for a London meeting; I'll get there early and hold the same pose as in my profile photo so that we don't have to wander round a pub asking 'excuse me, are you Captain Oates/In Eternum +/Cowboy Ronnie/Dr Hackenslash?' etc. Best not to read any of my drunken stories I've posted on this site if you're not sure whether to come along or not...

Typhoid Harry 23 Posted October 16, 2006 Among the mods, I have suggested this recently, but it would be several months before my idea came to pass. Also, it sounds as though rather than one meeting place, it could rather easily become a pub crawl. Security is not an issue; in my view, let whoever wants to attend, attend.

You might be even easier to find if you dressed up like your avatar. But my avatar is wearing an extremely clever disguise; if only I could combine this with his lethal acting powers you'd never recognise me if I so chose. It's very much like the physical equivalent of a jedi mind trick - 'I am not the deathlister you are looking for'. Especially if it's Twelvetrees trying to introduce himself and he really does look like that. Have you seen the damage that can be done with a snooker cue TH? If not, heed the wise words of the Matchroom Mob (and Chas & Dave) who chillingly warned us many years ago 'we'll show you what we can do, with a load of balls and a Snooker queue'. Add a few pairs of hastily removed socks into the mix and blind ugly violence is the only way this game'll end. That must be what going 'Snooker loopy' means, a phrase I've heard used on the mean streets of South London a lot (well maybe once or twice, and probably from my own mouth) but just presumed it was about enjoying the game until recently.

Windsor 2,233 Posted October 16, 2006 If TLC dressed as his avatar, he's probably find himself locked away for 90 days with out trial. To make matters worse, he'd probably have to share an over crowded cell with a bunch of exremist Halibuts who would beat him hourly for not knowing his prayers.

I think if I dressed as my avatar I'd be lucky to get as far as on the train, such are the enlightened non-suspicious views of the average commuter. Maybe I'd do better by convincing the commuters I'm going to do something entirely innocent, such as taking a huge sports bag with me to prove I'm just on the way to the gym?

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted October 16, 2006 What would we call a get together? I always liked the off-the-wall Fortean Times' idea of holding an 'Unconvention' cos there was very little conventional in what they discussed. We'd be summat like: Deathcon, Expiricon or Grimicon.

Banshees Scream 110 Posted October 16, 2006 I haven't made a comment in this thread, but it's been talked about times before. I'm not really sure if I would ever meet any Deathlisters to the face, but I would be the young man peeking through the window or sitting outside on the bench, in black, smoking a white cigerette, eating, or enjoying the view. Watching the cars pass, or people walking by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Six 23 Posted October 24, 2006 As we are meeting as our avatars, I would prefer if we met somewhere quite humid... I don't get along so well in hot or dry environments. ( I was going to use the terms ' moist ' and ' hard ' in my descriptions, but I couldn't stop it from sounding mildly pornographic. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
