Mahone Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Interesting. There is quite an offline community here it seems as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Yes there is. There are many of us that have met not just once but a few times offline. Met for dinner etc. In fact it's about time we set up another get together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and he got me this really cute hat to wear..has deer antlers and everything. I don't know if it's because it's deer rifle season here and he got a good deal on it or what.

miztrniceguy Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Altho I do not dream of it, I would say Ben is on a short list of people here that I would like to meet, if the occasion came up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Okay so I have to tell ya. I met Ben for breakfast this morning. But he is NOT the person he has made himself out to be. He talks about working out and being this tough guy. So far from the truth. The only way I can think to describe him: Anyone know who Wally Cox is?

prisonchaplain Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Just to piggy back on Pam's string, cause I'm too lazy to start my own. I recently met a famous regular here too. It was odd, because despite our theological similarities, I ordered the house blend, and this other person went with a caramel apple cider. The things we learn offline!

john doe Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I guess I must be too young, because even after seeing pictures of him, I have no idea who Wally Cox is or where I would recognize him from. Was he in Talkies? or just silent movies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I pretty much only remember him from the original Hollywood Squares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Now to set the record straight. It was a privilege and an honor to finally meet BenRaines. Having known him "online" for 10 years it was awesome to finally add the "offline" aspect to it as well. No awkwardness about the whole thing. It was like just meeting an old friend you hadn't see in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
