One thing was different than I expected. I imagined we'd call each other 'Lardy' and 'Ex', but the idea seemed kind of foreign to him.  I betcha most people here would call me 'Lardy' if they met me.  Ya know, I thought it would be that way, but once I met people in person, they all gained "real" names. When I finally do meet you face to face, Lardy, I'll probably call you by your actual given name.

It would be kind of odd (and funny) if people called me Huey in person.

I'm sure we can all call you Lardy, just like we called Loser Lad 'Lou' in person (in addition to his real name).

Yay, Lardy! you finally lost your 'meet-up' cherry! Yep....and it still hurts! Imagine how much more it would have hurt if it was Lash. Regarding in person names. I have to say that even in person I think of Kent Shakespeare as Kent. Only because Kent seems like a real person name.

I thought about posting this in the New York Con thread, but it seemed more appropriate to have it's own. Having never met any Legion Worlder to date, I've often wondered what it would be like.
If I ever DO go to one of these things and meet some of you guys, I have a feeling I would come off as a blithering idiot! I'd be saying, "Dude, this is so WEIRD!" several times and in different wording that I don't think I'd be all that engaging. "Dude, you're Cobalt Kid...and you're Ceej---I mean Ceej! And you're Quislet and you're....."
Is that how it happened? Help a LWer-meeting virgin out by sharing YOUR first time! So, when you met Ex did you go "Dude, this is so WEIRD!"?

*ahem* Quis: Having never met any Legion Worlder to date, I've often wondered what it would be like.

And you're Quislet and you're....."
And I kinda DID that! I think I gave poor Ex a bit of a complex about it! He said at one point something like, "so do you think I'm weird?" I think my reply was along the lines of, "Sure! But I think we ALL are!"
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

I think it is weird to call Legion Worlders by the "real" names.

Congrats on the meet up, Ex and Lardy. I had my first Legion World meet in April. Suddenly Seymour and I went to the same college. I'm now living back in the town where we went to school. He was here while en route to a conference. We met for dessert one night and pizza the next. Swell guy. Nice visit.

(Ex shoulda taken a pic of me and lil' Lardy together!  ) Aren't there decency rules about that sort of pic here? (I KNEW someone would go there as I typed it! Dirty bastard!  ) It wasn't THAT kind of a meet-up! Woulda been if I were there.

Before Facebook and the "pics of Legion Worlders" threads, I had preconceived notions of what some of us would look like based on our names and "profile" pictures here. I'm pretty curious to see which guesses are spot on, and which ones are way off the mark!

Cobie, and anyone else who meets Ex during his quest, be sure to ask him to tell you the story of his engagement!

Ex told me that story once... it's a beautiful testament to Mrs. Ex...
So awesome that you guys got to meet up!
I should be seeing Ex again next month when I go to a concert outside Philly...
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...

You guys are sort of making this sound like something either terribly inappropriate or slightly illegal....
