I think most everyone in here is probably decent outside the forum; Finch and Guesser would be exceptions. Hell Guesser may even be ok in real life once you got to know him, the person he portrays in here is not likeable.
I'm going to be in Philly this September for a wedding and I may see if I can buy Vit a beer if he is up to it or I may take him up on his Philly tix if they are at home. Going to be a hectic 3 days but I would like to at least have a cold one with him, just have to figure out how to tell my wife that I am going to a baseball game with a guy I met on an internet sports information site....someone that no one has ever spoken to or met in person. Vit Nation may be alive and well or I may be in Parking lot K minus a few teeth and a black eye. Stay tuned
good luck with that, lots of talk, not one meeting to date that I'm aware of
hell, he wouldn't even meet me at Foxwoods so I could hand him 2k while he was already there, all he had to do was show me proof he won one million playing poker which he could "easily do" (using his expression)
I think Mantis was the latest person he was going to meet up with, going to take him to the Eagles vs Cowboys game, don't think that happened either
As for explaining it to your wife, just tell her the truth (if you ever get the opportunity to meet that somebody (which I would wager never happens)
An online "friend" you're interacting with on a "political forum" (or sports forum) supposedly has season tickets and invited you to watch the game.
