Reconnecting with Old Friends

[SkinBasket]

So let's say someone you haven't talked to in like 8 years drops a line and says they want to reconnect. Are you pleasantly surprised or annoyed?

I'm annoyed but have trouble figuring out why. I think it's because I'm an antisocial, self-absorbed asshat who has trouble keeping up with the two or three people I talk to who aren't related to me. Hell, I only talk to two or three people who are related to me. This seems like work, this "reconnecting" business.

Just have them set up a password on Packerrats, offering to reconnect in the Romper Room or garbage can, and your problem should be solved.

I got a better story for you. A guy I know who is in his 60's got a call from a woman who he last saw in 1972 in a sexual encounter. They were friends, lost contact. The woman called him up out of the blue, says she wants to come to town to visit him for three days, reconnect. There is a vague hint that she had his baby and never told him! If you are mathematically oriented, you probably already have figured that a 36-year-old man that looks like my friend may be walking the face of the earth.

My friend wants to entertain this woman for three days about as much as he would like to stick needles in his eyeballs. But he hates confrontation, so didn't want to say no. T-minus 7 days and the lady shows up at his doorstep.

I was annoyed at your phone call.

You could have just asked me directly if you were feeling insecure. And I wouldn't say that the few words we exchanged at Red Letter News 8 years ago really counts as much of a friendship.

Is there a statute of limitations for paternity suits?

Probably haven't been spending enough time with him so he created this thread to make you jealous. I hope you feel bad now.

No. I think she might be all religious or something now and is probably reaching out to old friends to appease the Lord. That's a guess, but from the tone and a couple hints in the e-mail, I would say it's a good one. So unless you're going to start talking Jesus to me, I think you'll still occupy a unique place in my life.

I say we invite her along with us as either the designated driver, or some christian bitch we convince to get drunk and let us shove spare change in her underware. I love making moral religious types do preversed acts due to there hidden sexual aggression that are covered up with their overbearing religious beliefs.

Things just got more interesting.

I think she's gone religious because of her past sexual aggression and perverse acts, so I don't know if your plan will work. I'll let you know when she's in town though, if you still want to try.

[Deputy Nutz]

you confirmed it, you just can't get rid of those nasty sexual desires, you of all people should understand that.

Don't be such a downer. Lets waste her and write a novel about it.

[SkinBasket]

She's going to have a baby tomorrow, so we'll have to wait a few days.

[Deputy Nutz]

You sure know a lot about her. Are you the FATHER????
