Love Blooms AO Style!!

[AGD]

AO,

We as if this place wasn't special enough.......

It turns out that love has blossomed here on AO and brought people together from half way around the world!

Our own Gibby and ToDamnSweet have hit it off and she even moved from Hawaii to CA to find out if he is the man of her dreams. So to make it sound like an episode of "Connections" here is what happened.

JJ is born, his father like horses.
Shatner likes horses and hangs with JJ's dad.
JJ grows up and has enough guts to ask Shatner to play paintball.
Shatner has a lot going on but hates to make phone calls to raise money for charity.
JJ says "you can shoot people and make money for the charity" so Shatner is in.

JJ goes to his boss at the time (not AGD) and they are not interested.
Tom Kaye loves the original Star Trek but none of the others. JJ comes to work for Tom and by the way "you want to play ball with Shatner?"

AO gets wind of the whole thing and we are off to the races.
Now Tom's going to shoot Shatner, Shatner's going to shoot Mancow and everyone gets to watch!

Unfortunately there must be something to do before the big game so AO does what has been done throughout history, go raid the neighboring town! In the 21st century that town is on the internet so AO has a party (online) and goes and wollops the Shatner forum. This is much to the chagrin of the webmaster who spends the next couple days cleaning up the mess.

The aftermath sees AO waiting for a retaliation which the Trekies never came up with, or if they did, we didn't see it. That leaves a few Trekies to infiltrate our camp and suddenly find themselves caught up in the magic world that is AO.

In typical AO fashion they start posting, and they post ALOT! So much in fact that one girl TDS gets a run going and looks like it will be the champion of all posts! Tom Kaye gives it a little boost by offering her a marker for free it she gets to 1000 posts.

1000+ posts later she has a marker and everyone is talking her into coming to the Shatner game which she does. Tom in gratitude for the 1000 posts gets her a handshake onstage with Shatner and she gets to meet Gibby.

All this excitement in such a short time has TDS rethinking her life and she decides to move to CA and just go for it. Love is born and we come full circle to the end of our story.

From the birth of JJ to the birth of love we have seen how AO can go from horses, to money, to paintball to hating Shatner then loving him. From ancient raids to record posts and ties that bind across the electronic pipeline that brings us all together. AO can make you love and make you cry but one thing it never does is make you bored because in the end its all about people and AO is where the BEST PEOPLE ON EARTH hang out!!!

LMBO!!! That was great Tom!!!! So, we should be thanking the horses??? Hahaha

Rey is a great guy and I'm really lucky to have him in my life. Like you said before Tom, I OWE YOU BIG TIME! I met both Mr. Shatner and Gibby because of you. YOU DA MAN, the second man LOL

AO has a great group of ppl! I've made alot of good friends here!!!

I'd like to give a really big congrats to my 2nd favorite couple, Yvonnie & Rey! I'm happy for you, best wishes & best of luck

AAAAWWWWWWW Thanks Spazzed!!!

and you're good at keeping secrets... :D

I don't know whether to laugh or cry

I don't get it but those of you who know me know why and its a running joke.....Ummmm I would say have a coke and a smile ;)

[gibby]

LOL!! Thanks Tom! WOW! This is too funny. I guess it would be incomplete if I didn't add to the fact that I traded my car(89 Saab 900) for a classic Automag a little over 2 1/2 years ago! I was introduced to AO the first time I was shopping around for barrels. Someone told me about this forum and how I could get more information from it. Little did I know, I'd find someone special. :)

Yvonnie definitely lives up to her nickname, but I'm sure there's more surprises to be found as time goes by. ;)

So Tom, does this make you a pimp daddy or what? :D

Army, I suggest laughing cause if you decide you made the wrong choice, you can laugh even harder and eventually you'll cry. :p

I suppose I should say thank you to Tom, Shatner, JJ, and the wonderful people who talked TDS into playing! ;)

[leopardhead]

I have to say one of the best things for me working on Spplat and joining the AO community has been getting to know Rey and TDS a little. I was instantly impressed with their generosity of spirit. And then this funny thing started happening at first it was "Oh TDS might be inLA soon" next was TDS saying "yeah my email address is changing" and then "Oh I'm staying at Rey's for a while" ah-huh. ;)Of course if I were faster on the uptake the change of Rey from Gibby to Too Damn Hot would have clued me in.

Way to go you two too damns.

Here's the picture we took with Mr. Shatner.

We were invited to play paintball with him at Hollywood Sports Park this past Sunday. It was lotsa fun! He played about 3 or 4 games before he had to leave. He's a busy guy. J.J. Brookshire put the game together for Mr. Shatner and some of his friends. His fan club covered it and took some pictures. I think they're gonna post it on his site in next months online issue.

The chest protector is for looks :D He's a tough guy! :D

[TooDamnSweet]

Here's one of us at Disneyland right after Shatnerball.

[AllAmericanMag]
