Default Were you at Nationals?

Did you have a mental pic of everybody that was totally wrong? I could have sworn that just about everybody there was gonna be older, younger, cleaner cut, more mature (jason and badger, cough cough), and skinnier etc etc

An example. I figured that Nicklepimp was in his early twenties and had an *** like his avatar. Not exactly correct on that one

I thought that Unimoger would be older with grey hair. Ya gotta have grey hair to own all those mogs!

How about you?

I think Grizz was One of the most different then I expected. I figured he'd be some burly dude and here he was a not very big guy and seemed pretty soft spoken. Dirk also suprised me, not looks wise, but I thought he'd be Mr heckler. Fishy was just as I expected (fun) Bender was also just as expected, a he!! of a nice guy, and truely a master of that 2.2. Alot of the Sercrc guys I'd seen in pic's. As well as Jason, and Badger, and a few others.
It was definitely great to meet everyone and finally put faces to the screen names.

Edit: I did expect Grizz's wife to be pretty hott from the talk on the board. I wasn't dissapointed. A high Five to Grizz there. Looks like your daughter is gonna take after her ma, Your gonna get Grey hair early grizz when she starts dating

Everybody was nowhere near what I was picturing. Mrs. Grizz prefect and more. She is just like Grizz, laid back and a killer personality. Plus she signed my helmet.

From the pictures I've seen no one really fits the image I would have of them. Special Ed was really the only one that hit the bullseye. It is pretty cool to see all those people and 1 goal, to win the comp with a hangover

Like I said before,FranyRizzo was what I pictured.Same for Jason.The only person who shocked me was Unimoger! I figured he'd be tall,old and have thick wavy locks.But for the most part everyone was pretty much "normal"

Dude, my *** was tame compared to the Hawaiian hitch hiker we we picked up in Grand Junction. That guy can ruin a throne like no other.
