LARP got cancelled. Some sort of emergency maintenance issues with the building we usually rent. Last night I was all, "What the hell? What's 'emergency maintenance?' Ooooh, is the building going to blow up or something?" BT pointed out that if it was a gas leak, then, yes.

We joked about all of us getting together at Hans' house, and finally culminating our dorkiness by hanging out in character for a night, just for the hell of it.

"Yeah, it's perfect! Doesn't 'Jake' live at Hans' house? And 'Fugazi' lives on campus, so it makes sense that he'd stop by..."

Shannon tried to enter into the spirit of things. "I'm sure Jake would let you guys hang out at his place, if you really wanted to."

"No no no. Not Jake. 'Jake.' Dan's character is named 'Jake'. Though of course 'Jean-Claude' is welcome to hang out at 'Jake's' house too."

She gave us the "My GOD you people are strange" look. Hi-larity, I'm telling you. Maybe you had to be there.

We also talked about dinosaurs. BT said something about how he'd just read that scientists now believed Tyrannosaurus Rex was nothing at all like his popular image. It took me forever to find conformation of that just now, but here ya go.

Goddammit. Remember a few years ago, when it came out that there really was no such thing as a Brontosaurus? I was so sad. Brontosaurii were always my favorite dinosaurs. And now this. Dinosaurs were so much cooler when I was a kid.
