    oh, i remember a good time with zonky

    a story i always tell people who i make play munchkin

    david, zonky, neville and i were playing
    and zonky starts bartering with neville
    he says, "i see you're a wizard. i have this awesome wizard hat right here. it's like +5. i'll trade it to you for this, this and this." (pointing to some of neville's awesome equipment)

    neville thinks about it, and they (if i remember correctly) went back and forth for quite a bit

    then neville is like "sure, let's do that."

    so they trade off, neville has this great wizard hat, zonky has a crapload from neville.

    zonky's like, "nice doing business with you." then slaps down a "change class" card so that neville can no longer use the card.

    a masterful move if i'd ever seen one.

    hey you told me that story that one time when we were playing that one card game

    i think it was old maid
    maybe it was bridge?

    MUNCHKIN! and yes, i tell everyone. it's an awesome story. we had a good night that night.

    no, that wasn't it

    go fish, maybe

    Fucking Tonkman, goddamn.

    I only got the chance to hang out with Tonkman a couple of times, but, like everyone else is saying, he was fantastic.

    Any man who would make out with Backwards Name just because a roomful of people tell him to (we weren't even paying him anything) is a good guy in my book.

    i will also forever remember carving the penis-candle for neville with zonk at arse's house
    he was just so completely impressed with the idea
    he shaved that thing down
    and he was so goddamn excited about the outcome of it

    i remember when we were carefully putting hot wax over it to smooth it out
    and he accidentally got some on me
    and instead of going "are you okay?"

    he just looks at me
    and goes

    "did you like that? do you want me to do it again?"

    I remember this one story he told us. Tonkman wasn't bashful about anything, especially sex.
    And he was talking about how this girl had him handcuffed to the bed on a breezy summer night.
    They were trying out some of that KY warming lube.

    I guess they were out of condoms or something, so the girl left to go to the store and decided to leave him locked/tied up while she was gone. As he put it, she was gone a REALLY long time.
    And he said the lube started getting tingly... and the window to the room was open and blowing through...

    When she returned he was a mess and said something to the effect of "Sorry, Nature took care of me."

    tl;dr he got a blowjob from Nature.

    In may, just after I started posting here and everyone was ragging on me particularly hard for something stupid I said, he sent me a PM I've since deleted, but it said something to the effect of "You've got potential, and I like you just fine"

    That was probably the reason I still have the balls to post here

    i loved how blunt he was
    he was so blunt with me
    if i said something and he disagreed
    he'd tell me why, he'd tell me right away, and then he'd always fall up with "i don't care how much we disagree you will always be my buddy"
    then he'd slap me on the back and i'd nearly throw up

    oh christ and his recent sex advice to me

    JESUS

    THANKS A LOT ZONKY NOW I'M NEVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO BE INTIMATE AGAIN WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THAT

    he's totally laughing at me right now i know he is

    it wasn't really until the party at arsenic's a few months ago that I really even paid any attention to Joe

    but pretty much from the moment I walked in the door and met him, I knew this cat was something different

    goddamn charisma like what

    seriously, without even trying, the guy was the life of the party

    he's an amazing guy, one of the most genuinely funny dudes I've met in ages, and I'm going to miss his presence deeply

    Or at DramaPAX when we were all at Captain Cthulhu's. Zonky was sleeping there since his bus was going to leave godawful early. Somehow we convinced him to kiss Backwards Name.

    That's the only time I've seen Tonkman ever look confused/scared. But when it came to the actual kiss, of course he hammed it up and made it look like an epic kiss from a movie.

    when zonk and i tried out this tiny, tiny, like 400 sq ft at most cafe a while ago
    he was raging with the sex advice
    he was being normal voiced
    just talking like it was the news
    which was like, whatever - right
    the cafe was filled with older folks, who would look over every so often while he was regaling me with a tale of how he'd inserted a vibrating egg in a girl and went out for dinner with her
    but it was when i was shaking my head at his advice to me
    that he suddenly ups his voice
    and just basically yells,

    "JUST RIDE HIM. JUST DO IT. DON'T GIVE HIM A CHOICE, JUST GOD DAMN DO IT. RIDE HIM HARD."

    the food was okay.

    Zonk and I would spend time together now and then when we were in Vancouver. Around Rhia and I he wouldn't so much tell a lot of stories, but he had a lot of perspective on seemingly everything and was capable of really making anyone he hung around seem worth his time, like he was really happy to be around you.

    Same night as that "goatse" pic he and I posed for together was taken, the three of us walked over the Granville bridge. He was afraid of looking over the side, if I remember right.

    And the night that he and campion and bomb went bungie jumping, I was there too, and he took us to this restaurant in town that he'd been to before and talked up the food and how amazing it was. We sat outside on this really terrible porch, half of us baking in the sun. The owner was serving that night and we were having a hard time believing that the food would be worth it, but in an odd twist, his memory was actually accurate this time and the food was wonderful, as was the company.
