    GO BEAVS! WOOO!

    I make Twinkie (roommate) wear that exact "Beaver Believer" shirt, because I think it's funny and it makes us giggle.
    I saw a nother possible Corvallis PAXer today. There was a guy at the OSU Ballroom Dance Club wearing a Cardboard Tube Samurai shirt! I didn't get a chance to talk to him though, because of all the dancing... I wonder if he is on the forums...

    Oh we're everywhere, guaranteed. In the true sense of the phrase, I've literally run into PAXers on the street. :D When I was tiny, my dad would help me memorize vocab by saying we often notice an increase in the appearance of newly-acquired words. My knowledge of "PAX" applies to this principle as well, heh.

    Made changes to my spot on the map. I am no longer undecided, and will be driving "alone" (even though it won't really be alone, but whatever).

    I'm in San Antonio, TX, for any at all curious from within these forums.

    If you're not really alone, why not join the CCST?

    Because it's 500 miles out of the way and I can't get that kind of time off.

    Yeah, it's pretty much you, me and my cousin. Even in my own vehicle on the CCST, there are more people from other states than there are people from Ohio.

    Quality over quantity.

    And I'm going with several other Ohioans, so we aren't that rare...I'm just the only one who still lives in Ohio (we all graj-ee-ated last spring from college - one that is not a fan of Michigan, coincidentally - and they all moved for jobs/grad school).

    Pretty soon people will start referring to him as mentok instead of me!

    And look at our interests! There are way too similar! :!:

    The only things that make us different are location, age, profession and my interest in sex.

    Is it a healthy interest...or an unhealthy one?

    Besides, those are like the same interests for just about everyone on these forums. Nerds tend to like music, movies, games and food. What makes us each distinctive is in what order do you like said things. :P

    I just figured the interest in sex was understood. And the order for movies, music, and video games is alphabetical because I couldn't decide.

    If it helps, several of the peeps on CF call me TMT for short - so mentok is all you, no worries there.

    It has come to my understanding that some people aren't putting their point down because they don't want to register for the Community Walk website. So I'm offering a second option. Post here in the following format, and I will add you to the map myself.

    Add me!
    Your Name
    Your Location
    How you're getting to pax (Flying, Driving, Train, CCST, CST, WCTT or undecided)

    Props on the new site guys. Last year's defeated me. I think. I don't even know. Just threw a pin up there and kind of hoped it stuck. o_O

    Yeah frappr was buggy as hell and would randomly lose pins. Community Walk has been good and stable, the only downside is having to register for the site to put a pin down. Well, that and people not putting their handles as the title because they thing those will pop up automatically and instead put nothing or random things down for the title (I'm looking at you, "First PAX").

    Wow a lot more people in the Vancouver area than I thought...
    The prairies looks so sad right now.

    If anyone needs a ride down from the Vancouver area and is interested by this: 15 seat passenger van, head over to the Canadian CST thread
