melmer Posted July 11, 2014 I just found out Olly Moss lives in WInchester... thats like only half an hour away from where i live That's close enough for us to have a real life physical friendship! i don't know why i said physical (although he'd have to come to me, i'm not going all the way over to fucking Winchester) So i need your help readers! How should i go about striking up this friendship? Should i buy him a gift? He's got like +50K followers on twitter.... that's a lot of competition. How do i cut through the chaff? Shall i send him a tweet all in caps, That'll surely grab his attention, but what to say...? MEET ME AT EASTLEIGH TRAIN STATION, COME ALONE, I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU I've just sent him a friend request on Facebook. Too Soon? I'll let you know if he accepts.

melmer Posted July 11, 2014 Nope Winshester He's tweeting about some boring ass board game night in a cafe in Winchester. hmm, perhaps we wouldn't have that much in common after all. But HEY opposites attract right! We could be like Arnie and Deveto in Twins YAKETY YAK YAKETY YAK DONT TALK BACK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted July 11, 2014 Googles Justin Ishmael I don't know who that is but thanks! Anything that might help! I'll get a T-Shirt made up with "Justin Ishmael sent me" across the front and wear it to our fateful first meet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Architecture Posted July 11, 2014 You could get Justin Ishmael to make you that shirt, probably. Well, one of his goons. Justin is one of the guys in charge of running Mondo Tees (or Mondo Posters, whatever they call themselves now), and I know Mr. Moss has done lots of work for them previously. Justin shops at the comic store where I used to work, and he was always great to interact with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted July 11, 2014 I'm incredibly charmed by this well thought-out attempt. Please continue and update us on the Olly Moss Friendship Situation. Both you and he deserve this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prettyunsmart Posted July 11, 2014 Olly tweeted about a board game night he's going to, maybe you can meet cute there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted July 11, 2014 I cannot get over that Mington isn't willing to make a half-hour train journey. Also that Olly is playing board games in a pub and apparently this isn't cool to Mington. I'd clearly be a much better friend to Olly than Mington. Now all he has to do is move to the suburbs of Sydney so he'll be half an hour away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted July 11, 2014 Olly tweeted about a board game night he's going to, maybe you can meet cute there?I know right! In WINCHESTER! TONIGHT! Hell would literally freeze over before I attended that shitIt's not that it's not "cool", it's just that I'm really really really lazy We're having a BBQ in a couple of weeks time, I'll invite him to that (so I have the upper friend hand) Anyway this all depends on IF he accepts my friend request or pie's me in the face. The ball's in Olly's court! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
