Happy Memorial Day!

The LXG crew (sans Tony who lives in North Carolina) came together this weekend to celebrate and remember the fallen soldiers who helped protect the freedoms we enjoy in this great country. Make no mistake about it, this IS the greatest country in the world.

Last night the crew shared a special moment. We were relaxing after the Saturday night affair (AKA party) by having a few drinks. We were flipping through the channels and came upon my guilty pleasure, Meerkat Manor.

I sat their nervously for a second, not wanting to change the channel. I looked over at Jamar who had the same expression on his face. I looked back at Justin who seemed more concerned about the lack of beer in his bottle. It was a tense moment for all of us.

I finally broke the silence and stated, “I like this damn show,” or something along the same lines. It was then, and only then, that the tension was broken and we all confessed our love for the furry little bastards. We cried, we laughed, and we reassured each other of our manhood. We all turned out to be experts. Hell, Jamar knew more about the older characters than I did.

All in all, it was a great night. We watched Meerkat Manor, Unbeatable Banzuke, got destroyed by Justin in COD4, and finally settled on some Super Smash Bros.

Happy Memorial Day!

Games of Yore update later today.
