Ok with Fifield's tip story, I'll bite.

Early in high school, I overheard a group of guys talking about a video game that sounded interesting. We didn't know each other that well, but we chatted about the game for a bit. As they told me about Everquest I was interested and later that week, I purchased the game at Gamestop; those raised bumps on the box got me excited; what was to come? As I got home rushed to the computer, installed the game, I thought to myself "the load screen art work, the music, this is going to be amazing." Being of the hero mindset, I made a Human Paladin. I somehow found my way to rats outside of the West Freeport gates. After dying over and over to rats, guards, snakes, a gnome, and a fat ogre, I was hooked. The next day at school I ran to my new friend and told him how I died from a large rat! He laughed at me and walked away, but not before he invited me to Wizards of the Coast that Friday to play with him and his group of friends. Little did I know this friendship would grow into something much more.

Sephix, a Shaman on this server is the one to blame for my Everquest addiction. Throughout high school Sephix and I became very good friends. We would have sleep overs and play Everquest all night, stay late after school and mess about on the forums, or every Friday go to the mall and play Everquest at Wizards of the Coast. We would play whenever we could and often.

On one Friday afternoon before going to Wizards of the Coast, someone in our group friends, I don't know who, thinking like a true high school adolescence , thought it would be funny if we started flagging each other. It became a tradition.

For those who don't know what flagging is:
Flagging
(v) The act of pulling another person's pants down.
My brother got in-school suspension after flagging a girl in gym.


So here we are, group of guys, who are trying to pull each others pants down at any opportunity to embarrass each other. This went on for weeks. Sweatpants where never worn, short strings where tied very tight, if you didn't have a belt on with your jeans you where in trouble.

Well, on one unsuspecting Friday, a laundry day; I didn't have any underwear to wear. "We were going to Wizards of the Coast, to play Everquest all night; Fuck it!" I thought, "they aren't going to get me today, i'll make sure of it." As I was about to get onto the bus to head to the mall, in front of everyone, bus driver, the cute girl I had a crush on, the group of guys who I had become very close friends with, yanked my pants down to my ankles so quick I didn't know what hit me. There I was, trying to onto the bus with my pants around my ankles bare-ass for the world to see with everyone laughing.

Well we did eventually get to Wizards of the Coast and we did play Everquest all night, but it wasn't before a nickname haunted me throughout high school. I was known as Bo-Jangles, since my balls where jangling open to the fresh air for all to see.

For the record, I am still great friends with Sephix. We still play Everquest as often as we can together, but more importantly we still are amazing loyal friends. I am sure most of you log in to Everquest or P99 due to the friendships you have developed. I know it's why I do. Now please don't call me Bo-Jangles anymore and if you do, give me a Fungi first.
