No. I am absolutely crazy and this was a thing actually for a while before I got my PTSD symptoms under control.

I've been to several "goon meets", one of which was a TFR meetup in Texas. Everyone was pretty chill and cool, everyone had a good time.

The others are more groups of friends that also happen to be goons but I've never had a bad experience meeting internet folk in person.

My best friend who I've known since elementary school are goons too, we all discovered SA together or one of them found out about it I don't remember. Before that we were posting on GenMay which was an offshoot of the HardOCP forums. Met some TFR goons when I went shooting with them and my buddies, and then some other time in Vancouver when I was home on leave from Iraq or some junk I can't remember if they were actually goons or not. So, somehow I met some pretty alright dudes without encountering the weirdos. lol remember that video of lowtax and all the cringey goon hangers-on meeting his now ex girlfriend at the airport? Jesus Christ that was uncomfortable to watch. I can't talk much poo poo because I was a pretty cringey weirdo dork back then too.

I should clarify that the TFR shoot wasn't bad as far as weirdos. Just a massively unsafe range I would never repeat now that I'm not a death-denial teenager.

There was some "problematic" painting of cars overnight. Some ironically racist, one just covered in jizzing dicks all over.

Oh yeah and MaxPowers I met him when we both worked at target before I made the dumb decision to join the army and he went marine corps. I'm a terrible person and haven't gotten off my rear end to go say hi to you dude even thought we don't live far from each other.

Edit: also Slim Pickens when I somehow got his polonium shirt but he probably thought I was a weirdo haha, he seemed like a cool dude though.

I lucked out and the three goons with us I didn't have to worry about gun safety.

In early 2010 I got a message from The Rat saying he saw a dude wearing a McNally name tag and wearing a shoulder holster at the PX at VBC earlier that day.

I told him that I was wearing a McNally name tag and a shoulder holster when I was at the PX at VBC earlier that day.

That's the story of how I almost met another goon when I was in Iraq.

He and I were gonna do the same thing when I was driving through Bumfuck, TN, but something threw off the scheduling so I didn't get to meet him.

That's a shame, IIRC I almost missed out on meeting him as well because I stopped at a gas station and took a nap around 4am. He'd been awake for like 30 hours or something when I got to his area, but he still came out to chill and discuss the best topping combos for Waffle House hashbrowns. :3:

I've only met two goons, Mel Mudkiper from TFF since I moved to his hometown and the guy that got the TFR classifieds to close after he got into a dispute.with blind gun dealer over a Browning Hi Power stock. Oh and I think I bought a 9mm AR 15 barrel from McNally.

Haha that picture is funny cause Lowtaxs life is probably wayyyyy sadder than the goon he's sneering at.

Although not as sad as the people who greeted him and his mail order bride at the airport. Not by a really long shot

I became a goon because I ended up playing War Thunder with some loving nerds, and years later the other goon showed up to my BCT graduation and it was creepy.


Other goon still does my taxes and sends my wife gifts, like the handbag she uses all the time.


It's weird.

I have a problem where I associate people with their avatars so much that it kinda fucks me up when they don't look like them.

For instance, Deathy always looks like SGT Chowdown in my minds eye, and HCT looks like Freddy Mercury.

I meet some goons every year when I go to GenCon. We usually all just get super loving drunk and make fun of the people inexplicably goonier than ourselves. Like, very drunk. 80?% of them are normal looking people who just have a dead gay forum in common. The other 20% are literal caricatures of goon stereotypes that I SWEAR TO GOD do not know how to have normal human conversations.
