Let's talk about the times we've interacted with goons IRL, intentionally or accidentally.

Unintentional:
In like 2005, I went to a Best Buy near me while wearing my CNST t-shirt. The Best Buy greeter did the Stairs routine and I pretended I had no loving clue what he was talking about, because he was the stereotypical fat pasty goon.

Several years later, in 2009 or so, I worked for a bank call center. I took a call from a dude, and I noticed a pending $9.95 transaction from SA. I told him I also post here and went on with the rest of the call without saying or doing anything goony.

Intentional:
In 2010 I was getting into weed and was too much of a bitch to try to find a dealer in the traditional methods. I posted in the TCC "post your info" thread and looked for local goons. I PMd one and asked about a hookup. He said he would help me out. We arranged to meet at his house, and he told me to walk around to the back door and go inside. I arrived to find it was a huge house on a nice lake. I sat in my car nervously for a few minutes before mustering the courage to walk into a stranger's house. Uhhh, there's no one here.... A few minutes later, a woman walked into the room, startled, and asked who I am. It was his mom. I quickly came up with the lie that I was a friend from school, waiting for the goon that I can't remember the name of now. She seemed to buy it and told me he should be home soon. He was supposed to be here already... I waited and waited, getting increasingly nervous until a kid appears in the backdoor. He is literally a loving high schooler. I was probably 24 at the time. So we greet, he says the weed is at his friend's house. I drive separate from him, and again find myself walking into a stranger's house. Into a basement with more high schoolers. I manage to get my stuff and leave, feeling very strange about the experience. When I tried to contact him again, he ghosted on me and I never heard from him again.

I quickly found another local goon who was willing to sell from the same thread. This guy didn't want to provide the direct hookup but would refer me to his source. He wasn't sure about the quantity I asked for, being that he would typically buy in ounces, whereas I was a weed noob and was buying 1/8s. Since I wanted such low quantities, he agreed to sell to me from his own stock. We met at a neutral location and did the deal in his car for the first several times. He is a chill middle-aged hippie basically, and we hit it off right away. After that, he invited me to his home to deal. He has a chill wife and had 3 cats at the time I first went to his house. He basically became my weed dad, and is still my guy 8 years later. His wife frequently gives me cool artsy stuff, weed-infused food or whatever else. They are really cool people and I'm glad to have met them. :3:

Now tell me your stories!

I went to the recent Beer Hall Putz in Queens organized by Lowtax. Talked to him about non internet stuff, smoked cigs with other goons and had a good talk with frags sister about X Files. Only a few goons acted out, and only in small bursts. I was the most handsome goon there. Overall, a nice time.

I met goons when I started college and a goon bought me my account in 2005 and he mods a sub forum. They was all pretty good people.

Idk if they still are good people, and can’t vouch for their behavior in the meantime.

Statistically it’s possible some became murderers or deviants of some kind.

My old roommate hosted a goon meet (!) about 12 or 13 years ago. About 6 nerds came to our apartment and we smoked weed and watched some of the George Clooney Batman movie on tv for a bit before I went to the bar with my friends.

I went and shot guns with a goon at a gun range. It was pretty neat.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
Had a goon join a board game club I go to regularly before he moved, great taste in games and generally solid guy.

Also don’t know if it counts since he doesn’t really post here much anymore, but I met Rocco and the Mega64 crew a couple weeks ago. Cool times, got to visit a post office and ate a burrito.

Those grenade decals some people have on their car's rear windshield don't have anything to do with SA, do they? If they do, then I've randomly seen some goons driving on the road over the years. If not, well nada!

I was hanging out at a bar a couple years back and got to talking with some random guy in a suit about poker and his work and he told me about how he ran a WoW classic server on an internet comedy forum but prefaced it with "it's kinda embarrassing..." So it's good to know random bar goons are still capable of shame about our mutual association.

All men live in fear of him and his Moxie.
Many years ago in college, someone set up a goon meet for a concert in a bar. He said he would be wearing a crazy cowboy hat.
I went, and when I saw him, I thought he was really weird and decided not to be a part of whatever was happening.

He later posted that no one showed up, and asked how anyone could miss him when he was wearing that crazy hat.

I’m sorry, weird looking cowboy hat goon. I had too many weirdos in my life at the time and didn’t need another.

The closest i ever got to a goon meet was posting a picture of a car in LoDo near shelby's and having a goon (nolan arenado, but not that nolan arenado) go, "hey i know where that is" and offering to buy him a beer if he's ever downtown.

Didnt happen. :-(

I must win every thread in GBS. I don't care how much banal semantic quibbling and shitty posts it takes.
I went to one in the early 00's? Toby and Bizarro Toby were the only goons of note I can remember seeing. It was at the Miramar in Milwaukee. Then we went to some diner, and I felt really out of place with all these weirdo fucks around me and I realized that maybe I wasn't as goony as I thought. The woman next to me was talking about a video game she played in a really condescending way. I was not impressed.

Oh yeah, we went to Landmark to bowl too.
