I would like to take this time to apologize in advance for two things: first, I'm just about positive I will forget a few people during my shout outs and that in no way means that I didn't cherish my experiences with you: there were so many people I met for the first time that I was star-struck most of the time. 😛 The second thing is that since I met so many people, I just had to do as many shout-outs as I could because there were so many I did talk to.
Without further delay...here are my shout-outs!
Team Canada:
Snail Shell - Dude, you were the very first person of this fine community that I met in Toronto once upon a "weather couldn't decide if it wanted to rain or snow" night. You made it possible for me to go to NEST with little fear and I can never thank you enough. It was awesome to see you @ NEST and do the kidnapping with ya! Peace my same name brother from another mother!
Tickle_Emperor - You were absolutely awesome bud! If it weren't for Lamashtu, you easily would have be'en the most consistently energetic person there! Can't wait to see ya again, maybe FROST!
Lamashtu - Girl, you were all kinds of win! I was so effing glad to have met you and I'm very glad you had fun @ the talent show. (You = better date for RobAce) Anytime you would run somewhere in the hotel, you looked like you were bounding like a deer: super epic cute! I hope to get the chance to see you again!
evibard and TPT - It was great to see you again Drew, and an absolute pleasure to meet you Christine! I hope you two had fun over the weekend. At some point I'll join you for said ground convoy and take in the full Team Canada experience. Take care you 2.
Ticklish 9s - TIMMAY!!! We didn't get the chance to talk much but you were so awesome to be around - drunk and sober! I hope to get the chance to talk more in the future!
Mushy - Une autre personne de l'Ontario qui comprends français...we are indeed a dying breed. 😛 It was cool to meet you and I'll keep you, and everyone, posted on the Munch here in Ottawa! PM me about the pics - got a nice one of you and the Monday dress - super sweet! Talk to you soon!
Not Team Canada 😛 :
Tklee88 - From the moment I texted you that I was in the hotel (I heard your laugh!) to the moment we said our goodbyes on Monday, you were amongst the people I really wanted to meet and was so damn glad I did. You were full of awesomeness and PWNED that you were a blast to hang around! Epic Mini-Rhino hugs and tickling you from behind. Lucky I caught the tail end of your kidnap session with the counts - your facial reactions were beyond priceless! I can't wait to see you again but I know for a fact that we'll talk more very soon. Later Hernanugget Tuffpants!
falcon - How in the sam hell did we get from the airport to the hotel, me figuring the whole time it was you, and me not saying a word... GRAND FAIL on my part! You were epic and a pleasure to meet. Car ride to karaoke was awesome - you and Capnmad getting PurrBast, pissed I didn't film it but, oh wait, I was in on it too! 😀 Keep in touch brah!
Kraziedog and Musicroxmysox - I had such a blast getting to know you 2! You were extremely cute together and our conversations went from down to earth, to f***ed up, to COOKIE TITS. 😀 That trip to Wal-Mart was something - heh heh small doors. 😛 I had such a good time over the weekend and a lot of that was because of the both you talking to me and making me feel welcome! Thank you so very much and I hope to see one or both of you really soon. 🙂
RobAce - As I said in your thread, you sir are the definition nay the poster boy of class, respect and conversation! It was amazing to meet you and I'm definitely gonna try to listen in on more of your shows during it's hour instead of after otr WAY AFTER. Team Canada supports Team Mexico! 😀
Slacker - It was a great pleasure to meet you and your gf my good man. 🙂 First pic of mine - somebody exclaiming "Finally, somebody taller than you!" 😛 Listening to the banter between you and Krazie was fun as hell! Take care and I hope to talk to you again soon.
LeeAllure - "Hey and this is Tom, he came all the way from Texas... uhhhh, nope that's not me". 😛 You are an amazingly resilient lady! Even through all of the stuff happening on Sunday, you held your ground and composure and came out on top and stronger than ever. It was an absolute honour to meet you and I hope I get the chance to do so again, perhaps talk more mext time. Thank you for all the time and work you put in to make NEST what it is - about the people! 😀
Brighteyes - We never got the chance to talk very much, you were very busy with getting stuff done for NEST, Max and Lee. I just wanted to say how much I commend you for walking on that spotted hotel floor, where who knows what happened on it before and for all the work you did getting everything ready and streamlined. 🙂 I hope I get the chance to talk more with you next time. Take care
TickleChgo - Thanks for the opportunity to be a GOON! If you need me in the future, I'll be there to help. Your banana shirt was classic to the utmost degree - laughed when I read what Rob did with the banana. I am absolutely looking forward to meeting you again.
desdemona - One of the few people who either spoke french or has been to Montreal, Canadian or not-Canadian. It was a lot of fun talking with you and I am glad you had fun in Montreal while you were there. I think, as the weekend went on, all I saw happening to you was getting either massage PWNed or outright tickle PWNed. 😀 Anytime you're in Ottawa, drop me a line and I'll recommend the best ways to see the city! See you soon. 🙂
Texastickler - Tom, it was an absolute pleasure to finally meet you dude! I don't think we hung out very much at NEST but actually getting to meet you and tty in person was amazing. The Wal-Mart trip was an experience in itself - "I need smokes or I'm going to lose it!" 😛. TTY soon buddy
HDS/DSL/Property of Team JoManda - Watched your epic launch into
Amnesiac - running and bringing your body in before jumping over the plants - only to watch your epic win turn into an epic fail...that really sucks dude. It was a pleasure to meet you, however fleeting it was busy man. My compliments to the chef and his outstanding culinary arts! I hope to be able to talk more with you soon.
Camel26 - Shira, it was amazing to finally meet you and like HDS had mentioned, another Tickletheater representative! It sure looked like you were having a blast the whole time! I can't wait to see you again @ NEST.
Impaler - It was great to meet you good sir though it was a might sad to see someone get so PWNed so consistently... 😛 I hope I get the chance to talk more with you the next time I see ya.
Amnesiac - I had a f***ing blast talking to you Ted! While my movie knowledge doesn't measure up quite to yours, I definitely want to have some sort of a "movie-off" with you...might be stupid but Scene It would be perfect! Your Shatner set-up was so freaking awesome - I honestly was thinking that Libertine sounded like Patrick Stewart when you barged in! 😀 Can't wait to see ya again!
Korastus - I'm glad I had the chance to meet you. Really glad you were able to pull through both instances - thou art a soldier! With the exception of those two times, you appeared to be having an amazing time and it was awesome to talk and do Nifty Fiftys. Really looking forward to talking more soon!
Fireguardian - Wtf is up with coming, staying for 5 minutes, then disappearing only to reappear again later for another 5 minutes and repeat cycle. 😛 j/k It was a huge breath a fresh air to meet another super passionate hockey fan...just wait until the Leafs actually become relevant again, whenever that ends up being. I wish we had more time to hang out together but we shall have to make up for lost time the next time we meet! 😀 GO LEAFS GO!
Capnmad - YETI!!! The car ride to Karaoke was definitely amongst the bright moments of my weekend: you and falcon on the wings, me in front and a completely helpless and defenseless Purr in between...Major PWNage was had! I had a lot of fun meeting and talking to you and I can't wait to see ya again. We'll sucker Purr into the middle seat again for sure! 😀
Filthyweasel - The man with the means to make the majority of the female gender swoon over you almost instantly - I haz a serious impressed! LOL 😛 It was awesome to meet you, though I heard about your rather interesting night rooming with Purr and Skippy - toasty and something on your back? 😛 Talk more next time, my Scottish friend!
Tahariel - It was very nice to meet you though it sucked that you had to leave early. Looked like you had fun in the rope bondage harness! Johnny Test FTW!!!! Take care and hopefully hear from you sooner than later. 🙂
Rupert - It was great to meet you Marine! It was really fun listening to the conversation you were having with that veteran in the drink line at the hotel - I learned quite a bit and felt humbled. Take care sir and it was a pleasure. Cheers!
Skippy - You are THE EPIC! Epic floats around you, it gravitates towards you, everything you touch turns EPIC. Hell, our hugs were beyond EPIC! I had such an amazing time being around you, shoulder to shoulder @ Nifty Fiftys, cuddling on the couches while HDS' cookies found their epically, "full of sugary sweet goodness" home. Our faces in my pics were beyond priceless. 😛 The Skippy Litter was so cute. Nifty Fiftys shake - turned EPIC due to your touch and mention! I am counting down the days to when we can meet again. Until that time, arrivederci! Icanhazatlkonskypenaoplz? Kbai!
kassilei - Firstly, my apologies for shifting my legs around when you would sit on them - I think I wanted to get you to lean back so I could hug you while you sat and so you could be comfortable but the calf raise and hold was tiring on the calves... 😛 Sorry. You were one of the first people I met at NEST and I am really glad I got to meet you. Thank you for dragging me out to Karaoke - it was a blast when all was said and done! I can't wait to see you again Kassi, whenever that ends up being! 😀
Natural - We had a lot of fun dude, through I actually didn't get the chance to talk to you much. Got some awesome pics of the Lean, your advice about Purr's and BBB Ver. 12.0 and 13.0 were full of awesome. See ya @ Bella's and I'm remaining neutral in yours and Purr's Street Fighter-off! 😀
asutickler - RHINO!!! Again, didn't talk much with ya buddy but had loads of fun listening to yours and Krazie's renditions of Libertine's "Two Knotty Boys" shtick. 😛 NINJA RHINO was awesome! Glad to have met ya and hope to see you again!
subtle_feather- It was great to meet you Gregg...such great timing that you could join us in celebrating Birthday Ver. 13.0 @ Nifty Fiftys. 😀 😀 😀 Hope to talk more soon and hoopefully see you at my next gathering, be it Bella's, NEST or something else.
nenezinho - Rui, it was a pleasure to meet you...still horrendously embarassed about my lack of native tongue - I promise to learn for next time! Take care my friend and I will seek you out if and when I travel to my dad's home island of Madeira. 🙂
kered - I definitely see how you became the Gold Standard. Like our good, if vertically challenged, Mexican friend you are a gentleman and it was a great pleasure to meet you. Hope to see you again, sir!
Pokey - A great pleasure to meet you and shake your hand Jim. Glad your drive to NEST and back was stress-free. Take care.
Baldadonis and Sasaxrah - You two were full of awesome! Rock Band with you guys was so much fun. Baldy - simply put, WE F***ING OWNED DANCING QUEEN! Karaoke again? 😀 Sarah - I definitely wish I had more of a chance and time to chat with you...Anchroman quotes only go so far. 😛 Until next time, YOU STAY CLASSY!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, CAN I PLEASE HAVE YOUR ATTENTION? I'VE JUST BEEN HANDED AN URGENT AND HORRIFYING NEWS STORY. I NEED ALL OF YOU TO STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND LISTEN...CANNONBALL!!!
Chaneda and Persephone - It was such a thrill to meet the both of you! Seeing you tied into the x-frame Perse was a sight and seeing you getting PWNed later on the inversion table must have be'en an experience for you - I was cheering for you to have a tuff but you had none of that. 😛 Take care you 2 and talk to you soon!
Jpie - I was so glad to be able to meet you and talk to you - I absolutely loved your accent!!!! 😀 I really do hope I get the chance to meet and talk with you again because the small time we had - some couches and Nifty Fiftys - were so much fun! Take care.
Classy - Another fair lady I did not get much of a chance to see or talk to until Nifty Fiftys. It was great to meet you and I hope to see you again and talk more soon! 🙂
Libertine and Kittentoes - I want to thank the both of you for your very educational, light-hearted and enlightening classes as well as the time you both put in to "the NEST experience". Vampire costumes FTW. I didn't get much of a chance to talk to the both of you - something I would dearly like to rectify next gathering or next NEST. Take care until then, arrivederci!
kayaker - It was a pleasure to meet ya sir! Seemed like you were having a very good time and anytime ya need a hand, let me know! Peace and out my friend
EntangledMind - Norm, shame to find out you left early but I fully understand - found out from Purr. 🙂 I do want to thank you for using your car, putting your trust into a Canadian to get us all home from karaoke and for the chill time on Saturday - much needed. 😛 I look forward to seeing you again, reading more from you on TMF and speaking more to you in person - a pleasure and then some to meet you.
Avenger and Aylajane - Apples to Apples was a lot of fun with you guys! Avenger - Priceline commercial 😀 Great GOONing with you! Aylajane - My apologies for my inexperience at using scarf ties but it was fun doing a number on your toes. 😛 (I swear I was just succumbing to peer pressure, everyone else was doing it! 😛 ) I can't wait until next time to see ya, until then take care you 2. 😀
Brucetheshark - Now you sir were a blast to talk to, whenever I had the chance. The man who instantly puts fear into a Natural's eyes. 😛 Now I understand how you put Bella in her place! 😀 I will see you @ Bella Bash!
BELLARISA - I can't put into words how awesome it was to meet you in person Bella! Just listening to your conversations, whether at breakfast, NEWBIAN CLASS, couches or Nifty Fiftys, was amazing fun!
Alchemy - LIKE A GLOVE!!! Dude you need to use that as your next NEST quote so you, Purr and I can exhaust the Ace Ventura theme to death! It was great to meet you and talk with you a bit @ Famous Daves. Watching you use your glove on Persephone and briefly on Purr was awesome. Looking forward to seeing you again!
NG02 - Like I said in your tribute thread, I'm gonna make it a ritual now to get at least one picture (with or without you) doing your now famous smile! We didn't talk much until Nifty Fiftys, I think you were busy with a certain Classy girl and a certain bratgirl. 😛 I can't wait to talk to you again, maybe Bella's. Later bro!
Venray and Raya - Count me among the extremely ecstatic that you were able to come out, if only for a day! It was amazingly awesome to meet the both of you, finally, as you two were two of the people before NEST that I really wanted to meet @ NEST...figuring that was kaiboshed when I heard you weren't coming. The both of you are some of the strongest people I have ever met and I greatly look forward to the time where we can all sit down and have a much longer chat. 😀
Euphoricy and esoteric - You 2 look very cute together and you both seemed to have had way too much energy. 😛 Euphoricy - You are another one I must commend for going barefoot in the hotel as I believe I mostly saw you without any form of shoes when you were walking. Great job with Mmmmbop...did I just say that? 😛 esoteric - it was great to meet you and it was awesome talking to you at Famous Daves. Damn those hamsters... 😛 Looking forward to talking more with the both of you next time, whenever that is. 🙂
NEST VETS: Max Speer, mkeemer, Big John, etc. - As a NEST newbie, I would like to thank all of you for your great work in setting the whole event up and making it such a relaxed atmosphere for everyone. Please keep up the great work for all of the NEST newbies to come!
Mass-shout outs to those I was happy to meet but unfortunately did not get much chance to speak to:
Spotman & Spot Lady, bratgirl, Tortuga and Darkhand, Hypnogirl aka Trilby, CrystalLight, fishman, Milagros, kwildoctor & lite, Viper GTS & SapphireRose, Tklduo-Ann and Tklduo-Drew, Blood, Armpitlovr and more I'm sure. (Again my apologies if we met but I have forgotten you. 🙂 )
and finally, last but certainly nowhere close to least
PurrBast - Lovely lady, you rocked my weekend more than anyone @ NEST! What started as a compliment of your art on Friday erupted into a full-blown friendship in no time flat. We hung out a lot together and you seriously became, in 3 days, one of my best friends bar none. A piece of me did feel sorry for you being stuck in the middle seat - but that piece was gone the moment I started goosing your knees. 😀 I'm not that bad a driver...I'm just very good at adapting to driving situations at a moment's notice. 😛 A timeline from Famous Daves back to the couches: Let's play Bullshit, let's get cards, there's a Target, got cards, got back to hotel, we playing Bullshit?, not feeling like playing Bullshit, why did I buy the cards?, FUCK IT! We have them for next time, in their original packaging too! 😀 It was an absolute pleasure to have had the chance to demonstrate my awesome foot massage skills on your soft skin...Katie likes my skills too and Christina might shoot me if I don't massage her.(Gregg and Morgan - please hate the game and not the playa! 😀 ) [While I thanked Natural for directing me to pick up your feet, I am remaining neutral in your Street Fighter-off, steadfastly neutral! 😛 ] Lookin sexy teach - going to Nifty Fiftys. I think you were one of the only ladies left who still had Rob's flower on them and/or in their hair - nice one too! Inducted into the Lean as the Inappropriate Librarian, congratulations! (I'll spell it right from now on 🙂 ) More foot massage fun before COOKIE TITS...everything Lyz touches or touches Lyz becomes EPIC! ACE VENTURA FOREVER FTW!!! Shish-kabob, Shawshank Redemption, CHICAGO!, LIKE A GLOVE, HIGH-HO SILVER! AWAAAAAYYYY, NOW IF I CAN JUST FIND A PARKING SPOT! Extremely hard goodbye Sunday night, an amazing hug from me than Queen Herna b4 going to bed. Wife of Lyz, you are above and beyond an amazing person and I am so thankful to have met you and to have you as a best friend - whenever you need to talk, you know how to reach me! 😀
It was because of all of you that I had such a great time so from the bottom of my heart-bone I would like to thank you and because of all of you I intend to see you all again...if not Bella's or another gathering than definitely next NEST.
Thank you

EntangledMind - Norm, shame to find out you left early but I fully understand - found out from Purr. 🙂 I do want to thank you for using your car, putting your trust into a Canadian to get us all home from karaoke and for the chill time on Saturday - much needed. 😛 I look forward to seeing you again, reading more from you on TMF and speaking more to you in person - a pleasure and then some to meet you.
Avenger and Aylajane - Apples to Apples was a lot of fun with you guys! Avenger - Priceline commercial 😀 Great GOONing with you! Aylajane - My apologies for my inexperience at using scarf ties but it was fun doing a number on your toes. 😛 (I swear I was just succumbing to peer pressure, everyone else was doing it! 😛 ) I can't wait until next time to see ya, until then take care you 2. 😀
Brucetheshark - Now you sir were a blast to talk to, whenever I had the chance. The man who instantly puts fear into a Natural's eyes. 😛 Now I understand how you put Bella in her place! 😀 I will see you @ Bella Bash!
BELLARISA - I can't put into words how awesome it was to meet you in person Bella! Just listening to your conversations, whether at breakfast, NEWBIAN CLASS, couches or Nifty Fiftys, was amazing fun!
Alchemy - LIKE A GLOVE!!! Dude you need to use that as your next NEST quote so you, Purr and I can exhaust the Ace Ventura theme to death! It was great to meet you and talk with you a bit @ Famous Daves. Watching you use your glove on Persephone and briefly on Purr was awesome. Looking forward to seeing you again!
NG02 - Like I said in your tribute thread, I'm gonna make it a ritual now to get at least one picture (with or without you) doing your now famous smile! We didn't talk much until Nifty Fiftys, I think you were busy with a certain Classy girl and a certain bratgirl. 😛 I can't wait to talk to you again, maybe Bella's. Later bro!
Venray and Raya - Count me among the extremely ecstatic that you were able to come out, if only for a day! It was amazingly awesome to meet the both of you, finally, as you two were two of the people before NEST that I really wanted to meet @ NEST...figuring that was kaiboshed when I heard you weren't coming. The both of you are some of the strongest people I have ever met and I greatly look forward to the time where we can all sit down and have a much longer chat. 😀
Euphoricy and esoteric - You 2 look very cute together and you both seemed to have had way too much energy. 😛 Euphoricy - You are another one I must commend for going barefoot in the hotel as I believe I mostly saw you without any form of shoes when you were walking. Great job with Mmmmbop...did I just say that? 😛 esoteric - it was great to meet you and it was awesome talking to you at Famous Daves. Damn those hamsters... 😛 Looking forward to talking more with the both of you next time, whenever that is. 🙂
NEST VETS: Max Speer, mkeemer, Big John, etc. - As a NEST newbie, I would like to thank all of you for your great work in setting the whole event up and making it such a relaxed atmosphere for everyone. Please keep up the great work for all of the NEST newbies to come!
Mass-shout outs to those I was happy to meet but unfortunately did not get much chance to speak to:
Spotman & Spot Lady, bratgirl, Tortuga and Darkhand, Hypnogirl aka Trilby, CrystalLight, fishman, Milagros, kwildoctor & lite, Viper GTS & SapphireRose, Tklduo-Ann and Tklduo-Drew, Blood, Armpitlovr and more I'm sure. (Again my apologies if we met but I have forgotten you. 🙂 )
and finally, last but certainly nowhere close to least
PurrBast - Lovely lady, you rocked my weekend more than anyone @ NEST! What started as a compliment of your art on Friday erupted into a full-blown friendship in no time flat. We hung out a lot together and you seriously became, in 3 days, one of my best friends bar none. A piece of me did feel sorry for you being stuck in the middle seat - but that piece was gone the moment I started goosing your knees. 😀 I'm not that bad a driver...I'm just very good at adapting to driving situations at a moment's notice. 😛 A timeline from Famous Daves back to the couches: Let's play Bullshit, let's get cards, there's a Target, got cards, got back to hotel, we playing Bullshit?, not feeling like playing Bullshit, why did I buy the cards?, FUCK IT! We have them for next time, in their original packaging too! 😀 It was an absolute pleasure to have had the chance to demonstrate my awesome foot massage skills on your soft skin...Katie likes my skills too and Christina might shoot me if I don't massage her.(Gregg and Morgan - please hate the game and not the playa! 😀 ) [While I thanked Natural for directing me to pick up your feet, I am remaining neutral in your Street Fighter-off, steadfastly neutral! 😛 ] Lookin sexy teach - going to Nifty Fiftys. I think you were one of the only ladies left who still had Rob's flower on them and/or in their hair - nice one too! Inducted into the Lean as the Inappropriate Librarian, congratulations! (I'll spell it right from now on 🙂 ) More foot massage fun before COOKIE TITS...everything Lyz touches or touches Lyz becomes EPIC! ACE VENTURA FOREVER FTW!!! Shish-kabob, Shawshank Redemption, CHICAGO!, LIKE A GLOVE, HIGH-HO SILVER! AWAAAAAYYYY, NOW IF I CAN JUST FIND A PARKING SPOT! Extremely hard goodbye Sunday night, an amazing hug from me than Queen Herna b4 going to bed. Wife of Lyz, you are above and beyond an amazing person and I am so thankful to have met you and to have you as a best friend - whenever you need to talk, you know how to reach me! 😀
It was because of all of you that I had such a great time so from the bottom of my heart-bone I would like to thank you and because of all of you I intend to see you all again...if not Bella's or another gathering than definitely next NEST.
Thank you

FUCKING BORDERS!!
