RANT: Have You Ever Had a Friend... - Jan 21, 2008 - 06:00am
This is going back a little ways. OK, it dates me somewhat, but we had a group of five that used to watch ST:TNG religiously. Now, four of us were fans and loved the show, but when it was over, we would move on. One guy though, who shall remain nameless (OK, his name is Kevin), used to talk through the entire episode. And not just about Star Trek, but he would talk about all kinds of Sci-Fi stuff and what would happen is the universes crossed over. Finally we had to impose the "Kevin Rule", which stated a person could only speak during commercials unless the comment was about the episode being watched. Unfortunately, this did not stop him so we had to impose "Kevin Rule Two", which stated if you can't follow the original "Kevin Rule" you were not allowed to watch with the group. So we kicked him out of the ST:TNG group. He didn't seem to put out by it since we still hung out for awhile, at least until all the members of the group got jobs, girlfriends, and real world lives (all except Kevin, who still sits in his tiny basement apartment playing online video games and watching reruns of ST:TNG, when he's not working as a night shift security guard).
