In Reply to: What I remember, and what could have happened... posted by The Marksman on December 02, 2001 at 03:04:00:

I remember me and Vin and this other dood Nick only had access to the internet via the computer in Kevin's office. So one day Vin told me about the board and we checked it out. It was the same ten or so people.

I started postin' as Huber and found the dorkiest guy on the board to make fun of. Saw someone named BQ and he posted lots and lots of punny wacky dopey crap so I started posting under every single post of his and made fun of him. He went back at me. I went back at him. Everyone in the board called for my blood.

I then went and posted saying I was actually a four hundred pound kid who was too fat to leave his room and was trying to make friends via the internet. I remember Vin was with me when I wrote it, and he came up with the funniest line to end it. "God Bless You All. Because he sure hasn't blessed me." Everyone STILL wanted my blood.

Kevin posted that I was a friend o' View Askew, and then told me to settle down. I did.

But then it started all sorts of up again. Because of, what I believe to be the FUNNIEST post ever.

One of the Riders wanted to do a movie. Call it RIDERS: THE MOVIE. Or THE RIDERS or something. They said "If Kevin could make a movie with little money, why can't we?", and then went on to say "maybe if he liked the script he'd even be into helping out with it!"

Whoever was writing the script (and please, someone, tell me it's still being written) told the other Riders to email character descriptions of who they'd like to play. This was kinda funny, as someone was writing a movie based on descriptions sent in by people that the writer has never actually met. Not an ideal way to write a movie, exactly, plus, I promise you every description would be "a kinda quiet, underappreciate yet really funny and sarcastic guy who's a little overweight but would totally be the best lover any girl ever had if he'd just get the chance".

So anyway, I posted a possible plot for said movie. I remember it should be about the Riders meeting reality. It would be a big event film as it's clear they never had yet.

This didn't go over well. Vin and I got shunned by the VA board, by Kevin, even Joey Adams commented "I thought Brian was nice, I didn't know he could be such an asshole", according to Missah Smith via email.

Lots of fans complained to Kevin about my fantastic RIDERS MEET REALITY movie idea, and Kevin, not wanting to hear it, gave them what they thought was my email. But, nope, it was my FATHER'S WORK EMAIL.

I was scared. Who knows what they'd say to my dad.

But they were all really really really nice. Polite.

Happy ending: I am much more mellow, slightly less caustic to board people, and the "BQ" that I started this whole mess with turned out to become one of my best friends and co-star in BIG HELIUM DOG and ANGRY NAKED PAT (he was Jim Morrison).

And I renamed THE RIDERS MEET REALITY, opting instead for NIGHTCRAWLERS and here we are.
