Have you formed any personal relationships from this site?

[Dave Gray]

Who are the people (if any) that you've met on TDMMC and formed some kind of outside relationship with?  It can be meeting them in person, IM, chatting, etc.

Is there anyone that you'd like to meet that you haven't?

[Sunstroke]

I plan on moving in next door to Lil_B at some point in the future...

I plan on meeting Maine on the mat one of these days, just for some friendly brawling...

I plan on hanging outside Tommy's house with a high powered sniper rifle one of these nights...

I met Philly more than once.

It was actually a really cool experience, because I was pretty hesitant about doing it.  I like for my online life and my private life to be somewhat separate.  I avoid giving out my phone number or even answering the phone because I think it opens Pandora's box.  But sometimes, situations arise where it seems okay.  Philly had business down here, and we were already going to the game, so we offered to pick him up from his hotel and give him a ride.  We secured a ticket for him and everything.  I figured that he was taking more of a risk than we were.

Anyway, it was great.  Philly was "my kind of people" and we've since met up one other time when he came down, as well as had IM conversations.


I've also met CF, Frimp, and Tommy, and some other non-regulars at games and events and those were good times, too.  I've also chatted with these guys privately through IM.


I've formed a pretty interesting relationship with Cyan.  We've chatted for hours about games and movies, though I've never met him in person.

...and I've spent several hours on the radio with Lil B and Maine at different times.


I'd meet with any of you guys if I was in your area.   I think I'd especially get along with Spider Dan and Tony B0D, given that we have a lot of similar interests.

I would also like to meet some of my rivals, like RTW and SCFinFan, just to see how we'd deal in "real life".  I imagine that it would be pretty fun, actually.

And for some strange reason, I want to have a beer with Denver Bronco.

[Phishfan]

I have met a bunch of you although some I doubt remember. I really don't hang out with anyone from the site other than for Dolphin events.

People I remember meeting:
Dave
Brian
CF
Tommy
Doc
Defense 5499
Stroke
Janet
Scar
I think Househead was at the game for Janet's birthday
St Louis
Sciotto

There are several I would like to meet.

[SportsChick]

I won't count the local crew since I think I met you all before I starting coming here.

Did get to meet Philly - Brian and I went up to Orlando when he and his family were there and went to the Disney Christmas party with them. Philly, Mrs. Philly and Little Philly are all wonderful people.

[Brian Fein]

I have met Philly a few times.  Once when he came down to go to the game (as Dave described), once when I was flying to Wisconsin thru Philly, and he was nice enough to meet me at the Philly airport to grab lunch.  And a third time when he and TonyB0D and I all went to Canton for Marino's induction.   That was a great trip.  (edit - oh yeah forgot about the Disney Christmas thing)  I'd say of all the people I've "met" thru this site, I have the closest relationship with Philly.

I've met CF at the games a few times, in addition to at Disney's Animal Kingdom once.  He thinks I drive like a maniac.

I've met Tommy and a bunch of people from Phinatics in Tampa.

I've met Frimp at the Dolphins' game as well, and we talk thru PM a lot.

I know some others have met up at games before as well...

Overall, I've never really had a terrible experience meeting internet people.  I had done it before with car-club meets and they always went well.  Its always a wierd experience putting names to faces.

I'd want to get together with more people if possible.  The more the merrier!

I became very close with one member of this site, but we no longer speak.

[Sunstroke]

I've met quite a few of the visiting members at tailgates...Philly, Frimp, Phishfan, CF, lots of them.

Weren't you at the Buffalo game in 2005 eating hot wings? I thought I met you there too. At that game, I met Tommy, Dave, Brian, Stroke, CF (I think CF made an appearance) and Doug from Phinatics. That was a really good time. We even partied with the cops after the game. I've hung out with Tommy a couple times since then. I'm going to be in Brevard County in about a week and a half. I may meet up with Brian during that trip...not sure yet.

Philly mentioned grabbing a beer with me when he comes down to his job's headquarters, and I'm up for that. Hopefully, it will be during football season so we can watch a Phins game too.

Of course, there is the Atlanta Falcons game next season in which I'm putting together and hosting a huge tailgate and game outing for anyone who is interested.  


I'd also like to have a beer with D_B, and one of these times, I'd like to show Jtex a thing or two about the video game Street Fighter II.  

[Phishfan]

^^^ No I didn't make it down for the wings.

You're my buddy no matter what. And you've always treated me well, too. I didn't mean you.

[MaineDolFan]

He meant me.  That Adam.  Sleep with the guy once and then he blows you off.  Nice friend.   

I'm with Dave.  Generally speaking: 
Internet friends <--------------------------> real life friends. 

That said, I would love to come down to Florida and meet just about anyone on this site.  A couple years back Mike and I (D_B) pm'd about meeting at the baseball HOF, I don't know if he ever remembers that.

I'm always willing to meet new people.  You can't have enough friends in this life. 

[SCFinfan]

You wish you were in my league, brother! Besides, we couldn't get married, wouldn't get full faith and credit in the sexually sane south.

[TonyB0D]

a few years back me philly and brian went on a roadtrip to ohio for marino's HOF.  that was the BEST.  those 2 dudes are super cool....i've actually hung out with philly quite a few times...i've gone to a philly/fins game down there, been to his house for a game, and he's come up here for a fins/jets game. good times.

i met stroke at the HOF trip, and although we only spent a few minutes chilling, he was awesome too. 

this fall i'm planning on making a trip to disney so i'll be sure to finally swing down to miami and catch a game with you fellas.

and Maine, within the next few months, we're either going to a lowell devils game or when it gets warmer we'll meet up somewhere halfway (like boston), and go cruisin on the steel ponies.

[YoFuggedaboutit]

I've met the following people through this site in real life:

Frimp
Doctor D
Phishfan
CF
Defense
Stl
Dave
Brian
Fau
Sunstroke
Rainman
Phinatic


I've hung out with Frimp a few times since we first met at the Buffalo game back in 2005.  I've also hung out with Doctor D and Phishfan several times.  Doctor D and I also have gone to a road Dolphins game together.    CF I hung out with a couple times, once with Phish for a Jets game, and once during the offseason when Stl was in town.  Defense once was in town for some police training, and I grabbed Doctor D and Phish and we watched a game together.   

Everyone else on my list I have met at Dolphin games. 

I plan on hanging outside Tommy's house with a high powered sniper rifle one of these nights.

You won't last long out there.
