• How come The Lazlo Society does't have a annual reunion?

Well? We should.

Do you really think it's a good idea to get everyone together in one, easily bombable location?

And that's not including the various interpersonal relationship dysfunctions that are sure to crop up.

Yeah, that's what I want. A whole forum of do-gooders, some with government contacts knowing my face.

Call me paranoid.

It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you.

Hi Ben,

I like the idea, but Dad isn't too keen on that one so it looks like if there is one I won't get to go.

Hannah

PS: He's still pretty angry about a lot of things I guess. He usually just goes quiet and gives a look when somebody mentions your name.

Ok then folks, its settled. This Memorial Day weekend (May 2010) I and the Cypress Cove Lazlo Society Annex will hold the Society's first Annual Reuion and BBQ, (BYOB).

Of course I still have to plan everything out, make preparations, buy food, get things ready.

Oh....and I do believe attendance should be mandatory, or at least RSVP.

Posted: **Sat Jan 23, 2010 11:35 am**

I can say I definitely won't be there.

Your loss man, your loss.

Yeah, well, I'll just have to suck it up. I wouldn't want to put you in a position where you'd have to arrest me.

Posted: **Sat Jan 23, 2010 12:04 pm**

Why would I have to? Better yet, why would I want to?

Posted: **Sat Jan 23, 2010 12:10 pm**

You're a sherrif, aren't you? It's your job to arrest law breakers, isn't it?

Posted: **Sat Jan 23, 2010 12:11 pm**

You sayin' you're a law breaker?

Posted: **Sat Jan 23, 2010 12:13 pm**

Well, to be strictly technical.

I'm not wanted anywhere. Not even for questioning.

Yet.

Posted: **Sat Jan 23, 2010 12:20 pm**

Then technically I have no grief with ya' and we have no reason not to throw back a couple of cold Black Rabbits.

Posted: **Sat Jan 23, 2010 12:32 pm**

That's a very kind offer...

...but it's is still in my best interest not to be seen. Especially at a gathering of Lazlolites.

Posted: **Sat Jan 23, 2010 12:40 pm**

I you say so. Watch your back then is all I can say. I have seen men like you come and go like water through a sieve round here many times before. It ended, baddly, for all of them.

Posted: **Sat Jan 23, 2010 12:45 pm**

Well, I've been hanging around here for 18 months and counting.

And I've kept myself alive for many years before that.

Really, running solo has a lot of advantages.

Posted: **Sat Jan 23, 2010 4:21 pm**

Yep; nobody to miss ya' when your dead.

Posted: **Sat Jan 23, 2010 4:24 pm**

There's also no one to use against me, neither.

No one who's going to get hurt when something big, ugly and hairy comes to punch my ticket.

How many others here can claim that the only one they're risking is themselves?

Posted: **Sat Jan 23, 2010 5:23 pm**

It used to be a lot easier out there when the only one at home for me was Mr. Fluffers. Now I have to stop and wonder sometimes. Now I have to make sure those I care about are safe first before I get to work.

Hannah has been directly threatened a few times and there's been times that she's been directly targeted.

Is it worth it?

Would it still be worth it if anything ever happened to her?

Would it be worth it if she were left without you?

I'm not trying to be a dink (it comes effortlessly), I am simply curious.

Posted: **Sat Jan 23, 2010 5:33 pm**

Those sorts of thoughts have definitely changed the way I deal with a lot of things.

Posted: **Sat Jan 23, 2010 5:39 pm**

I imagine they would.

But you're still doing what you do so I guess on some level you figure the need outweighs the risk.

Posted: **Sat Jan 23, 2010 6:57 pm**

Well the needs grew at the same time the risks did.

You won't ever understand Nemmy cause ya' don't have anyone in your life. Yeah, yeah, I know you prefer it that way and whatever, but then why do you do it?

Doin' what we do as often as we do it, and without any motivation other to get paid for it? You have one pittiful and hollow existance man. I used to think like that back when I worked for..........oh nevermind that, but still. Without conscious or care you just start goin' through the motions. Its no longer a callin', but instead just another job with a paycheck.

It wasn't until my family came into it that it became personal. Molly lost her mother about 3 years ago to a sociopath that was plaging the boards. I became her family and thats when I realized that it was no long just a job anymore. That little girl gave me a reason to stand up and fight. Then Kelly and I got married, and we had a kid of our own not too long ago. That strengthened my resolve even more and is what compelled me to return to these boards after all this time.

What we do is not some job, it is in fact a calling. For some reason or another the few of us here on these boards were chosen; be it chance, fate, or just dumb luck.

One day Nem, you will have your eyes opened when it happens to you.

It's never been a calling for me. It's always been just a paycheck.
And one I don't feel guilty collecting for once.

Just to play devils advocate here for a moment :evil:

but why would I expose another human being to the risk I choose to face? How is that fair to them? How can it be anything but selfish?

Posted: **Sun Jan 24, 2010 5:22 pm**

It's fair if they're aware of the decisions that they're making.
It's only unfair if you deceive them or otherwise coerce them.

Children don't get that choice.
I know I didn't.

Posted: **Sun Jan 24, 2010 5:27 pm**

That's something the adults would have to consider, isn't it.

Posted: **Tue Jan 26, 2010 1:12 pm**

You two should really get together.

Which two? Get together for what?
