Sex: At least buy me dinner first

I'm a law student. I don't have the time or money for gaming. But I've been coming here for three years now, and I just can't bring myself to leave. I would make sweet love to every one of your mothers if they were here right now, just to thank them for bringing you into my life.

My dearest compatriots, have you been affronted by the bourgeois and general air of unconcerned levity put forth by attendees of the Penny Arcade Expo? Does the incessant chatter of these wealthy popinjays regarding their enjoyment of of the Expo's multifarious activities and revelry in their companionship leave you feeling a mite bit peevish? Fear not, humble fellow, for your are not without recourse.

Enter: the Friends of the PAXless (FOPs).

While in years past, those among us who found themselves unable to book passage to the Northwest Territory for Penny Arcade's annual festivities may have found themselves quite vexed. Perhaps even overwhelmed. This year, you may set your watch and warrant that things will be quite different.

FOPs have dedicated their persons to providing alternate entertainment to endless flood of Expo-related news and tomfoolery that will soon permeate these hallowed grounds. It is our aim to provide small contests, daily activities, and entertainment to those who have not the wherewithal or weight to their purse to attend the frivolous festivities to soon commence in the Shire of Seattle. We propose to be the counterweight to the unceasing palaver and prattle of those ragamuffins who would speak of nothing but the Expo.

To be a FOP, one must devote themselves to the highest degree of video game fashion. This season, nonsensical yet gaming-related fun is all the rage, and so we must be diligent in our pursuit of such. If you have ideas for contests or activities for the Friends of the PAXless, or artwork or anything else you wish to share, please post your correspondence to Foptoid@gmail.com.

And so my friends, come, declare yourself a FOP! While the cats are away, the FOPs will play! Find funny, interesting, or otherwise entertaining tidbits for all of us to enjoy in the meantime, so we may not be lost in a blight of Expo-focused news. And when posting your blogs as a Friend of the PAXless, do not forget to include FOP in your title, so we may share in it, and glory in the mirth that those attending the Expo will wish they had not missed out on.

(Your first task is to find yourself an appropriately foppish name. Mine is Bartholomew Blatherhedge. Go wild.)

What a wonderful idea Bartholomew. I, your humble servant Maximillius Mocha, will do what I can to support our cause.
I am the Lord and Master of you all, Count Colley Cibberius!
I, Hector Gontillismo, support this blog.
(too fancy to settle for one comment)
This is a pretty good idea. I shall join your cause.
And come up with a name. Someone needs to make a foppish name-generator.
Stand aside, Lord Maximillian von Rothchild Esq. has arived.
Forsooth!
I, Lord Edgar Whipplebottom III, most emphatically approve of this declaration.
Fret not, my dandy gents, for I shall bring you JOURNALISM through the harsh, PAXless weekend.
Colonel Frederick VonHatsburg, here. I was told there was a spot of amusement going on, just stopped through to see, lest mine intelligence deceive me.

But pray tell! What mischievous JOURNALISM do you speak of, Geraldo old boy?
I have just been promoted to Admiral, fancy that.

Admiral Hector Gontillismo at his own service.
Hershey Squirtlebottom, the pleasure yours I can assure you.
Dear Colonel, surely the good pressman Beedog has a tart bit of whimsy up his ruffled sleeve. Why, t'was just a fortnight ago what i spied him on the Bowery and we shared a leisurely guffaw under our frock coats at his notions.
Constable Rutherford H. Beauregard shall extend his services for this worthy transgression.
Rejoice, for gentlemen extraordinaire Francisco "Culito" Alejandro Rodriguez Bravo has arrived to show the rest the error of their uncouth ways.
Ah, a million words of thanks, dear boy. Although I dare not to be so presumptuous in my findings, I say to damn them on such an occasion! This publication here might very well be the pinnacle of printed speech.

Here, here!
Hashel van Hashel is but one in the same boat, so a gentleman such as myself should never turn down a fellow with a quandry

Perhaps one could meet a gentry mort partaking in such an event? Oh the knobs would want to knuckle after such an event that is certain! To that notion I whiffle!
In light of the rather formidable response to my solicitation, I have elevated my rank to that of Baron Bartholomew Blatherhedge, as I have been somewhat remiss in permitting myself such an appurtenance to my nomenclature. Henceforth, failure to include my most recently appended appellation will most certainly result in a bout of especially brutish fisticuffs. Without a doubt, I am certain gentlemen of your stature will not require that such a fracas ensue.

For others seeking titles to complete their foppish personae, might I suggest "Viscount" or "Marquis"?
I, Earl Cecil Fornsworth, am indebted to you sir Blatherhedge, thank you for taking the time to eastablish this spiffing gentleman's club.
A spot of tomfoolery for the upper crust? How deliciously marvelous. I, the esteemed Duke of Knaves, Archibald Weatherton, shall be anticipating the festivities with breath as baited as the bear it was the pleasure of my chums and I to see thrash about in its undignified restraints.
I applaud your outstanding efforts good Baron Blatherhedge. Let it be known that the Herzogin von Durckheim-Bassenheim had proclaimed your suggestions of tomfoolery to be of the highest standard. Let us don our finest fineries and make light of an otherwise dreary happenstance.
Captain Blusious DeSaurus of the fine ship Alsacocks shares the above values, nautically. Soon, gentlemen. Soon we shall have our day, and me boat will sail us into the sunset.
Ditto and such
Pax is for commoners. So says Lady Amelia Contessa Fussybritches.
I am Duke Used of TA Be,and I am at your service.
Sir Schtroumpf M. VI of Le Kingdom de Spirou is here to offer his services in any manner befitting the utmost in foppishness. PAX be damned.
The fuck is y'all talkin' about?

I herd they's goin' be bitches up in dis. Where dey at? ASL ALL?!
Great Scott! A Capital idea my good sir. While my flat mate Sir Necros of Terminus is away I Lord Johnathan von Houghton will uphold the utmost in the values of the FOPs. Again capital idea old chap.
The Noble Barnesworth Chesterfield here. I hereby sponsor shenanigans and whatnot of a non-PAX nature. Spit spot, meat and two veg, cheerio and all that.
Sir Framplington St. Bigglesmythe, Archduke of Smitherington-on-the-Hithers, at your service, sir.
Grand Duke Herbert von Mirabeau III Esquire at your service!
I, Baron Alfred McDougle of Basingrad, offer service to the cause.
Bravo, sir!
Currently #destructoid on irc has been claimed by the FOP. It is unknown how long it can be held for. Feel free to join us in our celebration of our victory.
Lady Penny Havenworth will be bringing class and charm to the front lines.
Constable Humphrey Chamberlain reporting for duty.
This was a huge success.
Lord Hubert Augustus Cavendish of liamshire at your service
