If your experiences in online gaming are anything like mine, you spend much of your days finding new and innovative ways to insult people you adore endlessly - most of which you have never met in person. Yup, I thought so! Each day there are moments that you chuckle, moments that annoy you, and moments that give you a good belly laugh. But, once every so often, there is a moment that you know in your heart of hearts is unlike any previous moment. It is an exchange that you promise yourself never to forget because it is so damned special. I would like to share one of these moments.
About a year ago, while playing the infamous World of Warcraft, our Ventrilo server was down. As a result, we were congregating on an out-of-guild's server under the heading, "Porsche's Friends" (Porsche is the character name of our good friend). A few hours into our newfound home server, one of the "natives" hops into our channel and asks, "Who are you guys?"
"Porsche's Friends, of course," said Slickstuff, the effervescent rogue.
"No, seriously, who are you?" the native asked again.
"Seriously, man, we're Porsche's friends," we all said separately.
"We're not fucking with you, bro. Honest." I said assuringly.
"But, who are you guys?" the native stubbornly asked.
We finally succumbed to his insipid line of questioning. Some shouted their online names, while others continually reassured him that we're friends of Porsche.
Finally, the seventeen year-old DT, one of the lesser-abled Holy Paladins in our guild, decided to whip out his Oh-so-witty Card and respond, "I'm Jesus."
To this, Slickstuff responded, "No, DT. Jesus can heal."
It was a feeling I still can't quite put into words. It was as though the hilarity of the moment was too great for the rate of laughter my body could produce.
Share some of your legendary zingers here!
Thanks for reading,

At least for a 1st post you have a lengthy write up and not a one sentence job. I guess it was one of those, you had to be there and play WOW to get kinda jokes.
I broke out laughing is when my buddy and I were playing BF2 and he was coming to pick me up in a helicopter. He was trying to land and we were chatting away and all of a sudden, so damn fast, he over steered and his helicopter went sideways into a tree and exploded. Again you had to there.
I don't think so, mix. I think that's funny as hell just how it is! But, you are right that you need to play the game to get it. I'll put a disclaimer next time.
