What to do if you think you see a forum member "in public"

Post by dewayneward »

Family was at Texas Roadhouse for lunch today (820/beach st in ft worth) and I thought that I saw The Angry Man(TAM). The person fit a pretty god description that I remember from his wallywalk (viewtopic.php?f=53&t=15286&p=174316#p174316" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;).

I mentioned this to my wife and she said that I should go over and ask him. I said no, because how would that come off. I walk over and ask this person if the handle "The Angry Man" means anything to him. If it wasnt TAM, this guy would surely get ticked off (I would essentially be calling him an Angry Man). OR do I mention a gun forum to the guy....and then learn that he is a member of the brady bunch, ha ha!!

Seriously, what should the protocol be if we ever meet a forum member in the real world??

And, TAM, please confirm if that was you at Texas Roadhouse today :-)

Just walk up to the suspected forum member and say "your printing". If he/she quickly looks down at their hip, identity confirmed. If they get a confused look, "I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else."

It couldn't have been me. I'm down at the Forum Day event at PSC for the weekend. We arrived down here yesterday afternoon, having left Grapevine at 9:45 in the morning. We aren't coming home until tomorrow.

Whomever it was, I'm betting he was a good looking cuss. :mrgreen:
