Her Name Was El Cid and She Wore Red
Hello TON fans! This is my first article for the Online Net and I really have to thank Jay and Rib (The Godfather) for allowing me to write as a guest. To those of you who don’t know me my name is Randy, whether I got this name through reputation or a twist on my Surname is something you’re just going to have to find out.
Me and Jameson go back a really long way. We properly met* at a Norman church in the little known village of Great Blakenham where we both lived. It was Janine (Jameson’s Mother) who started the ball rolling. She said to Wendy (My Mother) that Jameson was not as well behaved as little Randy, not only that she also went on to say how Randy was far superior in any way to her own son (that second part may or may not have actually happened. Janine invited Wendy and Little Randy round for some tea and stuff and Randy and Jameson got on like a house on fire. We discussed Astrophysics and the theory of morality in an objective shared universe (again that might not have actually happened). The point is that we became best friends and wherever one of us was you were pretty damn sure that the other would be in the immediate vicinity (in fact you will be amazed to know that throughout our vast lifetime we have never been further that 1 million miles from each other!). In fact when Jameson moved to Martlesham in 1994 I followed in 1995 and moved to Kesgrave. However in recent days Jameson has been detached from his friends and spends little time doing anything really constructive. He rarely writes any articles for TON anymore and I have noticed a decline in his Magic: The Gathering playing ability. In fact Jameson has been violating the sacred traditions that state that Randy must stay round Jameson’s house until 9pm on Tuesday and Jameson must stay round Randy’s house until 9pm on Friday (despite some very rare exclusive conditions or if we go out together). Recently he has been leaving my house at 7pm and even kicking me out into the streets when I go round his! Why would someone treat a friend so harshly I hear you cry, the reason for this cold shoulder is El Cid. Those of you who speak fluent Spanish will recognise that El Cid in English means ‘The Lord’. No he hasn’t found God, Jameson has a girl friend. The name El Cid comes from her initials L C and her time consuming and all commanding nature. I don’t have any problem with Jameson having a girlfriend it’s just the amount of time he spends with her and her position in his pie chart of personal time. I wouldn’t really care if her piece of pie was the biggest piece of pie on the chart but it’s the fact that her piece of pie is enough to feed some quite large African nations and I have trouble coping with. All I want to say to Jameson is please don’t forget your friends, we will stick by you no matter what. Article Written by Randy daveangeluk@hotmail.com |
