A. Spod Gets Laid
                        -----------------

I awoke early on that wonderful day. It was the third day of the Basingstoke
meet, I had slept on the floor of netman's lounge along with Nolife, ALO,
Listing and Karrin (sigh!). So far things had gone well, I had met many
friends irl, that I hadn't before. The previous night in Bilbo's Bar at the
Student Union we had all got on well, and it wasn't long before Irit8 brought
out the talker transcripts and we all had a good laugh. Well our group did...
there was a second group who pretended not to enjoy such things. Psyspod said
it was a classic case of denial.

Others at this meet included nastysid, eurotrash, puppy, horridhank, aeroboy,
vilevic, khunt, and beastlybob.

But the third day was the best... a group of us wandered round the sights of
Basingstoke - including the IBM, ICL and Sun buildings. As we wandered around
these hallowed places, Karrin and I began talking about intimate things. I
about my romance with fangora - that is until we met at the Northampton meet
and she shamelessly got off with several internals. (I would have expected
better behaviour from all those involved.) She about her obsession with
Abdabs, who she was very disappointed hadn't turned up to this meet as she
was dying to meet him irl.

As the day progressed, and we ended up in Bilbo's Bar, I realised I had
spoken to hardly no-one else all day. The alcohol flowed and flowed, and I
had twice as much drink as I usually have, in fact I nearly dropped that
second bottle of J cider I was so drunk.

Karrin had consumed three double archers and lemonades. "Schitlife said
Abdabs drinks this!" she said, licking the rim. She looked up and her deep
blue eyes met mine. Her eyes were the same blue as the background on my
X-windows setup. She leant forward and our faces pressed together. We stayed
like that for a many seconds before she asked "what happens now?"

"Don't we stick our lips out or something?" I suggested.

"I guess." she said. We pushed our lips out. They met. A bolt of lightning
shot up my back as if I had been plugged into a really powerful computer. I
sat back, and we looked at each other.

She leant forward and we tried it again. We did exactly the same for what
seemed like for ever until turning away from me she threw up beside the
chair. But she did it with such grace that I could only feel admiration for
her. She vomited in the way I imagine Princess Diana would have at the height
of her bulimia - with grace, style and a presence that made me love her. Yes,
I was in love.

Obviously she had drunk more than I thought, so me and Nolife borrowed
netman's keys and took her back to his house. Once there Nolife decided to go
up and play on netman's computer - it's a 66MHz 486 Compaq with CD-ROM, 8Mb
of RAM and a 200Mb hard disk (in case you are interested). I pointed out
Karrin's sleeping bag to her and she sat down on it rather heavily, but still
gracefully. She pulled my arm and I landed next to her. She reached for her
rucksack and fumbled around, never taking her eyes from mine. She pulled out
a small packet. "This is for you" she whispered.

"Wow!" I said.

I reached in my trousers and produced my little nintendo, she attached her
present to it and smiled. "Who's on first?" she asked.

I let her take my nintendo from my grip, and watched in awe as her skilful
hands moved dextrously over the instrument. On and on she played, her
movements increasing in speed. I felt intoxicated as I watched her
controlling my console with practised mastery. I was in heaven.

As her speed increased, involuntary gasps left my lips. No one had ever moved
me like this. Her rate now seemed almost superhuman when at last it was over
and she stopped, we both gasped for breath.

We were both exhausted and lay back on the floor very close to each-other. 
After a few seconds, Nolife came down into the room. "Hullo! Ooh! Looks like
scandal from this angle." It was then that he noticed my nintendo was out.

"Oh," He picked it up, "What's on your nintendo? Oh, 'Laid'! You were after
that we'rent you."

"I just gave it to him." said Karrin.

"Quote!!!!!" screamed Nolife at the top of his voice.

Flip, how we laughed.
