Yeah there are multiple parts--
Serious Business
Here's the first part of a rather large Epic Story I've experienced.
This is the story of the stop sign.
their was this girl, her name was Jessica Nicholson, just turned Seventeen I believe. She was super excited to have a party, and invited tons of people to her house (or so we thought, but I'll get to that later). On the information secton was the fated line "you have to bring me presents :D "
Of those people invited two people play an important role in this story, their names are Chaz armstrong and Andrew Nguyen. Look them up, I hear they're pretty awesome. Once the invitations were sent out, Andrew had no idea what to get Jessica.
"She Likes Watchmen right?, maybe I'll get her some Watchmen Paraphernalia."
He says to Patrick on Facebook. "Patrick, what are you getting Jess?"
"I was thinking of getting her a street sign." Patrick replies.
"How bout a stop sign?" Andrew asks.
"haha yeah, that's a good one, we could put 'hammer time' underneath the stop sign."
"haha I was thinking more of a "Da Par Tay Starts Hurr" kind of phrase."
This is what started the plan to get jessica the stop sign. Patrick and Dan Huchette were going to get the stop sign and decorate it. But Andrew was still without a present for Jessica. Andrew decided to get her the Watchmen videos. he was going to pick it up before the party.
VCU rolls by and the week of Jessica's party was here. Patrick and Dan, were still without the sign (damned school nights). so Thursday night comes, and Dan, Patrick, Chaz and Andrew, happen to be on AIM/Facebook. They Discussed plans for this elaborate gift for jessica. Patrick and Andrew talked about getting her a railroad sign.
the one with 2 R's and the X on it.
Andrew explained "yeah we grab this railroad sign. turn it into Arghs, and write pirate crossing on it. it'll totally fit in with your Road Pirate Kit."
but Andrew thought "where the hell is there a Railroad nearby?" So he consulted his next best source. Chaz Armstrong, and this is where he comes into the story.
here's actual Dialogue between Andrew and Chaz:
