To the fellow Duder I saw at the PA Wal-Mart on 8/27

Okay, I don't really know where to start this so it's going to be a bit stream of concious.

Fellow Duder, I know not who you are or where you hail but know this, I saw you. A member shirt seemingly materialized from the ether amidst the sea of Scott's toliet paper and Poland Springs. It was like Christmas and my Birthday all at once, but suddenly, I was struck with the profound realization that you were striding past my manager. I had no idea how to greet you o Fellow Duder. My tongue was tied as surely I could not bellow "I ALSO LOVE TEH GIANTBOMBZ!!" but I knew not with what words I should have filled the abyss. I failed you mystery Duder and for that I am truely sorry.

Has anyone else spotted a rogue vomitting Ryan in the wild and failed to greet them? We need some FightClubian way to descreetly greet our own. Do we simply brush up against them and say "Sorry Duder" and leave it at that?

Last week in Boxborough, MA I saw one at a Magic The Gathering tournament; not nearly as wild as the isles of a Walmart but I figured being at a large scale Magic Tournament was bad enough.

I've been spotted and spotted folks myself wearing either the Roller Coaster member shirt or the Lincoln Force one. They said hello, I did the same when I saw some and that's about it. So nothing terribly exciting

It sounds like you made a love connection.

But no, I've never seen another GB person in the wild, because I avoid the outside world. If man was meant to go outside, he would give the outside world a HUD.

Next time pounce on them and begin to make out as you slowly reach your hand down the front of their pants. It's the international Giant Bomb hello.

The only two I've ever seen never use the forums, so they were all "WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?!"

If random men start brushing up against me in public then I will understand.

This isn't reddit, where you need some idiotic phrase involving narwhals and bacon to make some passable expression. We're GiantBomb, we're classier than that.

@Kyreo: Yeah after the fact I'm like damn why didn't I just do that?

It's just so weird to see anyone from a website just around at places ya know? I just felt bad cause you wear the shirt as a type of hello in and of itself. And I said fucking Nothing to the guy.

I personally find the Narwhal Bacon's at Midnight to be a pretty awesome codephrase. And Giant Bomb has <> which really isn't that classy when it comes down to it.

I have been wearing the rollercoaster shirt pretty regularly and only one time someone came up to me and said something like "Hey, I love Giant bomb too". Must have been weird for him that I wasn't a superfly cool dude like all the other duders but a boring dad at a farmers market behind a stroller with a 2 year old.

The cud at Wal-Mart is pretty shitty, unlike the cud I get at Target which is damn tasty.

But sadly, that wasn't me. I was at home all day wearing a completely different shirt.

That'd be cooler to me lol. I hope to be a gamer dad one day, with my awesome gamer babies. Sonic the Hedgehog will be their first game, as it was mine... Teach them to love punishment early, I say. Though it won't be the same without the Sega Genesis freezing randomly and having to start over, combined with no ability to save the game.

I enjoyed reading the first post. I'll give you that.

Oh, and I've never seen a WM shirt out in the wild, but if I did, I'd surely say "Hi".

"Hey duder." 
"Giant Bomb?" 
"Nice Giant Bomb shirt, duder." 
[<> gesture] 
"It's a video game website!" 
"Drop a bomb on it." 
"Cunt."
"I'm a wizard, and your shirt looks pretty cool." 
"Man, you throw dark!" 
"I see you are wearing a Giant Bomb T-shirt. Do you, too, long for Vincent Caravella's loving embrace?"

Every duder is cool in my book.  A friend of Giantbomb is a friend of me.
