So back in the summer of 2006, our darling bro did a live chat. Some snippets have been posted here before, but I don’t think the entire thing has. The chat transcript itself is super confusing to read, but because I am utterly brobsessed and a touch OCD I love you all dearly, I’ve compiled all the questions and answers that are ~*relevant to our interests*~ and organized them into categories.
Click the cut for lots of epic typing fails (it’s copy-pasta’d, so all typos are courtesy of Orange Bro), name-dropping, abuse of the words ‘gangster’ and ‘baller,’ an explanation of the awkward turtle, and general hilarity and adorkableness (remember, this is pre-brobot). There is a tinge of Swangoose too…
