Hi.  My name's Virex, and I'm an alcoholic.

Admitting you have a problem is always the first step toward recovery. (Assuming one gives a crap about recovering.)

Welcome aboard, enjoy your stay!

Thanks!  I knew that you would get it, which was partially why I chose it.  Who cares if anyone else gets it or not, huh?  :D  Thanks for the invite, Scott.

A little bit about me, if you will:

Born of humble parentage in November, 1975, Virex was very interested in the toys and clothes of his big sister during his childhood

Nah.  That's not gonna work.   :D  

My name's Matt Birchall, and I've been a member of various Star Wars collecting communities on the 'net for about the past six years, mostly as "Virex" over the past couple, although you might know me as "Jeff" in several chat rooms, or as a certain, red-haired supporting character from a seventies sitcom over at Rebelscum.  ;)

(Some Virex trivia for you:  In addition to the alcoholism, I've also got a raging case of schizophrenia, which might explain all of the name-changes.  That silliness will not be carrying over here, I assure you.)

I'm more of a dormant Star Wars fan and collector now, than I used to be, so rarely will you see me venturing outside of the "miscellaneous" forums, such as Watto's Junkyard.  I just like the community, I guess, and while I keep up with all the latest Star Wars and collecting news, I don't feel an urge to comment on it anymore, really.  My interests are more in things like music and movies lately, so that's what I tend to comment on.

Anyway, gang, thanks again for having me.

So you're the freaking mystery man "Jeff"!!!   :o  Geez, we were quite curious about you that one night we stumbled upon you hanging out alone in our chatroom last month!  Glad the mystery's finally been solved!  I still tried to pry it out of you a few more times at the RS chats after that, but you still wouldn't spill the beans - it was driving me just a little bit bonkers!

Feel free to be as silly as you want with the name changes here though.  I always liked the Squints one myself.  Just please don't steal mine when I'm not paying attention...   :P  (just teasin' you, that was sorta funny considering who it was done to)...

Anyways, glad to have you to further liven up the place, if but only in Watto's...   8)

BTW, love the signature!   ;D  Mind blowing that announcement was...

Now, why in the blue hell would I ever want to choose?   :-*

Well, now- Matt, I'm glad you finally joined. One more reason to hang out here. We looooves Vireeexxxx.

Urp.  

Greetings 'Jeff'.  

Uh, Matt, I remember that chat.  Is there anything I need to apologize for?

Now that we've got two Matt's (actually 3 with FishEyedLouie who goes by Matthew), I'm not sure if you're talking to me or Virex here, Brent.  Regardless, knowing you Mr. Potty Mouth, I'm sure you said something you should apologize for.  So get to it!

In my frustration of your mysterious identity, I may have also, not sure...  If I did Virex/Matt/Jeff/Squints/etc.  Sorry!  Hopefully we can do that chat room thang again sometime - the right way this time...   8)
Title: Re: Truant finds home.
Post by: Morgbug on May 7, 2003, 02:22 PM
OK, at this point, you're Matt, they're Matthew and Virex.  

I remembered what I said in the chat.  Just trying to get 'Jeff's attention, though it didn't work.  Regardless 'Jeff', sorry.  

Not going to repeat it here.  Ahem. ;)

Eddie swears this was not about Kurt Cobain, I think the lyrics speak volumes...

Vacate is the word...vengeance has no place on me or her
Cannot find the comfort in this world
Artificial tear...vessel stabbed...next up, volunteers
Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere...

A truant finds home...and I wish to hold on...
But there's a trapdoor in the sun...immortality...

As privileged as a whore...victims in demand for public show
Swept out through the cracks beneath the door
Holier than thou, how?
Surrendered...executed anyhow
Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor...

A truant finds home...and I wish to hold on, too...
But saw the trapdoor in the sun...

Immortality...
I cannot stop the thought...I'm running in the dark...
Coming up a which way sign...all good truants must decide...
Oh, stripped and sold, mom...auctioned forearm...
And whiskers in the sink...
Truants move on...cannot stay long
Some die just to live...

Welcome to the party Virex!

Sorry about that alcoholism thing though.   ;)
Title: Re: Truant finds home.
Post by: Virex on May 7, 2003, 08:02 PM
Yeah, I don't remember anything about that night in the chat room, anyway, so whatever anyone said, makes no difference to me.  I have this nasty habit of logging into chat rooms, and if nobody's there, just staying there while I'm off doing other things--be they surfing' other sites, or doing stuff around the house, or going to sleep, whatever.  Which, a lot of times, means that people will come into a chat room and find me just silently lurking, which is probably pretty creepy.  

I think this is an accurate list of all of my internet handles and/or aliases over the years, since 1997:

Grandma Tarkin; The Unknown; Super Unknown; Duros; El Mattador; Matty B, Virex; Virex10; Virex Sucks; Mr. Courtesan; John Ashcroft; One-Termer; Schizo; Tommy Grand; Squints; Carnor Jax; Ralph Malph, and Jeff (chatroom exclusive).

(Most of the one in the bottom half of the list were created to relieve the monotony of Wuher's Cantina over the past few months, though.)

There might be a few I'm forgetting.

I didn't know there was a love for "Squints"!  What a great damn flick--had to watch it again the other day.

And Scott, I knew that song was about KC as soon as I heard it in late '94.  The cigar box line gave it away.

Yeah.

That was my clue as well...great song.

Can't wait to chat with you "Jeff" some time  :-X

Post by: Angry Ewok on May 8, 2003, 10:25 PM
Welcome Virex... I was wondering, what exactly do you want me to call you? Jeff? Sorry for being slow.  :-[

Title: Re: Truant finds home.
Post by: Virex on May 12, 2003, 02:43 AM
I thought of some more aliases:

Kevin Spacey
Crazy Mix-em-ups
Dr. Gonzo
Title: Re: Truant finds home.
Post by: Carrie M on May 12, 2003, 02:57 PM
Don't forget the Satanic Mechanic.
Title: Re: Truant finds home.
Post by: Carrie M on May 12, 2003, 03:05 PM

Kevin Spacey

This is my favorite quote from Kevin Spacey, the Rebelscum forum member:

"Yes, hello. You loved me in The Usual Suspects, you loved me in L.A. Confidential, you loved me in American Beauty, you hated me in See No Evil, Hear No Evil.

I'm here because of the witness protection program. There was a stalker from some podunk town in Tennessee, and he won't leave me alone, so now I'm here, in hiding.

Wait."

Actually, he only made a few posts altogether, but whatever.  Oh yeah, and there was Cat Power too.

How could I have forgotten about Tinky-Winky?
Title: Re: Truant finds home.
Post by: Virex on May 29, 2003, 07:15 PM
Also forgot "Member Banned", which might soon be more appropriate for Ralph Malph than it was for Virex. . .   :o
Title: Re: Truant finds home.
Post by: Virex on June 25, 2003, 02:12 PM
Bumping for the general good, but I'll also add that "Frank N. Furter" was another name of mine at one point.

Hopefully, that's the end of them.
Title: Re: Truant finds home.

You were particularly on a roll during the period when you were:

One-Termer; Schizo; Tommy Grand; & Squints

I guess I should probably add "Cheeseburger" to this list now. . .
