Mod meets aren't all they're cracked up to be.
« on: January 04, 2009, 06:38:12 PM »
Being somewhat new to the kappa world and wanting to learn what I can, I was very excited to attend my very first mod meet. I couldn't wait to see all the new mods and see what creative ideas people had. I decided to take a few pics so that everyone could share this experience with me. Here is what I saw... (Please feel free to add your own from your own mod meets)

What an unfortunate choice of words!  Here's hoping you didn't REALLY have your pants down looking at this thread, sicko :poke: :barf:

Hey guys, give me some space here.  My pants wern't down.  I am not queer.  It was just a figure of speech!  I meant that the timing was all wrong.  When my wife walked in the room you know what was showing on the screen, "that first post in the thread".  Well I had to say something and it was quite appropriate.  I just didn't expect my wifes be-back!   :ghug:

GXPinKC, I think we all knew what you meant.  I was just poking fun at the irony is all.  Of course you're not queer.  So far I haven't met a gay guy with a wife.  This whole thread is about being "caught with one's pants down."  I for one will sure be glad when this low-rise jeans fad is over!
