Princess Bride quote FTW!!!!! Heh, besides the last line, which, yes, kudos, I like the way that you draw the character of Mike perfectly and entirely through his actions - in other words, a great example of show and not tell. And the nerd juice bit both grossed me out and made me laugh :)

Oh dear, nerd juice! *grins* I thought that was a great little tale that showed a lot about the way these guys interact.

(Also, very creative use of the prompt!)

So, um, nerd juice. Thank you for putting me off my Diet Coke.

I had a brief moment where I thought, "Wow, dude, I totally know this guy."

Hee. I try.

Yeah, I read this aloud to my sis-in-law and nephew while they were playing WOW. In a perfect example of you never see yourself, they both agreed it was a description of my bro, gearing up for a WOW campaign.

Hee! I love this take on the prompt, and I really liked the way you slowly built up a picture with your description.
