I'm in middle America, yet in all probability am no closer than 1000 miles from you.

Well, Wisconsin is kinda off the beaten path. And many people confusingly believe I live in Canada. Kinda silly, dere, hey, aina?
Carl-E:
So, he finally wore the shirt again. And when class was over, I asked where he had gotten it.
"Online," he says, "from this place called Topatco."
So I asked, does he know the comic it's from?
And of course, he does. Hanners is his favorite (big surprise).
So now, I have something in common with one of my students. I'm not sure I should be excited about this... in fact, I'm pretty sure I'm not.
Now, if it turns out he's been lurking on the forums... well, that's going to be a little more awkward!
So, you out there?

I've seen several on my college campus, the only ones I can remember were the Unicorn shirt, Ruined Elephant and Music + Science = Sexy
Unicorn guy I just grinned at, and I think the Music + Science girl was weirded out by me because I was wearing knee-high combat boots, a scissor-modified shirt I'd painted the Horde symbol on, and my cestus. Or maybe I just had something in my teeth. Who knows. At any rate she was in a hurry elsewhere so I couldn't say anything.
Wiregeek:
I have never encountered anyone from or via the QC forum (considering I'm at best a drive-by reader, this is not surprising), but a forum I _dol_ frequent yielded a pair of members that drove 300 miles to help me prep a house in Tacoma to be put on the market, which was nice.
The surprising thing is that they both were precisely how I pictured them O_o.
I have encountered another QC reader 'in the wild'. I was cruising through the kitchen muttering imprecations about Dora, and one of my roomates just causally said 'yeah, I know, but I think Faye's going to kick her ass solid'.
Turns out he's a QC reader too.. *snort*
