Got tape #5 plugged in just in time to take off for the fanfiction

I did that, but how often to you get to meet one of the guys that got 
you interested in fanfiction in the first place, after all?  And it's 
not like I was the only one doing a bit of fawning; most of the others 
on the panel took a turn at directing the "we're not worthy" schtick at 
Biles-sama... damn, though, I thought he'd be older.

I'm 28.  Did you expect me to look like Happousai? :)

And I didn't expect I'd need to stick a pin in my head to deflate it
afterwards :)

Which happens to be great fun.  Besides having a great laugh at a 
fansubbed parody of EVA (while the episode is clearly quite serious, the 
subtitles quite are obviously - and salaciously - NOT), and an 

"Next Episode:  Shinji gets a HUGE nosebleed" and (As Maya is looking at
one of the Eva read out screens), "Insert 300 Yen for the next five
minutes"
