Learning to Embrace Phan

ThePhan: Before I sleep: a church friend posted on Facebook, "We must learn to embrace pain," but I somehow read it as "We must learn to embrace Pan."

Sentynel: I read the misreading as "We must learn to embrace Phan".

ThePhan: I couldn't figure out why one of my Christian friends was advocating worship of the Greek god of shepherds.

ThePhan: Sent: LOL LOL

ThePhan: LEARN TO EMBRACE ME!

* Sentynel HUGS Phan!

Sentynel: How am I doing?

* 10Kan HUGS ThePhan!

goldfishy: I already embraced Phan all the way up there - do I win?

ThePhan: Everyone who hugged me gets an A!

Grishny: I think Sam should pore over all the chat archives ever to see who was the first person ever to /hug ThePhan, and that's who wins.

ThePhan: Grishny: LOL

ThePhan: It'll probably end up being someone who hasn't been in chat for ages.

Sentynel: Alternatively, the person who hugged her the soonest after meeting her. Because they'd be the quickest learner.

goldfishy: Oh yeah that's a good one

ThePhan: Sent: Oh, good point.

goldfishy: mind you - you would have to differentiate between a hug initiated by Phan and one initiated by the person because if they were just responding it's not learnt yet is it?

ThePhan: Right.

Grishny: It'll be like the Oscars; there can be multiple awards for different categories of embracing ThePHan.

Grishny: "And the award for Quickest to /hug ThePhan Without Having Been First /hugged by ThePhan goes to..."

10Kan: If I've asked someone to give Phan a hug, am I up for Best Director?

Grishny: Sure, why not?

goldfishy: Oh and you could have like a booby prize for the person with the least returned hugs
