I called Tony Kanakaris up on a Friday afternoon, right as happy hour madness was hitting the US east coast. Tony is a fellow domainer and developer – manager of the Social Domainers network.
Tony, yassou malaka! – I could not resist the Greek verbal jab at my friend.
Who is this? Lucius! Ti kaneis, you sick motherlover you – came back the answer from the other end of the line.
In case you didn’t know, us Greeks are like the Italians – maybe because all of Southern Italy and Sicily were Greek colonies once. We talk loud, and we talk a lot and show our excitement with gestures and voice intonations.
Tony, I hear you make some killer spinach pie, is that right? – I said, trying to make small talk for what I was going to ask next.
Yeah, yeah! Better than my grandma’s. What’s cooking, Lucius?
I can’t get into my Social Domainers account, Tony. WTF is going on?
Tony paused for a while, then he broke the bad news to me.
Lucius, look. You’re my good friend and everything but I was asked to lock your account down. You made some really nasty comments the other day, I had to take some action.
Tony’s reply hit me like pigeon droppings from pigeons on a wire, 50 ft above.
Come on, man! Social Domainers is where I spend my online time! You can’t do this! That’s where I meet other domainers and make friends and buddies. Heck, that’s where I pick my Italian women! Come on, brother!
Tony Kanakaris paused for a few seconds, then reminded me of what I had done.
Lucius, I can’t. Remember what you did? Disrespecting the Argentina soccer team, saying Maradona is a big crackhead and all that stuff? I got in so much trouble with my wife, she’s Argentinian, remember?
I sighed.
I remembered the incident alright; World Cup 2010 was full of vuvuzela noise and Greece was playing Argentina trying to advance to the next round. Kept the score at 0 – 0 until the 77th minute and then it managed to lose 2 – 0. I was furious. I had lashed out, cussing Argentina on the Social Domainers forum, left and right.
Tony… I’m a nice guy. I’m sorry. I will apologize now to your wife, OK? Just let me back on Social Domainers, please bro! I will behave! I just need my account back. Have a heart, bro!
Tony was skeptical for a second, but then he burst into laughter.
Lucius, you’re such a big malakas! OK, try again in 15 minutes and you’ll be able to log back on. Just don’t try the same crap, malaka! OK?
SocialDomainers.com is my second home, my online destination away from DomainGang. I could not wait to see my buddies again and write on their wall. With Facebook being an insecure madhouse where men posed as women creating fake profiles, Social Domainers – where domainers get together – is the absolute domainer paradise.
Thanks, Tony. You are the man, I owe you one. Going to DomainGang to tell everyone what a great place Social Domainers is. And I will let everyone know you make a killer spinach pie!
We both laughed and called each other “malaka” a few more times. Tony had to go work on his next big project – and I had to go read my dozens of pending messages on SocialDomainers.com
