of course it was a joke.
Well, with a different crowd, I'd agree that it HAD to be a joke.
Do you think he was really expecting to impose on someone who really doesn't know him for the most part?
I maybe know three people from the internet I would meet in real life right now, let alone one that I would let stay in my house. I have known those people for years though and I know them much better than anyone on this site. I wouldn't be into letting them know where I live either, though I am not afraid of anyone really. They break in and I shoot them.
There are not too many places I can go where I could stay with someone. I would have to know someone pretty damn well to want to sleep in their house. Atlanta, Richmond, Boston, Orlando, and Miami are those places. Those people are relatives lol.
