HomeStation Presents: Caption This Picture #4
by Olivia_Allin, HSM team writer and photographer
If a picture paints a thousand words… then use them to Caption This Picture!
That’s right; it’s time, once again, to dust off the thesaurus and sling the words of outrageous misfortune at yet another Home Station Magazine staff member. Sharpen you wit and take your best shots at shots already taken. NorseGamer, Terra Cide, Jersquall, Susan and I have all felt the crosshairs lock on target and we have weathered some amazing shots!
Now it’s time to take aim at someone I consider to be Home royalty.
I met her in the old E.A. Poker rooms. When we first met, she was writing an article about strange screen names and their origins (the old “Avatars With Attitude” series). I knew that my name didn’t qualify. I do have to admit to following her around while she was interviewing people and lurking at a safe distance to see this well-known Home writer in her natural environment. I was somewhat starstruck, and even though I can proudly call her my dear friend now, I am still starstruck.
She is someone I strive to be like. Charming, graceful, wise, caring and very witty! She can also boast of being one of the oldest gamers on Home, if not the oldest. But age in her case is just a number she earned. It in no way is a disadvantage. She continues to learn and teach at the same time. She mentors up and coming writers here at HSM, and inspires many to try and share their voices with the masses. She is teaching herself the art of making machinima and is mastering this new and difficult art form with great grace!
I have been intentionally beating around the bush as to who I am referring to but I am sure many already know of whom I speak. (Some got it at E.A. Poker rooms.)
So, it is my honor to present my role model, mentor, Home royalty and dear friend… wait for it… wait for it…
DarthGranny! Tah-dah!
Have fun but remember to use common sense. Don’t be offensive or rude. The banhammer is locked, loaded and hair-triggered when it comes to those that might dabble in bad taste.
Good luck Granny!

Olivia_Allin is a team writer, photographer, model, curator, graphic artist, researcher and comic relief for HomeStation Magazine; she lives in Texas with her boyfriend, and Home is more than just a game to her. Years ago she discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. On weekends, to let off steam, she participate in full-contact origami. She saw a Bigfoot once, made a sound you never want to hear twice, and was so proud of her Special Olympics gold medal that she had it bronzed. She is, in her own words, adorkable.
Dang, I fogot to turn off my stove and lock the apartment.
“The little punk tried to troll me, so I used his head as a soccer ball.”
“Darn it! Why doesn’t anyone harrass me?”
Home’s next core client update: Riverdance.
That is hilarious!!!!
When in doubt, punt.
What a trip! New kicks feel right. The others were older than Paul Revere’s Raiders boots.
“Put your right foot in, put your right foot out, put your right foot in and you shake it all about. You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around! That’s what it’s all about!!”
Who dropped that wad of chewing gum here?
Head…Shoulders…Knees and Toes…Knees and Toes
Get in place, Now!!!!
I swore I’d kick the next person that came up to me and said “Sup?”
