Gary the Chair

A flirtatious chair. What will we come up with next?

Gary the Chair

Ah, Gary the Chair. He's an evil little thing, that one. Very cunning and always ends up getting what he wants.

Origin

Gary was originally Abbie Wright's desk chair whose back inconveniently broke off while she was sitting in him, so naturally, the NSA community demanded a name and she was only too happy to oblige, and so Gary he became.

As time went on, Gary began to show up occasionally in different chats, until finally he made his first famous appearance as Abbie's date to the Valentine's Day Dance (circa approximately 2011). Suffice it to say that this began the saga of the Abbie, Gary, and Raegan love triangle that still goes on today.

You see, Gary began to grow anxious because Abbie kept leaving him during the dance, and he began putting his feelers out and found the beautiful Raegan Allinder. She was only too happy to humor the old chair, becuase who could refuse someone as charming as Gary? Then, when Abbie saw them dancing and hanging out (actually, more like wheeling about), she felt very betrayed both by her friend and by her beloved chair! She had even brought punch!

Throughout the years that followed in which Abbie and Raegan were still present in cyberspace (both have now moved on unfortunately), the battle continued with no winner, though I believe that Gary did like Raegan more than Abbie. It's hard to say, though. From what I understand, Abbie only recently had to throw him away due to the fact that she moved away to college. But, she kept him every moment she could even in his broken state.

Today

Today, Gary still does sometimes make an appearance in the dances, though it's nothing like it had been before with the extravagant battles between females fighting over their coveted boyfriend. Gary is still as arrogant as ever, though, so if you ever do meet him beware: he's quite the rude one. I do believe the person that I could compare him to the most would be Sheldon Cooper, which in my opinion is not a pleasant thought. So ladies, beware. Gary the Chair is cunning and ungrateful. Men, fight off the fiend, but know that he can never truly be destroyed. U_U
