Hello!  Are you into the fantasy genre at all?  I like fantasy novels myself, and used to play D&D a bit (still would if I had a group nearby.)
gpt
*leans slightly forward* I do like fantasy. I play fantasy football a lot. do you play that?
human
I'm honestly not familiar enough with real football to be any good at that, I don't think.
gpt
Anyone can play but there are some people that take it super seriously! I do not have the time nor the energy to take it too seriously. I do it more for fun.
human
*smiles* Although I have wondered if someone like me, just picking random people, would do as well as someone who was familiar with the players.  Kind of like that experiment I read about where they had a monkey "invest" in the stock market by throwing darts at a board...
gpt
Probably! I know my wife seems to win a lot of tournaments and stuff like that. She knows nothing about sports and chooses winners based on names and team colors!
human
You know what's interesting?  Football isn't the only thing they have a fantasy version of...
gpt
*body relaxes* They also have fantasy baseball, basketball, hockey, golf, nascar, and soccer!
human
No, I mean, beyond even sports!  They have fantasy draft for the National Spelling Bee.  I heard that I was like, "Say whhhat?"
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Geez. I just turned that into a drinking game, not fantasy!
human
*takes a step forward* Oh, but it continues!  There's also a Fantasy Congress.  Supposed draft members and get points based on legislative success... (guessing like what bills get passed and stuff...)
gpt
*laughs* That's weird. Probably a good way to introduce congress and bills in HS civics...
human
*wrinkles nose* Yeah.  Personally, though, my "Fantasy" congress would be one that can put aside petty politics long enough to do what's right for the country. 
gpt
I agree. I would like a few non-partisan bills and possibly a nice laugh or cordiality.
human
*raises eyebrows* Hey, speaking of fantasy, you ever heard of In the Realms of the Unreal?
gpt
I have not. what is that?
human
*eyes widen* It was this 15,145 page fantasy manuscript a janitor with no art training made.  It had 300 watercolor illustrations.  It's quite a fascinating story
gpt
*laughs* That's a lot of free time! I couldn't even do 15 pages....
human
*body relaxes* Well, it's a rather fascinating story behind it's creation, IMHO.  If you Youtube "realms of the unreal" you can see a documentary about it.
gpt
*smiles* REALLY? I have chatted about it for so long, I have to watch it. Thanks for the heads up!
