After reading FAR 61.31 you don't have to actually get in a plane I was way wrong. You can do it all on the ground! So I'm going to fly the 182 to waco see my old CFi and get the signoff from him then fly back to Del Rio then hop in the Merlin w00t!

You have the option. You can either go through all the ground. OR go up in an aircraft and demonstrate those things. If you do one you don't have to do the other. You can go to the altitude chamber in Oklahoma and get it. I've read it several times and talked to a few about it. Emergency descents are the same whether pressured or non pressured.

I know you said that you read 61.31 over and over, but 61.31.g.2 says you have to receive and LOG training from an authorized instructor IN a pressurized aircraft (or sim). That is all in addition to the ground training specified in 61.31.g.1. There is no OR (unless you logged PIC prior to 1991 in such a plane).
You better check with your local FSDO.

I'm going to give them a call tomorrow when they are open. However it says "EXCEPT as provided in paragraph (g)(3) of this section, no person may act as pilot in command of a pressurized aircraft, unless that person has received and logged ground training from an authorized instructor and obtained a logbook endorsement."
So if you read that then read (g)(3) you have the option to either do that part or go in the actual aircraft. It isn't aircraft specific. You can google "high altitude endorsement signoff" or something similar and for $249.00 you can take the FAA aproved course on-line with King Flight Schools.
