It’s the end of an era! Manhattan, long a fearless leader of the Teeming Millions, is stepping down from his moderating duties in GQ. Let’s face it, the guy has other demands on his time and he has shouldered more than his fair share of the burden of the fight against ignorance.
Let us join together to thank him for his years of service, and to buy him many drinks, and to write songs singing his praises that will be sung by our children’s children. We will quite possibly have some more drinks after that.
Date: Thursday, September 4
Time: 7:00 PM
Location: The Patriot Saloon, 110 Chambers Street, NYC
Activities will include: thinking of words that end in -gry, bar dancing, witnessing, composing BBQ Pit threads about Manhattan in pig latin, and spankings (if we’re lucky). Jackbooted thug costumes are optional.
Yeesh, we always seem to have a quandry posed by the Thursday night for New Yorkers who leave the city on weekends vs. the Friday night for New Yorkers who come into the city on weekends – I’m sure we’ll have a Friday thing soon so we can catch up with the Greater NY area folks as well.
I’ve never commited to anything local and not shown up, so hence: Count me in - It’s carved into next months calendar. Cosmo, I’ll drink a LawnGuyLand Ice Tea in your honor (which is saying alot cuz I despise the taste of them).
Aren’t you people supposed to be on your way to the SI Yankee game?
So, if I was to go all the way to Nyawk Nyawk, to be in Manhattan for Manhattan, is there any possibility of finding a place to sleep off the celebration before coming home? How far is it from the train Station to this bar? Can I walk it sober? Can I walk it drunk?
No thread (not even one in MPSIMS) is complete until you see the customary: Cite.

Now, if someone will cut and paste the dictionary definition of ‘moderator’ I, for one, will consider this thread complete.
as much as i’m not a doper (i’m not! really! i swear!), manny rocks so much that i might just be willing to pretend that i am one for a night and show up. seems quite probable.
Hey, I know none of you, but I’ll probably show anyway. And that’s no jackbooted thug costume, that’s how I dress. So when the guy in the Bon Jovi t-shirt shows up, pretend like you know him and be nice to him, because he’s me.
Chambers Street? Chambers Street? Where the hell is that? Is it in the scary part of town, away from all the numbers? Where streets bend and curve and intersect themselves? I need my streets to have numbers, dammit.
