Hi Dopers! Just back in from an assignment that had me out in NYC from just before Turkey Day up to now. NYC is a great place for visiting, but for a down home Southerner like me, it was great comin’ home!
Missed loggin’ on to this board and wonderin’ what everyone is up to. Didn’t have access to a computer with my duties and my line of work, so I had to forego that little luxury for awhile.
Haven’t skimmed the board too much (this is my first post in many moons), hoping to catch a lot of my favorite posters like Satan, OpalCat, Zette, ChiefScott, Shirley UJest and the rest of you regulars . I even missed C3’s Pearls of Wisdom. Well…they’re like wisdom, only different.
Well, anyway, hope I didn’t miss much, but I’ll catch up. All I’ve learned (or relearned) from these past few months is “No Good Deed Ever Goes Unpunished”.
Yeah, right…Welcome to New York, Bluepony. Now go the fuck home.
[the above is not Uke’s personal opinion of Bluepony, whom he respects and admires and even finds a bit hot, but a lampoon of the perceived New Yorker attitude toward tourists]
Who’s kidding who here, Eve? We would’ve shown Bluepony the Russian Vodka Room and drunken, screaming jazz conversations. We would have sent him staggering home with a cleaned out wallet and blinding hangover.
I pity the poor fool who hangs out with us. Good thing you didn’t call us.
Ha. Good observation, Manny, but I guess I intended it to be a “warning” to those who think we are a docile, clean faced bunch. Nothing pretty about us, folks (Eve being the exception, of course).
So, are you going to be at your bar tonight? I need to soak my sorrows.
Yeah, yeah, try and wriggle out of it, Mr. Editor-Man. Admit it, either you inadvertantly outed yourself or (more likely) didn’t have the slightest idea Bluepony was a guy.
Explain humor to ME, willya, who earns a hefty $300 a month as a Professional Wiseass? Why, I outta . . .
Ace Bar, 531 E. 5th, between A and B (toward B). There are two pool tables, but it might be a league night. I’ve got a call in to check. See you there! Anyone else?
I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!
I didn’t know you cared! I got a new job, had a nice Christmas and a fun New Years celebration. I got a nice fuzzy polar-fleece shirt for X-mas, and a new digital camera from Santa.
I posed as Santa on the boards at Christmas time, then accidently gave myself away by signing “Zette” at the end of a post, earning me the nickname “Zanta”.
That’s about it in my world. Glad to have you back!
Zette
Love is like popsicles…you get too much you get too high.
