Next Tuesday rawks. See above comments by other members, re: Thanksgiving prep, for reasoning. My apologies to amarinth seeing as how you won’t be there next week and I can’t make it tonight.
Cervaise, I had a long weekend of faux bachelorhood in September. The only time I was fully clothed was when I had a friend over with the work LCD projector and we spent a day watching B movies projected onto the wall. Beer, pork rinds and Flash Gordon. Pure, unadulterated bliss, I tells ya.
As for the team name issue, if we’re looking for something that evokes an image of the downfall of Elvis, I suggest “Alone in a bathroom with a bottle of prescription painkillers.” Long, true, but I feel it gets the message across.
Underpants and beer, this I believe. DVDs I won’t watch is my best guess on the third pillar of the bachelor trifecta.
I’ll be back in for trivia night in a while, but pneumonia, steriods so I can breathe, and smokey bars don’t mix well. Even when they do have cider on tap!
I’m planning to be there tonight. Like last time, I’m looking at showing up around 7:00 so I can have dinner beforehand. Will I be the first one there or should I be looking for somebody?
Cervaise, inkysplotchy will probably be there sooner, but I haven’t heard from him yet today. I’ll email him. I won’t get there until 7:15 or so.
E. Thorp, trust me, no one is some kind of freaky supergenius trivia nut. (Unless they’re keeping it secret, which would be mean.) You’ll fit in fine. I’ll bring the Cecil Adams book again, which is a large-size paperback copy of the first Straight Dope book with a predominantly yellow cover.
I think you make 6; will we have more? If so, the second person there should snag a second table so we’re within the legal team limit.
We’ll probably be there a little before 7:00 for dinner as well, so Cervaise and inkysplotchy can find us. If we’re there first, we’ll try to get the table we had last time we attended.
E. Thorp already knows what I look like, so you shouldn’t need to risk exposing the book to tobacco smoke, spilt beer and the like.
The forces of the SDMB, under the guise (a.k.a. team name) “Bloated Bathroom Cadaver,” won 26 points and VICTORY in quiz night. More details will come tomorrow, after sleep, but just know this: Elvis was present, and Elvis was crushed.
I don’t know if 4 points constitutes a crushing, lest we say they crushed us the previous two times(bot hof which they won by 4 points…) And, they did only have 3 people this week.
A good victory, yes, but I wouldn’t say crushed until two full strength squads go at it. But that’s just me.
Just an FYI, I won’t be attending this coming Tuesday. Cinema Seattle has scheduled a preview screening that night, and I don’t want to miss it. Sorry I can’t be there; hoist a banger for me.
So: we’ll have amarinth, inkysplotchy and me for sure. Cervaise’s a no. Aguecheek, E. Thorp or anyone else coming? This week’s quizzer will be the British guy, so things will move faster.
Pretty sure I’m in too. I’ll be Christmas shopping in Fremont, where there’s a shop selling jewelry my wife likes. Now if I could only remember which @#$%* shop it is.
That’s about how much I enjoy shopping. Will be looking forward to a nearby opportunity for a pint, conversation, and funny questions.
Are people showing up early again? If so, I may show up a little later than normal and get some exercise time at the Y. If no one is, I can go at 6 as per usual/
