i think ZedioxJeb to be, is expecting a wedgie as initiation to the SDMB. 
Let’s not let him down.
SwimmingRiddles “Time is an illusion… Dinner with 'Dopers doubly so.” Some people might get the quote; others will just stare at their computers and make a funny face.

Sounds familar. Is that from Dirk Gently?

The quote is from The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Chapter two. Ford Prefect is trying to explain why he and Arthur have to drink six pints between them before lunch. “Time is an illusion, Lunchtime doubly so”. Kudos to you for guessing the right author!
{Checking the master list} If he’s from Brooklyn, he gets the wedgie AND the swirlie. Simultaneously.
Well, unfortunately he’s actually based in Great Neck, which I think is close enough to Brooklyn to consider him, at the very least, an honorary member. Plus, being friends with both myself and my roommate, he does spend a significant time in Brooklyn.
Well, fuck it, who cares what rationalizations I come up with?
A simultaneous wedgie and swirlie for the rookie.
::cheers all around::
O.K. I was over at the Dublanders thread, mentioning how our Fests were at the same time. I also happened to mention the talking bathrooms. They don’t believe me. Please, please explain that I wasn’t drunk and hearing things.
So, I was drunk, but please explain that I wasn’t hearing things.
O.K., *O.K.*I may have heard a few things, but please tell them the talking bathroom was not one of them.
I’m sorry I had to leave so early. Sounds like the good times just kept rollin’.
Actually, to be quite truthful, I was mortified to be the first one to leave, but since I live “upstate”, as Saxface put it (Rockland County, really, but I gather than to true urbanites, anything north of Yonkers is “upstate”), I had a long drive ahead of me. As I told Biggirl and Manny, I knew I was going to be asleep in about an hour, and I really wanted to be in bed when it happened.
But I enjoyed my brief sojourn amongst the NYC Dopers immensely. Glad to finally put faces to names and 'tudes. I second the notion that we have to do this again soon.
BTW, was it Soulsling who suggested Herban Kitchen? Anyway, kudos. The Sea Bass was excellent.
I would Just like to say it was nice meeting everybody, and that now that I’m on summer break from school, maybe I’ll get a chance to post more often.
Take Care, and maybe I’ll see everyone again.
wait, who was Kimberly joy? where was i? i left 2nd to last, i don’t remember a 4th female. i kept track of the females.
thanx Dave, glad you liked it.
and note, to those that left early, i blew up the toilets in 3rd grade, not Antarctica. But if i had known earlier Uke was planning on lifting one for a trophy, i would have helped. Must’ve been done once if it was bolted that way IMO.
I came in late with Moe & friends, and left early with Moe & friends. I was sitting on the end talking with Cajun Man most the time I was there. Maybe we weren’t formally introduced.
ahh. as i said. i paid attention to the females. i do remember you, didn’t know you were you. that is, well, that you were the doper you are when you were there, since no, we weren’t introduced. Bad Moe! moe just might get a wedgie for that one as well now.
Well, soulsling, you should have introduced yourself to Kimberly Joy…that’s what I did!
Cajun Man, i will do the next time we all decide to meet. She is quite the looker. 
Uh…Do I say thank you, Sousling? (Blush). Not to give away any of my insecurities, but it was quite dark in there, and well, were you wearing your glasses? 
Joe_Cool mentioned the handmade signs at Antarctica - the bar not the continent. Inside there were several chalkboard signs with saying. I copied down one - it said “Am immature man wants to die nobly for a great cause. A mature man wants to live humbly for a good one.” I didn’t copy down what the sign outside the bar said.
Cajun Man recalls another that said: “Have your party here. You don’t want people using your bathroom.” … or something to that effect.
Kimberly Joy, say whatever you like. It was not so dark i could not see you. don’t be so hard on yourself kid.
i forget what the three signs said above the bar… and the one outside the bar just said “have a nice day”, i think, i remember the big smiley face though. oh, wow! just realized, not only were there some neat Doperesque quotes within Antarctica, we were welcomed in with one huge emoticon. oh my.
One side of the double-sided sign outside said:
“Don’t worry.
:)
Be happy.”
I can’t remember what the other side said, but it seemed clever at the time.
Maybe Joe_Cool remembers?
nope, your’e right Cajun Man, it wasn’t have a nice day, i was wrong. but there was a huge emoticon smiley.
chalk emoticon.
I, too, remember thinking the sign on the other side of the emoticon was cute but also have no clue as to why. But I took a picture of Joe_Cool with it, so if the gods of photography smile upon us, I’ll be able to tell you why the hell we all thought it was so delightfully clever.
DrMatrix, you forgot the punch line!
“An immature man wants to die nobly for a great cause. A mature man wants to live humbly for a good one.
The rest just want to play hearts on the computer.”
The one outside was something to the effect of
“relentless in our pursuit of wherever that thing is that we had just last night, dammit!”
The actual sign was much funnier. We can only hope the lovely Miss Riddles’ photographic finesse comes shining through.
And let us not forget that if your name was Nicole, you got free beer all night on Saturday. But it seems none of us was named Nicole. Drat.
When playing pool against Wonko the Sane, DO NOT LET HIM DRINK GUINNESS!!! Soulsling and I were stomping him and Saxface, until Wonko had a sip of the ale.
It was all downhill from there.
