As you can tell, I am no doubt hard at work today. But I managed to recollect a few more miscellaneous conversations I either had or overheard. Surgo thinks drinking in a bar is more fun thanin his room alone(chatting). This is a good thing. Demo & I note Surgo’s amazing drunken typing skills-He practices alot. Ukelele Ike is fun to say- and was the voice of Jiminy Cricket. manny-True to mod form- took charge and guided us all to the bar- Did we mention he bought the beer? props go to manny for arranging the reservations, etc. xoxo Can’t wait for the incriminating evidence. Thanks for refreshing my memory Cajun Man. Sorry to say I never saw that graphic. * * * Alcohol and calculus don’t mix. Never drink and derive. ---

Oh yea, DrMatrix does not look like Howdy Doody. I thought he looked like Dr. Smith-whatever that actor’s name is-from Lost in Space. * * * Alcohol and calculus don’t mix. Never drink and derive. ---

I don’t drink in my room, I pass out in my room. It was drinking in public that was different. Very different from, say, drinking in a small room with 3 other people, or sitting in the corner at a frat party, or even walking through a crowd at a frat party. Imagine: sitting down, drinking, and having (mostly) intelligible conversations! And DrM doesn’t look like Howdy Doody. He looks like Herman the Munster, only smaller. * * * I sold my soul to Satan for a dollar. I got it in the mail. ---

No, no, no! MUCH nicer-looking than Jonathan Harris. I still maintain he looks like Uncle Martin from _My Favorite Martian:_ high cheekbones, finely textured hair, intelligent eyes. Antennae. ---

> [@](#): > > Originally posted by psycat90: > \*\*Just wait til the next meeting. Now, where did I put those leather straps? > \*\* Damn you. Now I’m going to have to post on the “crush” thread (where I was not mentioned a single time, by the way!). And although she denies it (false modesty, y’know), Psycat is just as attractive in person as in the pictures on her webpage. I hereby declare the evening a success, and I also declare that my “drinks per outing” limit is there for a reason. I also declare that traffic in Manhattan sucks _@#$_@! really badly and really often. Furthermore, I declare that Saxface is a much better pool player than I am, and she was even kind enough to pretend she believed my claims that “I’m really much better than this, I’m just out of practice.” Now can a woman possibly show more class than that? Everybody was really cool and I had a really great time. But then I didn’t have to sit next to me an listen to my ramblings, so apologies to anyone who did. * * * ## Joe Cool There are no dangerous weapons. Only dangerous Men. ---

Democritus, I’m callin you out. we need to settle this green day/blink thing, man to man. Meet me in MPSIMS (rhymes with gypsums) tomorrah at high noon with keyboard ready to fire. Be warned, this may end up in GD, or even _gasp_ the pit. [and a hush falls over the crowd as these two fierce warriors square off and prepare for the monumental battle that they both know is yet to come] ---

Eeewww, I’m a tech moron. All I can tell you is that my ftp is at [ftp.mindspring.com](http://ftp.mindspring.com) and my username is vincegonzales. If that enables you to send it there, I do, at least, know how to look in the ftp directory there. (I pushed some stuff there acidentally once trying to set up my webcam. This is the only reason I know it exists. ;)) ---

Also overheard from the NYC street bum: > [@](#): > > I ran out of cheese to bait my mousetrap, so I took a picture of a piece of cheese and used it instead. > > Know what I caught? A picture of a mouse. Sez Joe Cool to the bum: “that joke was so bad, I’ll give you $5 not to tell it again.” Coming soon: Scan of the official hand drawn map to the bar. ---
