It sucks that I can’t in good conscience put this in the pit. The only reason I would is due to language.
In any case, I have only met this dude on the boards recently.
Since then, I have read quite a few posts. Every one them has been really cool. Funny, relevant, neat-o, whatever. I just wanted to say
Fenris, IMHO, kicks fuckin’ ass.
Please, no choruses of “For He’s a Jolly Good Doper” or any of that rot, okay? Just come on in, hide behind the couch, the tv, the ottoman for you short-rounds, or behind one of my massive mounds of man-flesh, and prepare to jump out and yell SURPRISE! when he gets here.
Thereafter, you may buy the guy a beer, give a lap dance, lay trout at his feet, give him a cheddar cheese log with almonds, or an noogie and cigar or whatever. Just no stupid british songs, okay?
Anyway <raises stein of room tempurature Guiness> Here’s to you, Fenris. Keep it up.
**note: If those of you, if any, who are in here before Fenris don’t jump up and shout SURPRISE! it will result in a swift wiffle-ball bat to the genitals. Just FYI.
If nobody else shows up, we’ll at least manage to get pretty drunk. Not that that’s particularly unusual 'round here, but I only get drunk a couple times a year. To remember why I don’t do it more often.
Man, if I’m the only female that shows, that jello is just going to go to waste…
Aahhh, d’we have a smoker’s corner? For meetings of the Friends of Canadian Snowboarding?
Is this where the party for Fenris is? I brought pizza and rum, that’s all you need to have a party.
If anyone hasn’t read Fenris’s posts in the latest “how to be a moderator” thread in ATMB, get yourself over there. But come back real quick, so you don’t miss the surprise.
Actually, we have two. <points to loft where the smaller “bar-table” pool table is> that is for regular ol’ tobacco smokers, <points to sunroom/deck over back door> and that’s for smokers who enjoy “a more exotic blend” of smokable. I’ll usually be in the latter.
(and they say it makes you stupid. Bah!)
Yeah, but I’m sure it will devolve into drunken debauchery, or at least I hope, because I want to ogle some beautiful boobies.
And you can put it over there, next to the life-size statue of Cecil Adams that is sculpted from a huge popcorn ball.
And ladies? Don’t forget… if you don’t bring a friend, you get the “stripped, blind-folded and tickled with a feather” punishment.
And, don’t forget the surprise!
<brandishes EMT scissors for stripping, a slik scarf for blind-folding, and a peacock feather for tickling in one hand and the Fat Red Wiffle Ball Bat (FRWBB) in the other.>
::Walks in the door. Fumbles for lightswitch. Drops armloads of packages in shock as people yell “Surprise!”::
Thanks folks! <snfff> I’m touched. <sniff> I figured that the first thread dedicated to me would be a nasty pit thread. This is great! Thanks Lexi! <sniff-sniff?>
::looks around::
<sniiiiff> Hey! Is that a…<ahem> special herbal mix I’m smelling? I’ll be back in a sec…
::Oh so casually saunters over to the sunroom/deck over back door::
No fewer than THREE people sent me the link to the ATMB thread, nominating it for Threadspotting. I have never received three nominations for a thread before, usually most of them go to TubaDiva.
I still can’t figure out who let slip about the roller skates, though.
'ere. Been saving this for some sort of occasion, and boy, after all your work in ATMB, you deserve it.
Hey, I work in tech support too. Wanna swap interesting stories? I got some good ones…that you haven’t heard a billion times.
Some well-meaning soul sends me that @##$#@@ story about the tech support guy who tells the user he’s too stupid to own a computer at least once a week. A different well-meaning soul each week, so I can’t get snarky and tell them it was funny the first ten times and it isn’t funny anymore.
It’s not that I don’t get over there, it’s just that I rarely think to check beyond the front page, and in MPSIMS, things scroll off the front page in 12 seconds.
