Hey, works for me.
And Im honored you consider me a BOFH
I am shocked! Shocked!
At this appalling lack of decency!
Are you people trying to organize a Dopefest or some kind of orgy?
Because then I have to pack entirely different things.
There’s a difference?
Oh you can laugh now.
It’s all fun and games until the morning after something actually happens-
Then comes that moment when you remember making love to somebody’s wife in front of cheering spectators. Your mind reels. The world tilts. The floor skitters out from under you. Terror. Confusion. How will you ever face her husband again? Then, you remember. Due to you blood alcohol level and requests from the ladies, you and he had sex in front of the same crow. On the same table.
You begin making a list. Some definite yes's. Some definite no's. A long section of maybe's because you can't be sure who you slept with.
So you move to another state. You change your name. You run because you just don't know how to deal with it all.
Then it happens again.
And again.
Hey … I might be interested. I have to speak to The Husband, but I think we just might be able to swing something. Even if it’s just a drink or two. Will keep you posted. In the meantime, mark me as a maybe …
Well, it looks like there is enough interest to keep at least part of it going, then. At the very least, Saturday night. Now I just need to know who’s coming for what so I can plan appropriately.
Again, I’m just trying to get an idea of who’s coming when for this so I know if I need to call places for a reservation or if we’ll be small enough to walk into Fado Saturday night without any problems. Even if you’ve said you were planning on coming before, just pop in again to let me know when you think you’ll be there. Thanks!
I’m still coming.
For which nights? Friday and Saturday or just Saturday? And what about Saturday day? See, these are the kinds of things I need to know. (If you stopped trying to tout my breasts, you’d have figured that one out. ;))
Well, as the CEO and head of advertising of Whore-Out-Your-Fellow-Dopers, Inc., I feel obligated to participate for all three days.
Damn, I guess that means I really do need to clean up the apartment.
As previously mentioned I will be around, except for possibly the daytime portion of saturday.
Should be fun.
BOFH???
I leave for one summer and y’all come up with a code. I feel so excluded…
[Announcer voice] neet na neet neet neet na na neet neet This just in: Danceswithcats will not, I repeat not, be going West as originally planned, and would love to attend festivities on Friday. Stay tuned for further broadcasts. na na neet neet neet na neet neet neet [/Announcer voice]
Sorry-it’s the MST 3000 fan in me.
Where are we meeting on the 22nd?
BOFH=Bastard Operator from Hell…basically the SysAdmin who is a users worst nightmare.
LART=(L)user Attitude Readjustment Tool-A device used by BOFH’s to keep users in line. Usually a large, heavy, blunt object such as a 2x4 (Clue-by-Four), baseball ba, or other clublike object. Some BOFH’s (myself included) prefer more arcane LARTs such as battle axes and scourges.
Ok, we’re just over a week away from things. Here is the general Plan of Attack.
Friday, August 29th 7:00PM
Eulogy - 2nd & Chestnut
Just your general old Meet & Greet, being done especially for those coughcoughdanceswithcatscoughcough who can’t meet with us Saturday night.
Saturday, August 30th 6:00PM
Fado - 15th & Locust
Join us for a wonderful, fabulous fantabulous dinner. At this point, I am not making reservations because I haven’t gotten enough definite confirms for that night to make it necessary. Anyone that wants to be there, either let me know while I have enough time to call and reserve or be there around 5:30 so we can get an accurate count.
If anyone wants to get together during the day for something on Saturday, let me know and I’ll be happy to join up for Dim Sum or a museum or whatever.
Sunday, August 31st, 11:00AM
Brunch and games at the PisceanVerrain Salon - 43rd & Locust
Who knows what we’ll come up with here. Bagels? Finger foods? Maybe (if there are only a few of us) some omlettes or something else? Anyone interested in coming, please let me know so I can give you the appropriate information for getting to our apartment.
I’m sorry for all of this being so unorganized. Hopefully, we’ll have a good time, organization not withstanding.
I vote that we all bring our tools and supplies and build a 1920’s style death ray!
Bumping this at TP’s request.
Come on people. let’s give her a good sendoff into the world of the married.
Now that I’ve been properly publically shamed, I shall eagerly await our getting together on Friday. I’ve placed a worm on my tongue, e.g., waiting with baited breath.
Marriage is a wonderful institution. Let’s hear it for True Pisces & Verrain being institutionalized.
Be well and stay warped.
You’re gonna smack me, but I’ll be unable to make it, dear. I got a job recently & my classes’ll be starting immediately after Labor Day, so I’ll be swamped.
I’ll be with you in spirit & hopefully I’ll see you before the NYC MegaFest.
