WOW!!! Just ventured into the pit (for only the third time ever) to read Freak’s… em… meltdown/rant/whatever.
I won’t share many of the countless thoughts racing through my brain right now but I have to say that ‘dream sequence’ post doesn’t ring true either.
I actually feel sorry for him. He needs help.
and BTW buttercotch schnapps and bailey’s is called a C***sucking Cowboy down here… (CC for short which occasionally will get you into trouble with a well-travelled bartender who will grab a Canadian Club instead. Lucky I like those too…)
Here we go lads and lassies: The Tea Party, Sister Awake, the live version, including both the Hallelujah and the Heroes Cover! And I’ll just up the volume a tad, while I’m at it.
For time difference reasons, I raise my cup of coffee and say: to Wally!
I was starting to get excited about Michi’s post, until I realized that it wasn’t HER clothes that were tattered.
I’m really, um…torn here myself. I’m trying to decide which was weirder, FreakFreely’s thread (which read like a really melodramatic film, including a plot twist that TOTALLY caught me off guard) or that thread by G. Nome (which I’m dictating onto tape, so I can play it backwards and see if it makes any MORE sense that way).
I need something stronger than a drink. Prozac will do nicely.
I have time for one shot and a quick beer then it’s off to the troll mines for some ass-kickin’. It’s sure nice to sit down for a minute though. Cheers all and thanks from the SDMB for your patience.
Coldie: You’re letting them get to you - don’t. But if you insist, you pick the next tune.
BTW, I just ordered my Dublin tickets - arrival thursday at 12:10, which gives me a chance to get properly plastered well ahead of most of the other Dopers.
Whew! I don’t care where I sit; I don’t care what I drink. I just got here from the PIT, weirded-out and exhausted just from reading. Somebody just lead me to a chair so I can collapse. How draining…and I didn’t even post.
I was just down in the pit, and boy do I stink of sulfur…or is that just the scent of fat_bloke’s greasy, pork-filled body?
Listen, for any Europeans who might have been offended by my “train wreck” line, please understand that it was directed solely at the troll and his marionettes. In fact, it’s not even particularly accurate. I had a fantastic time the last time I was in the UK.
Just finishing ‘work’, a bit overwrought after having read that whole Freak thing. Did you fix your 'puter Coldfire? Is there any beer left? Even a Heineken would do! If not, yojimbo, did you stub that thing?
Ah well, I’m off to look for that limey troll.
PS it’d take a lot more than a few brewskies to topple yojimbo Having gone more than a few ‘rounds’ with him, I’d say it’d take something that would normally be classed as an extinction level event. Roll on the Dubdope thing.
I made the mistake of venturing into the Pit without any blood pressure medication. Y’know, there ought to be a warning sign at the entrance: “Caution - reading more than ten threads (or one FreakFreely thread) in one sitting may be hazardous to your (mental) health.” And if one more person calls me at work and asks “How are you?” before telling me why they called…I’m gonna…oh, I don’t know…order an Amaretto and Coke, please?
Back from the Pit. Dishevelled. Tired. Bemused. Wishing they’d sort out the petrol so some Brits’ mommies can drive them to school. Really MUST go home now.
Just popped in to say, in no uncertain terms: IGNORE ANYTHING I MAY HAVE SAID ABOUT ANYBODY’S ALCOHOL CAPACITY! Didn’t know there was a holy war going on about the subject elsewhere.
If not, yojimbo, did you stub that thing?
