I was thinking “Cecil”.
The Cult of Cecil? The Gathering of Dopers?
Make us sound mysterious and evil.
Thanks so much, Cerowyn! See y’all soon. w00t!
Well, you know, evil is always more glamorous, at least from a distance.
Hm. They don’t take reservations, so maybe we can just stand around waiting for a table and look menacing.
Can any of us look menacing? I can’t.
No, in order to look menacing, you need to have short brown hair, dress in leather, and emit laser beams from your eyes. It also helps if you have just one husband, who wants to enslave the earth, and you associate with a big bearded guy who only speaks in inarticulate grunts, but can lift a battleship.
I’m not menacing either.
Perhaps we need to use force of numbers.
No need to look menacing or be forceful. FWIW, the last time I was part of a group that “just showed up” to the Rebel House, they let us use their upstairs. We had it pretty much all to ourselves. Granted, that was a few years ago, but I don’t imagine they couldn’t still somehow accomodate a group your size if you just showed up nowadays.
Go. Don’t be threatening. Have fun. It’s a nice place. Look for the huge (and I mean huge) Ontario flag in the stairway. Enjoy.
“Look menacing”? “Force of numbers”? Honestly, people, it’s a pleasant little neighbourhood watering hole, not a biker bar.
Wait a minute…you mean you’re not getting together to overthrow the Family Compact? What kind of rebels are you?
Sunspace, I sent you a PM.
We’re… digital rebels. Yeah, that’s it. “Digital”.
:: noddle ::
Er, whoosh? I don’t think anyone was seriously planning to manace. It’s just that we like to give a little warning if there’s more than about four of us. I know that our choice of place after Esperanto club depends opn how many we are (Daily Sushi has trouble with more than six, for example).
Sunspace, I knew you weren’t serious. But you’re going to a pub. Maybe you and I have to have a little talk about pub culture. I’ve got some stories about groups “just showing up.” Don’t worry; they were accommodated and we all had a great time.
When you can snatch the pebble from my hand, Grasshopper…
Just a quick bump to confirm that we will be [del]lurking[/del]meeting out front of The Rebel at 7pm tonight. Yes?
Yes. :: nods ::
Should I wear a bandanna?
Damn, if I knew we were wearing bandannas, I woulda brought my pirate one. And it goes well with the suit I’m wearing, today, too.
Probably just as well, becuase evil angora cats tend to shed all over suits.
Nobody ever warns me about bandannas!
(Does this mean I don’t get to look menacing?)
I don’t know. Can you look menacing without a bandanna?
So, do you guys have proof of your meeting? Or are we still to speculate that you’re all a bunch of typing dogs playing poker?
Okay, you force me to do this. The only pic I took that was even sort of any good, showing the guest of honour, HazelNutCoffee.
Just wanted to give this a bump and say - thanks so much Toronto Dopers! It was so nice to get to meet y’all, especially in a city where I didn’t know anyone. Our two Dopefests were a refreshing oasis in my sea of visa-interview chaos. And thanks for letting me leave the country even though my plate of poutine was left unfinished. That was some intense stuff.
I don’t know why I didn’t take pictures. I have one of me and Lissla, which I shall upload … er, soon.
I’m glad you enjoyed your visit. I hope you will visit us again.
