I hope you force a communist to cater it.

[Mr. Soul]

Hey look, this article's tags make a sentence...sorta.

Reason Alcohol

[Warty]

Reason: Alcohol.

[MJGreen]

Drink?

[Sudden]

Texas? Why would you hold a meeting of the libertarian cabal that will take over the world in Texas?

As can easily be seen from the number of posters from each location: California is libert0pia. Or possibly Canada.

[sloopyinTEXAS]

They follow me wherever I go apparently.

[Warty]

COME TO OHIO YOU FUCKS

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

PHOENIX! Before it starts being 100 every day for 5 months!

[Banjos]

Only 100? It has gotten cooler since I left.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

We're getting a nice cool down to 79 on Wednesday.

[Sudden]

They already tried saving Ohio with Drew Carey.

It didn't work.

[sloopyinTEXAS]

Don't lump the rest of us Buckeyes in with the mongoloids from Cleveland, thank you very much.

[Warty]

I was not born in the Western Reserve, thank you very much. Don't blame me for these people.

[sloopyinTEXAS]

Guilt by association. Suck it up.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

Why do they call it the Western Reserve?

[sloopyinTEXAS]

Because the sliver of Ohio and Michigan up there was the western reserve extension of Connecticut granted by Charles I.

Another reason why that part of the state sucks...they share their history with Michigan.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.....rn_Reserve

[Warty]

Connecticut claimed NE Ohio until 1800. It still retains a Yankee culture distinct from the rest of the state.

[Warty]

I don't mean save. Nobody's going to save this shithole. It needs to be walled off and used for televised prisoner-execution game shows. No, I just mean I want the Reason staff to come buy me drinks.

[Sudden]

I don't mean save. Nobody's going to save this shithole. It needs to be walled off and used for televised prisoner-execution game shows. No, I just mean I want the Reason staff to come buy me drinks.

I'm assuming you've seen this then: Black Mirror: White Bear.

[Warty]

I was referring to The Running Man, but this looks pretty fun too.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Yuck.

[Pro Libertate]

Ohio? Why would anyone voluntarily do that? No, come to lovely Tampa. Beaches, sun, strip clubs.

[Warty]

Don't listen to Pro Glib! Come to Ohio! Where the people are just simple folk. The common clay the United States. You know - morons.

[Pro Libertate]

Like with Scotland and the U.S., all the good Ohioans relocated here long ago. As will you, you just don't know it yet.

[Florida Man]

Are you insane ProL? We haven't stabalized a containment field to hold a warty yet!

[Pro Libertate]

Hold Warty? When we can release him in the Everglades to contend with the wild pythons? We can't have competition from the non-farm-raised variety, after all.

[Florida Man]

I like the way you think.
*carefully checks incubation temperature on Python egg clutch*

[Warty]

We give you the gift of Casey Anthony, and we get insults in return??? I can't believe the ingratitude.

[Florida Man]

Now maybe a was a little premature in my judgement. If I can't enjoy a child murdering psychopath, what would make me happy?

[sloopyinTEXAS]

Wasn't she acquitted?

[Florida Man]

Yes. But it's like, come on!

[Pro Libertate]

Dude, we can do better than that.

[Florida Man]

I went Cleveland for a national review before taking boards, so at least one person. Then again the only reason we went to Cleveland was it was the only place holding the review before graduation, so no, not even one.

[Pro Libertate]

I note for the record, your honor, that Florida Man did not live in Ohio. I move that he be held in contempt and sentenced to a year as Warty's personal minion.

[Florida Man]

That's a death sentence! The average survival time is only 6 months!

[Pro Libertate]

That's a myth. People usually survive. They just don't want to.

[entropy_factor]

Oh lord it would be dangerous close to cosmo/hipsterville. I'll be there

[sloopyinTEXAS]

email me and let me know where you are. I'm down that way most weeks on bidness.

[entropy_factor]

I work at that giant pink granite dome right up the street (Congress). I'll mosey on down on a razor scooter wearing rolled-up short shorts and hipster glasses. No one will suspect my KKKoch kredentials

[Sudden]

Don't forget to grow a beard and wear flannel. Apparently a beard and flannel alone makes one a hipster.

[Mongo]

Lumbersexual.

[Sudden]

This is why there are no hipster libertarians.

[entropy_factor]

surely you jest.

[Florida Man]

I'm been accused of hipsterdom myself. Then again I might not pass the purity test, so Sudden might be right.

[Sudden]

Have you seen a millenial pole?

And I jest partially. I've been told I'm a hipster now solely on account of having a beard and ocassionally wearing flannel.

[sloopyinTEXAS]

millenial pole

Do kids dance around it every thousand years?

[entropy_factor]

millennial pole.

sounds like a bad porno. Or a selfie stick. Of which I have both.

[Warty]

I've been told I'm a hipster now solely on account of having a beard and ocassionally wearing flannel.

That means your neck is too skinny. Harden up and get some gainz, Nancy.

[Pro Libertate]

"You can act like a man! What's the matter with you? Is this how you've turned out? A Hollywood finocchio who cries like a woman?"

[Sudden]

The one thing I seldom get accused of is being too skinny.

[lap83]

" I've been told I'm a hipster now solely on account of having a beard and ocassionally wearing flannel."
Then my dad was a hipster before it was cool

[Fist of Etiquette]

That mermaid isn't showing sideboob.

[sloopyinTEXAS]

Wow, I got away with calling someone a "white, cishetero shitlord" in jest on HuffPo. I guess the censors are on a break today.

[Heroic Mulatto]

You should have called them a "cheeky scrublord camper".

[sloopyinTEXAS]

Two likes as well. I wonder if they're SJW's or human beings.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Give it a few minutes

[Heroic Mulatto]

This sounds like a nice racket: Dogs killed over unpaid fines

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Where are the free drinks in LA?

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

They've had free drinks at Reason HQ every time I've gone to an event.

[Trailer Trash]

Any plans for a Oregon happy hour?

[Hamster of Doom]

Portland? Some stains don't wash out, you know.

[Lord Humungus]

April 9 - 99 years ago the Battle of Verdun was launched by the Germans. Coincidence? I think not.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

Also 150 years to the day after Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox. I predict much toasting to the Army of Northern Virginia.

[Jerry on the sea]

Talking about wars involving the Germans: don't you dare visit Russia to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Nazi capitulation, even though Russian soldiers liberated your country:

President Zeman plans to be in Moscow on May 9?likely as the sole Western head of state?to stand alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un observing a large military parade to honor the Russian military for its role in the victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.

[Catatafish]

As much as I'd like to drive up from Houston, Thursday nights are reserved for more mature activities than Reasonoid meetups. Namely, kickball and drinking cheap beer in a brown paper bag.

[hamilton]

more mature activities ... Namely, kickball...

I hereby call upon Sudden to retract his claim of no hipster libertarians, supra.

[Catatafish]

Hamilton, everyone knows that hipsters find competitive events - even ones best suited for eight year olds - to be so passe'.

[Zeb]

That sounds like something a hipster would say.

[F. Stupidity, Jr.]

I'll only be there if I can bring my sexbot.

[pogi]

Hmm. Only an hour away and a good excuse to leave work early. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking.

[sloopyinTEXAS]

Another one? Where are you located? email me if you prefer. I'm gonna try to put a regular thing together for the Austin/ S.A. scene since I'm there every week it seems.

[prolefeed]

You can reach me at [e-mail] -- I live in Austin.

[Scooby]

Planning on coming thursday?

[pogi]

San Antonio.

[Tommy_Grand]

Sloopy,

Send me the coordinates.

[Negroni Please]

I am cursed to live in this wretched city so I will be attending to indulge in alcoholism with my fellow libertarians.
