Comments

[Mrs. Lemuel Struthers]

No.

I've heard it's quite hot and dry in the desert.

[Agammamon]

Which is why its important to drink a lot to stay hydrated.

I might go - I'm checking to see if I can clear my busy, busy schedule.

[kibby]

GO!

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Agammamon's "busy, busy schedule".

[Agammamon]

Needs moar neckbeard, replace the tighty-whiteys with boxers - can't complain about the hair or gut though.

[R C Dean]

That's a fun bar.

Can't make it, though. Dang.

[Agile Cyborg]

I thought your ass was in a Burroughs somewhere with antique radio tubes wrapped around your arms and shit.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

You misspelled "burrow".

[Agile Cyborg]

Trying my hand at that New York shit. So I guess NYC has burrows, sweet. Who the fuck lives in them? Trains?

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

I was calling RC an animal, sort of. We can figure out which kind later.

[jesse.in.mb]

Wouldn't that be a "burro" then?

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/burrow

[Hyperion]

Squirrels, rats, and other assorted rodents. They've been taxed out of Central Park, the sewers and other previous acceptable living areas and had no choice but to move to the 'burrows' until the city bureaucrats figure out how to tax that to death also.

[Agammamon]

Homeless people.

[waffles]

Isn't Scottsdale one of the circles of hell?

[Hugh Akston]

No, but it is the most horrible, most miserable place on earth.

[DEG]

I considered taking a job in Scottsdale way back when I was an undergrad. I never thought of it as one of the circles of hell. I mean, there's no snow to shovel.

[Smilin' Joe Fission]

When is the Canadian Reason happy hour? There are at least 3 Canadians that would attend!

[Charles Easterly]

"When is the Canadian Reason happy hour?"

I heard that this happens every day and many participants are able to speak more than one language.

[Gene]

We can do a big bonfire out here on my farm S/W of London sometime if there is enough interest.

[Hyperion]

Not sure that Murikans can attend unless they refuse to admit that they own weapons 'back home' at the border. Please check your privilege.

[DEG]

The Canadian border guards only asked me if I was travelling with firearms. They held me up and searched my car and stuff. No more trips to Canada for me.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

It will be somewhere in Canada.

[Hugh Akston]

Geez what's up with H&R meetups at gay tiki bars?

[jesse.in.mb]

The Purple Orchid isn't a gay bar, it just has a gay bar name.

[Hugh Akston]

So I guess it was just a coincidence that that meetup was a total sausagefest?

[AlmightyJB]

TANLW

[Charles Easterly]

Even a Comprehend Languages failed to decipher that for me, AlmightyJB.

[AlmightyJB]

There Are No Libertarian Women

[Hyperion]

There were a couple 5 minutes ago, but they just changed their minds again. Wait until tomorrow, there may be 3 or so at the peak of libertarian moment.

[Charles Easterly]

Thanks, AlmightyJB.

[jesse.in.mb]

that meetup was a total sausagefest

Isn't that what get togethers are supposed to look like?

[AlmightyJB]

You know some single ladies you can bring along don't you Jesse?

[jesse.in.mb]

*Sigh*

They never stipulate "pretty"

*folds arms, nods head, makes women with great personalities fill the room*

[Hyperion]

Oh, who the fuck cares about pretty. As long as they have great personalities 'and' bodies, it's all good.

[jesse.in.mb]

I mean, they have bodies.

[Rhywun]

I mean, they have bodies.

Just no belly buttons.

[Crusty Juggler]

who the fuck cares about pretty

Who cares about single, you squares? There are plenty of women who would throw away their relationships for 4-7 minutes* with the right guy.

*I am including the time it takes to get undressed and redressed.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

What are the other 3 minutes for?

[Heroic Mulatto]

Good enough for me!

*unzips pants*

[Agile Cyborg]

I think the man that unzipped his pants should first look at the clock. If the clock screams worms then fucking should roll like sperm tides.

[Heroic Mulatto]

I'll just leave this here.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Single, pretty ladies?

I want Jesse to be one of the pallbearers at my funeral so he can let me down one last time.

[Hyperion]

This tells me that Playa is being too picky. Forget about pretty and go for good body and acceptable personality, have millions of choices, be happy.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

I found one with all 3. At Berkeley. I guess I should go buy some lottery tickets.

[Hyperion]

Just saying that insisting on all 3 is too limiting. Sure, you get lucky and get all 3 occasionally, but you miss too much. Once I lowered my standards a little, I found out that the world is a truly interesting place and you feel like a little kid turned loose in a candy store.

[AlmightyJB]

"great personalities"

Perfect.

[Smilin' Joe Fission]

Good cocktails?

[Agammamon]

*Free* cocktails.

Good, convenient, or free, pick two.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Hugh only asked for directions there so that he could get away from there.

[Hugh Akston]

Look, I just want six guys slurping simultaneously from the same flaming rum drink to be the gayest experience I ever have, okay?

[jesse.in.mb]

I don't know why you'd set your sights so low...

[Heroic Mulatto]

Little did you know that "flaming rum drink" is homo slang for a 8 inch Cuban penis.

Spiderman made you gay!

[jesse.in.mb]

Now I'm going to picture Hugh looking really uncomfortable at a Miami circuit party every time I see him. Thanks HM.

[AlmightyJB]

A Liberals's Ten Commandments

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

Hey, I can actually go to this. Screw you, LA meet-ups! ENB and I are going to form our own meetup with blackjack and hookers!

[kibby]

AHEM.

[Agammamon]

Soooooooooomebody's in troooooooouble.

[AlmightyJB]

I didn't think libertarian's could get in trouble. I mean what's the point then?

[kibby]

Having blackjack & hooker meetups without me is where I must draw the line.

[Hyperion]

We get into trouble, it's just that we enjoy it.

[Agile Cyborg]

I live out in the country so trouble can be avoided. I don't understand how Libertarians live within the walls.

[AlmightyJB]

Take a camera.

[Agile Cyborg]

You should avoid capturing images of rare svelte velveteens. Do people really need to see these beasts prancing among the tall grasses?

[jesse.in.mb]

Pft. But will your Jack and coke have a rib garnish?

You'll be back.

[Grand Moff Serious Man]

No, lots of fruity things I suspect.

[kibby]

Rib garnishes for everyone!

[jesse.in.mb]

Kibby knows on which side of the glass her drink is garnished with ribs...

I lost my way somewhere in the middle of that sentence.

[Hyperion]

It's not a libertarian meetup, unless the hookers are serving margaritas with coke instead of salt on the glass rim.

[Smilin' Joe Fission]

I'll order mine with bath salts on the rim thank you very much.

[Hyperion]

Potassium tastes really shitty and is bad for you.

[Episiarch]

hookers are serving margaritas with coke

(perks up)

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

IT WASN'T A GARNISH. IT WAS PART OF THE DRINK.

[kibby]

WHY IS EVERYONE YELLING

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Blackjack? You misspelled blow.

[grrizzly]

Wow, what a coincidence! I've spent only an hour in Scottsdale, in my entire life. And yet just last Saturday I had dinner at a Mexican place across the street from Hula's Modern Tiki.

[jesse.in.mb]

And yet, you're always a day late for the LA meetups.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Was it the best hour of your life?

[grrizzly]

It was the best happy hour dinner. In MA happy hours are outlawed (no discounts on drinks are allowed), so I'm always very impressed when I can get margaritas half price.

[Sevens]

Does MA set minimum prices, too?

[Hyperion]

It's always a comfort when people make fun of me for living in MD, that there exists such places as NJ and MA to make me feel better.

[grrizzly]

I'm not sure about minimum prices, but the happy hour ban exists in MA because Governor Dukakis's brother was killed by a drunk driver.
http://www.bostonmagazine.com/.....achusetts/

[Hyperion]

It's always about the ruling elite and never about the people. Fuck all of those assholes.

[SIV]

According to the article the trigger was some girl who went car surfing after she and here friends won a bunch of pitchers playing "name that tune" at a Ground Round*.
Dukakis' brother was killed in a car accident but he didn't lie and say the guy was drunk like Joe Biden does.

*Ground Round must be a Yankee thing. I used to eat at one working in NJ back around 1990 because it was the only place that gave free refills on iced tea. I still recall the burger was passable.

[Agile Cyborg]

Isn't Arizona just Mars modernized?

[Hyperion]

Unlike Cali, it's rumored that both have liquid water.

[jesse.in.mb]

Jesus H. Christ it rained when I was driving from Flagstaff to Kingman last week.

[Hyperion]

Here in MD it's not a question of it will will rain or not, but of how long the monsoons will last this time.

[Agammamon]

That's *Northern AZ* - its pretty habitable up there.

Phoenix and south are pretty dry. Except for this time of year when we have our 'monsoon season'. IOW, get 8 of our 11 inches average rainfall in a three month period.

[Quincy.]

For me? and what do I know?? Albuquerque is Tatooine modernized.

[hamilton]

Dammit a chance to meet ENB. I may have to fly to Scottsdale. Or bitch once again for a Boston reason cocktail hour evening.

[DEG]

I may have to fly to Scottsdale

The end of the line might not be there.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

If ENB gets White Girl Wasted, I certainly want to hear about it.

[kibby]

I'll make Serious take pictures.

[jesse.in.mb]

Like you did on Rusty Woodchippers?

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

I didn't know it was straight bourbon because they put a bunch of sugary bullshit in there. Not my fault.

But yes, I did get in trouble for coming home and trying to have some late night viking sex.

[jesse.in.mb]

I hope you washed your hands first. You were handling the chicken-juice-covered vegetables barehanded by the end of dinner.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Now Wharo has a lawsuit on their hands.

[Agile Cyborg]

This is a massive amount of information unloaded into the digital brain drives of people thousands of miles from this madness.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Did Agile Cyborg just drop a TMI on me?

[Agile Cyborg]

Wait, no. What? that fucking happened to me, bro. Well that was an odd playa move. So goes this fucking space. People are like odd stars and shit zipping in and out and about. Great fucking star people man, in and out up and down and usually like being beat to death with awesomeness.

[AlmightyJB]

So what's in a Rusty Woodchipper? Seriously. I hear Bourbon and probably some simple syrup? Anything else?

[jesse.in.mb]

I believe it was bourbon, simple syrup (barely any) and maraschino cherries for color.

Over ice, unless you're Playa and you just want full glasses of bourbon.

[AlmightyJB]

Ok, thanks. Just wondering. All I have right now as far as Bourbon goes is 1792 which of course is not getting mixed with anything but may want to try something different sometime.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

All I'm hearing is "Playa is a hero".

[Quincy.]

Chocolate milk and Vodka, I was told.

[AlmightyJB]

Kahlua used to sell these little 4 packs of mudslides and white russians
with vodka that tasted just like chocolate milk, maybe still do sell them.

[SIV]

If ENB gets White Girl Wasted

Like this?

[Agile Cyborg]

Another angle loaded onto SIV's shiv:

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Meh.
More like this.

[Notorious UGCC]

SIV, I don't think those girls are even supposed to *be* white.

Here is a wasted white girl.

[SIV]

The reference is to the lyrics of the Beat Farmers song. The vid creator edited the anime to fit those.

[Notorious UGCC]

Ah, I had the sound turned off because I was listening to something else.

[Heroic Mulatto]

Asuka was 75 percent German.

[Butts Wagner]

Asuka?

[Agile Cyborg]

So, happy hour on Mars and FUCK SPOTIFY. I hate you SPOTIFY. Forever.

[Quincy.]

Nothin' tea all around!

[Agile Cyborg]

Q, are murals rolling like joints off your tips, babe?

[Quincy.]

Masking stars like a sunnovabitch. Pounces at the ready. The floor rolls along.

[Agile Cyborg]

I use to pounce, man. I can't believe I just read that term. Like pounce with the little wheel, right? Jesus christ. I love you so much I want to eat you.

[Quincy.]

Yes, with the little spiky wheel. I will unfurl my reverse and repeat with great flair tomorrow. Much rubbing will ensue.

[Agile Cyborg]

You do realize this is a fucking dying art right? Ask 75 percent of art students what a pounce wheel is. And you'll have your answer. What the FUCK is a pounce wheel? What the fuck is a chalk bag? Ask'em. Never heard of a goddamn chalk bag unless they went to old school art school.

[Quincy.]

You do realize this is a fucking dying art right? Ask 75 percent of art students what a pounce wheel is.

For a lot of stuff I go electric, 2000 volts of paper vaporizing power, zap, zap, zap. Swish it about like a pen. Tighter radius than any wheel.

I work at immense scales, and have no use for chalk bags. I have a towel wrapped floor squeegee, and swish it with resolve.

[Agile Cyborg]

Every single square inch of the walls of my upper dwellings starting at the base of the stair well has graphics and art hand painted on it bro.

[Quincy.]

I expect you have willed your drywall to a museum. Shame if you didn't.

[Agile Cyborg]

Q is a little michelangelo, bros and 4.2 sistas.

[AlmightyJB]

I've never used Spotify but I'll go ahead and hate them too. Fuck Spotify.

[Agile Cyborg]

Spotify is like a rich uncle Almighty Jabbing Breakings. Very odd mostly but underneath sort of awesome. So, I HATE MOTHERFUCKING SPOTIFY. But, when ultimately the shit is ok and better than the panda. ora.

[AlmightyJB]

So Putin's bombing them and we're supplying them with ammo. Gee, this sound familiar.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/12/.....index.html

[Christophe]

The rules of US foreign policy:

1. Fix the problems caused by the last application of rule #1 by supporting some unstable sociopaths and bombing others.

[SIV]

If y'all would stop smoking the weed you might not support Bernie Sanders so much:

AND WITH THAT, BERNIE LOSES THE REASON CROWD: All y'all understand that Bernie Sanders is not enamored of the marijuana, yes?

[AlmightyJB]

Yeah, wasn't the fuckin' socialism.

[Agile Cyborg]

So, I guess the brilliant jaded precipice known as the human SIV has divined that all sorts of people think Sanders is supported widely across the cresting spectrums of these threads and wild massings of thread people throng and cry to hand their babies to the fucking Bernie.

Well, on this day nothing could be farthest from the truth I wager.

[Heroic Mulatto]

How dr?le!

[Agile Cyborg]

Well I once met a sweet mexican that was so drunk a pile of bakers turned his body into a classic cinnamon bun and poured gallons of jizzy glaze on him and they piled this cinnamexican on their shoulders and hauled him to my party basement and we all got fucked up on bottles of petrone and licked the glaze off our sleeping Mex pal. and we all died of a heart attack the next morning and the very awake Mex pal buried us all in a farmers field. And he went and at a fucking chexburger afterward somewhere around here. I know because we all haunt him as ghosts to this day. i think I am a ghost.

[Heroic Mulatto]

Woah.... 2spooky4me, m8.

[Agile Cyborg]

wait, that is perfect and so fucking Hero M.

[SamDod598]

Sounds like some serious business dude. Wow.

Little dogs and red kittens dance on bridges made from comets
feelings don't like to be found but when they are meatballs pop out
I ate a huge rainbow one day because one part ended up next to my deck as i enjoyed cocaine
so I ate that rainbow because the rainbow seemed like it wanted sex. I think rainbows get very
little sex.

[Notorious UGCC]

To be a truly great state, all Arizona needs is water and plenty of good people.

Of course, that's all *Hell* needs.

[AlmightyJB]

Visited years back. Can't say I was all that much a fan of Phoenix but very nice drive north through the hills and Sedona up through Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon which was incredible.

[AlmightyJB]

Phoenix mall was my first and actually only experience post 9/11 being told by the retarded mall cop that I couldn't take pictures in the mall.

[Arizona_Guy]

Thursday?

Can't make it.
