What is Portland, ME? Chopped liver?

[Hugh Akston]

The bars in ME are always too crowded with psychics and fog-dwelling monsters.

[Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper]

Yeah - it's so crowded, no one goes there any more....

8:0o pm?

[SIV]

Chicago was the token "flyover" location.

[SugarFree]

Yes, Elizabeth really missed out having even more Midwest autistics cluster around her and laugh nervously at being that close to a girl.

[SIV]

Lexington's loss is Portland's gain.

[Crusty Juggler]

Dude, girls have boobs and stuff! It's CRAZY.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Some will even let you touch them! Some.

[SugarFree]

We had an undercover agent reporting from the Chicago meet-up. Apparently there a large amount of lurkers that read the comments but don't have the social skills to comment. (Think about that for a minute...*) And they are kind of terrified of meeting a commenter in real life. Like scatter reflex terrified.

*Although, I wish they would comment. My shuck and jive has gotten mighty stale.

[Hugh Akston]

There were a few of those at the LA meetup too. In a world where Almanian exists they actually said they didn't know if they had anything worthwhile to contribute.

[SugarFree]

Ouch.

[Crusty Juggler]

Dear fraidy-cat lurkers,

You can't be worse than Almanian.

[Just say Nikki]

Hugh is just working on his social skills for the next LA meetup.

[Hugh Akston]

It's true. I'm working on a way to politely excuse myself from attending the next cosplay-free comicon.

[Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper]

Hey!

[lap83]

And they are kind of terrified of meeting a commenter in real life.

You just said they read the comments...so that makes a lot of sense.

[Citizen X]

They can take comfort in the knowledge that Warty is too busy picking things up and then putting them back down to attend. Probably.

[Hugh Akston]

When you say it like that you make Warty sound kind of dumb. You really should add that the things he picks up are heavy.

[Kristen Bids No Trump]

Warty is too busy picking things up and then putting them back down

[Citizen X]

Isn't it weird how they pee out of their butts?

[Crusty Juggler]

Out yourselves, Reason hipsters.

[lap83]

Reason is OVER!!!

[Citizen X]

+some shell art

[SugarFree]

That's STEVE SMITH territory, by the way. Take your armored underpants.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

I sat next to him at the LA meetup. I think he was scared of me.

[Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper]

IT'S A TRAP!

[SugarFree]

Didn't he ask if I was there?

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

I've already said everything that I remember about the entire night.

[Citizen X]

Is it true that he rides a mammoth?

[Derpetologist]

Oh, he rides it alright, if you catch my drift. Did you know mammoths had a special flap of skin just to prevent heat loss from their butt holes?

They had a flap of hairy skin which covered the anus, keeping out the cold..

G?y?k, the 13th century Khan of the Mongols, is reputed to have sat on a throne made from mammoth ivory

"Lisa, a guy who's got lots of ivory is less likely to hurt Stampy than a guy whose ivory supplies are low."

[Citizen X]

G?y?k also wrote a badass letter to Pope Innocent IV.

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Lauren Galik has a huge crush on me. I probably shouldn't go.

[Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper]

Man - that's really uncomfortable. Yeah - prolly better you avoid her.

[american socialist]

I gave the place a one-star review for agreeing to be a meeting place for racists.

[Derpetologist]

I give you one star for being boring, dumb, and dishonest.

BOOM! You're a towel!

[Citizen X]

Hey, at least he's no longer pretending to contribute anything to the discussion, or to the rest of humanity in general.

[Kristen Bids No Trump]

Well, you know, with the number of progressives in Portland, it only stands to reason (drink!) that there'd be a shit ton of racists.

[Derpetologist]

I give you one star for being boring and dumb. Boom! You're a towel.

I'd call you a cunt, but you lack both the depth and the warmth.

[Derpetologist]

SKWERLZ!

[Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper]

YOU'RE a towel!

[lap83]

was it a red star?

[Pl?ya Manhattan.]

Well, it certainly wasn't a Star of David.

[In League with the Dark Ones]

Just admit you want to add a fifth line to American IDs.

[FreeToFear]

Dammit the one week of the year I leave town

[Galactic Chipper Cdr Lytton]

No shit. The one time reason finally comes to a reasonably close location and I've got the week booked already. How about some advance notification? I'm sure they weren't throwing darts in today's staff meeting to see where they end up.

*shakes fist at reason's gods*

Does the Bit House accept? Bitcoin?
