An Announcement and a Request... →[More:]

Jonmc, Hugh Janus* and yours truly are meeting at Antarctica (287 Hudson St + Spring st)
this evening at Beer O'Clock (5-6ish) for drinking and a game of strip limbo. Should anyone want to join us we would be honored.

If anyone who isn't in New York has a mega-fast sea-plane you can land right on the Hudson and join us...

Now the request, Can someone make me a metal mask, a la MF Doom, please? I will pay (quote first please). I really want a metal mask.

My love to you all.

*(Hugh, please confirm)

I also would like a metal mask. Where do we get these?

(Just don't drink a lot of beer while wearing the mask, as it gets mad rusty.)

And remember if the chicken has the flu, what's in the stew?

posted by Divine_Wino 17 November | 11:26

Hells fuckin' yeah, bro, I thought it was Jonny Macaroni who wasn't locked in. I'm bringing the dick price just in case.

Dunno if I can hook up the mask, but there're a couple ironworx out here in the city of LI that might do custom work, if you have the wampum.

Love is in the air!

Damn it all. Have fun with out me, ok?!? Just try and have fun without me!

Alas, forsooth, what price, dick?

posted by jonmc 17 November | 11:30

Yeah, I just wanted to kick some of my hard earned dough into the metachat economy if possible, there has to be a metal worker out there somewhere, non?

What is a good metal to pick for my mask?

ps. If you name is Chris and you can prove that, then you drink for free tonight at Antarctica.

tr33hggr,
We will try but fail, but don't worry we are accomplished failers and never let it get us down. Come to New York sometime, the reefer is expensive but
we all stand around going "waddya waddya" all the time and gesture a lot, so it pretty much evens out.

what price, dick

Ladies Man arrived yesterday in the post good sir, so after my read (perhaps during, should my ire be raised) I shall send you a series of missives painting my reaction to aforesaid work of naughty fiction. Verily.

Come to New York sometime

I shall.

Bring brass knuckles and hairgel. You'll want to blend in.

I will try to fail, and naturally fail: but I'll fail at failing, thus succeeding in having *BLAAAAAAM!*

Anyone seen my head?

In honor of our soiree, I offer two songs that I've uploaded before, but they portray the two extremes of any MetGetTogether quite well, methinks:

Tonight Is What It Means To be Young - Fire Inc

The Spicy McHaggis Jig - Dropkick Murphys

Listen to those and it'll be like you're right there puking on our shoes.

Curses. I'll be in class tonight.

posted by safetyfork 17 November | 11:43

Well just fucking well cut class fork, it's not like you use math in the real world or anything.

posted by Divine_Wino 17 November | 11:49

Actually, on second thought, the following tune best describes a MeCha night out:

Freakin' At The Freaker's Ball - Dr. Hook

posted by jonmc 17 November | 12:11

I'd love to come, but, you know, I don't have a sea plane and I'm in BMD. Fuck.

posted by omiewise 17 November | 12:18

If it wasn't a short run (6 session) class that I paid outta my own pocket for you'd see this fork cut like no other.

With all this talk of self-referentiality, I couldn't resist.

posted by safetyfork 17 November | 12:20

Or, you can't cut with a safetyfork.

You're choice.

Omiewise, you will have to make the trip at some point.

posted by safetyfork 17 November | 12:21

Please raise a glass for me, gentlemen! I'll be there in spirit.

posted by Frisbee Girl 17 November | 12:22

Man we HAVE simply got to get a wicked fast sea-plane (I
insist that it be a sea plane) for metachat. Anyone save marlboro miles? They probably have a sea-plane.

Safetyfork,
I was assuming that it was a grownup type class that you actually wanted/needed to go to, I just reflexively advocate cutting class.

posted by Divine_Wino 17 November | 12:23

D_W, I figured you knew the real score, but I had to speak up on the cut comment, you know being of the fork persuasion and all. I got a good snort from imagining myself in a math class, too. The maths, I fail them. Besides in my better moments, I'm like Tom Waits meets Geoffrey the Toys' R' Us giraffe.

posted by safetyfork 17 November | 12:33

If I wasn't within subwaying distance of the south pole, I'd arrive in my new luxury seaplane, below.

I lent my seaplane out for the hurricane relief efforts. Because that's what wealthy philanthropists do, am I right?

Anyhoo...did some googling and I think this guy might be able to hook you up with your metal mask. I really enjoyed him in Children of a Lesser God--a movie that surely would have improved with the addition of metal masks.

posted by jrossi4r 17 November | 12:43

Hugh,

Something like that but with tons more jet engines, spoilers, custom airbrush art work and deer whistles, but yeah, like that.

jrossi4r,

Thanks, that's a little more interminable orgy at a suburban republican swingers house, but maybe he'll work with me.

Divine_Wino, don't be dissin' my man Kubrick, now. Eyes Wide Shut is a vast metaphor for .. ... . ..., understand?!

What is Nicole Kidman is a genuine redhead, Alex!?

posted by jonmc 17 November | 13:18

Eyes Wide Shut is proof that Tom Cruise can de-sexy anything. Including sex.

Can we have a scientific study to see when we are buzzed, drunk, ready to engage in bisexual acts?

posted by Lola_G 17 November | 13:25

Sure. But let's keep it ladies only.

posted by jonmc 17 November | 13:26

I may know someone who could make you a metal mask. I'll check on it tonight. Feel free to e-mail remind me about it though, as I've already forgotten about this.

posted by Hellbient 17 November | 13:28

Okay, I'll see if my sister wants to go.

posted by Lola_G 17 November | 13:28

Eyes Wide Shit was even worse than Interview with a Vampire. Which is really saying something. Unfortunately, social pressures kept me from walking out of the former.

posted by Hugh Janus 17 November | 13:29

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...just kidding.

But I am thinking about meeting up with you cats if that's cool and I am thinking about seeing if she and trharlan want to join in as well. But I won't make out with my sister. Though she is quite cute.

posted by Lola_G 17 November | 13:29

I had to hock my seaplane, man, or I'd so be there. Bastard only gave me $35 for it too, said it was only a 3.2 megapixel and not as good as yer modern 7.5 megapixel seaplane. I have two good friends who could make you an awesome metal mask, d_w, but they won't, cause they're lame alkie musician types who long ago hocked their metal working tools. But actually Steebo could totally do it and I'd love the chance to go hang out at his studio (which is 2 blocks from my house) & talk with him again, so if you wanna email me, please do so.

posted by mygothlaundry 17 November | 13:34

It's cool, lola.

But I won't make out with my sister.

Well, this is the west village, not west virginia.

posted by jonmc 17 November | 13:46

Also. the Puerto Rican restaurant down the block today is serving something they call "Hispanic Soup." I understand there's been a good harvest this year.

(this area is famous for menu malapropaisms. A salad place offered "Mescaline Salad," one day, prompting me to imagine Spring Street flooded with tripping office slaves. Another day they had "Sun-Dried Chicken Salad." Must take a while to dry out a whole chicken.)

posted by jonmc 17 November | 13:51

Hey I might cruise by. I'm not working today, so I can show up on the crack of 5.

posted by gaspode 17 November | 13:52

Ummm...mescaline salad. Trippy and good for you.

posted by Lola_G 17 November | 14:19

Hey allright, Kubrick is my hero, eyes wide shut is the test of my hero worship.

Thanks for the mask offer Mygoth, I will totally email soon.

posted by Divine_Wino 17 November | 14:27

So I sez to myself: self, do you really want to continue unpacking and cleaning and shoving furniture around, or would you rather jet off to NYC and party with Divine_Wino & jonmc & The Gang?

The answer is clear. If only I had a magic genie who could snap her fingers and transport me to the shores of the Hudson...

Divine_Wino: Next time I am in NYC I really, really hope you have your metal face. You must complete your transition to Drunkest, Craziest Superhero of all time.

Fuck the genie, jump in your seaplane and get your asses over here (bring the genie with).

I really want a metal face, that is all I can say.

posted by Divine_Wino 17 November | 14:53

Uh oh-- I feel as if I've said too much. Hope I haven't blown your cover.

Maybe someone more computer-savvy than me could set up a "Buy Divine_Wino A Metal Face" fund. I'd gladly kick in a couple of bucks.

Hugh: my seaplane, she is broken. Next Time...

posted by Fuzzy Monster 17 November | 15:02

Oh no, I don't want a charity metal face, I want to pay for someone to make me a metal face, a metal face of my own. I will keep it in a bottle green velvet bag with a golden tassled drawstring when I am not using it.

posted by Divine_Wino 17 November | 15:17

Also, yes gaspode please cruise by, I have several questions that are related to my plans to become a metalfaced supervillian (but an awesome one, who is fairly nice once you get to know him) that require a keen brain for science and an ability to hold liquor.

posted by Divine_Wino 17 November | 15:20

Yeah. As I was typing (y'know, just musin', brainstormin', throwin' it out there) I thought, 'If I was going to get a metal face, I'd want it to be All Mine and I bet Divine_Wino is no different.'

Consider my words, then, not as an offer of charity but as a ringing endorsement of the whole Metal Face Program.

posted by Fuzzy Monster 17 November | 15:24

Kinda like this guy, but with a metal mask?

And now it's back to unpacking: time to break down some boxes & tie them with twine.

posted by Fuzzy Monster 17 November | 15:27

Hey, can we have a moratorium on melon green truth serum tonight? I'd like to stick with dark brown.

But I guess if green is what they give us, I cannot tell a lie.

I want a tongue mask:

Yeah, if they offer us that for free I want to start the Wallace Shawn mental duel scene with someone, probably you hugh, and have the others running around hushing everyone else in the bar, then the whole thing (ibogaine
powder, man is mortal, land war in Asia, never go up against a sicilian when death is on the line, big death).

Then perhaps then after all that we won't have to drink that fucking ectocooler again.

On preview:

Holy shit.

Thank you. Thank you both.

I'm down with Destro except for that crazy collar, he's
all Leather/PVC down, cock diesel, metal gloves, giant chrome Naughty By Nature neck piece, ill metal head and then BOOM, what the fuck are you, a flapper? An orchid?
Don't you have any friends who would tell you that collar is totally fucked up?

Ruins it for me.
