I thought you didn't like kilts, c.
posted by matildaben 06 February | 12:51
What have you got against pants? What about grunts, gasps, and the quick inhalation of breath - do you have something against them too?
posted by iconomy 06 February | 13:14
And what about duct tape? Do you hold something against duct tape? And, if you do, would you hold it against me too?
posted by Specklet 06 February | 13:19
...this is going to be a weird (very fun) meetup.
posted by matildaben 06 February | 13:20
Haha..duct tape!!

matildaben, puhleeeese take lots of photos. I can't believe how many people are going to this meetup, judging by the metatalk thread. And I'm dying to see what Lipstick Thespian looks like, I have to admit.
posted by iconomy 06 February | 13:23
LT isn't going to make it, I'm afraid. I'm very sad.
posted by Specklet 06 February | 13:30
Woah woah woah, there, my friend. Kilts? That's a door that I don't think we should open.
posted by cmonkey 06 February | 13:31
This is Lipstick Thespian at the last meetup.
posted by cmonkey 06 February | 13:35
I'm doing my best to talk LT into coming down.

Purposes for which I have previously deployed duct tape as a semi-to-entirely-permanent solution:

1) Fixing pants
2) Fixing jacket
3) Fixing bike
4) Fixing car
5) Holding money in pants
6) Holding breakup note to wall
7) Holding "I'm moving out, fuck you" note to wall
8) Fixing computer
9) Holding CAT5 cables against wall
10) Fixing desk
11) Fixing shoes
12) Comedy. Lots of comedy.
13) Fixing t-shirt
14) Fixing skateboard

15) Fixing plumbing (note: not terribly effective)
16) Fixing electrical wiring
17) Holding "give me rent you assholes" note to wall
18) Fixing belt
19) Fixing cut body
20) Fixing backpack
21) Fixing table
22) Holding letter in transit to California
23) Fixing sling

In conclusion, I love duct tape.

It's so depressing to read "Portland Meetup" threads. Because for a split second, I get all excited: "Portland! Yay!" and then I realize it's not Portland, Maine, that's being talked about.

You have a sling? Hell, I'm staying at your house!
posted by matildaben 06 February | 14:02
No, not that kind of sling.

It was a sling for my broken and battered arm.
posted by cmonkey 06 February | 14:11
Darn. Well, at least you have duct tape.
posted by matildaben 06 February | 14:19
Duck Brand Duct Tape, to be specific!
posted by cmonkey 06 February | 14:32
dang, matilda, you got more kinks than a chiropractor's office the day after a limbo contest, dont'cha girl?

Maybe I just like playing with your head, hmm, jon....
posted by matildaben 06 February | 14:36
a cranium fetish, too? Where does it all end?

*puts on vestments, prays for matilda's soul*

Oh yes, we bald men of MetaWhatever will be having one interesting night...

Well, you'll be in for a big surprise when she shows up in a nun's habit, is all I'm gonna say.
posted by jonmc 06 February | 14:46
Aw man, she's wearing a habit too?

Oh, my beloved Sisters of Perpetual Insanity.

(I have to go say a rosary now or I'm on the express train to hell.)

The only thing it can't mend is a broken heart.

BTW, is Monkeyfilter invited?

Just imagine how everyone feels when they see a "Springfield Meetup" thread.
posted by pieisexactlythree 06 February | 15:12
Anyone who is listening who participates in MonkeyFilter is welcome to invite them.

Isn't there a Mt. Vernon in every state?
posted by porpoise 06 February | 16:01
Probably, and an Elm Street in every town.

I disagree. You can make an effigy out of duct tape, light it on fire, and feel empowered and freed as you watch it melt into a puddle of rubber on the driveway. I did this just the other day.

Goodness, this is going to be crowded!
posted by cmonkey 06 February | 17:17
How big is this Lucky Lab place anyway?
posted by matildaben 06 February | 17:25
I'ma be there.
posted by mudpuppie 06 February | 18:01
Hell, if the weather is as nice as today, we can drink in my back yard
posted by pieisexactlythree 06 February | 18:04
I know, we got this awesome sunny weather in Seattle too, after the mad windstorm on Saturday. Did you get a mad windstorm?
posted by matildaben 06 February | 18:09
Yes, mad windstorm. Mt. Tabor park smelled like Christmas trees due to all the broken fir branches.

Lucky Lab biiiig. Very big.

No pool tables, though.
posted by Specklet 06 February | 18:18
Bastards!
posted by cmonkey 06 February | 18:31
You two will just have to exercise your perverted little pool fetish somewhere else. Weirdos.
posted by matildaben 06 February | 18:35
I spend the day cross country skiing near Govt. Camp - the windstorm was really exciting on the mountain. It was a total blizzard up there - I loved it!
posted by pieisexactlythree 06 February | 18:38
SPECKLET! ICONOMY! CMONKEY! MUDPUPPIE! PIEISWHATEVERTHEGOINGRATEFORPIEIS!

a;ksdjf;lajs;dfkj;asdfj;aksjdf;asdf;jas;dfj;!

I have done something other than spoken.

posted by Lipstick Thespian 06 February | 18:40
LT, are you coming? Please tell me you're going to make it!

cmonkey, we can kidnap people for post-meetup pool playin'...
posted by Specklet 06 February | 19:01
Is the head-skritching happening *during* the meetup, then?
posted by matildaben 06 February | 19:08
I dunno, Specklet, I made a quick chart showing why that might not be a good idea: click here [SFW]. As you can see, I'll be falling off the side of the chart by the end of the meetup, so I won't be of use to anyone.
posted by cmonkey 06 February | 19:23
Man, I feel loved.

In a pool-playin', Portland-livin', MudletSpeckpuppie-Meetin' kind of way.

Like Dylan says, Don't Think Twice - It's Alright.

I'll be there. I will.

Or go to Dino's, the totally sketchy looking strip bar across the street. It looks real pervy!

I WILL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS!!!!!
