31 March 2006

Since people are in great moods, and I'm gonna be hanging out with my best mecha buds after work, and it's a beautiful spring day here in downtown New York, I offer you a song that evokes that liberating feeling of heading out for a night of adventure better than any other, so what else can we do know except down the window and let the wind blow back your hair...

Are we meetin' at the antipode?

posted by Hugh Janus 31 March | 12:35

Yes, we are, and attendance will be brisk.

posted by jonmc 31 March | 12:55

I'll arrive there at some point between 5:30 and 6:15.

posted by Hugh Janus 31 March | 12:56

Also, for lunch today I am eating a Reuben Sandwich, Salt & Vinegar chips and a Dr. Browns cream soda. I think I'm channeling and old Jewish man.

posted by jonmc 31 March | 13:02

Oh man, Reuben sandwiches were my most painful loss to lactose intolerance. They just ain't the same without all the ingredients.

Sounds great, jonmc. Really. Enjoy.

One Fuck Lunch, please. Hold the mayo.

posted by jonmc 31 March | 13:37

also the salt & vinegar chips are great, but when I'm done I feel like I've been punched in the mouth.

posted by jonmc 31 March | 13:39

I'll "hold the mayo" for as long as I can.

I was just cueing up some Stanley Brothers & Bill Monroe, but in light of the current mood only Commodores Live will do.

i'm so over lunch i'm having a cigarette.

and thinking of a song with the chorus:
"DIE!
FUCK!
LUNCH!"

it's doomed.

*wonders what to get for "dinner"*

posted by ethylene 31 March | 13:49

I realize that I am in such a good mood and so looking forward to going out that the next three hours are going to take a subjective twelve hours, holy shit it's been 2:05 for at least 19 minutes. Quick someone chase me around and wear me out like a two year old so I can take a disco nap and wake up at 5.

Gonna have to crack the office tall can of Coors I stashed yesterday right at the crack of 4. Snick, FWOOSH, the sound of dinner cooking.

*chases wino around and pokes him with stick*

posted by jonmc 31 March | 13:56

posted by ethylene 31 March | 13:57

I said like a two year old, not a fucking opossum that chewed through the screen door and bit you on the nose in your sleep, you goddamn hillbilly motherfucker.

Dear Wino,
I would never compromise the sanctity of your union
but you're fetching on many levels.
I'd fling you any time
but the combination of you, Hugh, and dodgy radio makes me want to drink.

Love, eth

great, so where do i get to crash when i'm in ny?
'cuz if i stay with the two people who have offered, there's going to be a bloodly scene oddly inserted in a woody allen film.

posted by ethylene 31 March | 14:09

I'm listening to what sounds like the best coke party ever! And all I can think about is how mag wheels would look on my Rampar, and whether I can get away with reading GI Combat on the can instead of practicing violin and doing my multiplication tables.

Almost everything makes me want to drink. Sometimes when I'm drinking a beer I go: You know what would be good right now? A beer!

Luckily I have settled on a off/on the piss rota that my liver can abide.

I'm sure you can find a good place to stay eth and it'll be more of a spike lee/sidney lumet movie.

posted by Divine_Wino 31 March | 14:13

ooh ooh me and mr. gaspode are coming to drink. expect us around 6ish.
byo penguin.

posted by gaspode 31 March | 14:13

there will be surprise guest who wants to meet all of you.

posted by jonmc 31 March | 14:16

oh, i'll never make it to a meet up or a bar hop or anything
*sigh*
i'll just shout out of mecha somewhere odd and unlikely, and have you all wondering a lingering moment lost long after you've forgotten me

it's apparently my way

just don't try and force yourself backstage

posted by ethylene 31 March | 14:17

Is he the one what sounds just like me, or is it another friend of yours? M. Gaspode's from tha 410, right?

posted by Hugh Janus 31 March | 14:18

You'll see.

posted by jonmc 31 March | 14:19

Doggone it, my question was aimed at 'Spode up there, but so much happened while I was clickety-clacking!

Looking forward to tonight, everyone.

And ethylene, meeting you would be an honor and a pleasure. I hope to, someday.

Slow song! This one's for the ladies...

Just to be close to you, girl;
For the moment baby, for the moment baby,
For the moment baby
For the sugar, sugar, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
My arms are still burnin' girl
Ya got me yearnin' for your love
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

posted by Hugh Janus 31 March | 14:25

I'll be there, but you won't know it's me until it's too late.

posted by It's Raining Florence Henderson 31 March | 14:26

posted by ethylene 31 March | 14:29

Hugh: mr gaspode is indeed from the 410, but no you sound (and look) like my friend Tony.

Almost everything makes me want to drink.
