Lebowski Birthday? Calling all MeChudes & MeChettes... This Friday's the Big 4-0 for me... Anyone wanna knock down a few pins (and beers) with jon and me?
→[More:]

Place: Leisure Time Bowl at Port Authority

Time: 8pm at the Cocktail Lounge (at Leisure Time) / 9pm Roll Time? (I'd have to confirm availability)

Beer, pink neon, rented shoes... What better way to celebrate four decades on this crazy rock? I haven't been there myself, but I've heard good things about Leisure Time. If folks can make it, I'll reserve some lane(s).

I'll be 40. Fuck it. Let's roll!

Good grief, Pips, you look about 25!

Hooray for Pips! I toast you in absentia. (I've heard there are good places in NYC for Absentia.)

posted by Lipstick Thespian 11 July | 12:04

You're both too kind...

Grazie, essexjan! (Did I mention this isn't my real face? I keep my real face in a shoe box in the the closet, next to my barbie dolls.)

And thanks, LT! I live in absentia...

I'll play as long as I'm not Donny!

You might have to bite off HJ's ear for the privilege... : )

I hope you bowl a 300 on your Bday.

I don't have the necessary means the necessary means to be out there but I'll be there in abiding spirit.

In the parlance of the times

(Did I mention the invite's for Friday, the 14th? Also known as Bastille Day... heads (and balls) will roll!)

Thanks for the advance good wishes, folks...

Sounds grand. Can I give a tentative "yes"? If not, a definite "maybe"?

Now I owe you two beers!

SHOMER SHABBAS!

(actually, I think I'm going camping, which sucks because I'd really rather not miss your birthday, even for Adirondack tranquility. I'll see you soon anyway... have a happy four-oh.)

posted by Hugh Janus 11 July | 13:36

Woohoo! 40's a good one. I'll have a White Russian in remembrance of you.

posted by croctommy 11 July | 13:42

Are you ready to be fucked, man?

No, really, you're all lucky I can't be there, because I'm getting a new ball (yay, deep employee discount) which will take my game to the next level. I'm talking about averaging 200+. I'm teaching myself to bowl right-handed so that I can still play with mere mortals without horrendously embarrassing them.

Sadly there is no way I can go, but I can think of you and say:

He fixes the cable?

On that night. Many, many happies.

posted by Divine_Wino 11 July | 13:51

Preemptive happy happies, Pips. 4-0 and radiant, babe.

posted by Eideteker 11 July | 13:53

Hey Pips! I can't rock'n'bowl with you, but I heartily wish you a happy 40. Prime of life! Enjoy the hell out of it - way to go for making it this far in style, and well wishes for a very happy future of novelwriting and beachgoing. Strike!

We'd be glad to have ya in our league there, hellbient... Would the mrs. be joining us?

HJ, sure you can't make it? I'll toast marshmellas for ya? (Even though it is Shabbas, and, well, you know, fire...)

(MeCha rocks!)

MeChudes & MeChettes. What about MeChoads?

Pips, you know I love you like Barney loves the chirrren, but I'll be on the road.

Welcome to the 20's, young lady!

Haven't done that, however.

I hope your bday rocks!

Wish I could be there, Pips. Sounds like the setup for a great birthday. Birthday whuffles to you!

Happy FORTY Pips! Go for the 6 or 7 bagger.

40 is like my high score in bowling...

posted by eekacat 11 July | 17:15

50 is the new 40.

Just sayin'

Is it too late to RSVP?

posted by TrishaLynn 11 July | 19:32

No, not too late, TL... You're always welcome in my lane... I'm gonna send out some emails, though, and see if a few more folks can make it... if not, jon and I might just head out to the beach on Friday instead of Saturday, stay for a couple nights. I'll let ya know, though...
