Happy International Women's Day! Mimosas for all the women of Mecha, who are some of the coolest chicks in the world.

It's true - they are, one and all, the epitome of womanhood. I salute all the female members here because, without them, the place would be awful.

I meant bunnies. Bunnies.

Mimosas, Orange Juice, Koolosas, and Kool-Aid! Drinks for everyone!

I said: "Cheers, lady bunnies!" and mixed up sangria, manhattans, mojitos, and Italian sodas*

I think I saw a dingo. Maybe?

It would be considerably less perky, that is certain.

I dunno, Specklet, I kinda liked the non sequitur.

Everyone may have whatever drinks and flowers they like! Wheee!

Yay, Mecha women!

Woman on women from Magnum Group.

yay! (we should all get flowers now)

posted by small_ruminant 08 March | 17:48

I'm eating chocolate as we speak. Screw the flowers, get me more chocolate.

I'll take a martini please.

Yay MeCha women!

I am so very lacking in my drinking repertoire: I've never had a mimosa or a bellini and I've only had a couple sips of a mojito.

Bring me a sparkling water, Cabana Boy.

Well, sure. Without them we'd just be running around naked making animal noises and flinging crap at eachother. hey, that sounds fun....

(also, I'd like bourbon, served in Morrissey's skull)

Oooh, Cymbidium orchids and champagne drinks for me!! Mmmm. Cheers, my lady bunnies!

Yay! Women of Mecha! I'll have a Stella.

posted by LoriFLA 08 March | 18:15

I'm putting the bevvies in the fridge until tomorrow!

Mecha women rock. They're way above average when it comes to being compassionate, funny and whip-smart. (And the Mecha men realize this, are not intimidated and hold their own--which means they rock in equal proportion.)

Exactly how are are you saluting them?
/lowers tone considerably...

Seriously though, I think that it is telling that I am still not sure of the gender of some of you, and aside from me not being crazy about the thought of rubbing apricot oil on jonmc's belly, other than that, in my mind, you are all pretty awesome, whatever gender y'all are.

posted by danf 08 March | 19:03

Yay for the MeCha women! : )

Every year they tell me it's the International Women day, but they never tell me where I get in line to get mine. If they're not distributing international women for free, then what's the point?

*ducks*

Hear, hear, occhiblu! A thousand times!

me not being crazy about the thought of rubbing apricot oil on jonmc's belly,

*hmph*

you could never afford me. (seriously, the bar tab alone would kill you)

qvantamon, International Women Day /= Free Pancake Day

Besides, you have to go to IHOP for the pancakes, and I have no "IHOW" (International House of Women) in my area.

That said, I salute all the Real Women of MeCha, as well as the mysterious androgynous usernames, but not the dudes in Tom Hanks drag (I'm talkin' 'bout Lipstick Thespian and It's Raining Florence Henderson... doooods!)

wendell, have you thought about extending into the porn domain name business? www.internationalhouseofwomen.com seems like pure gold :)

posted by qvantamon 08 March | 20:03

I've noticed they're all far above average. Coincidence? I think not!

posted by tommasz 08 March | 20:45

Thanks to all women everywhere, for everything. Thanks. Without you, the world would be a much darker place.

posted by loquacious 08 March | 21:39

Well, damn, if I'd known y'all were buying I would have ordered more than the PBR. ;-)
