I need an adventure. To start after Christmas. Not too expensive, within North America. Bumming around is fine. Any ideas? Anybody want me to swing by and pick them up? Can you tell I'm bored?

Please swing by Vermont and take me to New Mexico for the winter. That sounds nice.

Please come to Birmingham Alabama. We can swing through Atlanta, kidnap BoringPostcards, and go on a multi-state crime spree. It'll be awesome. All the cool kids are doing it.

What about the GF?

BOP, Ardiril and I have been on interstate adventures before. I remember one in particular where we sold surplus Pirates tickets to a scalper, then at the game at Three Rivers Stadium, sat next to the folks who'd bought said tickets and found out the scalper lost money on the deal. That was fun.

(So what I'm sayin' is, we'd make an awesome posse.)

Also that as far as crime sprees go, I'm a big-picture guy... just sayin'.

bop: About 1/2 mile from BP's place is an Atlanta strip club where I met someone who led me onto some of my life's greater adventures. BP however was not involved.

df: 1 way or round trip? You mind if we swing byNYC for a meetup?

mel: Sure, bring your gf. The more the merrier. Oh, you mean mine? History.

When were you guys at Three Rivers? You were about 2000 feet from were I'm sitting right now, although the crazy family that we bought from was living here then.

See, I'm on the global frequency.

Small banks, in and out, nobody hurt, lotsa property damage. I'm just sayin'.

Also, having been at BP's place just last month, I'm INSULTED that I wasn't introduced to that strip club.

Come to NYC and we'll get liquored up together. This town wont know what hit it. Bring BP, Bring BOP, Bring your PO, Bring PB, Bring J, Bring the whole fucking alphabet.

posted by jonmc 10 December | 21:44

Let me know the next time you're there, bop. I'll take you on a tour of Atl's middle- and low-brow spots. Forget the high-class joints; they're just air.

jon: Swinging by to see you and pips again is something I would really like to do.

If y'all wanna come to Montreal, I have a double bed... *waggles eyebrows*

Canada is certainly doable. Maybe knock on kelly's and orange swan's doors for a cup or mug of sumpin'.

posted by Ardiril 10 December | 22:05

Bring your PO, Bring PB, Bring J, Bring the whole fucking alphabet.

If we get JFJ there, it's ON!

Ogden Nash? Is he still alive?

When were you guys at Three Rivers?

About 11 years ago, I think, octothorpe.

posted by BoringPostcards 10 December | 22:10

Falling Water in January, if I were to swing by Pittsboig. 11 years is about right; after I started Georgia Tech and before my bypass.

Well then just PYHBYLAKYAG!

posted by jonmc 10 December | 22:40

octo, we were just watching a show called Man vs. Food on Travel Channel where he went to pittburgh and ate 'the world's hottest wings' at a place called 'Quaker Steak.' You ever had 'em?

posted by jonmc 10 December | 22:41

also, I just killed a big ol' bottle of this. Good stuff.

posted by jonmc 10 December | 22:43

That does sound like a good stout.

posted by Ardiril 10 December | 22:48

it is really good, with a nice strong (but not overpowering) espresso aftertaste.

posted by jonmc 10 December | 22:51

Jon, Quaker Stake and Lube is big casual restaurant/bar chain, I thought that they were everywhere.

posted by octothorpe 10 December | 23:50

They're opening a Quaker Stake and Lube near my office. I almost fell down when I saw it. "that would be a horrible condiment for a steak!"

Hey--if there's to be an Airdiril/BP/BOP crime spree, count me in (and wait 'til I'm back). No crime spree is complete without a moll. Yes, I will go to strip clubs. Ask BOP.

posted by elizard 11 December | 02:43

Also, if I'm on Galiano while you're in the PNW, let me know. I may be able to offer you a place to stay.

posted by elizard 11 December | 02:45

Ardiril, if you get to the Detroit/Windsor area we could put you up for a day or two if we are still here.

posted by arse_hat 11 December | 02:51

I guess there's no chance of me being able to be picked up in the midst of this? I don't mind walking to the end of the street to make it easier for you.

posted by dg 11 December | 03:52

Where you at, dg?

posted by Ardiril 11 December | 10:31

Please swing by Vermont and take me to New Mexico for the winter. That sounds nice.

Hey if you're both in Vermont at some point you can help me move some furniture around! DarkForest, where do you live?
