Toronto Meetup

January 22, 2007 5:23 PM

Okay, I realize this may ridiculous and silly but... any Toronto MeFites interested in grabbing a drink... Tonight? Say, Annex or Danforth or Roncy, 9:30 or 10ish? I'm bored and it's apparently the saddest day of the year.

Looks like it's only going to get sadder.

Not that it's any consolation, but if I were in Toronto I'd definitely hang out with you.

dobbs, if I were in Toronto I'd be down for hanging out too! Hey I'll grab a Newcastle and sit in front of my computer, you go ahead and pour out your problems, man, we're right here.

If only you had posted before I left work. But now it's too cold to drag my ass up the block to the Local. Truly sad.

I have to be up at 5:40 a.m. tomorrow, or I'd head out the door right now.

Alrighty, I tried. I'm antsy as hell so must head out the door and find a stranger into be my buddy.

Thanks, though.

You're never alone if you have Jesus.

Plus you just need to order water.

I'd take drinks with dobbs over drinks with Jesus any day. Alas, I'll have neither.

It's Canada, not Mexico.

But you'd never have to buy drinks with Jesus, what with the water-into-wine superpower. Can dobbs do that? I think not.

Aw, man, I would've gone out for a drink had I read this earlier. We need another meetup one of these days.

Yeah, but Jesus is always transmogrifying that Carlos Rossi by-the-jug shit.

Jesus is always trying to give of his endless supplies of bread and wine and fish. I just want some good feta.

Jesus don't want to share his Jim Beam

If he could, I'd be moving to Toronto to hang out with worship him.

Jim Beam is not made like mead.

No kidding. That's when I lost my faith. I said "Hey, Lord, I was expecting, if not Petrus, at least Chateau Musar, which is region-appropriate and delicious!" He looked solemn and said "Humility, my son. Two-Buck Chuck is good enough." And I said "If that's the best you can do, I'm outta here."

Don't expect me to buy
All your drinks because you died
Don't expect me to cover thee

It's not ridiculous and silly, dobbs. I also would have gone if I'd seen this last night. Too bad.
posted by chococat at 6:24 AM on January 23, 2007

Aww, thanks all.
posted by dobbs at 7:08 AM on January 23, 2007

Well, I was having a beer about the time you posted last night.

Jesus was a carpenter, and I dig carpenters.
posted by jessamyn at 9:35 AM on January 23, 2007

Dammit! I saw this TODAY. I would have been down, but you know, I don't check the MeTa every day. Damn, yall. Also, I'm drunk in my office right now. at 3:30pm.

Well, given the choice I'd rather nail 'em, but you know how it is.
posted by Dipsomaniac at 1:08 PM on January 23, 2007

guess it's too late...
posted by SNACKeR at 7:07 PM on January 23, 2007

Maybe this is a sign that there should be another TO meetup soonish?
posted by SassHat at 7:32 PM on January 23, 2007

I totally would've gone if I'd known in advance a few days, and I'd totally be into a meetup soonish.
posted by loiseau at 8:09 PM on January 24, 2007

I think dobbs did this on purpose, just to tease us.
