Jonmc and scody in the same bar? I assume the jukebox was well stocked.

Just because, here is a picture of all of the colorfull stuff in this picture.

I was there in spirit, while my body was stuck in the Upper West Side grading Numerical PDE homework assignments.

Awwww Scody... *wipes tear from eye* Thanks!

And Jon? Man I don't envision you any other way than the way you are in those pics (and I mean that in the best of ways). Livin' the life, man. \m/

nice Potsie Weber chord on the air guitar :)

I walked past manitobas, but I was running late heading elsewhere. Oh well, next time.

Before I even noticed the names by the photos I was able to spot jonmc and scody by their rock wear alone. Thanks for the shout-out scody, my grandma is going to be so proud when she sees this.

Splatta didn't show up? Odd.

Me and Brian got stuck in the worst traffic on the way back from Philadelphia, we left at 6 and got home at 11.

It was awful, sorry.

dame, scody... I feel like the old Athenian whose two sons won Olympic gold medals.
he decided to commit suicide because the honor was too great -- he would never be as happy again in his entire life

on the other hand, I might just decide to stay alive for a while and wait for a dame/scody/naxosaxur shoutout
posted by matteo at 6:45 AM on September 26, 2005

It's true, it was the third worst traffic I've ever been in.
posted by nomad at 6:45 AM on September 26, 2005

who keeps track of traffic?

weirdo.
posted by splatta at 6:52 AM on September 26, 2005

sorry I had to miss it.

What's the puppy's user number?

What a lovely cursive hand dame has.
posted by kenko at 9:31 AM on September 26, 2005

cursive hand? why does that make it sound like she's deformed? The rest of the day, I'm gonna be picturing her sitting on a corner with a malformed appendage saying "alms for the poor..." in an english accent.
posted by jonmc at 9:35 AM on September 26, 2005

*gives dame alms... then steals all her cupcakes*

Ha! Just try to nab me with that lovely cursive hand! You'll never ca-aaatch me.
posted by taz at 9:59 AM on September 26, 2005

Dude, dorian, could you please find more ways to make me look fat? Metatalk, I am not fat. I am cute. I would prove it but my face has diappeared from the MeCha faces.

*hangs head in shame*
posted by dame at 10:25 AM on September 26, 2005

oh, quitcherbitchin'. In my pictures he makes evey acne scar and crooked tooth show up in glorious relief. And he didn' take pictures of your crotch, at least.
posted by jonmc at 10:29 AM on September 26, 2005

No, just my "hindquarters."
posted by dame at 10:43 AM on September 26, 2005

I will attest that dame is quite cute in person (not that I think those pictures make you look uncute).

omg dorian AGAIN why was i not informed? Missing you x2 does not sit well with me :( It's so good to see you around again...

Therefore, I’m preemptively requesting a NYC meet-up for the weekend starting Friday, October 14 (which is my only free weekend until November) so you'd better be present, or I'll come find you...

matteo, i promise an addendum to your shout-out request in say, like, 48 hours...okay?
posted by naxosaxur at 11:06 AM on September 26, 2005

I should really go to an nyc meetup at least once. Then you can all marvel at my beauty, intelligence and charm.
posted by shmegegge at 11:30 AM on September 26, 2005

Yet again I get ignored in the list of MeCha ladies.
posted by matildaben at 11:40 AM on September 26, 2005

oh me too, matildaben, me too.

Omie2 is XX?
posted by ROU_Xenophobe at 11:50 AM on September 26, 2005

Oh, I'm sorry girls. Are you making fun of my drunken penmanship professor-man?
posted by dame at 11:54 AM on September 26, 2005

Ooooh, a threat! That beats a shoutout any day.
posted by dodgygeezer at 11:57 AM on September 26, 2005

apologies, I thought everyone had interactively deleted unwanted shots (then again, there was drinking involved) ... the hindquarters one (which I'd only kept 'cos of the puppy) is now gone, if that makes you feel any better.

mid-october is perfect, with luck I will be settled in the new apartment. in which case I request the place be somewhere in brooklyn, e.g. spuyten duyvil...?
posted by dorian at 12:23 PM on September 26, 2005

Oh, don't worry, dorian. (I actually didn't mind the hindquarters, just responding to jon.) I was just giving myself some deniability for the next thread about fatness, where I say, "I'm not that fat, but still so many fashion folks make clothes to small . . ."
posted by dame at 12:27 PM on September 26, 2005

Me three, matildaben.

*sniff*
posted by deborah at 12:48 PM on September 26, 2005

Looks like fun. Sorry I couldn't make it; they gave me a last-minute business trip.
posted by Vidiot at 1:01 PM on September 26, 2005

i work in brooklyn...gah.

...spuyten duyvil...good call.
posted by naxosaxur at 1:16 PM on September 26, 2005

I thought scody and jon couldn't be in the same room together for fear of a disaster singlehandedly wiping out the mefi rock and roll brain trust.
Looks like everyone had a great time.

maybe next time we'll do a correct iPod war.
posted by hellbient at 2:08 PM on September 26, 2005

thanks to all you crazy kids for showing me such a great time last night -- I'll never forget the drunken racist clown or the sight of jon playing air guitar! *sniff* My only regret was that DaShiv wasn't there to make us all look like supermodels... how does he do it? How?!
posted by scody at 2:31 PM on September 26, 2005

Hey hey hey, ALL the people shots at the one meetup I posted pix for were boobie shots: See!?

Now that's a sock-puppet worth having.

Ditto, cousin.

Man, I'm beginning to be glad I missed the clown. God only knows what he would've yelled at me, and I might've had to kill him.
posted by jonmc at 6:33 AM on September 27, 2005

it's always a dark day, when a man kills a clown. needful, betimes, but dark.
posted by dorian at 7:38 AM on September 27, 2005
