Legion;
It appears that you and I missed each other by seconds last night (according to IJ). Sorry, bud, we’ll meet one of these days. Hey, it’s been a great week for us denizens of the right, huh?? 😉
Fellow OT’ers: I’d like to present a topic for next week’s “serious” OT discussion: “Why are Jews liberals?”.
For your homework, please read this article “Why are Jews liberal?” by the great Norman Poderhetz, a Brooklyn-born Jew (and father of the also-great John Poderhetz:
Was that Rumi? If so, he ALSO said: “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing or rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there.” Or something like that. Equally apropos 😉
I found the link to the house/ice skating rink. I didn’t read all the posts and won’t link it in case someone said something they don’t want to be read again.
Biff, I believe the discussion was in reference to house of the day which had these unbelievably gorgeous, ornate, iron, New Awlin’s-looking fire escapes lining its back. We thought it would be simply wonderful to fire up some Mint Juleps (which, if memory serves, I misspelled ‘julip’ and was called out for it) and have a party in the back yard. Perhaps some Coltrane playing. Probably Davis.
Thanks Legion. Is this the prescription for head-in-hands-rueful-day-after-sheepishness these days? Given the latest studies out of Univ. of Penn with regard to placebos and drugs, I’ll take it!
And ExTex, how on earth is it I managed to avoid embarrassing myself with you too? 😉
“So glad to meet many of you for the first time ( ^5 to DH, Loss For Words, Brokedeveloper, Exp Text, the Why, BH, CG ups, jessi’s roomates, Denton and the Mrs.)”
Ahem, did we not meet last night? 🙁

Hi again,
so sorry bowl of dicks, that was by no means a comprehensive list.
we did indeed meet, although the other regulars were keeping you on the other side of the room.
you must read the OT from two weeks ago with a list of
alternative puns suggested by your nom de plume.
hope to see you at the next gathering as well.
noki,
take two aspirin and plenty of water.
e-mail us in the morning.

Have a good weekend all!

Just post the damn link, you tease!
lol noki,
whoever said “the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom” must have been to one too many brownstoner gatherings.
I found the link to the house/ice skating rink. I didn’t read all the posts and won’t link it in case someone said something they don’t want to be read again.
But if you all say it’s okay, I’ll link it.

I looked for the link earlier, but couldn’t find it, and haven’t had time to go back.
Biff??
