I first came to brownstoner for the HOTD picks, stumbled into the OT on a day that was mostly political discussion, and ended up staying for the debates.
I was trampled by my horse last March (2009) and except for 45 days in the hospital, have been laid up at home with a shattered right femur that had to be re-broken in December. So in answer to your question lechacal, I’m the kind of loser that sits (lays) home all day hitting refresh on several different blogs.
I’ve never been able to attend any of your get togethers because I’m in Missouri (as well as a waist high cast); I’ll be in Brooklyn hopefully the day after I’m out of traction and this horrible cast. I’m looking forward to meeting some of you.
Thanks Donatella!
Snappy, I LOVED your T-Shirt, expecially the back, with references to the shared wisdom here — i.e. snow removal from lawns.
“lechecal, i just registered there with the email i gave you but it said that i will have to be approved first! can you approve me? how does this work?”
*rob*, I had the same problem. I’m told you have to send an email.
‘He pushed me and muttered something to his friend’
biff, he probably said something about investment bankers!
I bought rob a drink last night! Nice seeing everyone, tho I see we left early enuf to have missed a few.
1. “I mean we’re all kind of pathetic, but lurking just mystifies me.”
Sorry I didn’t meet the lurkers, but I said the same thing last night, lechecal. I mean, it’s hard enough (no homo) getting some regular incessantly posting PLUSAs to gatherings.
B. “He was away from his chair and I moved in to get a drink.”
Noki and I had the EXACT same experience with the a**holes at the bar. They went out of their way to move away from the bar and block the aisle when she and I were heading back to the gathering area. WTF??
Third, “I was going to confront them but couldn’t find Amzi (to make sure he had my back)”
Homo? No homo?
IV. “I know how to get a rise out of people, but . . . DIBS, you’re like a volatile compound that can cause an explosion at any moment!”
Homo? No homo? Early Raunch Hour?
Stuffed squirrel heads? I’m having visions of my shirt for next year….
lech, whatever it takes to clear the cobwebs.
“So I got another roof estimate this morning. It was totally different in scope and materials from the one I got earlier in the week.”
Dave, I’m non-PBR curious. Hope you liked my guy. (No homo)
