“”I got home “glitter free!!!!!””
Damn, we failed in our mission! : P
“4. These two guys at the bar (not w/ our group) had a ton of sand in their vaginas and felt like we were disrespecing them b/c we were “up in their space” when we were ordering drinks and were totally trying to start a fight. They simmered down though.”
Lech, I thought it was just me! One of the guys was a total douche. He was away from his chair and I moved in to get a drink. He pushed me and muttered something to his friend. I contemplated mouthing off to him but didn’t want to disturb the positive vibe everyone was feeling.
two sick days in six years that is pretty impressive Biff…
Thank you, and thank you again! [photos are cracking me up!] BH and I had a glitter-ific time! Truth be told, Snaps inspired and supplied 95% of my glitter supplies, after trekking through 4 boroughs! I share the honor with her!
Donatella, Great to meet you, next time, a real conversation is in order!
The entire credit for the refunds, glitter [never enough!], prizes, and yummy crudite goes to Snappy [and bxgr for her fabulous CobbleSnaps and jackass art!]! Well done, ladies! Snaps, you RULE! : D
CGar, Your efforts corralling this group have not gone unnoticed! I know it was tough work, but you did an amazing job—you’re hired! : D
A special shout out to BriKenny and the SEVERAL LURKERS! James, james, Dave? Login, people!
Pigeon, and very amusing blond woman [I forgot your name already, sorry!] great to meet you, I am not The What, and neither is BH! ; )
Lechacal and Biff: Great to meet your better halfs! Good sports to put up with us! [They were raspberry coconut, but thank you just the same!!]
So there are really lurkers who take the time to read all of the drivel we post all day??? How could anything we have to say possibly be interesting enough for someone to sit in front of their laptop eating potato chips and hitting refresh all day? I mean we’re all kind of pathetic, but lurking just mystifies me.
Thanks to all for so warmly welcoming Mrs. C and my two former neighbours/friends. CobbleSnaps, incredible job with the organizing and CGar, amazing job whipping people to attend. The number of attendees was by far the largest ever.
By the way, went for a short walk this morning (off work for my second sick day in 6 years) and saw in a garbage can at the corner of Atlantic and Henry the empty leopard skinned Snuggie box. How the hell did it get there??
Heya Losers!
It was nice catching up with people. Venue was a great choice. Snacks were awesome (brownies were delish). Great seeing everyone and a few newbies. Hope all the new people will join us more often going forward.
oh no. pictures!
make that I’m a proud union loving commie. and just remember your bar etiquette.
Arkady isn’t really from arkansas(wherever that is), can’t be. I thought she was always brooklyn.
that tax refund was great. spent it already.
Loki was great forum….music wasn’t so loud that I could actually hear conversation and still had a voice when I left.
