Kate told me to tell all of you that there’s food being prepared at her place. You should all come here. If you don’t, you probably suck. Plus, we already finished the manual labor, so you don’t have to work, you’ll just get fed. Kind of like all those undeserving poor that will benefit from Obama’s new stimulus package.

God/Gun - same first letter, same # of letters - coincidence?

Got this in a coupon flier yesterday.  Somehow it took me a few moments to parse what the ad was actually about.  Guess this company really knows its target audience.  Does anyone else find the picture of the dude in the corner as menacing as I do (very menacing)?  The next thing that came to mind was, of course:

“And St. Attila raised the hand grenade up on high saying, `O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemeis to tiny bits, in Thy mercy’ and the Lord did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orang-utangs and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and…”

First, Thou shall pull back the Holy bolt.  Then Thou shall count to 3 if you know how.  Otherwise, take a gulp of beer and just shoot the bastard, whatever it might be.  A trip to their website, as the damn yankee I am, was a little shocking in their promotion of guns as gifts to boys (complete with an apparently official ‘Boy Scouts of America’ rifle).  One particularly interesting passage from the Varmint Express .17 HMR is:

The Henry Varmint Express is a great choice for squirrels, prairie dogs, crows, rabbits and even fox or weasels. For the ultimate varmint hunting experience with a traditional firearm, ask your local dealer about the Henry Varmint Express today.

A few Thees and Thous and you’ve got yourself a Holy Grail scene.  People still use the word ‘varmint’? ‘Dawg gawn it, Pa, if we had that there Henry Varmint Express rifle we could be eatin’ squirrel every night of the week!  Kin we git one?’

I stand behind my Yankee roots.

So, I need to get some more work done tonight; but before I get crackin’ on that, given that it’s Friday, I’d like to do something fun for an hour or two.

Anyone want to do something?  Ram skeller, Taj Mahal, Alley-Cat?

Dude, I want one. Sorry to update a post that's not mine, I thought it needed some color. - Adam

So I’m trying to shift to the other room in my apartment this weekend, and I will at several points need help shifting furniture. I have every intent of bribing you guys for help. There will be alcohol, food, and other festivities – as such it seems worth it to have a party (that and to celebrate possibly my last weekend w/o a roomie). It’s looking like things will start late Saturday afternoon/early evening (I know at least some of you actually want to do work).

As for festivities: I have various board games, ps2, 360, wii, and dreamcast. There are 2 tv’s – both small, and one can only handle the dreamcast – I might also be able to hook up one of my monitors, I’m not sure about that though. If one of you wants to borrow a projector, we could probably move furniture to free up a wall.

Basically entertainment is whatever you want. As for alcohol/food, I would be eternally grateful if someone would be willing to play taxi that morning – the bonus being your favorites will be bought for sure. As to what you want to eat – post here. I’m thinking pizza, chips, pretzels – let me know if there’s anything else you want.

I think that’s it – if there’s anything else I think of I’ll edit/comment later.

What’s going on this evening? Anything? Can THIS go on this evening?

Anyone up for anything tonight?
I’m feeling the need to forget coding for a while.
Skellar Beer && Pizza sound good?
Maybe a game while we’re there – we haven’t Munchkin’d in a while, and there’s also Chez Geek

¿Es muy cómico, sí?

And I still haven’t seen the movie they’re watching, and I still don’t really want to.
