A few things I would like to share with you all about the upcoming LCLF. It is not being held in my house, but in the home of a good friend (and absinthe drinker) of mine who has graciously opened his doors to us. It appears that when all is said and done, there will be about 25-30 of us good folks there. There are two rules for this gathering (bummer dude, I hate rulz) but these are easy ones.
1. NO marijuana, or other illegal drugs. This is kind of a no-brainer, but it had to be said. If you bring any, you will be shown the door.
2. No pets. If ya got em, leave em home or at the place you are staying at. Seeing eye dogs exempt.
3. Not a rule, but a request from me. Since the denizens of the lounge come from mixed and varied backgrounds, conversations will be very lively. I would only suggest that we follow the example of those crazy Masonic Lodge folk and keep the topics of religion and politics for another venue. I think we have all seen great social situations go to hell-in-a-handbag because of the passions that these subjects bring, especially when drinking.
OK, now let the flaming begin!

I guess my cannabis-sprouting Chia George W. Bush Head violates all three rules.

Fine, I'll just leave him at home.

Will we have a designated area for brawling?

I hate to start a good drunken brawl and then have to stop and move.

Oh, and can we have a rule barring DG from wearing a thong, I mean you just never know about the monkey.

Well I'm expecting a crotch punch upon arrival but I suppose that's okay as long as it occurs before arriving at the house.

You shouldn't have said that, now there's going to be a line.

*sigh*

I'll just have to drink enough to numb the pain.

I think that would be a very good idea.

Curious is the mentioning of pets.

More curious is the absence of a
helper-ferret mention.















No, Bump'll spend his nights alone, barren
really, since he's unable to sire kits.
A true "business" of his own.

That was moving, truly moving.

That sounded sarcastic, succulence.

xit

Bob, you make me laugh.
Seriously.

Hey, here's an idea that's
controversial. Bring T-shirts
or stupid local xit to
give/trade or whatever.

I'm going to regret posting this
as soon as I hit enter.

No politics/religion sounds like a good idea to me.

John Lennon thought of it first, but yeah.


Bumpy, that's a very cool idea. I'll be wearing my Iron Chefs t-shirt that came from DG. I'll need to get out and find some cool local stuff to give away, it sounds like fun.

You guys are starting to freak me out.

Then it's a good thing you won't be there.

Indeed.

I can live with the no drugs, and no dogs
But it was starting to sound like a lodge meeting.
Coupled with a Tupperware party.

There's a reason we named it the Political xit Hole. No one said anything about discussing religion and politics at the Cuff though.

Again, we're thrilled that you won't be at our absinthe soaked Tupperware party. Because, I for one, hold your opinions in such high regard.

I'm sure if I could be there ,
we would find enough in common
to have a friendly discussion
without drugs , dogs , dogma or democracy factoring in.

My favorite topics are macrame
and earth tones.

A great idea. What people will find when they arrive is that any concept of politics/religion will seem petty and trivial once you're among friendly faces and amazing absinthe.
At LF03 I couldn't have guessed who the President was, as I was too busy enjoying life to care.
I open my big ass mouth here on politics because I find written debate fun, and like to hear others' POV, but to talk about that garbage in real life while drinking with interesting people is just silly and a waste of breath.

I'm looking forward to all the reports and photos from LCLF, and wish I could be there...

I'll be sure to bring an Asian-American
camera, clothing not from a sweat-shop
and a pleather belt. Just to be safe.

But then you're not buying American, forcing small children out of work, AND using unnatural products made of the highly toxic (to produce and dispose of) and non-recyclable polyvinylchloride (PVC).

Stick to a nice American camera (if ya can FIND one), any clothing not purchased at Wal-Mart, and real leather or natural fiber suspension garments.

I'll be sure to bring some Cherokee hair tampons.

Good, we don't want your snatch dripping spongewater on the carpet.

HA! That makes two of us.

DG

I'm planning on wearing a steel plate down the front of my pants. I suggest you do the same.

Already got one, it's called a chastity belt.

DG

It won't help you, Jack has the spare key.

And a wicked sawzall if you change the lock. Piss us off, we'll give it to Trainer.

No politics? So I guess we won't be talking about school bonds.

MrGreenGenes

You could wear this, it's functional and attractive.
The cougar might be a little much though.

The key, or the Sawzall?

I'm feeling a moment coming on . . .

The Sawzall. The key only works sometimes.

Yeah, the lock is kinda rusty....

DG

Donations?
Rules?

Hmmm...

Hmmm?...

Hmmm what?

Rule #1, don't be the first to pass out!

That takes Ballz.

That is Balz!

Should we start a pool.

Who'll be the first to "disappear"?

Rule #1: Don't talk about rules.

DG

No, Rule #1 is "You must drink now".
Rule #2 is "don't talk about rules".

#3 No lighting the sugar on fire

MrGreenGenes

Rule #3: Repeat.


DG

But dude I heard that if you burn your sugar you get way more fuct up and hallucinate and junk.

That rule sucks!

JBM and DG.

You just said that to make SPAZ-ASS jealous.

Okay, I'll change my bet...

SB and What's his fuck will be the first to "disappear."

Na, I'm not hairy enough for him.

He likes the leatherman type.
I'm more of the stick that in me and I'll kill you type.
