• Hmmmm, i'm under 21, but I'd love to meet you guys. If someone could give me a call for any post/pre-bar monkey activities I'd be much obliged. I'd rather not post my phone # here, but just AIM me: purinapremium if that's possible.
• i have a fake moustache you could wear.... is space kitty gonna be back in town? where has squiddy been hiding? why is the sky black at night? is drjimmy gonna come?
• Where have the LA monkeys been lately? I had some amazing link for you, but now I've forgotten what it was.
• Hey, all you LA monkeys best be meeting when I move out there in August.
• oh, sorry, the last meeting is going to be july 31st...too bad.
• SONOFA----!!!!!
• Was it this, tracicle? Cellar Floor, I'm sorry about the place being 21+. I picked it in honor of space kitty's name. Send me your phone# and we'll give you a call if we progress to another venue. Squidranch and space kitty will both be there, as far as I know.
• Thems the rules, f8x.
• That totally was it, mandyman. My brain is apparently teh crap.
• Is anyone else weirded out by the social awkwardness of having to say something like "Hi, are you here for the [Internet Website] meetup?" or "Hi, I'm [Strange Internet Screen Name], you must be [Equally Strange Internet Screen Name]?" Or is it just me? ...especially in public, where the normals with their human names will see us...
• Oh, look at that youngun with the sign in Mandyman's link! I grabbed his nose. Has he missed it? Hutta, it ain't just you. Here's how you combat those heebie-jeeebies: 1. Rent rollerskates 2. Wear them 3. Purchase several dozen cheap flowers 4. Prepare to toss them 5. Kiss everybody 6. Smile and be full of love 7. When unsure of how to respond, bite someone's arm See? Easy and fun! Meanwhile, y'all's goofyfoot is sick again and headed for the hospital (the perils of a weakened immune system + hanging out with those sneeezing wheezing toddlers who call themselves my niece and nephew). Kisses! If I can, I'll get stylish and meetcha there.
• Is anyone else weirded out by the social awkwardness of having to say something like "Hi, are you here for the [Internet Website] meetup?" or "Hi, I'm [Strange Internet Screen Name], you must be [Equally Strange Internet Screen Name]?" Ah, you get over it quite quickly. Meetup verterans such as myself can tell you that there's about 45 minutes of being slightly unsettled by what you're doing, then you're too drunk to care you get used to it. Also, it really helps if everyone's carrying a banana. Breaks the ice superbly - and also significantly decreases the chances of saying, "Hi, is this the internet meetup? I'm NoPantsGuy39" to the wrong group of people.
• If one wields a green bean, or an eggplant, what awful consequences ensue?
• That depends on what you mean by "wields". If you just wave it around, you might get jeered at; more serious consequences if you actually try to stick it down (or up) part of somebody's anatomy.
• wield v.[Two OE vbs.; (1) Com. Teut. str. vb., OE (WS.)wealden, Anglian)waldan, pa. t. weold,, pa. pple. . . . 1) To rule or or reign over, govern, command. 2) To have at command or disposal, hold, own, possess; to have the advantage of. 3) To direct the movement of. . . 4) To use or handle with skill and effect; to manage, ply (a weapon, tool or instrument, now always one held or carried in the hand). . .
• 2 is pretty safe, and if you can do 1, goofyfoot, I want pictures! Ditto for 4. As for 3, woohoo... very suggestive.
• I suggest an official LA Meetup Lingerie Pillow Fight.
• Seconded.
• Yes, squidranch and sexyrobot would probably look pretty damn hawt in something frilly.
• i, um, have pictures of that..... five dollars.
• Break out the manties, gentlemen.
• Those don't look comfortable.
• You don't have to feel comfortable, you just have to feel pretty, but after making like a Drama Queen at MeFi last night, I woke up... If I can make it to the MeetUp, I will NOT be wearing that...
• It's not how they feel, it's how they look that matters.
• OMG, this is tomorrow!!!!!
• tomorrow!!! yay!!! I'm wearing my manties!
• Seethe. I expect drunkdialing.
• It won't be the same without you, bone. OMG, could this afternoon be any more beautiful? Clean air and sunshine? I think I may faint.
• I got drunkdialed from the meetup last night and had a delightfully incoherent conversation with mandyman, sexyrobot and space kitty. I can now die happy. A look at my calendar shows that my week of vacation is from 3/21-25. I have gigs the mornings of the 20th and the 27th, so my impending California visit won't be overly long... but if y'all want to do a weeknight thing next month, I'm there.
• I have a cold and live far away, so I won't be attending. I think, however, that intriguing shoutouts of a vaguely sexual nature might help to get over the effects of this headfull of snot I'm carrying around like a bowling ball bag fulla wet sand. I got drunkdialed from the meetup last night Well, poop.
• My camera batteries died, so there are only a few pics. Squid should have video. Event
• ually.
• Sexyrobot is indeed very sexy, though not at all robotic.
• Another successful MoFiLA event! Mad, crazy props to squidranch for hosting the monkeys - here's hoping chocolate cream pie is enough of a reason for him to speak to any of us ever again. And because he can't stop outdoing himself, yes, there's Video. We're a noisy bunch, you may want to turn down the sound.
• Oh. My. God. The video shoutouts are effing hilarious. And Bert looks thrilled to be involved. )))))))))))))))))))))
• There's no business like monkey business there's no business we know...
