So here we start.

Yesterday, Kwitko called and told me when he'd be arriving in Detroit. Blackhawk said "Tell him to bring me some real New York style pizza".. I said "Seth, bring Raul some real New York style Pizza"..

Seth says, "Fine... I'll talk to my guy...."

He has a GUY that he has to talk to for frigging PIZZA? :wtf:

anyways, the pizza arrived today. Raul tried it. I tried it.

It sucked.

It's a flat piece of crap! WTF?!!??! THIS is pizza? Bleh! Go to chicago, you goons!

Thrax and Nomad arrived a bit later. Thrax was introducing Nomad to everybody. He pointed to General Keebler and said "This is GnomeWizardd"..... :eek:

Keebler's reaction? Fall on the ground, writhing in agony....

Thanks, wish I could be there (really). On the fourth, I will be helping with the logistics for an evening party for about 108 people at one of the boat clubs down here. Let's just say I got to go that way.... Mom's the party co-ordinator.... subs, oerduerves, pie (choice of cherry or apple, ala mode), beer, or BYOB whatever.... Then large scale citizen and city sponsored fireworks out over our somewhat little (and shallowish in random places) Charlotte Harbor courtesy of a bunch of donators.... :D But in thoughts, will be with you-all on that night. GREAT to see Raul there....

Last night, at 3:30 AM:

Keebler brought an air horn with him. You know, those air cans with horns on the end that are EXTREMELY loud.... Well earlier, we got him with it when he fell asleep, so he took it from us and put it in his pocket. Well, when he fell asleep again, -tk tried to pull a mission impossible to get the air horn from Keebs.

It didn't work out. There was a lot of drinking going on last night :(

Yet another :wtf: situation....

primesuspect

4 Jul 2004, 2:38am

Okay. Here's the situation. You'll remember back in the party thread (http://www.short-media.com/forum/showpost.php?p=149209&postcount=30) there was mention of something called UNTAMED RETRIBUTION.

Well, guess what. Keebler, Mmonnin, and Thrax drove to Ohio today to BUY THE FRICKING THING. They came back with a motherlode of pyrotechnics. This is going to be crazy.

primesuspect

4 Jul 2004, 2:40am

Everywhere this guy goes.. I swear...

We started a new game called "Find where TheSMJ crashed out".... :whatever:

The other game is "take bets on the next snuffie/thesmj mantouch session"

Red rockets, snuffie! Red rockets! :celebrate

4 Jul 2004, 4:37am

Yikes! Some of those look like crime-scene photos... :eek2: ;D

Thrax

4 Jul 2004, 4:38am

Keebs made sure not to be victimized the second time. The early morning "Ninjer" operations on a sleeping Keebler to retrieve the airhorn (See prime's post above) was a failure.

However this is a direct result of this picture. Keebs dropped at approximately 10:30 at night, exhausted from his extended sojourn with Kwitko (Undoubtedly laden with mantouching incidents).

The airhorn was not so secure this first time, so in a brilliant piece of timing between Mmonnin and myself, I have capture the expression delivered by keebler the exact moment of waking.

Regards,

Your local Japanese Ninja Porn-Loving Opteron Faerie.

I'ts a 30 mile trip from his place to mine..

I'm a slob, and no matter how much I try I never manage to keep holes out of my socks.

At least they let me sleep this time. I guess that's what bringing 10 pounds of hotdogs can get you.

I felt the need to find a "special" picture of Prime to even the score. Here, he and Thom share a tender, bonding moment on the patio. :p

primesuspect

5 Jul 2004, 12:33am

The following is a true story.

This morning, Blackhawk put CHOCOLATE SAUCE and RANCH on a FREAKING HOT DOG. And then HE ATE IT.

primesuspect

5 Jul 2004, 12:35am

My kids attacked me this morning. Luckily there were at least 5 people standing around with a camera to capture the moment. Notice the foot in the face.

primesuspect

5 Jul 2004, 12:39am

Here's everyone gathered 'round the ole laptop, MAKING FUN OF ME AND -TK.. :grumble:

primesuspect

5 Jul 2004, 12:49am

Profdlp totally got me today. He totally pwned me. I admit defeat.

The major group of us went out to eat. About five minutes after we got back, there was a knock at my door. I opened the door and there was a guy there who said:

"Hi, we just moved in down the street and I was wondering if you guys could keep it down tonight. I don't want to be a bad neighbor, but it would be great if you guys could keep it a bit quieter".

I was like, "oh crap.. Dammit, bad impression on the neighbors." We WERE pretty loud last night and generally we are outside till 3-4 in the morning, and people get kind of loud.

Then he said "Yeah, my partner and I like to play mantouch at night and ...."

I lost it. It was profdlp.

Oh the joys of the first time "in person" meetings :D

primesuspect

5 Jul 2004, 12:51am

Now, for the ULTIMATE pwnage pic.

As a matter of revenge against Profdlp, I told my dog to play a rousing game of red rockets with him.

This is another "once in a lifetime" photo.... Get ready for this one.... Notice the red rocket :eek:

Yes, definitely! No official date set yet, but most likely in the second half of August, there is going to be an S-M get together in lovely NY.

On another note, if you ever plan on driving to the NYC area, I highly suggest you purchase an E-ZPass (http://www.e-zpassny.com/) tag for the tolls. The cash lines can get backed up over an hour, plus you'll look all 1337 passing the out-of-towners who didn't know about it. Even if you use it once, it's worth it.
