Remember Robin?
I would have loved the opportunity to have a drink with Robin. Those of you who manage to meet, please raise a glass for him.

Re: Straggler vs Mod - Coffeehouse showdown
Howza head today?
Not bad, how's yours?
The other comic woke me up to go the gym at around 9am today (I drank till about 3am).
I went to the gym, worked out a bit, threw up a bit, hit the sauna, threw up some more... Show time is at 7:30pm which is in about an hour and a half, and my glass is half full once again with the funny juice. Stay tune for more late night inebriated posting.
Hopefully my brain won't tell me to insult Taz this time. Don't know what happened there.
May the madness continue. If you don't look me up when you cross the pond I will hunt you down and turn your toes into shoelaces.
Understood! When I do though, tell the wifey it's gonna be an all nighter (drink'n and what not) with a guy you met on an internet forum... she'll understand.

Much better now I am back on the "juice" again! We get free beer on Friday at work (Aussie company - Aussie rules) and now a few glasses of the vino de Argentina at home. Feelin much "better". Hic!
The other comic woke me up to go the gym at around 9am today (I drank till about 3am).
That is impressivley dedicated. I have not done that sort of hardcore shit since I was marathon training years ago now.

Amen to that! I'll be singing online at this rate.

Hah! Yeah riiiiight! You obviously know latino women! Passionate, fiery and completely reasonable and understanding regarding drinking with "strangers". I'll sort something out though don't you worry.

Moose & Nemesis Juggernaut
Two members come to mind in particular who I would especially enjoy meeting are Moose and Nemesis Juggernaut, both of whom I have great respect for, Moose being more or less counterpart to my POV and Nemesis more of less being a proponent to my POV.
Moose has shared some of his interesting life with the board in the past. We have also had a cordial debate/dialog one on one thread, as he attemps to figure me out. LOL, Moose. Perhaps some day we can talk over dinner. Better yet, perhaps some glorious day we may both be Christian itinerants in the pearly gated city of mansions and walk together down the city's gold paved streets.

BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW.
The immeasurable present eternally extends the infinite past and infinitely consumes the eternal future.

Are you fuck'n serious? Sorry, (drunk and smoked) again tonight... They give you FREE beer on Friday? Do you know what they do in America on Friday? They let you wear a Hawaiian shirt to work... Really, who gives a shit about a Hawaiian shirt?
That is impressivley dedicated. I have not done that sort of hardcore shit since I was marathon training years ago now.
I'm single right now so I have no choice. Once I get a steady lady friend I'll pull back a bit and gain a little weight back.
Will we ever learn?
I hope not...when I think about it, what's there to learn? I like it like this good sir.
Hah! Yeah riiiiight! You obviously know latino women! Passionate, fiery and completely reasonable and understanding regarding drinking with "strangers". I'll sort something out though don't you worry.
LOL - Hey, whatever you can do, Straggler. I know the plight of the married man and I sympathize. Especially with those latinas!

Re: Straggler vs Mod - Coffeehouse showdown

Yeah. No joke.
Sorry, (drunk and smoked) again tonight...
Tut. Tut. Tut.
They give you FREE beer on Friday?
Yeah. And wine. And alcopops for those so inclined. Around St Paddy's the Guinness was flowing. During Wimbledon Pimms was available. Around Burns night scotch was on the menu. You get the idea. But beer o'clock basically revolves around the crates of the cold fizzy stuff that you and our Ozzie cousins are so fond of. But there is some decent variation to keep the more fickle/adventurous happy. Usually enough of everything to get all those so inclined reasonably tanked. Friday afternoons can often be a pub induced right-off and then the free beer flows officially. It must be an Aus/Brit thing.
Really, who gives a shit about a Hawaiian shirt?
I would rather microwave my own eyeballs than wear a Hawain shirt.
I know the plight of the married man and I sympathize.
If the grass is always greener on the other side why are single men not constantly mowing the lawn? Or something like that........

Sounds like a lot of fun to work for an Aussie company then. I've drank with a few Aussies before. While I prefer vodka (carbs/calories) and I'm not really a heavy beer drinker (scotch if vodka isn't available), I respect their ability to throw back HUGE cans of Fosters. Scary actually, to see a little Aussie with a can almost his size not slow him down a bit. I imagine your resistance is much the same?

Oh com'on Straggler, a Brit like yourself in Brazil without a hawaiian Shirt? How else did you expect to get mugged? LOL

That's because it's NOT greener on any side. If you meet too many women, it gets boring and the conversations get dull. Then you want somebody to be with on a steady basis. When you get that, it too eventually gets boring and the conversations get dull. Till you meet the right one who you never get bored with. (Then you fuck that up on a road gig with a waitress who passes out, spends the night in your room, and answers your fuck'n phone in the morning!)
Like a friend of mine says: Being single is a balance between euphoria and lonelyness. Lonelyness right before you go to sleep, and euphoria the rest of the time.

It's been a year and a half and it's still a mark I can't shake off. Regret is a motherfucker to deal with. When the right one gets away from you for stupid reasons, oh man does it burn deep.

Well I will try to learn form your example and keep it in my pants. I would hate to do something stupid and lose the woman that is willing to put up with me.

Sadly though, nothing came out of my pants. She passed out from drinking and answered my phone thinking it was hers. But try explaining that - especially to a latin woman (take note Straggler).

Yep...it's not fun at all.

Ouch!

Work is work is work. But I do actually like my job and, yeah, overall it is better than most. But like everyone I want to be a rockstar (or "rockstar" comedian!!!!!! - You are livin the dream Oni) really.
I respect their ability to throw back HUGE cans of Fosters
Any sentance that contains both the words "respect" and "Fosters" is just sooooo wrong in my book.
I imagine your resistance is much the same?
At the moment my resistance is tellingly and unhealthily high. Yes I could probably even drink with Australians without flinching (in fact I do regularly). But it varies. When I hit the health kick, hit the gym and actually sort myself out as I do every so often my tolerance dramatically and very noticeably drops. But at 37 it is gettin harder and harder to do.

Ouch! I read the conversation between you and Theo. Ouch again.

I think an EvC get together would be a friggen' blast because I'd like to meet, speak, and party with so many people. Though unfortunately a lot of them are no longer around (Jar, Crash). If we have one, it should be in Denver... just sayin'...
But I do have four that sit slightly atop the list: Moose and Onifre because they crack me up in nearly every single one of their posts. I suspect Moose may not have this intention (and I apologize for finding the humor, Moose), but just his telling it like it is makes me smile. Straight up, no shit from the both of them. I love that.
The third is Nosy. He just seems like the coolest guy on the board. What takes me 3 paragraphs to get across, he can say in two sentences.
The fourth is edge. It'd be fun to commiserate.
