Hello Innocent Bystanders, Hostages, Stoats, Undeads, and other members of the International Moron Community.
As some of you know, last month a number of us got together to chat, drink, dance, and freshen the gene pools of our various parasitic infestations.
We have another bloodletting ceremony soiree planned for mid-September in Connecticut, likely by the shore. Shaping up to look like Saturday Sept. 12th will be the day.
The June meetup was the first one that included some non-Connecticutians (well, except for New Yorkers and Mass people but we consider them local). It was so much fun I’m opening this one up to Moron Nation in general.

Interested in meeting some of your fakey internet friends? We’d be delighted to meet you, too.
Come to our party, you lousy motherfuckers!
UPDATE BY SITE ADMINISTRATION: At the last moron meet-up in Connecticut, we encountered the resident marina hobo-pirate who partied with us until late at night, and seemed like a good guy. He and Rosetta really bonded.
So he was not strangled.
Big mistake. Now he thinks we’re pussies, he has a major attitude problem, and he’s considering coming to the next event.
Fuck You, AOSHQ Weenies! Especially that Wiserbud dork!!!

That’s Laura lounging in the background, by the way, but she asked me to crop her face and hump out of this picture. She’s actually quite attractive, if you like big-boned women.

Fruit flavored Tootsie Rolls are yummy. I had no idea. I would never have tried these.
Do this: savor a little piece of chocolate, then follow it with an orange flavored tootsie roll.
fuhgeddaboutit, it’s delicious
I would like to attend this gathering. But please don’t make me do shots. I’ll end up dancing with Dave or something.
Dave said he might be coming to this one, too.

don’t pick on Dave
*rude little shoulder-shove*
Shall we bring gifts of vodka, fruit pies and Simonize wax?
>> I’ll end up dancing with Dave or something.
Singin, dancin, driving into a car wash with the top down.
What? I ain’t got no convertible.
Monty just emailed that he was interested, too.
This could be another biggie.
I might come, if you promise another hobo to chew on.
(see what I did there?)
I’m going to try to make it.
Oh I’m not making fun of him. I’ve heard about his dancing prowess. I will be the one who looks like a fool.
She wuz gettin all up in wiserbud’s binness.
I may have to kneecap him.
What the fuck is this shit.
Shit. Rosetta’s here.
Everybody shut up and act natural.
*picks nose real casual-like*
>>Shit. Rosetta’s here
Backup hobo.
Count reminded me that this is when I am supposed to be having my knee surgery. I may can push it back to Oct.
OHAI
Just checked out Pirate Steve’s photo. Awesome!
Darryl is da man!
I miss out on all the fun. There’s no way I can explain to my hubby how much fun it would be for me to fly out there and meet all my fake internet moron friends.
I never saw the pirate photo.
Sobek,
look at comment 691 on the Yahoo Groups
I can’t get into the groups, I only get the e-mail.
Nice Deb, amen sista. Mr Kevlar is all like “what is this blog shit of which you speak?”
Comments 21 – 23, Sobek has a Tushar sandwich.
Again.
Aw come on ladies. You can come have fun. Bring your boys.
We’ll go easy on em.
Hmm…I’ll let you know after I find out how much it’s going to cost to fix my plumbing problems. (I STILL haven’t managed to get a plumber out here for an estimate. One’s coming on Thursday, supposedly.)
Nicedeb & Kevlarchick, you can certainly explain it to them. If I did it, so can you.
The first meetup in Boston was regarded *very* skeptically by the hubby but after that it was smoooooth sailing.
Because these people are wonderful and anybody can tell that when you meet them. We always have a good time.
It might help to have a local meetup first, just so he can get the idea of the thing. And of course, never everneverdoNOT let them read any of the overnight comments threads at AOSHQ. Or the daytime ones.
Nice Deb, amen sista. Mr Kevlar is all like “what is this blog shit of which you speak?”
Cathy was like that — “why are you wasting time with these blogs?”
To which my rejoinder was — “you’re staring at a screen too while you watch movies, but I can talk back and relate to people.”
Eventually, she tried it and got into it.
If Geoff doesn’t show up for the Sept. 12 meet-up, I’m thinking I’ll attend and tell everyone that I’m Geoff. Maybe I’ll find some chart groupies.
I’m counting on those of you who recognize me to cooperate.
Sounds great. To help with the subterfuge, I’ll hang out with you and have conversations about engineering and science fiction, just like I would with the real geoff.
>> Or the daytime ones
Or mine. At AoS. Or here.
Anywhere really. You don’t know me.
That’d be best I think.
Hey thanks, Peelie. But you will have to nod your head and make little exclamations like “Oh yes, so true,” while I babble nonsense.
Hmm, well, that is more or less the way I behave around geoff…
Does anyone want to pretend to be Sobek? I’ll cast adoring glances at you, and possibly make some risqué suggestions.
Damn is that my Bro? What the hell is he doing in CT?
>> Does anyone want to pretend to be Sobek?
No way I could carry off that suave demeanor.
>> Does anyone want to pretend to be Sobek?
An Apu accent more authentic than me is a pre-req.
ok if I’m going, I’m sure the wiserbuds won’t mind me crashing at their pad
If Geoff doesn’t show up for the Sept. 12 meet-up, I’m thinking I’ll attend and tell everyone that I’m Geoff.
I’m all yours.
To which my rejoinder was — “you’re staring at a screen too while you watch movies, but I can talk back and relate to people.”
Hah! That’s exactly how it was with me and pretty much the whole world
If Geoff doesn’t show up for the Sept. 12 meet-up, I’m thinking I’ll attend and tell everyone that I’m Geoff.
Will you be wearing a GRAPHic t-shirt?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! Dayum, I’s funny!!!
My missus refers to you all as, “MCPO’s imaginary friends”.
ok if I’m going, I’m sure the wiserbuds won’t mind me crashing at their pad
Well, we do have a pool and a pond.
KC has to show up. And wear nice shoes.
“this is gonna be GREAT”
/flounder
“this is gonna be GREAT”
Does you minds if we dance wif yo dates?
My advice to you is to start drink heavily.
I am tempted to come and bring the wife along. The question is: will the babies stay alright with gramps and granny, or will they kill the elders and destroy the house?
Ninja Sky or 8 feet in the air!
Wiser suggested a title of Hey! Watch where you put you paws, bitch!
Roadtrip.
Bear showing Zeke the back of his hand
Heeeeeey, you f*@ked up! You trusted us!
It’s not gonna be an orgy. It’s a Toga party.
OMG!! geoff got arrested!

I anticipate a deeply religious experience.
Ladies and gentlemen, I’ll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests – we did.

Wow, it got even more perfect. Who’da thunk?
And most recently of all, a “AoS Moron-Palooza” was held from which we have received more than two dozen reports of individual acts of perversion SO profound and disgusting that decorum prohibits listing them here.

They took the bar! The whole f@*king bar!
HAHAHAHAHA
badaBING!
*buuuurp* WHY NOT?
I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.
And we’re just the guys to do it.
he’s rolling
May I have ten thousand marbles, please?
I am tempted to come and bring the wife along.
Oh yeah. I’m going to dance with her. I don’t care if she doesn’t want to dance with me, I’ll use my patented “grab and drag” technique to get her to the dance floor.
It worked with Lauraw.
RAMMING SPEEEEEEED
I’ll use my patented “grab and drag” technique to get her to the dance floor.
By a interesting coincidence, it’s also how he got Cathy to the alter.
I won’t go schizo, will I?
By a interesting coincidence, it’s also how he got Cathy to the alter.
You know, for over three decades, people who know both me and Cathy have been asking me, “How the fuck did you pull that off?”
It’s kinda annoying.
>>Oh yeah. I’m going to dance with her.
You will have to bend over a lot. My wife is tiny.
It’s a distinct possibility.
You will have to bend over a lot.
Oh I’m sure he’s used to that.
You know, for over three decades, people who know both me and Cathy have been asking me, “How the fuck did you pull that off?”
I hear that all the time about Mrs. Wiserbud. Actually, it’s more like “Why the hell did you marry HIM?
Hey, guess what I am!!
..
..
..
A zit!!
My wife is tiny.
Lucky for you, huh? IYKWIS….
This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you’re gonna let it be the worst. “Ooh, we’re afraid to go with you Wiserbud, we might get in trouble.”
Well, just kiss my ass from now on!
>>Lucky for you, huh? IYKWIS….
I don’t know what you are saying, and I am afraid to ask.
Wiserbud’s right. Psychotic, but right. We gotta nail these bastards.
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
(I’m amazed it took this long to get to this one….)
You will have to bend over a lot. My wife is tiny.
A spinner!!!
Tushar, my good opinion of you just went way up.
Somebody needs to reconnoiter where we throw that pirate/hobo’s mutilated corpse into the water where it won’t be noticed for a few days.
Lauraw?
Bueller?
Are you guys seriously still hanging out with the random drunk pirate guy? Somehow, that makes the whole thing 100% more hilarious.
I feel as if he is a part of me now.
*burrrp*
Peel:
my brother and a fellow former Captain moved into a place in the Soulard area of STL . Their complex has an alley behind it with a unique melange of bums, crackheads, hipsters, douchebags, and trustfunders. He says the conversations with the bag lady who roots through their dumpster puts the Gladstone-Disraeli debates to shame.
Damn.
html Fail. My bad.
Here is Soulard.
http://www.soulard.org/about.php
I used to live right next to Soulard, in Tower Grove East.
^and we would go to the Soulard Market every Saturday morning. Was established in 1759.
Er… sorry. 1779.
THOUGHT I had recalled that it was before the revolution.
I was WRONG.
*make a note of that*
So, this is where you guys hang out.
Hey, don’t run away …
But seriously, folks: Does anyone know how I can get in touch with Wickepinto?
You will have to bend over a lot. My wife is tiny.
Wait. Wait. I might actually be taller than someone else there? Hell, I have to show now.
But seriously, folks: Does anyone know how I can get in touch with Wickepinto?
Leave a comment at Mrs. Peel’s. He doesn’t go by WP anymore, though. I’m not sure if the association of his old and new monikers is any kind of secret – anybody else know if giving them together is a problem?
Anyway, he visits Mrs. Peel’s nearly daily.
Well, just kiss my ass from now on!
The wiserspud mantra. Words to live by.
my patented “grab and drag” technique
Will you stop? What a crock. I took college biology courses. I know what chloroform smells like, you douchebag.
Hey now, I just put on too much aftershave. I was wiping it off with a handkerchief, that’s all.
That’s all.
I don’t think it’s a secret, geoff. Besides, anyone should be able to recognize his writing a mile off.
Anyway, you’re looking for Douglas, Steve.
I just had the most bizarre dream about going on the National Review cruise. Like, seriously bizarre. So bizarre that I don’t even want to give you the slightest hint of what happened in the dream for fear it will reveal horrible things about what goes on in my subconscious.
Thanks Geoff, and Mrs. Peel too.
Um, Mrs. Peel, what’s your URL? Sorry, can’t find it with Google.
Anyone?
http://mrspeel.wordpress.com/
Thanks, Dave.
Oops, sorry, Steve. I have my blog set to not be google-indexed since I am trying to keep people from getting to my blog other than through links from fellow morons. (I had a lot of weirdos show up on the old blogspot blog.) Click my name, or the link Dave provided.
No worries, Mrs. Peel. Completely understand your concerns. Thanks for letting me post. Miss you guys, actually. I no longer post at Ace’s place. Got tired of politics. I’ve retreated into my world of fantasy and fantasy fiction instead, venturing forth for the occasional pizza.
I don’t think it’s a secret, geoff. Besides, anyone should be able to recognize his writing a mile off.
Just thought he might be trying to start completely fresh.

…and that would differentiate you from the rest of the denizens how?
We would know she has TWO BRAINS.
I no longer post at Ace’s place.
Hardly any of us comment there any more, even though Dave and Laura write posts as cob-loggers.
Miss you guys, actually.
There’s more of the gang at The Hostages (“H2” in the blogroll on the sidebar). They are nearly politics-free. Actually they’re pretty much content-free. Actually there’s no sign of any thought there at all. So most of us stop by there a lot.
IB (this site) didn’t have a lot of politics, but they recently encouraged me to start posting here, so their political content went up a bit. But I’m not writing anything this week, so you’re safe for now.
Actually there’s no sign of any thought there at all.
HEY! WTF are you tal… Oh look! A squirrel!!
“Actually they’re pretty much content-free”?!
Wow, sounds like my kind of place, since I’m pretty content-free myself. I’ll see you there. And here. I think it’s safe to say that any comments I might post will be lacking in meaningful content, or even meaning. For sure, no politics. Homey don’t play that game no more.
Any-hoo, thanks for the info.
Just thought he might be trying to start completely fresh.
Yeah, we really should have given Steve a little more of the back story. Steve, the slaying of the WP persona came after a few weeks of high drama over at the old Hostages site. Long story, and I don’t know all of it, but basically, the fallout was that the Hostages moved over to H2 and Doug deleted the original site, and then announced at various places that Wickedpinto was dead and he was just going to be himself. So, don’t call him Wickedpinto – he’s going by Doug now. He still writes long stream-of-consciousness rants (hence my remark that you can recognize his comments a mile off), but has really toned down the vulgarity. At least at my place, anyway.
If you’re still looking for politics & news shit, there’s my place too.
Mrs. Peel:
Thanks for the update. I’m not surprised–Doug seemed to have been signaling well in advance of his slaying Wickedpinto that he was uncomfortable with that persona. Glad to hear he’s being himself. That’s a good thing, IMO.
As for a meetup, I’ll try and get there again. Gonna be a tough one, but I’m gonna try. We’ve really got to do a Keystone moron meetup.
He can kill any thread, spell-check does despi-i-seAnd he can break any bitch with his massive white thighsAnd he only reveals what you don’t want to seeHe calls himself “Doug” but he’ll always be Pinto to me
Dammit. What happened to my line breaks?
*kicks HTML in the junque*
Pupster does his Billy Joel tribute! Very nice!
Thank you, LauraW for the invite. I would so love to make it to one of these (if only to prove to ya’ll that I am not so ploverish in person) but our summer is slammed. Hope a good time will be had by all and that the natural hobo population has sufficient time to recover. Mrs. Peel, I’m guessing your dreams involve Jonah, K-Lo, a pound or two of back bacon, and some melted candle wax. It’s ok, tame in comparison to the moronosphere’s kinks and perversions? toodles
wait a minute.
who the hell did we kill then?

And I’m confused. You mean the guy holding the card isn’t Mesa?
I just saw the update.
Thanks for the compliment, Michael.
Agastya and Atharvan are way too sweet to give Tushar’s parents any trouble.
Actually, now that I think about it, they kept calling me “Caca.”
They have their father’s subtle wit.
Caca is Apu-speak for Uncle*.
No relation to Macaca.
*In India, elders get respect. Every grown up, including your father’s friends, have to be addressed as ‘Uncle’. Kinda like how kids used to address adults as Mister once upon a time in America.
Caca is Apu-speak for Uncle*.
[snicker] Good one, Tushar. Now tell him that “shithead” means “honored elder.”
I call Michael “taint licker” which is Hebrew for ‘mighty lawyer’.
Hey Brew, I saw you showing off your Vietnamese earlier.
It looked rather impressive, I must say, although I suppose you were just asking her for a blowjob.

I just thanked her for visiting us. Now, maybe 30 years ago…
“In India, elders get respect.”
I’m not that eld.
>>I’m not that eld.
For a 2 year old, you are.
Once again let’s just ignore the middle of the country. Whatever, it’s not like I really want to meet any of y’all anyway. 😉

Wait, you’re in CO right? Haven’t been to CO in a while. Hmmm.
Once again let’s just ignore the middle of the country. Whatever, it’s not like I really want to meet any of y’all anyway.
Not fair! Dallas is in the middle of the country, and you were invited to the IBMMP.
Dude, pull out a map for me and double check, Dallas is not in the middle of the country. It’s at the bottom.
It’s at the bottom.
…also known as the butt.
Hahahaha, Michael lives in the butt.
Hahahaha, Michael lives in the butt.
No, the butt is actually Houston.
I thought that was the butthole. No?
*looks around for Sohos*
You are correct, TI.
Haha.
And my point stands, not the middle of the country.
If you’re flying, hubs are the middle of the country. Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, St. Louis and Phoenix.
Also Denver. I think United runs a lot of flights through there.
And hey, I’m going to get to fly into John Murtha Airport again soon!
There’s a reason we call him the Prince of Pork.
I was reading something the other day that referred to “the airport that used to be known as National Airport.” Isn’t that…Reagan Airport? What, do you hate Reagan so much you can’t even use the name of the airport?
(Although, hardly anyone in Houston calls IAH “Bush”…we all call it Intercontinental. Usually, the only people who call it Bush are from out of town. I don’t think that’s a Bush-hating thing…maybe just a force of habit? So perhaps that was the same thing. Except that the speaker and writer weren’t DC natives.)
I flew into it so many times back before it became Reagan National that I still call it National. So perhaps you’re right, depends on the context I suppose.
I’ll bet Michael still says “Idlewild” instead of “JFK”.
Car 54 where are you?
52 Skidoo
Drat! Too far. Try Dallas next time.
Darn it, wish I were in CT. Anything like this happening in eternally left-wing DC?
There’s a hold-up in the Bronx, Brooklyn’s broken out in fights. There’s a traffic jam in Harlem, that’s backed up to Jackson Heights. There’s a scout troop, short a child; Khrushchev’s due at Idlewild! CAR 54 – Where Are You ?
Heh.
Darn it, wish I were in CT.
*staring at screen in stunned silence*
I probably can’t make this one…that plumbing repair is going to run me $7-8k, and insurance won’t cover it 😦
I haven’t figured out how best to finance the plumbing repair yet. I have the cash, of course, but that would use up most of my rainy day funds, and replenishing them would take a LONG time. I don’t want to take a loan if I can possibly avoid it because I don’t like paying interest. I thought of a way to avoid paying interest, but it’s somewhat risky, would leave me with deplenished funds for a while, and might take longer to get me back in the black than a loan. decisions, decisions…
Ah, the joy of being a homeowner.
Sorry we won’t see you in September. We WILL be having more of these, of course. Though this will be the last one in relatively warm weather for a while. If we hold to our two-three month schedule, next one will be in November…BRRRRR.
Keep an eye on the board for next Spring!
I would definitely avoid depleting your cash until the economy is happy once again. Home equity loan is probably the right choice, but if you’re going to bother with that, you should add in whatever else you might want done.
Wrote a kind of longish post, but it seemed kind of self-indulgent so I put it up at my old place. I was carrying on about how the defining difference between liberals and conservatives is a sense of destiny.*
Again.
Sorry to hear about the plumbing pain dearie. That just plain sucks. I’m with Geoff, finance it at a low rate and think about some other upgrades you’ve had in mind, roll it in.
November in CT? Hmmm…
Well, the deer flies won’t be messing with ya.
*goes off to read Geoff’s post, which I’M SURE YOU SHOULD HAVE POSTED HERE CAUSE YOUR STUFF IS GOOD*
I probably can’t make this one…that plumbing repair is going to run me $7-8k, and insurance won’t cover it
Alternatively, Dave and I can come over to fix it. When we’re done it’ll probably cost $10- $15K for repairs, but insurance will probably cover it.
Geoff charts it and Dave shoots it.
What could go wrong?
BRAAM BRAAM BRUM BRUM BRUMMM BUBRUUUHHHM
Chainsaws are cute but they are no substitute for TNT-induced precision plumbing repair.
FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!!
The stuff’s good for fishing, too.
I hear.
