Forum meet up

[Blinkie]

After a talk with Blonsk, we have decided we will plan a forum meet up. The dates and places are undecided. We need to know who is on board first. You know, so we can book places and crap like that. We have set some ground rules. Here they are...


1. Dress code- you must wear a name tag with your forum name on it, a mask with your avy on it, and a belt with green squares.

2. Instead of talking, we will have a dry erase board and we will all have markers for it.

3. If you do talk, make sure you don't do it twice in a row, or you will be given an infraction.

4. Wardrobe malfunctions outside of the NSFW room will cause you to be kicked out of the party.

5. No smug bastards. (Lachry)

6. If you are usually invisible, you must wear a black sheet. Unless you have an invisibility cloak. Then you may wear that instead.

7. If you want to talk privately with someone, please pass notes.

These are just the rules we have so far. If you have any suggestions, feel free to tell us and we will decide. We appreciate your help and cooperation.

[OnandOn]

Excellent. I'm in.

Will we have picture cards with the smileys on, or will we have to draw them? You know I like my smileys...

[Rocco]

Excellent. I'm in.

Will we have picture cards with the smileys on, or will we have to draw them? You know I like my smileys...

I would say cards.

['-']

Are we serious, or jokes?

[Rocco]

Are we serious, or jokes?

100% serious.

[Awesomeoh]

I am an assclown who needs to learn how to post better.

[Lachrymose]

This thread is made of fail.

Dude, this is seriously one of the best threads ever.

[<Enjoy-Incubus>]

This thread is made of fail.

You fail to see humor in this?

[Nitsud]

I'm in

[salsa_shark]

fuckin...i am SO in

['-']

Lets all go to Chicago!

[Nitsud]

We can all meet at my house.

[OnandOn]

This forum logs me out quite regularly.

At this meet up, Lachy will have to physically throw me out of the room at regular intervals and lock the door.

I will then bust my way back in and hunt around the room for new posts.

[Blinkie]

So, in all seriousness, if we really were to have a meet up, who would want to come? Some of us are really planning one, and it helps to know who wants to come and when is a good time for it. So...who's in?

[G-T]

I would..but I might have to wait a couple of years.

[Blinkie]

K well, tentative dates are late 07 or sometime in 08.

[Mr. Blonde]

K well, tentative dates are late 07 or sometime in 08.

I might be able to make it if it was 08.

[Doc]

Who wants to meet in Florida or Texas? Anyone but Lachrymose.

[Nitsud]

As long as it's after next month, and in mid america, such as indiana or ohio or illinoise, you know, around there, michigan something... I'll be there.

[Doc]

Haha, your all liars.

[troxy18]

I would say sometime next summer at least, I am kind of busy until then

[Blinkie]

Here is something else we just thought about, if it is a cold season, let's go to a warm place. If it's a warm season, lets not go too far south.

[-HLK-]

Maybe if you make the meet up a couple blocks from my house...

I'd think about it.

:p

[Lachrymose]

Who wants to meet in Florida or Texas? Anyone but Lachrymose.

:cry:

I am adding my post it Roccos because he does not seem to know how to post.


I say we go to some kickass city, like NYC or LA.

~b

[ʞɔɐɾʎqloɔǝɥʇ]

You can all come to my house. I'll have my mom make us some hot wings if Rocco is willing to bring the beer. Blonsk can be the stripper.

[TDD]

Why don't you all take a trip to good ol' Canada? We can all meet in Toronto.

[FrozenMonkey]

I'll go if it's in Baton Rouge.

C'mon, you know you are way too cold right now.

[JayEmBee]

Depending on where, I'd be down.

[HesterTheGod]

I vote Omaha. I am on a tight budget, its in the middle of America (LOL@'NUCKS), and I'm lazy.

[Nitsud]

I vote indiana lol.

[Ebolarama]

I vote indiana lol.

seconded



and now a random picture

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c188/Odinskind/FunnyBaby.gif

[JayEmBee]

I vote somewhere on the east coast.

Reason being:
- It's easier for me, so why wouldn't I?
- At least 4 of us (that I know of) are already here.
- We have badass cities like Philadelphia, New York, and Boston in which we could partay.

Indiana has corn.

[HesterTheGod]

So does Nebraska. And cattle.

[OnandOn]

Clearly you all need to broaden your horizons.

I say the North of England.

[Blinkie]

I said Canada (to Lachry) because then you all can drink.

I don't think we really need to decide where yet. We need to know who wants to come (regardless of where) first, and then those people will have a say in it. If it ends up being near someone who only wants to go if it is near them then they can go as well.

Also, this is not going to be for a year or more so most people will have a chance to save up some money first.

[Orion]

i wonder how many of us would end up in jail for doing some dumb drunk shit????...jmb, i'm looking in your direction....:whistle:
here's the deal, if i get arrested, you bail me out, and if you get arrested, i'll come visit you every month..:frog:

[Ebolarama]

If its atleast a year from now I could quite possibly go.

I'll be in college etc.

[JayEmBee]

Haha, me? Do something stupid? NOOOOO... :rolleyes:

[Rocco]

I vote oklahoma, here is why. there is nothing to do there. With nothing to do the orgy will last longer.

[Blinkie]

So that's what then 3 minutes of our day instead of only 2?

[Rocco]

So that's what then 3 minutes of our day instead of only 2?

3?? you are being very very nice to rich there.


Lets have it at whoever has the biggest house. it can be a huge sleep over.

[Blinkie]

I was looking at a 7 bedroom 3 bath. Do you think that would win? Maybe I'll have to buy it so we can do it there.

[Rocco]

that would have me beat.

[-HLK-]

I would think the less bedrooms we had, the more fun there would be.. ;)

Either that or we can all sleep in the living room in our sleeping bags and footie pajamas!

[Ebolarama]

don't give a fuck....salsa and i are sharing a sleeping bag

[-HLK-]

don't give a fuck....salsa and i are sharing a sleeping bag

That would be for the lady to decide which creepy internet guy she wants to share a sleeping bag with...

It's me, right sugarlips? ;)

[Rocco]

I have it figured out. I have three bedrooms. Guys in one room, Girls in mine with me and Rich in the thrid.

[Nitsud]

don't give a fuck....salsa, sodax and i are sharing a sleeping bag

deal.

[<Enjoy-Incubus>]

I have it figured out. I have three bedrooms. Guys in one room, Girls in mine with me and Rich in the thrid.

I knew you guys were secret lovers! :bugeyed:

[Rocco]

I knew you guys were secret lovers! :bugeyed:

Secret? I thought everyone knew. :rolleyes:

[<Enjoy-Incubus>]

Well, maybe it's just my thickness coming through again, or the fact that I always hear things last.

[Rocco]

Ok, anyways, you were reading that wrong, the guys in one room, me and the girls in my room and rich in the third room.

[Mr. Blonde]

Well, maybe it's just my thickness coming through again, or the fact that I always hear things last.

Speaking of hearing things last, Blinkie's leaving you for me. Sorry dude.

[<Enjoy-Incubus>]

Well at least you will fulfill one of her fantasies, being an aussie. It's just to bad that you are as young as you are. If you had on leather pants though she just might change her mind.

[JayEmBee]

It's obvious that salsa would much rather be creeped out by me...

[Teefus]

It's obvious that salsa would much rather be creeped out by me...

I'm gonna go find her house next week.

[salsa_shark]

I'm gonna go find her house next week.
Creepy post is creeeeeeeeeeeeeepy.

ETA: And the person I'll share a sleeping bag with knows who he is. :burst:

[Nitsud]

lol

This does not make it better. There was a reason Rich reset the forum.

[HesterTheGod]

;)

Hah, nice try!

[FrozenMonkey]

I'm gonna go find her house next week.

Don't try it, we already have 3 people sitting outside of her house right now, and the window is getting crowded.

Not to mention, it's hard for me to type this right now because the only place I can steal her neighbors wireless internet is under the house.

[Teefus]

Silly monkey. I'm trained to infiltrate. You can keep your spot outside the window. I am going to need witnesses to vouch, afterall.:D

[capeskim]

When I first started reading this thread I was pumped.

At the end I was even more pumped.

Bravo.

[Blinkie]

After some talking, we were think Cedar Point sometime in the spring/summer.

Anyone want to?

[Teefus]

After some talking, we were think Cedar Point sometime in the spring/summer.

Anyone want to?

Isn't that in Ohio? The amusement park?

If so, I'd be able to it in like the first half of June or on just about any weekend in spring.

Other than that I have to be out on Colorado anytime I'm not in school.

Just checked up on it: barring drill weekends (which I'll know for the next year after this weekend), I'd be able to do any weekend in March, April, or May except for March 16-24 or the last weekend of May.

Then I could stay a few days after the term ends on June 5, but I have to go home for the summer.

I know I'm about 2 hours from Cedar Point, but if anyone wants to save a little money, I have 2 spare mattresses wide enough for 1 each (2 if you're a cuddler) here and my van will make the drive acceptably comfortable.

[Blinkie]

Yes, that's where we were thinking. A few people still have a way to travel...like ours is like 10 hours. But it's near a bunch of you. We are thinking maybe a day there, a night out and then another day and that's it. So about a weekend. I have no ideas on the actual dates.

[Teefus]

Well I'm game.

And if people want to take me up on the offer to stay here, it'll give me good reason to actually get some shit hung on my walls.

[G-T]

After some talking, we were think Cedar Point sometime in the spring/summer.

Anyone want to?

I would cause I live right by there, but I dunno maybe if I have a car by then.

[Blinkie]

If not, maybe someone could give you a lift. I *think* a bunch of people live within a few hours of there. I don't know where you are though.

[ʞɔɐɾʎqloɔǝɥʇ]

I'm down.

[crooked]

k cool just paypal me my plane fare

[Teefus]

I would cause I live right by there, but I dunno maybe if I have a car by then.

My van seats 7, dude. I got ya covered.

[Barrett]

I'll be up for it, as long as i get my g2 (in march) by then, so i can make the drive down there. Just wait for all the creative ways i come up with to smuggle a few joints across the border.

About 2 hours, 25 minutes directly south of it. I'm afraid I'd be that much further out of your way.

I lol'd.

It's about a 3.5-4 hour drive from here. Not bad at all.

[Mr. Blonde]

That would mean we would actually see what you look like!!1!


unless you wear a bag all the time (like saint's fans lolz).

I've already seen what he looks like! Har-har!

Anyway, I'd do it, but it'd take me around 24+ hours to fly there, and my arms tire easily.

[Nitsud]

I live about 5 hours from there.

[Lachrymose]

Total Est. Time: 6 hours, 35 minutes Total Est. Distance: 376.68 miles



About the same here. But I iz down.

Bad ass place though, last time I went the power went out from the heat.

Great, you could ride with Blonsk.

lol if you take the peace bridge and go around the lake the other way you're in prime position to pick my ass up...

lol yew better do it

[Awesomeoh]

Buy mah plane ticket and I'm thar.

[Barrett]

lol if you take the peace bridge and go around the lake the other way you're in prime position to pick my ass up...

lol yew better do it

Sounds good. We'll work out the details when we get closer to the date, which hasn't even been confirmd yet.

EDIT: I need to check if a G2 driver from ontario can cross the border.

EDIT2: I found no evidence saying i cant cross the border with a G2 license. We're in business.

[TDD]

Yeah, with a G2 you can cross the border. My brother did.
I'd be up to go and I know I could mooch a ride off Barrett, but my parents wouldn't let me go. I think it's the whole taking a ride with someone I met on the internet to go meet people I've met on the internet.

[G-T]

Don't be afraid, we've got candy!

[Barrett]

Just say you joined a witness protection agency, and i'm an undercover mountie, escorting you to ohio till the heat blows over

[TDD]

If I came I could bring some kickin' tunes.
You know, the usual;
Some metal, some punk, some ska, maybe speedcore...

[Barrett]

theres one stipulation in my vehicle...the music must make my ears bleed.

[Teefus]

Rule in my vehicle: driver picks the music.

[ʞɔɐɾʎqloɔǝɥʇ]

When presented with the privelege of being in my presents, the following music is prohibited from being amplified louder than the maximum volume of a set of generic headphones:
Rap
Metal
Country
Gospel

Oh boy. I could do that. Ever heard of the band Revenge?

I've already seen what he looks like! Har-har!

Anyway, I'd do it, but it'd take me around 24+ hours to fly there, and my arms tire easily.

Haha

10omglols

[<Enjoy-Incubus>]

I'm not driving. I'll walk.

[Spank666]

Rule in my vehicle: the radio almost always stays off. If the sound of the engine alone isnt good enough for you, feel free to exit the vehicle at any time. If you as much as look at the radio in a fashion I dont like, you will be ejected from the vehicle.

[Rocco]

I am down.

[<Enjoy-Incubus>]

....down south

[Ebolarama]

If Barret goes by the Peace Bridge he might as well pick me up in Erie too (assuming I'm still at school)

[Barrett]

Oh boy. I could do that. Ever heard of the band Revenge?

no

[Blinkie]

Ok. After more thinking...what about late summer/fall instead. It sucks because it's further away but I think more people can go then. Thoughts?

[Spank666]

If I'm around, I'd show up. Late summer to fall is a pretty vague time for me, so I could be in MI (before the last week of September), MD (last week of September through first week of October), or OH (second week of October) depending on the date.

[Teefus]

I'll be in Colorado between June and the first half of September.

[Blinkie]

So october would be ideal for you two...but are they closed at that point?

I'm just trying to figure the best time for the most people. I believe tcj said he can't until after the end of May. Blonsk can't until July. I know there were more but I can't remember, and I don't feel like looking. Maybe I should make a poll in a new thread...or someone else should.

[Spank666]

but are they closed at that point?

They? Is the plan Cedar Point? (I dont feel like reading the thread.)

[Blinkie]

I think that's the plan. I like the idea of NYC but it's expensive and some people *cough*Rich*cough* don't like the idea.

[G-T]

No. Cedar point has hallo weekends and stuff but after that they will be closed.

[Blinkie]

so they are open in some of october or only weekends?

[G-T]

so they are open in some of october or only weekends?

I don't know what exact date it ends but you can probably find the schedules, here (http://www.cedarpoint.com).

[Blinkie]

Yep. It looks like it would have to either be in August at the latest or it would have to be over the weekend.

[Teefus]

Yep. It looks like it would have to either be in August at the latest or it would have to be over the weekend.

Like I said, I can't make it unless it's before the first week of June or after September 21, and at that the first weekend of each month is always drill weekend unless it's a national holiday.

Apparently, their Halloweekends are pretty awesome though.

[Rocco]

I vote we have it after the first week in june or before sept 21st

[TDD]

I vote we do it in Toronto Ontario.

[G-T]

I vote we do it in Toronto Ontario.

What are we going to do there. Extract maple syrup?

[TDD]

What are we going to do there. Extract maple syrup?
You can go on the worlds tallest free standing structure, among other things.
Oh yeah, and I could participate.

And you can't extract maple syrup from trees during the summer. Winter only.

And when you "tap" trees (that's what it's called) maple syrup doesn't come out. It's a sugary water. You need to boil that down to make maple syrup.

rofl you know about syrup

[Blinkie]

I knew all that too. I've actually helped make it.

Also, I'm good with Canada. AND everyone can drink in Canada. Their money is worth more than ours now though.

[FrozenMonkey]

Come sweat your asses off in Louisiana!

[Blinkie]

Go be Frozen in Canadia.

PS you can all come to VT and get married.

[Rocco]

Come to Oklahoma and we can... ummm we can go see.... ummm we can....... ummmm.......... post on the forums?

[Spank666]

I knew all that too. I've actually helped make it.

Keep in mind, everyone will need passports after June(?) 2008.

[Rocco]

Keep in mind, everyone will need passports after June(?) 2008.

I got one, thats everyone who matters. :heeeelllllooooo:

[Blinkie]

Will we need passports or the true id thing?

Either way...I'm game

I can't do Canada, unfortunately.

I have to somehow convince my parents that going to visit old friends in St. Louis is an ok thing to do when I drive through there twice a year anyway.

I'm still trying to justify a trip back to Tampa to visit friends down there.

how old are you?

[Blinkie]

Yeah really?

[Teefus]

I'm still a dependent, they're paying for my school and they hold the lease on my van.

So I'm pretty much at their mercy for at least another year or so.

[Blinkie]

I'm sorry...but I can't help but laugh. You are a soldier...I just can't even wrap my mind around this.

edit:

Don't you get a GI Bill?

edit 2: you have a lease on the van?

Yeah, I get GI Bill, but the army only pays me reserve duty, not active.

So where active soldiers get over $1000 a month at an E1 paygrade, I as an E4 on reserve duty only get just under $200 a month in base pay.



My dad got the lease on the van...I don't know why except that in 2 more years I have the option of just having ownership turned over to me or I can trade it in for a brand new one to keep as mine.

[Blinkie]

I see.

I didn't know that about the reserve. That's why I asked.

I'm not trying to be a bitch...I just find it kind of ironic. You are a soldier...you fight for freedom...and yours is so limited.

Yeah, I signed some freedoms away. I'm in the business of defending democracy, not practicing it, as they say.

I think she means just with the parents.

[Blinkie]

I did.

[Teefus]

Oh.


I'm going to sorrowfully strum my guitar...:(

[Blinkie]

lol.

Make sure it's ok with your parents first.

Sorry. My bad. couldn't resist.

[Rocco]

Burn!

[Teefus]

That actually has more to do with my dad going to Iraq and him wanting my mom to be by herself as little as possible through the next year, so anytime I'm not actually in school, he's expecting me to be out there with her.

[Blinkie]

So bring your mom. GT will entertain her.

Besides..if it was only a few days...or during the times when you were actually able to...
