Washington, D.C. TT meeting

“Well, you know what they say...

Whack-the-lul-dee-rah, and all that.”

“Hey this is a family board. Whack the lul-dee-rah somewhere else...”

“Just finally got power back on here in Woodlawn (Balto Co) about an hour ago ,it had been out since thursday night. I too lost all the food in my fridge and freezer ,and seeing as how I REALLY likes my food ,that aint good!! lol At least Im on high ground here so flooding hasnt been much of a problem except for some basements. Grocery stores lost thousands of dollars worth of perishable foods around here ,I hope that dont mean prices are going up!! I hope every body made out ok !! Streamweaver”

“what if we get there, and they're out of Guinness? moooooaahaahaahaahaa!!”

“The great thing about Guiness is that it really doesn't need to be chilled...”

“Huh?

We can go to a gay bar if they are out of Guinness.”

“SCORE!!”

“Note to self: Call Dubliner and remind them to stock up on Guiness for the end of the week.”

“Streamweaver, DANG !

We are still in the dark in Rogers Forge(Towson).

Run out of Guinness?
I don't think so!”

“Saturday morning (5 AM)I escaped Baltimore and the storm damage and the hysteria surrounding it by driving down to Blacksburg to visit my son at VaTech. The drive was beautiful....fall is in the air for sure.

He was at the VaTech-Texas A&M game Thursday night in the storm wearing a T-shirt.

We had a blast. We found a place in town that had great wings, lots of college football games on TV and cold beer. Local micro-brew, 22oz for $2.50. He showed me his architecture studio and we played racket ball ( I tried ...he beat my ass)

We spent the night up in the Jefferson NF sitting around a fire and sleeping under the stars listening to owls.

Now I'm back to the "devastation" and the power is still out except not at home....never went out. School's out though...Yahoo!!!”

“The cost to replace spoiled food caused by the power outage may be covered under your homeowner's or renter's insurance. Mine was covered. Of course, you have to consider your deductible.”

“Cool trip report!

Are you joining us in D.C.?”

“Uh, JO, that is?”

“Three more days!

Then I can give lyra a lesson on Southern style power drinking until she passes out.”

“ok Chili, but that means no drinking anything that ends in the word "lite" ;o)”

“Miller Lite is just training beer.

I mean look at it this way...

You don't run 35 miles a day to prepare for a marathon, now do ya?”

“Be sure to ask the barman (quietly) if he's got any "po-cheen".”

“Is that "prot whiskey"?”

“Po-cheen? Isn't that a kind of home brew made from potatoes?

I can remember one of my clients talking about how they made "pocheen" in prison.”

“Rules for The Dubliner;

1.Don't wear orange
2.Ask for Cathlic whiskey only
3.Don't let on that yo-nami is a Brit”

“Don't wear orange! WTF? I was planning on wearing my UT shirt.

What kind of dive is this place?”

“Ever heard of Orangemen?

They march through the catholic neighborhoods every year in Northern Ireland to show the RC's who's boss.”

“There wasn't a Irishman in there last time I was there TT. It's really not an issue any more :o)”

“Chili, it would be worse than wearing Orange and sitting in the 'Bama student section during the Alabama-Tennessee game...

Green is good though.”

“Just kiddin', you guys!

That whole conflict gets filed under the "rat's ass" category for me.”

“chili....UT is a great team, but sheesh, you guys must have been at the end of the line when they were handing out school colors. Or drinking too much moonshine, or ____-lite.

:)

Is Smokey coming along?”

“JO, you going?”

“Just make sure you guys post some pictures of this event! Mug shots will do...”

“Let's see that we don't get our cars impounded like those nitwits did in New York.”

“Yes, I think that I can make it.
5 PM right?

Smokey is the UT mascot, a big, floppy earred hound of some kind.
( am I right chili?)”

“Yes!

5 PM is when we will blow in there.

We will try to get to D.C. by 4:00 before traffic gets REAL ugly.”

“I might take the subway to avoid that stuff.”

“To Be Sure... Poteen ("po-cheen") IS Irish moonshine, <G>. It's Gaelic, wouldn't you know.

William of Orange (in this politically charged atmosphere, perhaps you'd like to pick your own link, LOL)


Be sure to round up all the Clemson and Florida fans that you can.”

“Thanks for putting it in perspective, bitpusher, I can fully understand that analogy.

Jo, smoky is a blue tick hound; and I personally think the Orange and White is much better than what I have seen Oregon wearing this year. When they played Mississippi State, you could see a neon haze on the horizon from 250 miles away. Where did they get those uniforms? A company that processes nuclear waste?

Ok, I will wear a company shirt, teal in color. It is as close to green as I can get.”

“ooh yeah, I forgot about those god awful things that Oregon's wearing.”

“good news! i just found out that the Dubliner is now a gay bar!”

“Ha Ha! Buggery at the Dubliner!”

“Let's see that we don't get our cars impounded like those nitwits did in New York."
Tom Terrific
10:05:00 AM


Whoa, Whoa, Whoa! WTF!!”

“That's OK, Tom will get his when he runs into the huge, gay, Irish bouncer.”

“Actually, I wish we could drive down for this one. But, send pics of this motley crowd and that British dude and the monkey mama and all the rest of youse!”

“Aero, you da man!”

“Ok, I want to see pictures of Tom being thrown out on his ear arguing with the huge, gay bouncer, Lyra and Ynami lining up shots on Chili's passed out body, while the rest of the crowd dances around them...”

“Better brush up on your show tunes, kids, for when you're singing around the piano bar!”

“Give Ireland back to the Irish
Give Lapland back to the laps
Give Ireland back to the Irish
and Yoko back to the Japs...”

“show tunes, LOL!! hopefully we'll get into some nice political discussions.”

“political???? wtf??? I want to talk about hooters.”

“oh, even better.”

“I will be there in about an hour.”

“cool, me too! :-) you know how to get there okay?”

“Yep,, about F and Capitol”
