Mlogger Beatup

Yesserday ewening a bunch of us blogger guys and one of our wives (the cutest one *grin*) fell tempestuously upon Timers South. Amidst the street signs, crusty eggs, chicken gizzard blizzards, eurythmics, and sinking cue balls — I scratched like 6 times. Dane scratched once, one out of 3 balls he sunk that evening, another being the 8, and Jake's scratch heard 'round the world — a fairly geeky time was had.

The participants were: me, Darla, Jon, Jake, Dane, and betterlatethannevver Barney. Simone couldn't make it due to a terrible feline tragedy. Spencer couldn't make it due to an acute case of having better things to do.

Some things I've learned from this night:


  • Chris, who didn't show up, is very tall.

  • Somebody's wife (no not Darla :P) allegedly thinks that Jake looks handsome in his bulletin photo. (I'm not a gossip monger, I'ma journalist! hehe)

  • Jon is a pool shark who likes to claim that the people he beats are pool sharks.

  • Dane is capable of damaging pool tables while entirely missing the cue ball. This may have been a valiantly orchestrated effort to keep me from looking so horrible.

  • When you plunk down $12 for you and your wife to have a bite to eat (quite good fair I might add) and your friends at the table get hungry and order chicken gizzard baskets, you don't get a commission on the sale.

  • Jake is a teetotaler, and like many of them doesn't know who Kerrek is. (click the name in the scripty font when SB types it)

  • Dane dislikes the Eurythmics and Tears for Fears.

  • Jon owns no ibook and rightly would prefer not to :)

Twas fun. Sorry late, got held up by a pervert sheriff's deputy. So to speak...

I just have one request for future meeting spots. Smoke-free, PLEASE. Fortunately, since I was only there about an hour, I didn't arrive home to my smoke-sensitive sweetheart in need of immediate fumigation/delousing;-)

And remember what happens when you eat "downer eggs"....
