Only the hardiest of lushes need apply. Who knows, we might get a break in the weather and be able to sit outside.

Anyway, if you're new and want to know what this is all about, ask someone or read an old thread. Or show up; how bad could it be?

I'm not a lush, but I'm pretty hardy...har-har. IN!

So let me just say that I'm retarded.  Now I understand that you all have been privy to this information for some time now, but it is a shock to me.  I've always considered myself right in the meaty part of the bell curve when it comes to smarts--not dumb enough to eat paint, not smart enough to be a threat.  Well, tonight I wore wet leather gloves home.  And let me just say that something that feels unpleasant chilly at 20 mph as I tooled through downtown became my own, personal pair of freezing torture devices at 80 mph going over the bridge. Yes, I did try slowing down--apparently the difference between 50 and 80 means nothing to wet leather gloves.  I tried exercises--didn't help.  I went to my "happy places" (I have of them) to no avail. I couldn't get my fingers to work for several minutes--which meant that I had to walk around a little while with my helmet on because I couldn't get the strap off.  My fingers were bright purple (wtf) when I finally started getting some feeling back into them and they still don't feel right. 

So let me just say the following: Dress warmly and keep dry.  And don't wear your wet sh!t on a cold night unless you want to sit at the "special table" with me. 

Ya, wet leather, not so comfy.

Alpinestars Drystar gloves - 40 bucks, and pretty damn good

Noooooo...what makes me retarded is that I have a nice pair of winter gloves.  Left them safely at home of course.   [roll]

You're not retarded.  The weather report said it was gonna be sunny today. 

No, I AM retarded.  It was raining when I left my house. 

Yeah, but you had no idea that it was going to be WET rain. 

Exactly.  Or that it might be cold in winter.  


I bet I could run a drill into the middle of my forehead and not have it make one damned bit of difference in my daily life--maybe I'd forget how to spell spaghetti or something...maybe grandma's birthday...but honestly, I'm operating on maybe 2.3% of my gray matter.  The rest is just takin' up space.  

One of the signs of the apocalypse:

Spidey arguing with 'Belle that she is *not* retarded.

wait so if it's the apocalypse are we still on for ZG?
Whatever.
In. 

isn't it written in revelations that the four horsemen will meet @ ZG prior to laying waste to the earth?  [evil]

Sadly, I am out.  I have to go to a holiday party for Beckie's company.

Yes....  they know the holidays were last month.

Rainy, muddy, smelly winter Zeitgeist nights are the best [thumbsup] I will do my best to make the scene.

Picked up a bug over the weekend.  Hopefully am feeling well enough to make it this week.  Enzo has a series of deadlines for work, so he's on the fence as well.   :P

dagnabit.

G-friends parents will be in town. Nice folks, bad timing.
I may swing by for a quick beer. That's all I can do i think.

Riding in monsoon weather with wet gloves will do that to ya.

p'shaw.... I'm already on the road to recovery.  Went into work today on the bike.  NOTHING CAN TOUCH ME!!!!  (knock on wood)  That said, it's highly likely that I'll be joining you hosers thursday eve. 

Yayyy!

Bumpitty fackin bump! Almost time.

I think you wrote that yourself. No need to give John the credit for it.


It's rainy Thursday night here in Tucson as well and these hosers don't even have a ZG night. Or any other kind of night aparently. The only cool guy here is djrashonal who was kind enough to lend me his S4, No questions asked.  [thumbsup]
A shout out to him.

Spidey has the plague.  Hope y'all have fun.   [drink]

A few of us made it out.  Zeitgeist was blissfully quiet.  I love the winter meets there.   [beer]

Spawning your own larva will do that. Hope you feel better soon. I hear bourbon works well.

Sick sick sick. :( Next time

No kidding.  I don't buy most of the other arguments for not having kids, but this winter-sickness-picking-up-bugs-from-daycare bullshit has gone on for two months now and I'm f'n sick of it (no pun intended).   [bang] 

then stop stalking the milfs @ daycare centers  [evil]

Pshaw.  If just stalking someone could get you sick, I never woulda made it through college. 

perhaps, but back when you were in college there were fewer bugs around  [evil]

I think you're the only one around here who's attendance at university might have predated the virus, John.
