It just wouldn't be home without this thread...  be::

the DMF never would have guess it.   be::

This calls for a drink! dr::

Vodka shots?

Sure!

I'll pour.

this one sure came back fast

Would you expect anything less from these fools?  :e:v

How do we make it sticky at top like last time?

Mother.... make magic happen.

MMMM... beer..... and boobies!!  We need a sassy's drinking night!!vv dr::

I'll try

I agree!

How did we get desmosome to agree to this?  Sacre blu!!!  The impossible has occurred!  We must be at Ludicrous Speed!

I heart Sassy's:

piss on the other board, this one has beer guys on it.  dr::

But no boobie guy :bang

I dunno.... you fit the bill.

Hey!  I'm gonna be joining some of my coworkers for happy hour at Out of the Blues, down here between Tigard/Tualatin/Lake O.  It's off I-5 at the Bridgeport exit, east side of the freeway, between Carl's Jr. and the freeway (south side of Boones Ferry Rd, hang a right at the light for SW McEwan Rd, and keep right).

17939 McEwan Rd, Lake Oswego, OR
www.ootblues.com

Happy hour runs from 3-6pm, and I'll probably walk outta work and roll over there around quarter after 5.  dr::

They have billiards.  wt:

Anyway, coworkers told me to pass along the invite if I wanted to "bring anyone with me".  If any of yous wanna come hang out with a bunch of geek engineers who work the aerospace industry, I'm sure you're welcome to join.

Mother make a booby guy!  :e:v

Hhmm

that may tax my non mod powers

actually

I think C has a boobie smilie she has posted up before

We need a Sassy's Trip to celebrate Jon's (Desmosome) Birthday on 17th... who is in?!!!   [drink] and boobies!!!

I'm in.  8)

umm, yeah... "Bible Boy" at "Sassy's"... hrm, think I'll sit that one out.  ;)

Happy (upcoming) b-day Jon!  [thumbsup]

Perhaps we should go to the Doug Fir for an hour or so, first.

Then Jacks?

Diablo's then?  [evil]

How about Plan-B then Hooper Detox Center?  ;D

I'll buy the Vodka Shots!


I can see it now:

 [beer]

 [drink]

  [puke]

 [leo]

 [evil]

Ya know how demons are supposed to like burst into flames when they enter a church... I think if someone like myself entered Diablo's, the reverse would happen (the building would go up).  :-\

So the short answer is "no"  ;)

Don't think about it, go do whatever y'all are gonna do.  I'm going to be crazy busy this weekend anyway, moving between apartments.

My wifey tells me that we (she and I) are going to Kennedy School Friday night to meet up with some folks.

So, there it is, fyi.  If any of you  [moto] hooligans show up, that would be very cool.  Dare I say, it would be smashing, baby!

If not, it's OK, too.

Bottoms up!! 

[wine]  [drink] [beer] [cheeky]

J & M

Pound a hammerhead for me, that's my favorite joint. :'(

I've had a roof crack but no bursting into flames . . . hell I don't even smoke  [evil]

So... possible Kennedy school tonight with JohnnyDucati... and possible sassy night tomorrow with Desmosome...  any of these things finalized? I am trying to make my weekend plans.  ;D  Hope to have lots of extra boobies in those plans.

I'll prolly eat at the Rocket (http://www.rocketpdx.com/) (their rib eye burgers are yummy) and head to Union Jacks (http://www.unionjacksclub.com/) just before nine.

I may ride to K-school tonight.  Don't know yet - hate to ride separately from my sweetie.  And, I'm not a big fan of riding at night in general.

But, it would be nice not to fight for a parking spot for once at that place.

Then again, I can drink if I go shotgun with my sweetie.

Decisions, decisions . . .   [drink] [beer] [wine]

You are talking tonight... right?

yes

If you still planning on going... I can come join ya!

Friday!!! A three day weekend starts now!!! I'm pushin' this desk over and moto'ing over to Plan-B  [drink]

Billy  [thumbsup]

when?

Where am I gonna skip out on my tab next??? [drink] [beer]  ;)

BOG = Bar Of the Gods  [evil]

What time?

Tonight? I'm heading to Emanual right now. After that I'm open. I'll check back here. Peace

Yeah well I don't have interweb a computer  @ home.... I am going home...

I'll be at the lucky  [evil] for a few then on home.... 8)

Hey I've been going to the Lucky  [evil] on Tuesday's nights to hang with Ian (owner of Sassy's). Maybe next Tues we can meet up there.  [beer]

sounds like a plan!   [thumbsup]

You lucky Sassy's!

Beers tonight?

Cierra is out of town so I can play with the boys!!!

Where at? When? Details man....  (Hey Mo... you need any help on Sunday? )

Liza wants to meet up and drink beers with Jed, not sure where yet. 

I think I am covered Sunday, Jon and Mark are supposed to be helping me in the pits, but your more then welcome to hang out.  :)   Not sure how many tickets I get, Janice is dropping them off tonight, and I need to pick my pit pass up at the gate tomorrow.  See if she can hook you up with some teeckets!  :)

Mark can't make it he is running a fever...

And what is the dealio... n/m I'll call you...

LIAR!

Im knocking your bike over now!

I think we are BBQing tonight, somewhere, not sure yet, I will keep ya'z posted.

That is what he told me... and plus he has to move.  >:(

please don't knock over my bike  :'(

my rearset came in the mail today  [thumbsup]

Post where youz'll be at tonight I want to come too, been awhile  :)

Where is Tool??? Is he working on his house remodel yet and needing any help???



Are you guys excited that the sailors are in town???  [cheeky]

I just picked up the 848... looking to ride somewhere... let me know where to go! Oh.. and I went to MotoCorsa without spending a dime.  [thumbsup] Oh wait... there was the $4.49 in gas it cost me to get there.  [bang]

BBQing at my house around 7:30PM, heading to the store to grab stuff now.  All are welcome, so stop on by.


Maurice

Maurice - can you please post me your street address?  Me forgoted.  thanks.  Michelle and me may stop by . . .   thx.

PM sent

 [thumbsup]

Thanks everyone who came over, I had a blast!


Maurice

We still on?  I have a presentation tomorrow in the AM but I'll be there... for a few.... what time?

Yes sir, and I'd like to keep it mello too if possible, just a couple cocktails...  [beer] Dig it 

I'll arrive right around 7:PM and if you don't make it I totally understand  [thumbsup]

"Keep it mello" he says... yeah I didn't think so. Good times Jon. We shouldn't ought to do that nuts again, hehehe  :) Good luck with the presentation today my friend  [coffee]

oh man oh man...  [bang]

Dude, that was an insane presentation.

I am so glad I had some idea of what I was talking about.

If that was mello I dont' want to rage with you....   :)

June 26 after work . . . keep it in the back of your minds . . .

I'll have a single beautiful blonde and perhaps 2 other singles with me . . .

I'll share.  [evil]

Are they legal?

 8)

Jacob's comin' down from the mountain this Saturday!  Let's celebrate!

Meet up after the track at 8 PM!

How about at Plan B?

 [beer]

good idea, I like plan B

Dang it.  I'm in a monkey suit all day at a friends wedding.

Otherwise I would join you rascals.

I think I will look like Mother's avatar by the end of that day . . .

However, if you are there long enough into the evening, do they allow penguin/monkey suit attire into Plan B, or will I get my pooper kicked?

an appearance all J-Bonded up would rawk

Yayyy plan B!!!

Mo probably won't come because he's a wimp after race days, but I'll try to make it.  [beer]

This is the night we'll be in town!!  I'll bring my own Brunette if you don't mind... Where shall we partake in beverages??  I've only been to McMinniman's in PDX, and yes, we have to plan for the almost 10 year old...

I think the Mc beer joints are probably the best bet for drinking and Z friendly

I may have wine, for this momentous occasion.

will you drink it out of a baby bottle?

cuz I would need a picture of that

Sure.

I even have one I got as a free sample.

So does this mean we should come to PDX or not come to PDX?  Just making sure...

Hey, I think I saw the Sun today... no really... honest!

there is no sun

I thought y'all coming here was a forgone conclusion?

I'm confused

they hates's us.

8 PM at Plan B tonight! [thumbsup]

I Plan-to-B  [thumbsup]

Hey, it was great seeing everybody at Plan B last night! [thumbsup] [drink] [wine]

Hey y'all, Lisa & I were just over at Hopworks (http://www.hopworksbeer.com/) for pizza & beer. [thumbsup]

This place has some pretty good beer & the pizza is good too.

Maybe we should have a DMF get togather over here soon. [drink]

Plus they have motorcycle only parking. [moto]

I'm in.

Viktor - You need to set a time and a date for all of that.

How bout we hit that place up when I get there? I'd like to try it. Jacob can stay on the mountain if he wants to, I'll just steal the bike and ride it down.  [beer]

is that place new?

id be up for going any place that has beer and bike parking..... [beer] [drink] [beer]

BTW JBubble . . . I'm the only normal one here.

Chuckles is off his meds again

Blah, blah, blah . . . ya'll just don't want to admit it.  :P

Hey, so OK.  My thingy on the 26th - starting out at Red Robin 185th/Evergreen @ 5PM to ~7PM.  We always transition to somewhere other then where we start to get rowdy, drunk, lascivious . . .

Ya'll are invited.

I'll have at least 2 single hotties looking for a "good" man . . . well maybe "good enough for now" attending for you single blokes.

Bring guest(s) at your discretion.

I'll be drinking - heavily I hope - so I won't be riding.

How about this Saturday? 

Well shit . . . some family stuff came up.  Pushing out to 7/11.

Anybody drinking and debauching tonight?

If I can walk or bicycle there, I am in.

Thursday 5PM
Red Robin 185th/Evergreen

There for ~2 hours and then move to a more rowdy location.  [evil]

Dude... why do you keep setting things up when I am busy... I am going to see the Foo Fighters on Thursday.

If I didn't mention it I'm gonna be drinking so I won't be riding.

Not sure how much "fun" I got in me.  Been a suck-the-soul out of you kinda day at work.  I'm hoping by the 4th shot I'm feeling better . . .

Hope to see you there.

Enjoying a Session Lager at the moment  [beer]

Good work up there, peeps  [thumbsup]

Ahh, the DitR beer of choice!   [beer]

I thought that was the sessions bar beer of choice?

regardless, I love that shit

Ya'll missed out last night.

5-7 Red Robin - tame, getting a good 5 margarita start to the evening.
7-1 Old Chicago - sloppy bartender, Blow Job shots from cleavage, sticky whipped cream <censored to protect BBs virginity>
1-2:30 "Sobbering" up somewhere . . .
2:30 Last shot of Patron
3ish got dropped off for the evening.
5ish up and on my way to work

Sounds like fun. I went to the Foo Fighters concert... which was awesome. How's the head this morning? You even awake?

No hangover - yet.

Left work at 3 becuase I was dog ass tired.

Anybody doing anything tonight? Wife and I are looking to go out... but not sure where.

I'm free  :o

Actually no.  Ava was real proud when I came home after 3AM this morning.  I think I'm likely grounded.

Did I mention there were twins?  [thumbsup]

and.....

OMG

is this why you are selling the accord  :-\

Eh?

*gasp*

Chuckles referred to his wife by... her real name?!?

What happened to "wifezilla"?

I was still drunk and not functioning.  ;)

August 7th - Elizabeth Raab is gonna be in town.  Let's take her some place.

Plan B?  Or is there a cooler place?

 [moto]

nah, we like teh plan B

I just wish the music was a tad quieter . . . I don't like having to press my lips to someone's ear so I can yell in it for them to hear.  [cheeky]

who is this mystery wemon?

http://elizabethraab.com/Portfolio/Photography.html (http://elizabethraab.com/Portfolio/Photography.html)

She's also a DMLer . . . and maybe she converted to the DMF.  I forgot to ask.

she looks naughty  :)

So, naturally I don't know any of the joints in Portland aside from the seedy dive variety... So, just let me know! I've got my seminar early in the am so perhaps something earlier than later?

Lookin' forward to spending a bit of time in your city!

E

Plan B is your typical Punk/Motorcycle dive bar. [evil]


That's why we like it. 8)

Because you seem normal there?  ;)

Well that sounds perfect then!

No, because YOU seem normal there. 8)


Plus we can sit right next to you. [evil]



What time shall we all meet up?

Hahhahha!!

I don't mind you too much, but that Chuckles guy.... he smells funny

ha ha ha totally busted... :D :D

You can take the boy outta Vermont but you can't take the smell outta him  :o

I still don't know how I got designated creepy . . . shit . . . you're dating half of Team Broke Back and I'm creepy?

Totally.

I suppose after a few coctails we'll all find out who's creepy....

In terms of time? I'm plannin' on rollin' into town mid afternoon sometime. I've got day one of a photoshop seminar following day so  maybe 7:ish? Should give some time for hangin'.

what day is this occuring?

I think Chuck proposed the meet up as Thursday the 7th?

You come to my seminar you make million

                           [popcorn]

millions you say??!?!? sign me up!

I just gota say it....Sassy's?

I'm not sure Sassy's would be Elizabeth's thing but if she's up for it or if you wanna go after we meet with her I might be brow beaten into going.

Oh, and yes.  7PM on the 7th Plan B.  Be there or be forever taunted by the rest of us.  [cheeky]

dont you mean "tainted" by all of us?

<Whip snap>

Watch it buddy

Anyone up to converting Thursday's to Plan B day?  It could be our "official club night" and haunt.

Anyone . . . anyone . . . anyone . . .

Does my vote count? If so, it'd be really cool to have a regular meet up day each week.

Sorry, but I'm busy on Thursdays. :'(

should I even ask?


I can do any day of the week y'all want to

but I can only make every other one

wow an actual same day of the week meet up place?  this is starting to sound like some sort of club or something....


drunks riding ducatis or D.R.E.A.D .....

[bang] why am i up at 11:30 at night when i have to get up at 6am for work? why did i drink much tequilla last night and found myself laying in a grassy field looking up at the star lit night in the mountains only to have the stars start to spin in circles while my wife acosted me?  why ask why at times like that.  [beer] oh the wonders of alcohol....now back to the drinking thread in progress.

thursday victor plays peanuckle.

nope


It's the regular meeting time of the TNBVWGC. ;)

Twist N Play Scooter Club meets on Tuesday at Plan B, 9 pm.

We don't want any Mods and Rocker type conflicts, do we?

Anyone gonna be there tonight?

ok I'll do it

What is the TNBVWGC?

oh good lord..... [popcorn]

I have quadraphenia!  Heaven help us all!  [moto]

How bad do you really want to know?  [evil]

We really want to know!!



What's wrong with pinochle? I like the game.

There's some pretty strict initiation requirements. :-*

Oh jesus

I know Maurice

it can't be worse than that

Well. you have to learn the secret handshake amd be able to recite the motto in latin, amoung other things....... [evil]

Me and a hot blonde were the only people at Plan B tonight.  Monday's obviously are not a good choice for going there.
 [drink]

OK, you guys won't judge me right?  I drank too much.  I said things I probably shouldn't.  I peed a lot.

But i payed my bill, I think I sobered up before I drove home.  I got home at a decent hour and . . .

Well I guess that's it really.  It's not 3AM and I'm not plastered so . . .

Wish you guys hadda been there.  No, not really but it's the polite thing to say right?  ;)

I don't care what you say . . . I'm not gonna be an alter boy and that is NOT god's will!


 Move along.   These are not the droids you are looking for.  [evil]

We so need to hang out more.  [evil]

Did i miss something i thought we were going there on the 7th?

Nah, I was just down that way on Monday and stopped in and got myself good and lubed.

7th is still on but Elizabeth thinks she might have to move it to a later time and/or a later date.  More news to follow.

7th? What is this talk of alcohol that I have not been invited to?  [bang]

Dude . . . I swear . . .

You replied to to the exchange about Elizabeth's visit . . .

Gawd I need a drink. Where's the tequila shooting smiley?

right here

 [puke]

Wait... what is this about the 7th?  What time and where?  We have a visitor?

Crap... work's been nuts, I can't keep up with this bloody forum.  [roll]

quit

who needs that crappy job anyway

flying is so last century

when i get this teleporter working that I bought off ebay

you airplane people are sooo out of a job

That must be some huge supercomputer, how much did that cost you?

What about the heisenberg uncertainty principle?

make the beast with two backs Heisenberg

and make the beast with two backs his uncertainty principle

Heisenberg was a drunk and whiner

"wha, if it's this it isn't that but if it isn't that it can't be this..."

what does that even mean?

I bought this teleporter for 199.00 and the guy selling it says he got it from his brother who got it from the builder and it ran when they first got it

all I have to do is get another plutonium rod and we're in buisness

stupid airplanes anyway

I bet my time machine starts working before your lame transporter.... I only gotta get her up to 88 miles per hour.... Not sure how I gonna do that though... it was installed in the Ninja 250... know any steep hills??  [moto]

Yeah Mom, keep me apprised of how that teleporter thing is working... I wanna bail before the rest of the industry gets wind of it.  (Hey, insider trading isn't illegal if you're trading jobs instead of stocks, is it?)

So yeah... what's going down on the 7th?

Yo!  Bibleboy, check it!  And YES Ms. Raab from Seattle

And just for the record JBubble . . . what the hell . . . how'd we score creepy? 

Besides Elizabeth's met us already.  If we didn't creep her out helping her out of her jacket at the DNW07 party I think we're OK . . . I didn't creep you out right?  ;)

Damn it, now we're gonna be all OCD about creepiness . . .

We likes the shineys . . . they're our precious . . . don't hurt us we'll be goodsy . . .

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Its all outta love sweetie!!!!!

Y'all are creepy in a good way.



Pssst: Y'all = You all

It ain't love until the restraining order has been submitted.  [leo]

 :o

 ;D

Dontcha hate it when people screw up the contraction and spell it " ya'll "?  [roll]



 ;)

I know!!!!! Drives me nuts.  [laugh] There's no Bojangles in Oregon either. So depressing.

I think the creepy factor would have been what would have happend if I wasn't able to get out of that jacket....!

So, as far as the 7th, it looks like I'm not going to make it in town in time to attend. I'm thinking perhaps Saturday or Sunday could work though if that might work for any of you? Sunday there is a show I'm thinkin' of seeing. Saturday is pretty open. I've got to make any night fairly early though as I'm attending a seminar during the days (reason for this trip).

Let me know what you all think. Sorry to have to bag out of Thursday (tomorrow) night!!

How's about it guys?  Any of you available SA for Elizabeth's entertainment?

I'm out unfortunately.  :-\

Oh, and would the locals be doing TH still?  [thumbsup]

On a side note, let me know if you guys will be there so I can make it if I'm in town in time (not likely, but you never know!)

Plan B tomorrow still sounds good to me.

Good.  I need a drink!  [drink]

Oh sure, you'll drink with Ryan but not with me. >:(

How am I to keep up my rep as an enabler if you keep dissin' me. ;D

PS:  I'd be up for sunday.

Let me get this straight . . . Billy bought your drink, I bought your food and you're gonna piss in my porridge?

Yahhhhhh . . . that'd be strike 1.  ;)

i plan on being at Plan B tomarrow night regardless i told a buddy of mine id be there so hes showing up at 9pm.  So there will be one lonely Duck in the parking lot...... :'(

Hey, I bought myself a drink too, and asked if you wanted one. [drink]

Mister Drink-only-water. ;D

Billy man show up if you can im buying your drinks tomarrow or which ever day i see you next.  [drink]

Billy was driving . . . I had to stay sober . . . no wait . . .

I had too much last Monday AND I had 2 drinks before you showed up.  Don't be all sissyfying me because I have a modicum of control  [drink]

Only sissies use the word "modicum", Sissy.

I don't think i will be attending... i am busy writing a grant. :(

I'll be there NLT 7.

I was thinking of being there earlier for eating. Who all is still gonna hit it?

So yah, I wanna hit "happy hour"  figure I'll leave work ~4:30 unless shit happens . . . then there's traffic . . .

Happy hour sounds good. I'll be there. Too bad Elizabeth hates us  :'(

It's J's fault.  She kept going on and on about me being creepy . . .  [evil]

My bad!  ;D

I are still plannin' to hit me up the Plan B tonight.   [drink]  I'll have one beer if I'm caging it... but odds are I'll be on the SS.  A "new" rule I've had for myself this year... if I'm riding, no alky at all.  I am gonna need me some foodage, however.  Unfortunatley there's no way I'll be able to take off early enough to make happy hour.  Too much crap to get done before Moan-day.  Anyways, they still serve food later, right?  It's just more expensive?

Saturday I dunno what's going on yet.  I may be at Chuck & Ava's BBQ that afternoon, but since I ain't hosting, I could take off around 6-7 and meet up with the group somewheres to entertain Elizabeth.  [thumbsup]  Or I may be out hiking with my family.  Haven't finalized plans yet.

Sunday is also nebulous.  There's an after-church gig that I may be sticking around for, but I have no idea how late that'll go.  I'll check the board as the weekend progresses to see what everyone's up to.

Good rule there BibleBoy. Neikos and I were discussing a similar rule, this one was 'two wheels = two beers, four wheels = four beers'. Then here came Krolik in his eighteen wheeler, go figure  [laugh]

What if you walk ain't on no wheels?

And I was planning on showing up on a unicycle... better scratch that idea....  and no wheels... hell that would be worse... no beers.... maybe I should show up on them tri-met buses... some of them got like 12 wheels.  [drink]

Good thing I'm riding a centipede wearing roller skates to Plan B!  ;D

What if you had a Ducati 888? Tomorrow would be appropriate day for scootin' it... 08/08/2008  [cheeky]

Beat it! I'm off! See yous guys down there

I'm on the way!  [drink]

genius   [wine]

We have it hard. .04% legal limit, and if you blow any amount you're out of service for 24 hours. Eighteen = two. :(

Yo, sorry about last night guys, something just overcame me.  It was really weird.

I took my temp when I got home, and it was between 95 and 97, Cierra took hers and it was fairly accurate (those stupid electronic thermometers suck ass!).  Not sure how I would be so cold while sweating my ass off, but I suppose its possible.

Anyways, it was nice seeing you guys, and meeting you new folks.


Maurice

hot flashes?

cold flashes?

More stressful than lining up on the race grid....

Handed in a grant last night.

Well mailed it.

Started writing it on Monday.  Yeah, I am a slacker.

Had to fill out paper work and get that all strait. 

Didn't get much writing done until Tuesday night.

Needless to say I haven't slept much this week.

It was due, no it had to be post marked by 8.8.08.

Found that one buried in over 100 pages of instructions.

An extra 5 hours yay!! 

I went to the airport USPS... they close at 10:00, i got there after 10.

I went downtown to the USPS... people were still there... but you had to use the automated mail machine.

It turns off sometime and restarts between 10 & 11:45.

With 4 min to spare...the grant was post marked 8.8.08.

A cause for celebration??

This 'celebration' that you speak of...  :)
help is needed no?

So... uhh... we meeting with Ms. Raab sometime this weekend?  Or did we scare her off?  ;D

Last I knew 7PM Plan B tonight - minus me.

 The STRIPPER OLYMPICS will be held at Plan B, Sep 13th.   [popcorn]

HELL YAH!

Johnny & Billy you know  . . .  [thumbsup]

whats involved with the stripper olympics? we do not have such things in my lovely city full of southern charm and grace.

Oh I'm sure Charm will be there, not sure Grace has the night off.

I don't get it?

Sorry everyone! My reply reminder isn't working so hot with this site! Didn't get in till late Thursday. Layin' low tonight, but I'll be out at The East End tomorrow. Won't be out to late, but will definitely be there!

Takes more than alleged creepiness to scare me off!

E

tomorrow then....

I hear at the east end you can order a plate of  [bacon]

Billy - Sick Puppies.  ;)

It just occured to me, fair warning, most the girls at this show are likely going to have black hair with bangs! So, I now regret not bringing my Ducati hoodie!

I scooted down to Plan-B last night anyway knowing you sexy hooligans would not be there, guess I thought I'd have dinner there, didn't happen just rum & coke. The place had a few punk bands booked, it was rather LOUD.

Are you all rathering around some place today? Church perhaps?  [cheeky]

I'm headed to the East End for a show. Anyone who wants to join is welcome!

They had a roller derby after party there last night. We went to the bout but we didn't go to the party.

Bwaaa haaaa haaaaaa!  Speaking of Bible Boy
(http://www.me.com/ro/orducrider/Galleries/100052/IMG_1635/web.jpg?ver=12183787380002)

"Billy . . . look into my eyes, your will is mine . . . "I knew it!

[evil]

I almost went to the derby bout at the Expo Center, cool that you guys did. A couple of the Break Neck Betties live next door to me, me likey  :)  they're fun!

Have fun! I took my ride today already my kitchen pass is void :'(

hehehe this reminds me... when I see a married friends name on my caller ID the conversation usually starts just like this;

Me: Yeah?
He: Hey man, what are you doing?
Me: Whatever I want
He: Dude, you suck!

Put it to the wifey like this SaltLick: "I got your 'kitchen pass' woman. Now daddy's goin' out for a bit tonight, go ahead and leave my dinner warming in the oven. And remember, when daddy gets home he'll be waking you for some lovin" :-* (at this point smack her on that cute behind and grab your helmet)  ;)

That's how it should go right?  [roll]   [laugh] j/k

Ok, beat from the day. Planning to head over early and bail early. See you there!

shut up pregnant dog go fetch me a turkey pot pie!  i wish.

I came home one night to Wifezilla and a friend waiting or me to help him with something.  She came out all flaming hair, laser beam eyes, fire shooting out of her mouth.

I had had a bad day so I said "Shut up pregnant dog and get us some beer."

She turned around, went inside and got us 2 beer and brought them to us.

He stared at me, I stared at him, and she went back inside.  We kinda sat there stunned for about 5 minutes when the door flew open she came out all tirading.

"I can't believe I just did that!  How dare you talk to me that way!"

It must have just slipped by the nuerons or something for a minute.

Yep.  Most of the day.  Got shot down while I was hanging out afterward.  Wasn't even by her directly... she was all sweet.  She had someone else do her dirty work.  >:(  *sigh*

Didn't get home 'til darn near 4, then I took the SIGs (9mm & .45) over to the range for a little exercise.  ;)

Oh well, it was a half-good day.

Who's going to Plan B Wednesday for the stripper olympics?  Who's planning on Plan B Thursday?

??   [popcorn]

Friday is R.Reckless B-Day party @ plan B.

did anyone meet up with little miss picture taker last weekend?

i didn't go out at all this weekend...

went to bed early

i am getting old  [coffee]

So back to the original ?.

Anyone going to the stripper olympics at Plan B Wednesday or Plan B Thursday?

I don't think I have to answer this.



Prolly not.  I've got too much crap going on this week.

i'll try for thursday...

Sounds like Morgan, Dave, and I will be there too.

i dont think i can make it. id like to but i need to pack were leaving early friday gone for about a week.

Come on . . . man up!  [evil]

Morgan's out, Dave's woosin out, John you still in?  Anyone else in?

I'm picking up the bike ~4ish and will head over ~5ish.  Probably stick around for ~1 hour unless there's some company.  :D

dude.... I got up at midnight last night... and just got home... I hate flying... and I hate airports.... blech..

How was Plan B?

I'll be there at some point, maybe 7, maybe sooner

Anybody drinking any time soon? I need a drink... it has been a rough week already... whiskey and tequilla shots are needed... in high volume!!  [drink]   [beer]   [wine] followed by  [puke]  and  [bang]

send some drinks my way too please

Not I said Rabbit.

I'd be down for a brewski tomorrow (Thursday) night.  Tonight's already booked for me.

We wanna go hit up that pizza/beer place over on Powell?  Crap, what was the name of it?  Someone suggested it when they found out about Jeff getting pushed out of Plan B.

http://www.hopworksbeer.com/ (http://www.hopworksbeer.com/)

Oh . . . good gawd . . . you guys are gonna twist my arm until I say yes aren't you?  The pressure is killing me . . .  ;)

just pull it out and let it hang if you gotta go

tugging on it is what makes it get difficult to pee

thus the pressure

I am being forced into charity today... all day long Habitat for Humanity project.... should be done 5ish... then I will see if anybody is on that wants to get grub and beers. If not... I can always find some myself. However, as I will be outdoors building stuff all day... I wont be able to check this till later.

That's the place.

I'll say I'm gonna go, but it'll be another late workday.  I'll prolly leave here about quarter after 6.  I really need some good grub and a brewski.

Anyone planning on joining BB?

Cierra and I are busy this week, weekend, next week, next weekend, the week after, and I would guess the weekend as well.  See you guys in 18 years....

man i felt the same way when my kid was born.... ;D

I'll meet you some place closer to home BB if no one else wants to play.

Dude... what about Red Robinat Wa Sq   old market pub ? Beer and its closer... eh?

What/where is Old Market Pub and what time?

Pub is like 1 mile behind my house.  We can all meet at my house and then head over there??  I don't care when. Dan... when can you join the brew.. er I mean crew.

We are probably heading over at like 6... OMP.... directions.. if you take the greenburg rd exit from 217.... then head toward mall... keep going straight.... greenburg turns into oleson... keep going till you pass my house and keep going... when you hit DQ and sharis... turn right... I think thats multnomah... anyhow... the pub is like a quarter mile down on the left... join us.. its beer and its good... and the food is good... and they have pretty waiting staff.... not a bad all around combo.

Old Market Pub.

Sounds like a plan.  [thumbsup]

I could use me a [drink]

I'll be off sometime between now and 6:30, and I'll meet y'all there.

You know what goes good w/ beer?  Boobies...

nuff said... :)

It was the blackest night
There was no moon in sight
You know the stars ain't shinin'
'Cause the sky's too tight
I heard the scarey wind
I seen some ugly trees
There was a werewolf honkin'
'Long the aide of me

I'm mean 'n I'm bad, y'know I ain't no sissy
Got a big titty girly by the name of Chrissy
Talkin' about her 'n my bike 'n me . . .
'N this ride up the Mountain of Mystery, mystery

I noticed even the crickets
Was actin' weird up here
So I figured I might
Just drink a little beer
I said, "Gimme summa that what yer suckin' on . . "
But there was no reply
'Cause she was gone . . .

"Where's those titties I like so well,
'n' my godam beer!"
Is what I started to yell, then I heard this noise
Like a crunchin' twig, 'n up jumped the Devil , . .
He's about this big , . .

He had a red suit on
An' a widow's peak
An' then a pointed tail
'N like a sulphur reek
Yes, it was him awright,
I swear I knowed it was
He had some human flesh
Stuck underneath his claws
You know, it looked to me
Like it was titty skin
I said, "You sonofabifch!"
'Cause I was mad at him.
Well he just got out the floss
'N started cleanin' his fang
So I shot him with my shooter.
Said: BANG BANG BANG

The sucker just laughed 'n said, "Put it away . . .
You know, I ate her all up . . . now what you gonna say?"
YOU ATE MY CHRISSY? "Yeah! titties 'n all!"
WHAT ABOUT THE BEER THEN? "Were the cans this tall?"
EVEN HER BOOTS? "Would I lie to you?"
SHIT, YOU MUSTA BEEN HUNGRY! "Yes, this is true'.
'WELL DON'T THEY PAY Y'ALL GOOD FOR THE
STUFF THAT YOU DO?
"I can't complain when the checks come through . . ''
WELL I WANT MY CHRISSY, 'N I WANT MY BEER
SO YOU JUST BARF IT BACK UP NOW, DEVIL,
DO YOU HEAR!
"Blow it out your ass, motorcycle man! I am fhe Devil,
Do you understand?
Just what will you give me for your titties and beer?
I suppose you noticed this little contract here , . ''
YER GODDAM RIGHT, YOU SON-OF-A-WHORE,
THAT'S ABOUT THE ONLY REASON
I LEARNED WRITIN' FOR . . .
GIMME THAT PAPER ... BET YER ASS
I'LL SIGN . . . 'CAUSE I NEED A BEER, 'N IT'S TITTY-
SQUEEZIN' TIME!

"You can't fool me, man . . . you ain't that bad . . .
I mean you shoulda seen some of fhe souls I had . . .
Why there was Milhous Nixon 'n Agnew too . . .
'n both of fhose suckers was worse 'n you . .
"WELL, LET'S MAKE A DEAL IF YOU THINK THAT'S TRUE
I MEAN, YOU'RE THE DEVIL SO ... WHATCHA GONNA DO?

(improvised dialog)

"No! Don't sign it! Give me time to think ...
I mean ... hold on a minute, boy . . . that's
Magic Ink!"

And then the Devil puked
'N out jumped m'girl
They heard the titties PLOP-PLOPPIN'
All around the world, she said:
"I GOT ME THREE BEERS 'N A FIST FULLA DOWNS,
AN' I'M GONNA GET WRECKED, SO make the beast with two backs YOU CLOWNS!"

And then she gave us the finger,
It was rigid 'n stiff,
That's when the Devil, he farted
An' she went right over the cliff
The Devil was mad took off to my pad
I swear I do declare!
How did she get back there?
I swear I do declare!
How did she get back there?
etc. repeat

victor has finally gone mad..... :-X

Just goes to prove I'm the only sane/normal one here  ;)

Viktor is channelling Frank Zappa.

Didn't need to google that one.  That is classic Zappa:  "Titties and Beer".

I don't know what album it's on, but we played the hell out of it at my friends house growing up.

Only Zappa album I had growing up was Sheik Yerbouti (with the great song, "Don't Eat that Yellow Snow").  I think I still have it . . .

Shit.  I feel make the beast with two backsin' old . . .

Damn you Krolik !!!!  (shakes fist)   :)

we are not old....we are just....wise.

OH hey . . .

Thursday night, starting at 5PM - O'briens Pub in Hillsboro . . . Cornell Rd, just West of the airport and "across" the street from the Burgerville plaza.

 [evil]

Hey there, people, I'm Bobby Brown
They say I'm the cutest boy in town
My car is fast, my teeth is shiney
I tell all the girls they can kiss my heinie
Here I am at a famous school
I'm dressin' sharp 'n' I'm
actin' cool
I got a cheerleader here wants to help with my paper
Let her do all the work 'n' maybe later I'll rape her

Oh God I am the American dream
I do not think I'm too extreme
An' I'm a handsome sonofabit*h
I'm gonna get a good job 'n' be real rich

get a good
get a good
get a good
get a good job

Women's Liberation
Came creepin' across the nation
I tell you people I was not ready
When I f**ked this dyke by the name of Freddie
She made a little speech then,
Aw, she tried to make me say "when"
She had my balls in a vice, but she left the dick
I guess it's still hooked on, but now it shoots too quick

Oh God I am the American dream
But now I smell like Vaseline
An' I'm a miserable sonofabit*h
Am I a boy or a lady...I don't know which

I wonder wonder
wonder wonder

So I went out 'n' bought me a leisure suit
I jingle my change, but I'm still kinda cute
Got a job doin' radio promo
An' none of the jocks can even tell I'm a homo
Eventually me 'n' a friend
Sorta drifted along into S&M
I can take about an hour on the tower of power
'Long as I gets a little golden shower

Oh God I am the American dream
With a spindle up my butt till it makes me scream
An' I'll do anything to get ahead
I lay awake nights sayin', "Thank you, Fred!"
Oh God, oh God, I'm so fantastic!
Thanks to Freddie, I'm a sexual spastic
And my name is Bobby Brown
Watch me now, I'm goin down,
And my name is Bobby Brown
Watch me now, I'm goin down, etc.

IF zappa is a sign of old age

bring on the gray hair

I love that guy

don't have to bring on the gray, its already there.  ;)

 [coffee]


whatever are you refering to my dear?

I happen to have full head of thick black hai.... [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

exactly

ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew

 ???

Oh, his head on his shoulders not the other one!!!!

yucky.  [puke]

Word out to all the peeps:

i'm going to go check out a flocal dive called Mickey Finn's (SE 43rd & Woodstock) tomorrow after work.

Apparently, it's quite the bike magnet on Friday's, so, I'm gonna go see fer myself.

Full report tomorrow.

Anything else going down?  I don't think I'll be there too awfully long.

I'm ready for the weekend.

J

Give Chrissy Love (the blonde waitress) a slap on the hide cheek. She loves that kind of stuff  ;)
I'll look for ya as I peddle past, will stop if there is not too many bikers  :-[

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I will on my own all week while I'm out there. Can I hang with some people in the evenings while I'm there?

You can hang out with us dude. We usually get home around 4:30-5ish. We'll be back from Seattle on Sunday.

Thank you.  :-*

I'll be on vacation all next week, but staying in town to work on projects.  Gimme a holler if you wanna go hang out.  [thumbsup]

Only thing I have planned right now is Wednesday night, so I won't be available then.  Unless, of course, you wanna come discuss "What Jesus Demands of the World" by John Piper.  ;)  Specifically, we'll be going over Chapter 13.  It's short, if you wanna read it, the whole text is posted online for free (this link points to the start of the chapter): http://www.crossway.org/product/1581348452/browse?pg=105

Uhhhhh yeah.......gonna have to say no to that.  ;D

I'll give you a shout. Thanks!

I think  I saw that one coming.  [laugh]  Normally, we would have you come hang with us... but I got family in town all weekend... yikes. If you go out during the week next week... let us know and we can join.

I think thats what I'm going to end up doing most of the week. I have jacob's bike and I'll prolly just use my crackberry with google maps to get around. For the ride getting to MotoCorsa from BFE doesn't look too hard but I've got JohnnyD's number if I get lost.

Hey BB . . . Can Kristine and I come to your thingy on Wednesday?

 [evil]

What is BFE? I live in Beaverton, if your in that area and want to ride with me to motocorsa Sunday morning let me know!

Estacada. Well, outside of Estacada. I PMd you the exact addy.

Estacada???? Where the hell is that?  I think that is way far away from me......

Go to Oregon City... turn left.... go down about 25 miles of cool twisties... then you be in Estacada.

Hey J,

I don't know if you're in PDX for work related stuff, but if you have a day your more than welcome here at the coast.  PM or Myspace me.

You've got a pm.

Hey Bubble-

I'm just down the road from Estacada/Damascus/Boring.  I believe I am the closest one to you location-wise.

I ride out in that area all the time.

Give a call anytime you need anything.

When do you arrive?

J

That's what I was expecting...  ;)  To some degree, this group is kinda my own personal "missions field," so I had to throw it out there.



Umm, lemme think about that.......





No!  [cheeky]

If you want a lil trip, G has the weekend off w/ the kiddo, and I have Monday and part of Tuesday off (inventory)... course you'd have to ride to Bend but it's a fun ride... :) 

Thanks guys. Y'all are making this much better for me.  :-*

I'm arriving Saturday around lunch time and will be leaving the next saturday. When I arrive i'll probably just eat and sleep so I'll be ready for the ride.

Johnny, I would LOVE to meet you on the way to MotoCorsa. Thank you!

watch out for him he likes to hit peoples kill switches.....or is that chuck?

If you want to meet up some time during the week, give he a holler. 

Not I said Rabbit!

The kill switch thing was between Mo and E, IIRC.  Billy might be one of those hooligans as well.

So anyhoo.... Sounds like JBubble needs some evening entertainment, and we're all open on various night this week...  Hows abouts we schedule an official DMF night out?

I propose we meet on Thursday or Friday, starting around 6 or 7, at Hopworks (http://www.hopworksbeer.com/).

Lemme know what y'all think.  [thumbsup]

That would be awesome. im definitely up for it.

Thursday is OUR day . . .

Unfortunately I'm busy every Thursday, and this week Friday too. :'(

How bout we move it to Wed nights?

Or any of the days that end in 'y'. [bacon]

Wednesday works for me.

Wednesday is me pool night.

I am also busy Wednesday night.

Crap... dunno if people are gonna bother showing up so soon after a big group ride, but we could do Tuesday.

Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday work for me.

Anybody wanna hang out tonite? dinner? drinks?

Wanna and can are 2 completely different beasties.

Sorry  :-\

I'm free tonight, JBub.  I'm up for some shenanigans.

Tomorrow I'm out with work clients.  Thursday I don't know yet.  Friday & the weekend should be free, too.

Whaddya have in mind?  If you're at Mo and Cierra's, there's a bunch of cool places not far, starting with Kennedy School.

Drop me a line.

J

Yup, I'm at their house. They're going to be out tonite after 7 so I'll be available then.

Is anyone still down for Hopworks on Thursday or Friday?

A) I really wanna try their brew.
B) I'd like to meet this JBubble character...
C) I'd just like to go out to a pub sometime soon for good food and drinks.

Lemme know if y'all can't make a specific day... I know Victor is n/a on Thursdays.  If Friday works better for more people, then we'll do Friday.  One way or another, I'm goin' out for brewskis sometime this week.  [drink]

Miss Bubble, you have a preference?

im up for it.

No dear sir, I do not have a preference. I went out and had a drink and ... tapas? ... with JohnnyDucati tonite (thank you John! I had a wonderful time). Friday evening would be best I think but I'm up for either.

My vote is Thursday!!


***** Edit *****

Uh... I been working since 3:30 am... and I may be working through till tomorrow late... Software code deploys... oh joy... so, if I do make it on Thursday... I could be a zombie!

So whats the verdict anyone going to hopworks tonight?

I still think I might.... may go home and nap first.  ;D  Will try and talk Julie into coming out too!! I need a beer.  [drink]

Normally, but I'll be heading in the other direction for a 2 day mountain trip.

I'm going bowling directly across the street from it, heading there right now. You guys should call me if your going. I'll join you there or check to see if there are any gay motorcycles out front later.

Later,
Billy
  :)

Crap... sorry guys... meant to get on here last night.  Today was nuts.  I'm planning on Hopworks tomorrow night (Friday) starting around 6:30-7:00 if anyone is still up for it.

Tomorrow I'm reinstalling the freshly mounted & balanced tires I picked up today, and going to BMW of Western Oregn to test ride the ST4s they have sitting in the showroom.  1500 original miles!  I've test ridden an Uglystrada, and now will test ride the ST, and I should be able to come to a definitive conclusion on which one is right for me after that.

Anyway...

Hopworks
Friday night
Starting between 6:30pm and 7pm
 [beer]

I'll join you at Hopworks Friday evening Dan'o and hear about the test ride. Enjoy it.

Alright, see ya later Billy.  [thumbsup]

Come one, come all...

Hopworks, starting between 6:30 and 7pm!  [beer]  It's Friday, and I'm sure most, if not all, of you could use some good grub and a brewski.  [thumbsup]

im thinking ill be there tonite.

Cool JBubble is definately join us, alright!!!

I'll roll in about 7pm my friend. Last night I rolled into the parking lot to see if any of you creeps  ;) where there and I'll be damned if some jackass had not taken the moto parking with his hunk of shite car. If that has happened tonight they will be moving the car. Count on that! I'll clear it if I get there before y'all.
 
-billy

save me a spot. im doin everything i can to get there before 7.

No worries.  [thumbsup]  I just got the tires back on my SS... but since they're not broken in yet, and I don't drink when I ride, I'll be leaving in the cage here shortly.  Should get there between 6:30 and 7, but it's not like some kind of major neccessity to get there at that time.  I plan on hanging out for a while.  :)

I'm heading out for the thing for that guy at that place . . .  ;D

(http://a496.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/8/l_e119d27da4ccc69ccd83a1b6c86131e7.jpg)

Interested in finding out more???

does it involve Jacob and Feltching?

 [puke]

I hate you

You cant hate the ones you love, lover!

<creepy crawly skin>

<shudders>

 [puke]

Back on topic... +1 to that bumper sticker.  [thumbsup]

Some of my all-time faves are Guinness, and Prescott Brewing's "Pine Tar Stout."  [drink]

screw you, I happen to like it when Jacob pushes back.

I believe most --if not all-- of us are aware of this fact.  ;D

wow... BB pulled out a zinger...

Btw, you know what goes good with Beer?

Boobies... ( . )( . )

OK the first post was a tease for this
(http://a828.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/64/l_9472323782e8206e36a53eef2e9d77bb.jpg)
Come get your drink on.  Sample 10 dark beers and root beer too.  Summer isn't over yet!  [drink]

Im racing.  :(  make it stop!

That sounds like an excuse for a coast ride.  [thumbsup]

Will have to wait and see what the weather does, but Pacific City may be my destination next Saturday.

I think ToR is on Sunday that weekend, so I should be able to do both...

Aack!  Nobody has posted in here since the 12th?!?  How can this be?!?  :o

Well, methinks in honor of Cierra's upcoming birth-giving, we need to (tentatively) plan a celebratory GTG for sometime this week!

Thursday night work for most?  (Sorry Veektor... Tue, Wed, Fri, and Sat won't work for me this week)

Of course, y'all are welcome to go somewhere Wednesday or Friday, I just won't be able to make it.

Location suggestions?  I really liked the beer at Hopworks, and would be game for going there again.  [thumbsup]

anywhere i can bicycle too after work, works 4 me

Where's work for you?  Do we need to keep it close to the OHSU main campus?

nah... i can do anywhere Portland metro area

I'm game for Thursday.

Okay everybody... Thursday it is!  [thumbsup]

I'm feeling like Hopworks or McMenamins...

So would folks prefer Hopworks or the Tavern & Pool (up on 23rd near MotoCorsa)?

----

Reminder!  There's a Tuesday-night get together by the PNWRiders forum Portland section, at the Ava Roasteria (http://www.avaroasteria.com/) in downtown Beaverton.  Usually starts around 7pm... goes 'til whenever (this kewl coffee shop is open 24 hrs).  Our very own Sabrina has been known to attend...  and we could use a few more Ducatis.  ;)

The pnwriders thread can be found HERE (http://pnwriders.com/portland-region/82194-tuesday-night-coffee-8.html).
(NOTE: that link goes straight to page 8 of the thread)

The one guy yakking about guys doing wheelies on Burnside makes me nervous, but most of the rest of 'em seemed to be cool.

Dan--- what time tonight? May be the last riding event for awhile.  [moto]

Just pick a place dang it!  I'm thirsty!

I vote for the Tavern & Pool.... McMenamins... yummy... only cause it is closer to me.  [thumbsup]

when? where? are we talking thursday night or tuesday?

For the record, I still have free money at McMenamins. My treat? :P

lol, I figured combining the posts was probably too confusing...


See my description:

 ;)

-------

To clarify...

Tuesday night and Thursday night are two separate events.

Tuesday (tonight) is the coffee gig with PNWRiders at the Ava Roasteria in Beaverton.  I'll be there.  Sabrina posted on PNWR that she'll be there as well.

Thursday, I am proposing we go out for brewskis in honor of the new Ducati rider Cierra & Mo brought into the world this week.  [beer]

And based on what I'm hearing...

Thursday, starting around 7pm, McMenamins Tavern & Pool.  [thumbsup]  Be there, or Dan says you're not cool.  Not that my opinion on "coolness" counts for much...  :-[

(obviously: the coolness condition excepts Mo & C, since they've got a brand-spankin' new little one to attend to)

Cliff's Notes Version:

Optional:
Tuesday night, ~7pm, Ava Roasteria in downtown Beaverton, in conjunction with the PNWRiders forum Portland section.

Strongly recommended:
Thursday night, ~7pm, McMenamins Tavern & Pool on NW 23rd near MotoCorsa, DMF gathering in honor of Rowan Noah Miller.

 [beer]


(Yes, it's kinda sad/pathetic/whatever that I have to Cliff's Notes my posts...)

It was fun. Thought we saw Dave ride by... but he didn't stop. So sad.

that was me, i did come back and stop about 15 minutes later. When i went by i didnt see any ducatis and I had to go to Target to get a few things, so i went there first then swung by.  I must have missed you by minutes. I saw Dan and a few others there, stopped for about half hour.  Representin italian stallion yall!  

So we're doing "
Thursday night, ~7pm, McMenamins Tavern & Pool on NW 23rd near MotoCorsa, DMF gathering in honor of Rowan Noah Miller." tomorrow?

Of course the honored guests can't go due to smoking locale.

if the honored guests are experiencing what i experienced when my first kid was born....i think at this point they are searching for any opportunity to get some sleep.....

Yes.


"in honor of"... not necessarily "honored guests"  ;)

And as Dave points out, I'd imagine that Mo and C are in need of rest.  This gig is just the rest of us using Rowan's birth as an excuse to go out.  ;D  Same way we use our own birthdays, etc... except the new guy is a little too young to join us at our normal venues.

So is that a yes?  We're meeting there at 7?

G-Zues you people are driving me frickin crazy!  >:(

I'm here for ya, Chuck.

You, me, BB it looks like.

I think I'll be bringing 2 "companions" with me . . . some of you single guys might want to take that into consideration  ;)

Anyone off today?

I'm thinking of maybe sneaking off from work early and hitting the Black Cat in Sellwood before heading over to this.  Company would be good.

I would... but I have this stupid meeting from 4-5... if it gets cancelled... I am so there. Black Cat has shuffleboard!!

Call me if things change.

What time do you plan on heading over there?

TONIGHT!!!

McMenamins Tavern & Pool (1716 NW 23rd Ave... couple blocks south of MotoCorsa)

~7pm

I'll probably show up a little after that, as I'll be leaving work around 6:45pm, and I'm driving up from the Bridgeport Village area (work is a couple blocks north of it).

Microbrews, food, pool, and friends... it's a beautiful thing. [thumbsup]

...and friends

I'm thinking of leaving here at 3PM.  But I'm not sure I wanna do the Black Cat alone.  AND I REALLY wanna drink so I might put myself in a bad spot if I go there 1st.

So really it's up in the air.  I guess if I get a playmate then I'll do it otherwise I'll hit the Tavern early.  I WON'T leave any later than 5 either way to get drinking  [drink]

I'll go with you... but I carpooled with the wife... so I will need to either wait till after 4 to bail... or you can snag me from work.  [thumbsup]  My 4 - 5 got moved to Friday.

I'll leave here at 3.  Swing by and pick you up.  You know how to get to the Black Cat?

My ass is on the way out the door!

3 hours, 18 minutes - that's how much sleep I got last night.  I'm gonna be hating life around 2 today . . . I hope work is interesting enough to make me not scoop an out of its socket with a spork.

Ryan, dude thanks for taking me to Black Cat and Acrop and getting me started!

Good seeing everyone!  Did I put on a good show  :o  Hope I wasn't TOO much.   But GAWD I needed some release and that was perfect!

Bendy - hit me up on Facebook.

Wankerman - yah you know who you are - you had to mention the ice to HER didn't you?  Now she's all working out how to get me back again!  Just when I thought I was safe . . .

I guess  I should thank Ryan and BB for making sure I'd get home safe . . . I won't, but I recognize I should  [evil]

Thanks Kyle for picking up the tab!  Dude . . . I owe you!!

OH!  How many times did you monkeys take my camera into the men's room?  Geesh I deleted like 3 pics and it was like every time I picked it up there was another pic!  I haven't looked since I left it'll be interesting to see what you guys did when my back was turned - funny bunch!  ;D

Hopefully someone got a good shot of the blonde  ;)

Ummmm . . . i'm spent . . .

Oh oh oh!!!


[laugh]

Awwww shucks . . . .

Thanks Dan and Ryan.

Hey Ryan, thank Julie for ordering food for me please!  That was very nice of her.

I think she was afraid that if you didn't sober up... you might actually leave some of those pictures on your camera.  [evil]

Dudes,

I'm sorry I missed out.  sounds like you all had a blast.  Had a little too many distractions yesterday.

I'll catch you the next time.

J

I planned to make it out with you guys for the worthy celebration but got some tremendously bad news via cell phone while standing in the chilled food section at New Seasons  :( It was a royal bummer for me so please pardon my not attending. The rotten news was expected sometime fairly soon but WHAMO! This is part of the reason I hate cell phones. Oh well.

Sorry to sound like Debbie Downer here, I'll quit. 

 :)

Thank the Gods somebody kept an eye on Chuckers. He may have wound up in Hooper Detox without ya.
Next time foo's   ;)

Sorry Billy - hope everything "works out" quickly for you and you can resume a normal "happy" life soon.

Oh, some other funny nuts from this morning.

Becca - Daaaad, why are there so many ones on your desk?
Me - Because I'm going to All For a Dollar later.
Becca- Why do you need all the ones for that?
Me - HELLO, everything you buy costs a dollar!  ;D

16 year old mental scarring averted!

 [laugh]  You are evil!  [laugh]

You're welcome for makin' sure you got home in one piece.  [thumbsup]  I'm glad K talked you into it first, 'cause I don't think Ryan or I really wanted to physically wrestle anyone for keys...  see, there's a reason I let you walk her to her car.  ;)

Hey everybody, thanks for comin' out, that was a great time!  [beer]  Beer+food+pool+friends = good times.

And daaaaaang.... I had almost forgotten how hot "the blonde" was... yikes.  :o

OOH OOH!!  I second the 'hot blonde' motion!  Lol   Had a blast guys, as well as did my dad.  He may not ride a Monster, but he DOES ride Japan's answer to it!  Honda 919, flat black.  See, he still has hope. :)

Look forward to our next outing and at least a few more days yet of NO RAIN!!!!!!

I third the notion.

Good times.  [thumbsup]

Great to see everyone again and new faces.  [beer]

And as always, the infamous entertainer was well..... entertaining.  :)

GOod times. Slept pretty good afterward. Was still drenched out here when I got back, glad I didn't bother with riding.

Yah . . . well . . . I hope I didn't get too obnoxious . . .

Oh, and I think you need to send me the full size image of your avatar for review of the policies of what is and is not acceptable for posting here.  ;)

i missed out.....maybe next time.

Thursday.

5PM to whenever

Malone's - 1175 NW 185th Ave Beaverton OR

I'll probably swing that. We may even get riding weather for it.

I hope to bring 3 hotties . . . only 1 is single that I know of though

If anyone's interested... PNW Riders is having their usual gig at the coffee place in downtown Beaverton, the Ava Roasteria, starting around 7 tonight (Tuesday).  I might be there.  Depends on whether the roads are dry when I leave work.

Dunno about Thursday, I wouldn't be able to show up 'til prolly 7 or later, and won't stay out too late since I have to work the next day.  That... and I need to be careful about going out too much.  I've shot my budget all to hell in the past several weeks.  :P

Oh, perhaps I should ask first... what sort of establishment is Malone's?

It's just a bar. I know one of the billiards teams in my league plays out of there and they do not allow a team to play out of any establishment that serves anything other than drinks and food... if ya get the drift...

What he's trying to say in an uncharacteristically PC way is it's not a Titty Bar!  [roll]

Theres bars with tittys in them?

mmmm, I just had some wings from Fire on the Mountain, and now I'm drinkin' some homebrew. [drink]

Seriously... we should look into this claim. Whose with me on this one?  [evil]

I said Rabbit.  ;D

  [laugh]  I "got the drift"... but thanks for translating anyway.  [thumbsup]

Still dunno if I'm gonna be able to make it... I have a high-level Systems Design Review presentation I'm running on Friday, and I may need to be here late on Thursday to get it wrapped up.  :P

I'm picking up the beast from Motocorsa about 5:30 tonight, getting a ride from my bud Captain Kidd (black Triumph 675SE).

I can't go downtown without stopping at good local dive.

I think we will stop at the McMenamins there on 23rd.

Just a word up to all.  More is merrier.

J

i'll help

Hey BB . . .

Marleen says hi - you met at one of my outtings.  She was the second one I introduced as "Married, I got dibs, don't think about it."  ;D

She also says to not frustrate yourself by trying to save me.  She's spent the last 8 years trying and if she can't do it you won't  ;)

What's their deal? I saved you from spending that last $20 on Lilly when it was much better spent on Aurora.  [thumbsup]

Hi Marleen!

No worries, I have no delusions about "saving" anyone.  Besides, I'm not the one who does the saving... all I can do is point out whom the saver is.  After that, the ball is in your court.  [thumbsup]

-----------------------
Well anyway, with the presentation I have due tomorrow, and with all the distractions during the first part of my day, my guess is I won't be going out tonight.  [bang]

Tell Kristine I said "hi."  ;)

Y'all have a good one...

Wow . . . I'm gonna be on my own to get home safe . . . uh oh!

Call me if you need a ride.  ;D

So you can scare the shit out of me and sodomize me after?

 [puke]

I prefer death thanks  ;D

My daughter was killed by a drunk driver. You had better prefer sodomy.

Death by sodomy?  :o

I'm not gonna swing it. Have a few good ones.

:o


(http://www.bobandmike.com/soapbox.gif)
For reasons like this, I really, really, really do not like drunk drivers.  I do not care that they'll kill themselves... it's the innocent people they take out because of their selfish actions.  I have ZERO tolerance for that kind of BS.

An individual wants to eff up their own life?  Fine.  They want to eff up the lives of others?  Now we have a problem.


Take what I say with a grain of salt... I'm probably a little cranky at the moment because I'm stuck at work finishing this bloody presentation when I would otherwise be at a pub hangin' out with fun people.  [bang]

The blonde says hi.

Erica says hi.

The blonde's friend Sara didn't say anything but I'm sure she would have liked to meet you.

"Hi" (*waves*)

I was here until 11pm.  [bang]

Then...

the powers-that-be decided

they didn't know what they really wanted

so I get to do more work next week

and try this presentation business all over again.

Dammit Chuck, find me a blonde!  Hell I'll even be happy with a brunette!  Where is my blind date hook up!?  :P

Now that I know you're in the market . . .  ;)

Ha ha.  Again.  WOMEN only Chuck.  ;)  Although you're invited to EVERY party.  We need the entertainment, that's for sure!! he he..

Oh I know . . . I wasn't trying to pitch myself.

It's all good. :) 

I'm going to make a rare Portland visit tonight.  I'll be up there around 8 p.m.

Who wants to drink?  I'll be staying in NoPo, but can meet just about anywhere.

 [beer]

Going to the woodworking show Friday Noon at Expo Center if anyone want to tag along for that.  Guys and power tools... :D

Where're we going this Thursday? :P

yeah i miss hangin out with you bunch of lunk heads. When is the next get together?

How about somewhere with a pool table(s)?

I'm callin' out Ryan to a shoot out.  Here it goes:

Ryan - I don't think you can play pool, you ride like a pansy, and your mother wears army pants.   ;D

I'll put my money up, too.  Loser gets to buy Rowan those little baby construction worker boots and Osh Kosh overalls that are just awesome.

Bring it.

Okay... so I am playing you? And the loser buys an outfit for Desmo Jr? So... we making this a race to 3 games, a race to 5, or heads up just one game? As you called me out here... I don't feel the need to handicap the match and throw a few games. We could make it interesting and play it someplace with really crappy tables and nekkid distractions.... that way we even the playing field and both have to learn how the thing rolls. But hey.... your call... you set the rules.

That McMenamins we went to last time has pool tables and they put up with me there . . .

There's also that place Johny, Kristine, and I went to and then forgot to play pool . . .

Come on somone . . . make a decision.

Actually . . . Bendy posted the request he should choose.

 [cheeky]

I'm game for anyplace that's rated PG-13.  ;)  Or R for language.  If JD & RD wanna go to one of them there nekkid distraction places... that's their prerogative.

We've been to the Tavern & Pool a few times... and it's neat to mix things up every now and again... so where else can we get decent food, good brews, and has pool tables?

Dang... suddenly I'm craving a cigar, too.  Methinks I'll need to visit a tobacconist sometime soon...

Oh crap, that reminds me: Billy!  We never made it out to McMenamins Edgefield this summer!  :(

Crikeys man... how can you partake in only two of the three.... it is called the un-holy trinity for a reason.... booze, cigars, and boobies.  ;D

Hey.... I do agree with you on this one though... non nekkid places tend to soothe ye olde pocket book a bit easier than them other freely nekkkid places... cause nothin is free there.

There is always Rialtos, Uptown Billiards, or Ringlers... in the downtown area.

Alright, if Bendy don't mind, I'll make the call. 

Henry's - that's the place Chuck is referring to.  1 block up the hill from Powell's Books, about 11th or 12th or so, easy to find, just off of Burnside.

Ryan, it's you and me, buddy.  Bring your #2 pencil because school starts at 7:30 PM on Thursday. 

If you need a little boost to reach the table, I have a little foot stool in my garage you can borrow . . .  :-*

JohnnyD

Henry's sounds good.  I've heard good reviews, but never been there.   [thumbsup]

Drinks and foodage, starting 7:00-7:30pm Thursday at Henry's.  Sounds good.  [beer]

Yeah I mind! Then again, I was going to suggest the same place. So, screw it.

Henry's has an ice rail set into the bartop to keep your beer cold. [thumbsup] [drink]

Dude... you didn't just wake the beast.... watch out what you wish for.

I heard that (and quit pooping at church) we'll save it for next season  [thumbsup]

Looks like its on  :D

Hey there is also this place for billards and good food anytime... http://www.thegrandcentralbowl.com/grand_central

Yeah i know that place it is across the street from my normal watering hole.

What's the roll call?

I invited "The Blonde"  ;) and my cousin - she'll be uber excited about hanging with the cool kids.  And I'm trying to think of some loo . . . errr single women I may know.

Haven't forgotten you Brina - might be a surprise for you too  ;D

Ryan and Johnny you guys need to remind me to bring your Free Stuff.

Someone needs to invite . . . oh never mind . . .

Anyone going to be there before 7:30?  I don't want to sit in my cube waiting for this to happen.

BTW - I'm "behaving" tomorrow.  [bang]

 [thumbsup]

 [laugh]  Does she know that's her nickname?


Sorry... work sucks, and I have too much to get done to be leaving early.  I'll be aiming to get there between 7:00 and 7:30.


???

Chucks- I think I'll be there a bit early, 7:00 plus or minus.

I have to reacquaint myself with the concept of the pool table before Fast Eddie Felson (Ryan) shows up.  I have a feeling he's going to go medieval on me.  My modest goal is to sink at least 1 ball per game to prevent a complete and total humiliation, but I'm not holding out much hope.  That's what I get for poking the bear with a (cue) stick . . .

Oh, and this is your reminder to bring the free goodies.

see you there . . .

Nevermind.. got it in this thread Neikos. :)

I'll be there.  Looks like Thurs is my Ducati Crowd night.  WOOT!

Hmm, now to freeze one's titties or not?!?  The bike DOES need to be run, but so does the heater in my car.  Lol

I . . . you . . . ummmm . . . Ryan a little help?  :P

Am i going to be the only one there with a bike?

Is there bike parking in front of this joint?

cmon you sallys ride your bikes.

Sorry . . . not when I'm drinking.

I won't be drinking, so I can ride. :)  Again.. TO Freeze or NOT to Freeze, that is the question?!

From a purely selfish standpoint . . . freeze . . . and wear a nice tight t-shirt.  [evil]

Ryan . . . you had an opp there to save me from myself and you let me down.   [laugh]

Haha! Dammit Ryan, where is the love man?

Ok, after getting in the car this morning, woo eee! I'm cagin it. Even my titties wouldn't deal with these temps on a bike, and I'm from WI!! Laughing

Party poopers!  ;D

I just noticed the  [bow_down]  "Bow down" smiley.  Which is kinda humorous considering I am falling asleep at my desk... and noticing weird things on the DMF.  I can get there pre-seven. Anybody else there early?

Depending on when I get off of work, potentially.  But not sure. :)

My intent is to leave here at 4:30 and head over so I'll likely be there around 5:30ish.

Scratch that . . . I forgot this place is a ritzy ditzy titzy place and I can't afford to buy food there.

I'll stop at the golden arches or something on the way up so make my ETA 6ish.

I'll be there at 6:30 ish.

I need a drink or 2 so no moto.

they actually have a really cheap bar food (happy hour) until 7pm. Burgers and other things for like $2.50 when normally it costs $15 a plate. Chuck believe me eat there, its in the bar. We use to go there just for the happy hour food.

Okay!  I'll try to ride.  I need an excuse to *not* buy beer.  My discretionary spending needs to go down anyway.

Besides... the bike gets twice the gas mileage.

And... it's infinitely cooler to show up on a red/white Ducati than in a filthy VW (dang that poor car needs a bath...).

If they have Hoppy Hour 'til 7, I may need to split from work a teensie bit early, at least early enough to go get the bike and make it up there.

Sooooo... I need to get my derriere back to work so I can leave here at a reasonable hour.

where be the bike parking at that joint?

Downtown pdx... not a lot of parking for anybody.... there are a couple bike only spots around the corner though.

Hmm, wonder how foundation will look on the cheek pads?  [roll]

I'll probably ride. I hate trying to park my four wheeler anywhere downtown.

I'm leaving work now, hit the gym, walk the pug, <looks at watch> should put me and the moto down there by 7. Gotta see JohnnyD _own_ the billiards tables  ;)


Don't worry about the foundation just bring those popsicles you were speaking of earlier  ;D

Peace. See you there.. 7'ish -Billy

Lol, I'll see what I can do for you guys.

Whoever gets there early, GET an equipment table. Seems we'll be needing the extra space. :)

Sounds like at least 4 or 5 riders tonight!  Kewl.  [thumbsup]  I was thinking about parking... and decided I'm definitely riding.  Soooo much easier to park the Duc in downtown.

I'll be leaving work in about a half-hour... but I gotta go back to Wil-silly-ville to get Il Duce.

i got dealt. Couldnt make it.

My wife had to work really late, i had to pick up the kid. Shes just getting in now. im all sallied up now, too tired to make it.

Good seeing everyone - even if I was behaving.  :-\

Femme - LOVE you!  ;D

Oh . . . and limited access signs on a parking garage mean they lock the F'n thing up!  Took me a bit but I found the garage and it was all locked up!  Called the HOT Blonde to make sure she wasn't racing away and could come save me if I couldn't get in.  The phone # posted to call for service was scratched out by some punk ass mother make the beast with two backser so I walked around the building to find any indication of a human being or a phone # somewhere to call.  There was a keypad next to the door so I figured someone should be able to get in or at least open the door for me.

While I'm trying to figure all this out the door starts to go up and I see a car coming out.  I slipped in and got my car.

THEN I try getting out!  Can't find a key pad or nuthin!  I'm just about at the point of ramming the make the beast with two backsing door when I decided to breathe, relax, and walk about a bit.  As I get up closer to the door to check it a motion detector or something triggers the door.

YAY me!

Then I was on a one way street going in a direction I didn't want to so worked my way around to Burnside in the right direction only to be 1 block lower than I thought I was and completely missed my turn I was looking for.  Futsed around got lost, ended up in South East which as most of you know is how 90% of the time I get home from downtown - getting lost and ending up on the East side.

Finally got home.

Then couldn't sleep for crap.
 [bang]

Wow.... I can only imagine how it would have been... had you have been drunk.  [clap]

Poor guy.

It would have been a lot less frustrating!  I was 1/2 tempted to just go back to the bar and close it down and then call a cab.  Another 30 seconds of frustration at the garage doors and I might just have.

Reminds me of Austin Powers turning the golf cart around in the tunnel.

Damn Neikos! Sorry about the shady night. But yay that I rock! Laughin glad ya made it home, eventually. ;)

ha thats crazy, i know exactly what garage you are talking about.  Thats one hell of a crazy story!

Not to ask a lame question out of the blue... but chuck... did you create a DMF login for Kristine? The_Hot_Blonde???   [clap]

dog!!

I can neither confirm nor deny having any knowledge of said activity  ;)

That should've been "The_Haute_Blonde"

Good times last night boys and girls.

You guys are alright.  Yeah, even you Chuck (by the way - please note the correct spelling for "yeah"  [cheeky]).

Ryan, I enjoyed beating you at pool.  Me with a house stick and you with your fancy-schmancy 2-piece stick.  The other games I just let you win so you wouldn't cry.   ;D

Looking forward to the next one.

J

You mocking my accent?

NO Way, man!  No mockery whatsoever ever.

You are my homey, bro.

I blame Mother... :)

I want to go drinkin' dammit........

this time it wasn't my fault

ooh, I was in your city just the other night

I yelled you and g's name over the PA but nobody answered

I thought I heard a weird whistle in the air...  that explains it...  [evil]

We doin anythin on Thursday?

Where we drinking Thursday?

(fixxedet4u)

I'm heading to Walla Walla for a wine tasting weekend.  [wine]

How is Washington for wine tasting??

This is our first trip, but some of the best wine in our cellar comes from that region.  Cab, Merlot, hot weather grapes.  Lots of boutique wineries with very small production, not distributed, you have to buy from them.  We have been on a waiting list for Leonetti Cellar for 4 years.  Looking forward to the tasting.

My father lives in Napa, so we taste there a lot, and of course the Dundee / Yamhill area has great wines, but we keep talking about heading out to Washington. We love a lot of the Washington wines, but I hear it is more than just a 20 minute drive like Yamhill is for me.

Not that I would ever consider imposing my will on y'all but . . .

I won't be going to Henry's again.

My irritation with the waitress for asking if I had a preference of vodkas then putting it upon herself to give (or at least charge) me the expensive shit just irks me.  And it was loud, crowded, hip . . . and EXPENSIVE.  Contrary to popular belief I'm not a trust fund baby, I don't make oodles of money, and so I'm boycotting this place.

Moving on to your regularly scheduled program . . .

Chuckman-

Sorry you had a crummy time.  I'm sorry I suggested that place now.  I was just looking to play pool with Ryan "Fats" Dalling

I know what you mean about the prices at that joint.  That's why I just stuck with beers.  Can't imagine how much they charge for well drinks.

Next time, I vote that you call out the meetup.

Dude - no worries.  And you guys can all go there any time you want.

I wouldn't say I had a crummy time.  Just not the time I would want to have when I'm spending $  :-\

Besides, I don't think my choices have been group favorites either.

Heck - the last one I tried to put together it was Kristine and me for 1.5 hours.  Then she called her friend Sara to join us and after about another 1.5 hours my friend Erica joined us.

Mind you . . . I enjoyed the company but I was a bit disapointed that no one else came out.

And the time before that . . . I don't think anyone made it out . . .

We did Napa in April.  I have a few friends in the business and they set up appointments for us and kept us busy.  Only brought home 2 cases, most of the stuff is available in Oregon.  This trip will be a bit more  $$$$ if we buy.

As far as Thursday's go, the one time I was in PDX, nobody replied to a request to drink.   :'( :'(

Now that the crazy season is over, I may be up more often.  I was overnight in Portland twice in 2008.

i worked for winerys for years in Napa. Beringer/glen ellen/BV/MG Vallejo  for 5 years, commuted to Sonona/Napa every day.  Best wine/winery ever is Opus One.  Place is built underground. They do only one wine and they do it right. Cab. use to be about 12 years ago the bottles went for $100 a pop. Now just for a taste its $30??  Looks like they sell now for $250 a bottle. if you like cab though it doesnt get any better than this: 

http://www.opusonewinery.com/ (http://www.opusonewinery.com/)

Walla Walla has some AMAZING reds!!  Neikos and Ryan = Read - Red Wine, not Red Heads...

Pepperbridge, Leonetti, Walla Walla Vintners, L'Ecole 41, etc etc... You'll have a GREAT time!!  :)

Saw some of those on my long trip through WA this summer  ;D

I prefer Altamura and Round Pond to Opus One. However, Screaming Eagle is pretty good as well, but WAY over priced.

As far as Cab's go, I like the altitude.  Just about anything grown on Howell Mountain (look for that on wine lists).  We have a Pine Ridge in the cellar.  Hess is also great.  Above the fog line.  As far as Valley floor Cab's, Silver Oak is by far the best (I've had).  Jessup is across the street and is my kind of winery, pole barn and the owner lives on site in a manufactured home.  The money is spent on the wine, not the building.  He makes an awesome port style as well.  Now where the money is spent on the fantastic building and still great wine, we like Chateau Montelena.

That's just Nappa Valley Cab, don't get me started on Zin.  Oh, white zin is wine with training wheels.  Unless you are a lady over 50 and smoke Pal Mal, don't drink it!  Another exception would be going to a house warming party where they take the wheels off the house.

I think we will have to come visit you and talk vino all night long.  ;D   [wine]

Agreed!  One of the members at Broken Top gave me 2 incredible bottles of Silver Oak this summer to 'compare and contrast'.  He doesn't drink anymore and wanted someone to enjoy them.  Both were 94's, one was Alexander Valley and one Napa.  Both were incredible but liked the Napa better!  This is the same gentleman that brought a Methuselah of Mondavi Cab Reserve ('85) that he had purchased at the winery way back when for $500.  OMG was that fantastic!  Took every decanter I had, almost dropped it once (talk about pucker factor of 10!), and there was 2 decanters left at the end of the night that he told me to share w/ my staff as a thanks.  I poured it up, pulled the kitchen staff to the bar and told them 'thank you' for all of their hard work this summer.  Each glass was probably close to $100+ each... they about choked when I told them that... heh  THAT was a cool thing!!  And yes, I managed to pull the cork in one piece!!  :P

We bring wine when we go out to dinner in the "big city."  Saves us about $300.00 with 2 couples.  Yeah, I'm a foodie.  Anyhoo, when we bring in one of our best and the waiter knows it, we always pour a taste for them.  They love it, and remember it the next time we go in.

We had a bottle of 2002 Insignia one night.  Every who walked by the table picked it up to see.
http://www.jpvwines.com/release_insignia_05.html (http://www.jpvwines.com/release_insignia_05.html)

I just sold $3k in Insignia for 2 members at work.  Our cost was $150 a bottle at Post-Off pricing...  Haven't tried it tho..  :'(

All those wines you speak of is dish water.

For the good stuff, try night train.

Mad Dog 20-20 for me please... G will take some T-Bird...

Yes please could i have mine mixed with some sprite  ;D

Well Chuck, if it makes you feel any better, I concur on the assessment of Henry's.  Overpriced, too loud, too crowded, yuppiesville.

I prefer a hole in the wall where we can actually converse like civilized human beings, and shoot pool without waiting an hour or more for some corporate group to be done with their <snooty voice>reservation</snooty voice>.  [roll]

IIRC, Kristine said something to the same effect, preferring someplace lower-key.

Okay... we need to make sure we have a good turnout next time Mike is over here... poor guy was neglected last time.  Same goes for Marvs & Gracie.

So... do we have an official list anywhere of the good places to go?

OOOOHHHHHHH . . . a list!  There's a thought!

Did you guys do that Hopwerks place? How was that?

I'd be up for the Black Cat again.  That's a hole-in-the wall and not the dive I was told it was.

Ummmmm . . . that pool place on 23rd is OK.

Something new would be good.

Am I the only one wanting to go out TH?

That McMenamins on 23rd or the Uptown Billiards on 23rd.... cause Uptown is way super high price.

Whaz Uptown Billiards?

Awesome pool hall on 23rd... hot chicks... quiet... great food... but like 20 bucks an hour on the tables and very spendy drinks.


Edit: Total yuppy joint.

 :o

Any other suggestions?

Never been to the Black Cat, but some of my coworkers like it.

McMenamins Tavern & Pool on NW 23rd is a halfway decent standby.

I'd also be down for any other McMenamins locations with billiards.  Decent food, good beer, and I like the atmosphere.

Hopworks has good food and great beer, but I didn't see a pool table, and it can get fricken BUSY.  However, it's more "Portland" (read: wierd) than the yuppity Henry's.  I'd definitely go there again for food and brewskis.

Kelly's Olympian... cool motorcycle joint, good place to hang out, but I didn't see a pool table.

Chuck... what was that place we went to in Beaverton a few months back?  You, me, Ryan, and Dave.  They had shuffleboard, and I can't remember if they also had pool.  That seemed like a decent hangout, again with good food and beer.

Aaaaand, we see how limited Dan's exposure to brewpubs and pool halls is.  Silver Dollar is a dive bar, McFadden's is too... "clubby".  Dixie Tavern is **not** our kind of place.  I won't be back to Barracuda anytime in the forseeable future.  McMenamins Blue Moon... one or two pool tables, and ya might as well head up to the Tavern & Pool, otherwise a good place to hang out.

Oh hey... it's kinda yuppie-ish, but anyone else have an opinion on Rock Bottom in downtown?  I can't remember what the prices are like, and I've never seen the pool room, but I know they've got one.  May run into the same problem as Henry's... uppity wankers reserving the whole billiard room.

Yah, Rock Bottom has a nice pool room . . . but it's kinda like Henry's.

AND last time i was there they called the police to come and remove Baldo and me from the premises . . . not sure you guys can live up to that kinda experience.  ;)

What about Rialto in downtown PDX?  I haven't been there in ages, so I'm not certain of the pricing.  The last time I was there, though, the drinks were yummy and there were even hot chicks for those so inclined... not exactly quiet, but you shouldn't have to scream.

I remember liking the Rialto last time I was there . . .

That was Old Market Pub... over by my place... they got pool and shuffle board... and the shuffle tables are bigger and better than black cat... plus its stumbling distance to my house... and like two streets to Chucks place.... very easy cheesy.

You guys could always try Boiler Room

Other than that dark place in the basement of small town high schools that the custodian takes little girls to "Show them" something what is Boiler Room?

Karaoke bar, I like it. Karaoke participation is optional.

Ahhhh . . . maybe next time.

So I hear the following three as options:

Rialto
McMenamins Tavern & Pool on NW 23rd
Old Market Pub

The polls are open.  Vote now.

Oh . . . and roll call if you don't mind please.  :-*

GrandCentralBowl is fun.

I prefer OMP... but will probably show up anywhere... more so if there are nekkid ta ta's being shown.  [evil]

i like the beers on tap at the omp.

Where is OMP exactly?  Do they have libations other than beer/wine?  "Pub" would say likely not...

I got a root beer last time I was there.  Does that count  :P

It's a couple of blocks away from Warshington Square Mall.

All seriousness aside - they don't have a full bar - I was kinda looking forward to some Tequilla . . .
http://www.drinkbeerhere.com/ (http://www.drinkbeerhere.com/)

talk about tequilla.

I went to the madador on 23rd ave last friday, holy shit they have tequilla there for $100 a shot? Tequilla ranging from $7 a shot, $40 a shot, $60 a shot and yes $100 a shot.  That stuff better make me sprout wings and fly home.

Better include an orgasm too!

I worked with a pretentious prick at Intel.  Invited a bunch of us to his beach house one weekend.  Had some really expensive tequila - think he said it was $60 an oz.  Truth be told I didn't think it was any better than Cuervo and I can get like 4 5ths of that for the same price!

Oh, and yah . . . after he insisted on having us try it he asked us to pay him $ because it was so expensive!   :o

What an asshat.  I hoped you all laughed at him.

So if I'm reading this right we got Kristine w/1 vote for Rialto and Ryan and Dave both tentative for OMP. 

Any other votes or planned attendees?

OMP does have a full bar you renob.

Renob?

I called them last night and the hostitute said no.  One of you is lying to me . . .  :'(

Ok, so I'm wondering if this is for tonight?  I'll be honest, I don't want to put the effort into using my tiny scroll wheel on my blackberry to scroll through all the polling options. Lol. Hey at least I was honest right?!

Yes sweetie tonight.

Looks like we're doing Old Market Pub - http://www.drinkbeerhere.com/.

Let's say 7:30 though I doubt I'll be there that early.

Last time I was there we drank vodka drinks all night... so there... maybe their full bar doesn't include fru fru drinks ...  ;D

Woohoo! So there, it's near my house, how could I not show?!

Schweet.  OMP it is.  That's the one up in beaver-town somewheres north of Washington Square, right?  Last time we went there it was Chuck, Ryan, Dave, and myself?

7:30 it is.  I'll probably be there later as well.  This test schedule at work is ramping up... not gonna be pretty.

Correctamundo!

That is about 10 miles from my house.

So I think i'll just go home.

Attendees:
Ryan, BB, Me.  MIA - Femme and Saltlick

BB - 2 words for you: Geeky Hot, w more words for you Chicken shit.

Ryan - 3 words for you Manage et Chuck!

That's all folks.

Oh, and Femme . . . that's twice you let me down.  Don't let it happen again  ;D

AND here's the link I was telling you about for Charlie Brawn:What it Would be Like if Charles Schulz Did Crack http://www.llamas.org/brawn/ (http://www.llamas.org/brawn/)

Not necessarily bad but not necessarily work safe either.  My fav is "Call Me Sir"  [thumbsup]

Ummmmmm . . .

... uh... let's just rename that "The Big Bang"... On second thought... I uh... I am backing away now... slowly... so as to not startle the wild life.  Take the bacon... go ahead....
 [bacon]

RUN!!!! Chuck is on the loose!!!

I may not have won a game but dang I made you two work for the wins!  ;D

Saltlick got stuck at home with a sick kid and wife.   Saltlick needed a beer too, and wished he could have gone.  Saltlick is losing his mind and talking about himself again.

Once but twice?  C'mon now mate, where's the love!!?  Lol

Glad you guys had a good time..  I mean what else is there to be expected with this group eh!??

Exactly my point!  Where's the love?  You were supposed to come cold tittied and tight t-shirted last time and didn't and this time you didn't show . . . you're breaking our little hearts (well for those of us who have them)  [evil]

LMAO..  omg!  Ok, yes well I'll work on that.  But you know there ARE women in this group.  The wet t-shirt might not work well in mixed company.  Lol.

 [laugh]

Some of the engineer/geek/math/physics pick-up lines I was trying to remember last night:

I like #15  [laugh] [laugh]

OMG I have actually used some of those.
  :-[

If its stupid and works, then its not stupid. 8)

I'm drinking tonight!

I need one as well... a very large drink...

How about a flaming Dr Pepper?  ;D

If we're gonna go there . . . an Irish Car Bomb?  [cheeky]

mmmm, LOVE the flaming dr. peppers!  just gotta find bars that don't mind lighting things on fire.  LOL

I like my eyebrows and facial hair too much to drink those.  :P

Thanks, Mr. Smart Ass... :P

My staff left me alone on Saturday, I was obviously very upset, but yesterday I heard things like, "The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire... let the MF burn", "Anyone up for some Smore's?", etc...  was quite funny actually...

So NO Flaming Dr. Pepper... Crown did just nicely w/ some Coke Zero (2 very tall ones)

Waiting to hear back from insurance agency still on what they're going to do about the car...

Marvel... sucks about the car.... Let us know if we can help in any way.

Thank you my friend!!  The adjuster is going to look at the car tomorrow.  I had it towed to our VW mechanic to see what he thought of it's salvageabilityness and stuff.  In the mean time, been looking on Vortex for another car (yes, want another GTI) and found a couple.  So basically in a holding pattern... good times... :)  Curious to see what State Farm is going to give me for the car if they total it, etc.......

y9u lpregnant doges left me to my own accord.

I'm SO f'n drunk.

At elast I don't have to drive . . .

Next week lets do doemting so I don't have to pathetically drink alone.

I heard good things about this place for Happy Hour....

http://www.golddustmeridian.com/ (http://www.golddustmeridian.com/)

and they have a nice website... mmmm.... boobies...   [evil]

Note to self - read entire post before clicking on a link from Ryan at work.

Looks like a neat place.  I'm not sure they serve my kind there . . .

From the lemon wedge count . . . 16 shots of tequila last night  [puke]

I think i have been to that bar, after i turned my grant in.

I remember looking at that painting all night. 

good lord.  :o

dude.......

I was at the bar

it was right in front of me

i was referring to chucks 16 shots of tequilla.  ;D

16 shots is tall tale for a man

with a liver

in as poor shape

as his.

  [cheeky]

(i know poor shape is an understatement)

Got no reason to lie.  Why you gotta do me like that?  :P

mess with chew

sounds like a painful ordeal...

was it one of those nights where u swear u will never drink tequila again?

No.  But TODAY . . . when I'm feeling like the hangover is just kicking in . . . I'm thinking it's the last time I drink tequila!

Nothing like running a chainsaw and stacking wood when you have a headache, bending over makes you dizzy, and you feel quesy!  :-\

I've been there.  The food was good, and the drinks....  Well I was drinkin' beer, so I can't claim to know how the drinks are.  But the beer was cold. [drink]

The painting! :o


The place is kind of a hipster hangout though.

*sigh* I say that every time...

We doing anything Thursday?

+1

I'm not gonna be doing anything Thursday.

Except work, that is.

This week sucks.

Wasted half of one of my test sessions on a photometry setup that decided it didn't want to take any light measurements today. [bang]
(We have to verify that the manual and auto brightness controls on the HUD work correctly)

Tomorrow we'll be trying the photometry tests again.  Oh joy.  Then I have CPR training in the evening.  All this will interfere with picking up my PC parts from Newegg that are supposed to arrive at the apartment.  They'll be locked away in the office until I can go get them during business hours.

Wednesday I have a dentist appointment in the morning, so I have to switch to the late shift on the test bench, which means I'll be here until some gawdawful hour.  Aaaaand... I still probably won't make up th time lost for the morning appointment.

So Thursday... I get to make up for the time lost to CPR training tomorrow and Wednesday's dental appt.  Lovely.  [puke]

By Friday, I'll be lucky to remain conscious for the entire workday.  I'll cross that bridge when I get there...

Somewhere amongst all this I have to get to the apartment office during business hours to pick up my computer parts.  Then I have to actually build the d**n thing, make sure it all functions, so that I can get $70 worth of rebates in the mail.  Gotta make sure I don't have to return any of the crap, first...

So yeah... if y'all go out on Thursday, have fun.  I could make it to a Friday night gig if'n y'all want to push it out a day.

Hello?

<hello>

Is there anybody out there?

< . . . there>

hi.

For any of you that may be in town......

Equinox Holiday Party
Georgetown, Seattle
December 13th 6-9pm (or much later....)

The building where I've got my office space is throwing a party! Art specials, music, free booze and food. We had a great time last year, look forward to it again this year! More info to come as the date gets closer. For those of you traveling in for the IMS this is a perfect destination afterwards as it's just down the street. For those of you attending other events such as the Toys for tots drive, this is the perfect stop off before!

Elizabeth

*invite ALL your friends

/me waves...

Count me out for Thursday.

I think a couple of my coworkers and I will be at Mixers on Hwy 99 on Friday for happy hour.  Open invite... but beware, it's kinda a geek crowd.  ;D  We work on airplane displays all day, so we're kinda... unique.  Like the NW DMF group, but different.

Dunno exactly when happy hour is at Mixers, or when I'll be done in the lab, but as soon as I can get outta here Friday afternoon/evening, it's time for a drink.  :P

This week has sucked... I'm exhausted, and it's only Wedneday.  I hope I can stay awake long enough to get through tomorrow and Friday.

Sweet Mary mother of Jesus!  Did you see that Asian chic? 

Proof that god IS a man!

You work with a seemingly nice group of people.  It was good meeting them.

Statement is useless without pics.

 [laugh]  I think the better question is: who didn't notice that asian chick?




They were glad you made it!  I've told stories about DMF rides and gatherings, and they're more than happy to have new people show up.  Kinda bummed you had to take off early, though.

Oh, and we gotta have Ryan come out and shoot pool with Dave, one of the guys who was there.  He's played league, and does the same kind of table-running that Ryan is capable of.  That'd be a fun matchup to watch.

Yah . . . I got to go home to a sick Wifezilla . .  not fun  :-\

Little update with the flyer:

Send me off to NYC in style! Would love to meet some of you finally! See some of you that I already know!

(http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f150/elizabethraab/ENRDec13th.jpg)

That's creepy. I like it!

lol, that's totally why I like it too! She manages to look like a mix of a bike, alien, and a hot chick!

I may make an appearance, where is said event taking place?

and what happened to Plan-B?  Did Jeff leave?  I heard something the other day, and honestly have been out of the loop so long, have no clue.

Are you talking about my event? If so, just down the street from the IMS, address is on the image....

Elizabeth's in Seattle homeslice, your kicked out of Seattle aren't you? Plan-B is no good, no Jeff.

what happened to Jeff?

He went to one of Miss Raab's parties and know ones seen him since. 

Allegedly he was squeezed out of the partnership at Plan-B so I boycott it now along with most who know. He worked for a short while at P-Town Scooters but now no longer. Sad to say his baby, a beautiful SS900 old-school w/square headlight type (so mid '90s) is now for sale at Cheshire's shop and Jeff would not want to part with that bike unless times were really tough. It's really nice with a lot of custom work done.

If you go to Plan-B you will likely get herpes from touching anything in there so don't ever go there.

Plan-B officially boycotted by me.

cheers.

Wow, I will have to get the skinny from someone.

Thats to bad, I thought his business partner was his bed partner as well.  Who knows.

that place sucked anyway, the only good thing about it was the movie they played on the side of the building. As for the service/atmosphere it was a dump.

I think that was the point

the only thing I liked about the place was the parking

and it wasn't ever crowded

Sara made me KILLER margaritas!  75% tequila, a blended mix I've never seen before . . . Oh and she only charged me for about 2 out of every 7 I drank.   [bow_down]

The best part about Plan B was the lack of strict accounting on the tab.  Quite a few times they forgot to add drinks to my tab, so I always gave them a big tip. [thumbsup]

Goddammit people make up your minds do you like the place or not?

We hates them precious

Wow - no posts on the Drinking Thread since 12/9.  We're getting way too nancy-fied here, folks!

Does anyone want to get together for a New Year's Eve beer/burger/pizza/whatever?

Not a midnight thing - just normal time - then skeedaddle home.

I'm not sure how likely to happen the new year's day ride is looking.

Anyone?  Buehler?  Anyone?

Unless the weather changes, i think im out on the ride. So far it looks like its rain city next Thursday. 

I'd be down with a Last Meal of '08 and a beer or two, you bet! I hear ya guys regarding the New Years Ride if weather is nasty. I drove around today and the roads are tore up, chains and gravel everywhere. Besides... my Ducati is detailed clean and on stands in my living room  ;D Looks like a piece of art that don't need to get dirty in this filth. Oh but it can, and will if need be.  :)

What say you to Thursday night?  Where?

Mmmm... beeersssssss......

I'll be drinking rum drinks in Barbados on Thursday.  :-*

Sweet.

How long are you going for?

Do you dive? The west side is supposed to be full of great reefs.
I keep thinking about going there, but always end up in Cozumel since I can stay there for free.
Not that I'm complaining, Cozumel is a great place, but it would be nice to see other places.

Have lots of fun.

and he's bringing us along! Such a great guy...

Thursday sounds good... provided the cold that I'm fighting doesn't win between now and then.  [bang]
