Scumstorm 2011: Fabio's Revenge (August 25-29, 2011)

[ReaperCharlie]

Ok.

[Ythill]

I have offered to teach them how to busk gas.

[Sudo_Nym]

And I can teach you how to hold up a convenience store, if cash is the issue.

[animorpherv1]

You two should so start up a teaching buisness for little children.

[Oman]

Thanks Oman, wrong thread? We are very much looking foreward to your visit, btw

<3 I am so looking forward to seeing you guys and getting a little awkward but then having a great time throughout microbreweries.

[Ythill]

Your sarcasm is misplaced, ani. Everyone should know how to busk.

[SocioPath]

Sudo's thread is misplaced.

[Sudo_Nym]

Sudo's thread is misplaced.

Which one, exactly? The one that indicates I may attempt drinking heavily at Scumstorm, or the one that indicates that I may attempt to blow Ythill?

[SocioPath]

or the one that indicates that I may attempt to blow Ythill?

That thread isn't

yours

.

[Miyu]

Just FYI.
My bosses are going white water rafting this weekend for his birthday.
So I can join in only the afternoon/evening portions of Saturday + Sunday. With Later evening for Friday.

Also, I have 6+ canvas camp style chairs and one canvas cot which can be used for a bench and/or bed if you want.

[Sudo_Nym]

or the one that indicates that I may attempt to blow Ythill?

That thread isn't

yours

.

It is now. I have taken the thread over, by virtue of my amazing countenance. Guys, Part 2 exists to service me; and all other threads will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

[Ythill]

Thanks Miyu, I'll let you know if we need them. Xine found some chairs at her work and I'm waiting back for the word whether we can borrow them.

RC and al have officially backed out of coming to hang out with us. We should belittle them vehemently, or something.

[ReaperCharlie]

RC !+ Ythill =
RC !+ Brandi =
RC !+ Andrius =

RC !+ Internet Stranger = ?

RC and al have officially backed out of coming to hang out with us. We should belittle them vehemently, or something.

If either of them are going to skool, it could be compared to a skool expense.
And the debt they go into for a weekend isn't bank busting.
And social networking is just as, in not more in some cases, important as a silly degree.
The cost ratio of skool versus meet up, means they are actually wasting more money long term by NOT going.

But when they live their lives to the end, they'll look back think to themselves, "I'm glad I saved that X amount of dollars by not going to a meet up dedicated to one of my favorite sites to visit online. I feel fulfilled."

[ReaperCharlie]

But when they live their lives to the end, they'll look back think to themselves, "I'm glad I saved that X amount of dollars by not going to meet a bunch of random strangers from the internet who probably have bad breath anyways. I feel relieved."

Fixed.


But yea seriously. This is something I really wanted to go to...

[Internet Stranger]

Then sack up and show up. You will regret it if you dont.

The worst memories I have in life are the ones where I didnt do something for whatever reason. I would gladly trade in a couple hundred bucks to get a chance to redo those experiences.

And dont forget about the dancing girls.

[ReaperCharlie]

It's not about the sack. I've got plenty of that. It's about the moneybagg$.

Unless you are willing to pass a hat.

[Internet Stranger]

Only if you were a dancing girl.

[Ythill]

And dont forget about the dancing girls.

Our stripper neighbor has invited Xine to amatuer night at the club she works at, which happens to fall on the 21st.

RC, I already sent you busking tips. The other option is hitchhiking. If you stay on I-5, there is no reason it should take you longer than two days to get here (probably it will only take 1) and it's

free

Troll really be pretty unsure how ReaperCharlie plans to day kill Troll if him no be there (maybe him just be that good a shot?) Troll also no thought that a pirate would let something like gas money stop him from doing what him wanted.

Just goes to show how much Troll no knows.

Actually in terms of serious advice, Troll no knows how much gas would be but Troll wonders if bus tickets might be competitive price-wise. Perhaps Troll be more willing to use non-driving means of transportation that most but the busses be fairly cheap and pretty reliable last time Troll checked.

[Ythill]

Hitchhiking

was

serious advice. Sooooo much better than Greyhound. Cheaper too.

[Zorblag]

@Ythill, Troll no thinks that it wasn't serious advice, but it also strikes Troll as a fair amount of work. Of course Troll be pretty lazy and hates people. Troll no be sure what price thresholds be involved so Troll simply be presenting other options.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

[Ythill]

Ah. See... I misread your "serious advice" qualifier.

Here is all of the work involved in hitchhiking: carrying a backpack, holding your thumb in a visible position, carrying on an interesting conversation, and

maybe

doing some driving. So, yes, more work than sitting in a bus, but not by much. Also, the Cali-Portland I-5 corridor is the easiest hitch in the country. By far.

But yeah, I suppose bus tickets would work as well. Too bad the Green Tortise isn't running anymore. It was a SF-Portland express (101->26) owned and operated by hippies. Basically a party on wheels with cheap ticket prices.

[Zorblag]

@Ythill, yeah, Troll meant serious compared to the rest of Troll's post. It no was clear. Actually, it be the carrying on the conversation that Troll had in mind as being the most work; Troll really doesn't enjoy conversations with random people but Troll would feel obligated to do so in a hitchhiking situation if the person who picked Troll up seemed to want it. Troll probably comes across as somewhat friendly at times on these forums but it be mostly a facade.

Troll knew of the Green Tortise though Troll never took it. Troll be sad to hear that it be defunct at this point.

Well I know of at least one person planning on showing up that refers to themselves as being a sociopath.

Facades are what this site is built upon.
