Get-together

Damocles said:
Who wants to see if we can get a group discount? Desh, when is the off-peak season in LV? That's when we should be able to get the best deal both on flights and hotels. What about off-strip discounts? Can you help us out planning something like this with advise?

There are local casinos all over town and I wont need to use a hotel. I can give advice but dont know more than what someone can find on line.

I Dont really know what I could offer in this line.

Maybe checking it out in person to make sure its clean and nice.

No damn desert. if anyone was willing to meet in the mountains somewhere around the Colo/NM border, then I could get behind the idea.

When those area's have the capacity for drunken debauchery that Vegas does, then that might be a good idea.

Until that time arrives however, it's Vegas ho I say!
 
There's way too many douchebags in this forum to want to meet in person. It would be like visiting my family in Massachusetts except I wouldn't recognize anyone.

SWEET! Now we KNOW SM won't show up! And that means his cabal won't either. It'd be perfect.
 
So I can talk guns with Al, bees with Damo, have a cigar with Soc, tease the USC & OSU fans about their football teams, and listen to WM rant and whine?

All in person and over a fine beverage?

And without obnoxious interruption? Count me in!

During the late 90s I was participating in a chat room. Every so often we'd plan a get-together in order to meet everyone. For example, there would be "meetings" in Pa., NY, Las Vegas, Ontario, etc. usually at a hotel. There were other "meetings" on the west coast, as well.

So, anyone think that would be a good idea for this group? Political discussions and a few beers would guarantee a great time! :cheer:

or a bar fight. Either sound fun to me! :)

That was exactly why I said we would have to be careful. But I think those who make the most noise would probably either not show up or would be much more meek in person.

I've been to several of these "get togethers" and it is interesting to see how on-line personalities match up with the "live and in-person" personalities.

As for me.....I'm the same asshole in person that I am on-line. :gives:

On balance i think it's worth the gamble that if somebody ends up in a shallow desert grave it'll be somebody that i don't mind hearing from again. No names obviously.

Damo...it may be worth putting the valuable spade concession stand out to tender.

Bloody Limey! It's Vegas! It's 110 degrees during the day and the ground is roasted as hard as concrete and you think you're going to bury someone there with a spade?

No wonder you guys lost the war. You brought spades when you needed pick axes!!

You see Charver there's a simple beauty to the lowly ole pick axe. Not only can you bust up rock hard ground but you can bust a few heads too!

Sheesh Charver, you need to get out of the cold northern village a little more often! :pke:

Spade concession and perhaps sell someone a few bags of lime.

Naaaa you're as bad as Charver. It's dessert out there. You have naturally occurring alkaline soil conditions. You won't need no lime. Besides, you have an ample supply of my colleagues in the waste management dodge out there to help manage any remains.

A shovel works better. The lighter weight and longer handle make it easier to make contact with your intended target. Once you have it stunned then you can choke up on the handle and give a nice hard swing to crush its skull.

Spade = Shovel
Lime covers the scent of a rotting corpse.

Although if I were selling them I'd have a beer concession next to it, digging graves is thirsty work.

See Charver? Now that's a prime example of Yankee ingenuity! Thank you Damo.

Ohhh Don't forget the pick axe concession. They would be much more practical, as I pointed out in my previous post, then a shovel.

That's closer. Maybe I could combine it with an Agility trial.

We're not very agile Thorn. It's all this time we spend sitting in chairs, in front of our computers, arguing about politics. Besides, were really supossed to discussing politics.

You just don't want to spring for the flight you cheap bastard. Come to Vegas, I"ll buy you your first drink but you gotta promise me to stop by JR's on your way to the Airport and pick me up a good Cigar!!

Well though there is a certain artistic beauty to that technique all you would really need to do is swing down hard, at an oblique angle, with the edge of the shovel and hit the junction of the neck and shoulder and it would be lights out forever, but be that as it may, the shovel would be worthless for bustin up that rock hard sun baked dessert soil. Been there done that. You'd have to have a pick axe.
