Likely a silly and stupid idea but...

Let's have a Barbe-party and get loaded online!

Yes, it could be like a Lateshift thread, but the requirements would be that you have to be sitting at your computer and drinking some kind of alcohol (preferably in copious amounts). So we'd have like, a drunken sorta' get together for Lithers who might want to hang out together and drink, but can't get together to do so.

We could maybe do it this weekend or something.

Anyone interested or is this merely daft?

Hate to pop your bubble like this but most people in the lateshift thread are drunk when they post!

the cat's iao

Pop away. Like I said, it's likely a bit silly. But I mean, it'd be, like you know, a planned thing as opposed to, "I'm a little licked let's see if anyone's about." This way, you'd know peeps are about, and they'd be gettin' all hammered too...

Sounds great then. I wonder if it will start "if you drink, please dont post" campaigns across the world. That would be fun. We should also have a Barbelith drinking game. Infact I think Ill start one in creation.

You're kidding, right? WIth all the barbe-crushing and huggling that goes on here? It's a regular Hellfire Club, I tell you...

So, I see this absolutely friggin' brilliant idea has the mass appeal it deserves, eh?

Well I think it's a good idea. Although I'm usually plastered when I post anyway, so it's a matter of convenience.

the cat's iao

00:19 / 02.07.04

Heh. I don't think I've ever been drunk and online, but then again, I don't really drink all that often.

So, looks like for you and Keggers it'd be a "matter of course" thing. Geez, you two would drink me right under the keyboard then...

Saint Keggers

00:44 / 02.07.04

Um..yes...quite possibly. Its been awhile since I've done any serious amount of drinking though so you may be some competition.

But I'm quite sober now.

Well, Kegs & others, I'm drunk and drinking, so what's up?

the cat's iao

01:28 / 02.07.04

Well, I'm tryin' ta decide if this "having a drinking get together online" thing is gonna' be a go or not, but I guess you're already one step ahead...I was thinking about Saturday as a good day to give it a try. Can't really drink tonight 'cause I gotta' get up at 5:30 am to go to work.

Indeed, the gun has been jumped. Though I am occasionally loath to admit it, a large portion of my Barbelith posts are indeed drunken as a rule.

Have as you WILL, then.

So, cat’s iao, I can’t figure it out. Are you actually going to buy us all a drink? Why, I’ll gladly get drunk with you if that’s the plan. Cheers. How are you going to work this, shall I PM you my address, so you can post me a quart? And the rest of the Barbe-boozy contingent do the same? Or perhaps you could start a ‘Wandering Hip Flask’ thread, down in Creation.

Thanks alot BH! I nearly spewed all over the keyboard as a laugh overtook me!

the cat's iao

02:36 / 02.07.04

Not that I wouldn't gladly offer you a drink but, um, I kinda' figured it'd obviously be a BYOB thing--considering the "virtual" aspects of the get together and all...

Saint Keggers

02:43 / 02.07.04

We need to write to various breweries and ask them to sponsor/supply us. We could post pics of their logos to advertise.

Bed Head

02:46 / 02.07.04

Heck, if they’ll buy me a drink, I’ll get a tattoo of their logo and then post a picture of my tat online. All the better to reach the most jaded of hipster demographics, my dear. That’s a big market, lot of money.

Saint Keggers

02:53 / 02.07.04

Dear Sir,
Your posting of a photograph of a tattoo of our logo is considered copyright infringement. Your posting of a photograph of your ass featuring a tattoo of our logo is considered just plain sick. Please refrain from doing so.

ps. We also do not plan on using the video you sent us of your "ass bottle opener."

I hope its one of those two. I was sure he meant the music group which did the song "Rythm is a dancer". I was soo afraid.

Why are those card-playing children soo jaundiced? Shouldnt they be looking for a cure instead of casually wasting their days playing cards?

the cat's iao

03:53 / 02.07.04

Maybe they failed out of "rocket surgery for the gifted child" and now they are too disappointed to continue to pursue a career in the hard sciences, so they instead waste away the days playing cards?

Saint Keggers

03:59 / 02.07.04

Wasting away playig cards. Stupid kids. DOnt they know they could be wasting away in margaritta ville, looking for that lost shaker of salt?

the cat's iao

04:02 / 02.07.04

Nah, they're washed out gifted kids: they've never been within five hundred yards of booze let alone knowing how to mix a margaritta!
