— LauraW UPDATED: Location chosen. Maybe. Looks good.
-----------------------------------
CT Morons are violating natural law crossing state lines to visit with our frosty Northern brethren!
Looking good for November 13th in the Boston area.
Venue to be announced on the CT Moron messageboard later on. If you aren't already a member, please email me for an invite.
If you haven't ever been to one of these, let me assure you that these meetups are always wonderful. Your friends here are just as funny and goofy in real life as they are online. If you can possibly make it, don't miss out!
Interested? Here: ctmorons AT gmail DOOTCOOM, just fix the anti-spambot formatting and drop me an email.

Oh Gawd, Ben, whhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyy!
Pssst. I'm going to whore this out until next Friday, sorry in advance!
SW Ohio morons, we're meeting next Friday 7pm ish at the Drawbridge on I-75. Exit 186.
This could be a complete shithole. If so, blame Ohio Dan

20 The weather up here being what it is, it will likely be the last meetup until next Spring. We've had Winter meetups before, but it's harder to get a decent sized group together then.
Why? There's no snow anymore! I proved that!!

I'd be into that. I wouldn't mind driving further than Lancaster either.

I'll bring all my hunting rifles. They'll take my .308, the same weapon which provided me with a doe and a nine-point, only from my cold, dead hands!

With that said I"m going to go O/T: a bit cause I'm really confused. I just read this: "San Bruno police have declared the area crime scene. The National Transportation Safety Board said Friday that it has sent a four-member team to San Bruno to investigate." link
My gut reaction is NTSB? crime scene? what? Thought it was just a gas line explosion?

I'm thinking of driving up to see you guys. I was reticent to go to LauraW's cause she seems like such a nice person and I remember thinking when she put up the post for a barbecue at her house and then invited "everyone"...I thought to myself, "my God, she invited everyone and she is so nice, they're going to go so you better be nice and not go" I know what that like, when you have an unabashed "come on over everyone moment" and then when 200 hundred of your closest friends show up you are both exhausted but exilerated the next day....but it's a hard thing to do, a huge amount of work.

they cut the ribbon, take their novelty check and then go to the nearest check cashing store, which is conveniently located next to a liquor/porn outlet.

Actually it's kind of OK. There are a couple bars though so he needs to a tad morer specific.
(FWIW..that's Exit #186 off I-75 in Northern KY. If you got off 186 in Ohio, you'd end up somehwere around Toledo...and that would not be good)

As I was watching that online last night all I was doing was praying. I felt so bad.
Thanks for clarifying that. Wow the NTSB has a lot of responsibility.
Now, could you please explain why they classified it as "a crime scene"?

Wyatt,
I read a comment from you last night that you lived near the Nabisco plant where the Keebler elves had the shoot out last night. I am originally from Northeast Philly too. Went to Hallahan and dated a few Northeast Catholic boys. How is the old neighborhood? Has it changed much?

To me both are horrible cause weren't we supposed to be fixing "infrastructure"? Doesn't a gas line constitute infrastructure or does that just mean bridges and roads and buses and rails?
Last night I read about some poor guy who had gone to an open house at his kid's school and as he was going home he saw the fire. His kids were home doing their homework, on the other side of the fire. The reporter never let you know whether he got to his kids and if they were ok.

It was actually broken out into several parties, the main one being a picnic at a park hut. Not at my house. Hey, I love you guys but...I have to be able to sleep at night.
If you had the chance to jump in before I closed down the invites, you shouldn't have missed it!! We had folks come in from CA, there were lots of Texans, CO, PA, RI, etc.
And everybody just kind of clicks.
At the end of the last night we ended up having an impromptu party out of a van in a hotel parking lot that was funny and nuts. We were there until we were well into the small hours. A local cop came to check on us a couple times and he ended up pretty much joining the party.

Great, Mimi's going to be ten that day. My kid.
I work in NYC (tug boat capt) two weeks on/two weeks off. Moron meetups in NY are always while I'm on the tug.
I keep a small yacht in Essex, CT on which my family and I stay during the summer. The CT moron meets have all been whil I'm at work in NYC.
I live in northernmost Maine where I am likely the only moron available for meetup during winter when I'm there most.
And now a Boston meetup on my time off and, it's my kid's birthday.
Sheesh.
