Connecticut Moron Meetup
— LauraW

So, we're talking about doing one. Next month. When the weather here in the Northeast will still suck mightily. It always seems to be cold when we hold these things.

Date and place yet to be determined. Some folks are talking Fairfield County? Yes? Eh?

Connecticutian Morons, please visit the yahoo forum and put us some knowledge.

We need more ideas for the party.

So far we have only one idea, but it feels like a winner. Daryl T. came up with it and he's a genius.

Content warning for language.


SIGH. We always have such a nice time at these things.

Please get that mutated orb's gaze off me.  I assume you're doing that with all 3 of your eyes, but 2 are blocked by your prodigious humps.  Didn't you take any hygenic suggestion from your latest flame thread? We were just trying to help.

President Obama has appointed four members to the bipartisan deficit commission he established last week, an administration official said.

The appointees are: Andy Stern, the president of SEIU; David Cote, the Honeywell International CEO; former Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Alice Rivlin; and Ann Fudge, a former Young & Rubicam Brands CEO.

21 Ace -

You need to rip this poll to shreds by doing the voodoo that you do so well...

http://tinyurl.com/ybskp8g

link goes to lib group Research2000

Heres one question:
If the Senate passes a health care reform bill that you consider to be beneficial to your family, would you object to the Senate's use of "reconciliation" rules to pass that bill with a majority vote, or not?

Yeah, it is that bad.  This poll has been used by all the lib idiots this morning.

Sorry for OT guys.

22 " Looks like we morons in the Midwest don't seem to be of the 'meetup' variety."

Where are you at MacTavish?  We're trying to organize a second Suburban Chicago meetup in a few weeks.  If anyone is interested, drop me a line at themoocow AT gmail DOT com, title "Moron Meetup".  We're looking to make it a regular thing (monthly maybe), so times and locations will change to accommodate more people.

29 I can do a meetup anywhere in or around Ohio. I'd love to re-visit Chicago, but that's a little to far for this purpose. I would like to keep my soul, tho.

30 OT but did anyone catch Rush leading off with the seminar callers thing? Friggin' hilarious!

It was excellent. Loved it when Carville tells the turf minions to drop and give him twenty. Hehe.

We are all in deep cocoons this Winter. Or they hate me. One or the other.

49 My vote is for Eli Cannons in Middletown or the Griswald Inn in Essex...If memory serves, the following happened at the last pre-meet-up summit @ Elis:  Dave in Texas blacked out from acute whiskey poisoning & face planted in his place of discarded hot wing bones, Gabe's Spaniel urinated on DrewM's leg & LauraW was found having a her hump vigorously stroked by a party of frat boys.

Good times...

One good reason for the Democrats to refuse to do a scaled-down bill is that they'd have to share the credit for such a bill with the Republicans. Apparently it's better to have no bill at all than to have one that helps the American people but punctures the talking point that the Republicans are strictly obstructionist.

O/T:  Dear Carl Levin.  Those reading glasses riveted to your face do not hide nor distract from your homliness.  We aren't fooled.

Now, if you would care to try a string tie.  String ties have been proven to distract all attention away from an ugly face, making one appear beautiful and young.

Bow ties do a little of the same, but they haven't been certified by the Ugly Senators of America.  And for good reason.  Look at Charles Grassley.

63 vagabond trader, I'd be happy to have an East of the River CT meetup one of these days. I just have to get my ensemble together so I won't be hassled by the natives.

I think my coonskin cap is still in the back of the closet, and I can probably borrow a 1986 pickup with one pink door...

O/T:  HA linked the story about the new iceberg that just calved off an Antarctic glacier.  The article doesn't say a thing about why large blocks of ice are deemed to be jewish.  Neither does it address why none are referred to with the name suffix -stein, "icestein."  Until some logical consistency employed, I will continue to use the Polish suffix -ski.

Some people really might not expect a biker ho and bicycle bro party to be that  entertaining. Let me disagree with you right away and inform you that this party theme is golden—well itÂ’s mostly black leather and spandex, but thatÂ’s all good. Moronettes must arrive at the party dressed as biker hoÂ’s while Morons must show up as bicyclists, as closely resembling Lance Armstrong as possible (except with two nutmegs).

Lauraw's boys get to dress scantily clad in spandex, revealing so much and yet so little at the same time, and get drunk while wearing helmets. Everyone wins!

And, because girls are dressed as closely to biker dykes as possible, lesbian experimentation is pretty much inevitable. Once again, everyone wins!

86 Carin, it's not going to be a great big one I don't think. We're having trouble just getting the CT people enthused.

I will certainly try for this one if'n I can scrape enough money together not to be declared a vagrant. Fairfield County counts that as, what, a thousand in your pocket or you're a hobo? Is that the rate?

I think my coonskin cap is still in the back of the closet, and I can probably borrow a 1986 pickup with one pink door...
