The 2009 State of The Forum Address

To The Loyal 77 Well folks, This time last year, the forum was a buzzing beehive of hilarity, tangents and ridiculosity. Now we seem to be suffering from abandonment. In short, a lot of people have left us, and very few new people have joined us. The PFC seems to have disbanded, with Vicky being the sole contributor. Sarcky shows up once in a blue moon and Alex has vanished. We haven't heard from Leo in weeks (Has there been a horrible Disaster in brazil we haven't heard about?). Effen does all his posting on the same day, Brother Bill hasn't been around in a while, and the Main Blog's Contradictors show up only sporadically. So What happened folks? Did we peak too soon? Did we run out of jokes? Did we all sober up? Is there a L77 killer out there somewhere? Did Dave snap and go on an internet based killing spree? I don't know what happened, but contrary to Frank's post the other day, I don't believe the Forum is dead, it just needs a dose of silliness and debauchery to get back on it's feet. So; Who's up for Strippers and Hotwings?

Well, we've officially bottomed out.

I'm not dead yet! :quiet you:

Been busy. The Halloween show I was in didn't turn out. So, after I got through with that and then survived being in a friend's wedding I've basically just been enjoying chillin.

said nihil on October 25, 2009 12:53 AM.

I'll bring the strippers, you bring the hot wings. Let hilarity (and maybe some nakedness) ensue

said Vicky on October 25, 2009 1:23 AM.

Pablo, as the philosophers say - you can't step in the same river twice.

I'm not sure what that means but , I dont' want to re-live 2008. Fuck 2008. (2009 aint so hot either afaict).

said E on October 25, 2009 4:25 AM.

By all means, Let time roll on, Embrace the future, and bring the funny!

Vicky, You bring the strippers, I'll Bring the Hot wings, Now we need someone to bring the baby oil...

said Sheriff Pablo on October 25, 2009 11:59 AM.

All I have is tweezers, duct tape and a gross of 9-volt batteries.

I'll bring that.

said Tim on October 25, 2009 12:12 PM.

We'll need a magnifying glass and some steel wool. Anyone?

said Tim on October 25, 2009 12:13 PM.

Will S.O.S. pads work? Also, I have a case of Bic Lighters and 2 packs of Pall Malls. Who's bringing the Beer?

said Sheriff Pablo on October 25, 2009 4:49 PM.

S.O.S. pads will work, as long as we don't use the batteries until AFTER the maple syrup has diluted the soap from the pads.

said Tim on October 25, 2009 5:16 PM.

Well of course, that would be a fire hazard otherwise!

That reminds me, i need a new set of jumper cables.

said Sheriff Pablo on October 25, 2009 8:56 PM.

I'll bring picanha and beer and we'll have a barbecue! Also I'll bring your steel wools Tim.

I've been quite busy these days, and I wanted to post a similar entry talking about how quiet the forum has been these days too.

But every time I saw the blank spot where I should write my post, my brain went all the way like that box. Blank.

I still read the few posts here, and take a look at the blog via the feeds, but most posts have videos and I can't watch them here at work. And when I'm home, I have plenty of stuff to do, so when I sit down in front of the computer I can't remember what was I going to do there.

Uh, indeed there's something happening down here Pablo, but it's on Rio de Janeiro. There's a kind of a civil war happening there, between the drug dealers, the cops and the (non official) paramilitary forces that grant safety in some slums. It's more than 300 miles from me, but it's something.
I wonder if they'll have it finished before 2014 (Fifa World Cup)... or 2016. Things are nasty there right now.

said Leonardo Carvalho on October 26, 2009 6:47 AM.

I bought a whole case of bubble wrap that I'd like to bring to this party. It should go very nicely with the syrup.

said Vicky on October 27, 2009 11:13 PM.

Perhaps this site should reconsider its readership and again allow random visitors to comment on the material without commitment. Now I realize that the forum is reserved to subscribers, but stifling interaction from visitors simply makes this a one horse site like any other.
IMHO the value of this site is 30% content, 30% presentation from the Contradictors, and 40% colorful commentary from the random and loyal.
Without the random, YBNBY is like unsalted corn chips.
Again that's just my opinion.

said Chad on October 28, 2009 8:48 AM.

SP, I'll bring the baby oil...I bought the Sam's Club pallet months ago...that's how I keep escaping crate life so I can handle the rest of what life has thrown at me (grateful for it, don't get me wrong, but it would be nice to be bored for just one day)....

and I have to argue with E....2009 has been a good year...as long as you don't pay attention to the economy.

said sarcastic one on October 28, 2009 11:28 AM.

With Great boredom, comes great sarcasm. That's why we haven't seen you around here lately huh?

Keep havin' fun out there where the fiery ball burns the eyes. I'll Stay here in my living room with the curtains shut.

said Sheriff Pablo on October 28, 2009 6:26 PM.

I am almost sober.........make'em subscribe, yo?
Privilege, has it's place.

said EffenIdontcare on October 28, 2009 11:00 PM.

What day is this????

Same day?
Damn, he's right!

S.P. ...... Psychic Extraordinaire!!!

said EffenIdontcare on October 28, 2009 11:29 PM.

Holy BeeJeebus Effen, Were you bored?

This is why you shouldn't Drink and Post People!

said Sheriff Pablo on October 29, 2009 6:38 AM.

its not a party till theres a hot tub filled with rum and soda. (word from the wise :sober: ladies dont get in the rum and soda filled tub, it burns)
Not that I would know >.>

said Evangeline on October 30, 2009 1:55 AM.

Evangeline... these are words of a experienced girl... What's good for us. Having someone who already know all the protocol to make a good hot-rum-soda-tub will help a lot.

said Leonardo Carvalho on October 30, 2009 7:04 AM.

how about a hot tub filled with long island iced tea? the fumes alone would get you plastered!

said Sheriff Pablo on October 30, 2009 10:22 AM.

I love long island iced tea....but not for bathing, Sheriff. That's just silly!

said Vicky on October 31, 2009 1:18 PM.

who said anything about bathing? issue everyone large mugs at the door and point them to the hot tub.

said Sheriff Pablo on November 1, 2009 7:32 AM.

Second round we'll have sake in the hot tub.
Sashimi and hot sake are just great to make your night warmer AND hotter.

Been there. Done that. Seen the movie. Read the book... and... uh... you know what I mean.

said Leonardo Carvalho on November 1, 2009 3:37 PM.

Hot-tub sized sake bombs.

Sounds like something to do for the 2012 Olympic debauchery festival in Rio.

said Sheriff Pablo on November 2, 2009 3:51 PM.

Deal.

said Leonardo Carvalho on November 2, 2009 6:55 PM.

I am sorry, Sheriff.....sorry, Scaramouch.

Posting...Fail.
Jägerbomb....is not my friend.

Will someone please, get my face off the forums??

said EffenIdontcare on November 2, 2009 8:48 PM.

sake bombs? I'm intrigued. definitely need an education in those

said Evangeline on November 2, 2009 10:35 PM.

Get a Glass of beer, place 2 chopsticks across the top of the glass, rest a shot of warm / hot sake carefully on the 2 chopsticks, then slam both fists onto the table to either side of the glass, dropping (bombing) the sake- shot into the beer, then slam it.

4 or 5 of those, and you'll be feeling pretty good!

said Sheriff Pablo on November 3, 2009 6:29 AM.

I've been there with tequila instead of sake.
I'm gonna try it. I have half a bottle of sake in my bar, and beer is always present on the fridge.
This weekend I'm gonna be nobody... hahahaha

said Leonardo Carvalho on November 3, 2009 5:20 PM.

Don't forget the chopsticks, it's vital!

(Also don't choke on the shotglass. I almost did that once)

said Sheriff Pablo on November 3, 2009 6:32 PM.

It's a risk. I can't promise anything after the 5th shot.

said Leonardo Carvalho on November 3, 2009 9:11 PM.

Sake bombs! Wow! I've never heard of such a thing. I can't to try those out on New Year's Eve.

said Vicky on November 4, 2009 11:07 PM.

Dang, Vicky
No need to wait until New Year's....
Just tell the bartender you want a, Jägerbomb, he will know and after 3 or 4 we will see YOUR "Wonder Woman" all over the forums!!! You will be giving up secrets, you didn't even know were secret!!!!

said EffenIdontcare on November 6, 2009 9:50 PM.

Who votes for Vicky taking sake bombs right away, raise your hands!

_o|


Btw, no sake bombs yesterday. The restaurant I went--and won't be back to that shitty place--had neither shot cups nor pint cups so it could make room for the bomb.
Gotta be at home, but not this weekend, unfortunately.

said Leonardo Carvalho on November 7, 2009 7:21 AM.

*raises hand*

Ok, but beware, my secrets might be scary!

said Vicky on November 8, 2009 11:45 AM.

Whose secrets aren't scary?
That's why we keep 'em secretly hidden.

I've done things that would make all of Tim's fur fall down from his body at once. But when we're on a table drinking and laughing on each other, some of my darkest secrets may rise, just for the sake of the laughs.

said Leonardo Carvalho on November 8, 2009 9:21 PM.

good point....so are we playing truth or dare? Cuz if so, I choose dare =o)

said Vicky on November 11, 2009 1:16 PM.

I dare you tell us your secrets. ahahahah

said Leonardo Carvalho on November 11, 2009 2:26 PM.

hahaha, cheater!
