Here's a thought.
Okay, my only rule is that after this weekend, when our TV is shown to be safe and in one piece you are all kindly asked to let that joke die. We will have a formal burial for it.
(But also, YAY!)
"I refuse to let you use my own words in context against me!" -Daily Show
I will only accept this under three conditions:
- You are serious, and there is a formal burial for the joke.
- I am allowed to, for one last time, retell the epic tale of the TV.
- Jim plays Amazing Grace on the bagpipes.
(I’m willing to negotiate on the last point.)
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
Yes! It can.
I will even think up a eulogy!
And I am down for #3 but that might be out of our ability.
"I refuse to let you use my own words in context against me!" -Daily Show
Well
I have made my demands, and will stand by them.
(mrskishi is looking forward to it, too.)
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
Also
if we’re going to have “Amazing Grace,” can it at least be this fantastic version by Victor Wooten?
You are both wrong, for I, SOCO, am the BIG Anime Fan!!
I'll have a shot, if someone can provide the bagpipes
Or failing that, a small child, approximately 9-to-12 months. They both make similar sounds when blown into and squeezed, I’ve found. Though you may find it difficult to locate a tartan baby.

mrskishi just spent a month working with plaid fabric
I’ll see if she’s got some left over from work.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
Negotiate?
What about Scotland The Brave? Or is that too cliche?
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
What?
I ask for Amazing Grace on bagpipes and you wonder if I’m worried about something being too cliche?
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
When I said I was willing to negotiate
I meant something like “Well, okay, not just Jim, but Jim leading an eight part band” or “We can include a flyover by F-16s” here.
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."
"Based on Bugs giving Daffy Duck a cigar made out of dynamite?"
Can we
project the joke into space in front of the entire crew, like in The Wrath of Khan? Or have an Australian woman singing a requiem in some weird language, like in The Two Towers?
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
We'll see what's within our budget
"The conflict is representative of the Darwinian struggle between avians and mammals for dominance."

What if
you destroy the TV again though? OH, THE HORROR!

me the heebie jeebies every time, and I don’t even hate bees.

I am so there
Literally. I built a time machine, and am posting from the future. It’s awesome, but you grab some more chips next time you go to the kitchen. Thanks.

Well, as part of the inaugural group,
I suppose I’d best be there again. Maybe I’ll be in more than one picture this time.
Yay!
We have a snazzy and functional camera this year so pictures ahoy. ;)
"I refuse to let you use my own words in context against me!" -Daily Show
And
I’ll have a laptop, so I won’t be left out of the commenting!

As NOT part of the inaugural group,
and as someone who finds the Scottsdale Wine & Cheese Club distasteful…
I’m all over this.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
All over
more pictures of Azreous or coming to SOCOFEST 09?
You are both wrong, for I, SOCO, am the BIG Anime Fan!!
Probably both,
as I’ll bring my camera.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
I dunno
if you’re camera’s tall enough. Azreous is a tall dude. Like, we had to make a sunroof for him.

Hah!
I’ve done it before.

I’d better fly out snakecharmer to help me bring down the average.
Plus, Jim will be there.

No steps at all
the only thing is the one or two inch door frame. Even the curb is rounded, it’s the easiest thing ever.

It’s a non-California thing. I’ll show you what I mean if I come. :)

Well,
I’ll have to do something with all the crap in the back of my car that’s piled up since the last time you guys rode in it, but it shouldn’t be a problem. Throw in a few bucks for gas?

So… I can’t make the commute from NJ, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be on the party planning committee!
I have great ideas… really!
#1: The Pigpen mud-pit wrestling match (AZBOMBERS vs. the party)
#2: Pin the eyebrow on CoJack
#3: Rauch and Augie chicken contest
#4: The Russ Ortiz hot dog eating contest
#5: The Callaspo slapping contest
"Say this much for big league baseball - it is beyond question the greatest conversation piece ever invented in America."

Also, I’m worried about #4. What if Russ Ortiz eats the other contestants??

I had been talking to mrskishi about going to see “Legally Blonde” that next week, maybe I could combine both a socofest and Broadway into one trip. . .

Hmm.
I’ll think about what exactly, but put me down as bringing something. I’ll bring down some of the local Flagstaff flavors, like…um…
Well hell, all anybody eats around here is pot.
Also, I’d be perfectly okay with burgers being the meal again. But I’m always happy to put away a few burgers, so I’m biased.
What about
some pine cones? We could make a nice pine cone stew…

Unfortunately
I’ve been given very clear instructions on it.
You are both wrong, for I, SOCO, am the BIG Anime Fan!!
I am preliminarily interested
By “preliminarily,” I mean I very much want to go but have two complications:
1. I live in Tucson and don’t drive
2. I always work weekends
Oh, and the third forgotten complication is that I’d have to figure out what to do with my dog that day. So put me down as a totally solid maybe.
We are naming our kid Emmetalie if we ever get one. The middle name is going to be Baseball. Does that work for you, hon? --Growing Up Cullen
Well
assuming that ‘Skins is coming AND has room in his car, I bet you could hitch your wagon to his. But that’s assuming you had the day off and could get someone to look after the doggie.
You are both wrong, for I, SOCO, am the BIG Anime Fan!!
I have
5 seatbelts, but really only 4 will fit comfortably, so if Zephily and luckycc are coming, then that’s probably about it for the Tucson crowd.

I’m disappointed about missing Snakepitfest, so I think I’m going to ask for that Sunday off. As long as my request is approved, I’m in (I should be able to find someone to Champ-sit for me). If it’’s ok with ‘Skins, I’ll come up with his group – I just have to remember to call my mother and tell her I love her before I get in the car. :)

Meh.
I’m more flexible than Wesley. I have no problem folding myself into the backseat of Phil’s car…plus, like he said, with him driving, the driver’s side back seat has a ton of room. :-P

The disturbing thing
Was watching Police Women of Broward County the other night, and they had a bust of a drug dealer operating out of the back of a 7-11.
Let’s just say, the bags he was using for his product looked more than a little familiar… We both burst out laughing when we realized that.

It seems
everyone wants to bring desserts, so if there’s a side dish you really want to bring then that’s cool.

I feel kinda bad
because I’m probably going to be bringing something dessertish as well. Then again, I’ve got a bit more of a drive than most folks do, so a lot of other stuff is off the table. So to speak.
I am almost positively a no :/
It is very very doubtful I fly down just for the weekend, BUT…. I haven’t given up hope yet, we’ll see.

"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
oh.
Sorry bro. These are American meatballs. No pasta sauce or alfredo sauce etc. I use American sauces etc.
I laugh until my head comes off.
Pssshhht.
Everyone knows the only true gangstas are Italian.

I think
There are a few Yakuza, Triad members, Colombian cartels, Yardies and free market entrepreneurs in the former Soviet Union who would like to discuss your views over a cup of tea and your kidneys.

Fine,
so long as I can bring my Tommy gun.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Can I bring doughnuts?
Or just other Snakepitters?
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
You don't
have to bring anything, only if you feel compelled to do so.
You are both wrong, for I, SOCO, am the BIG Anime Fan!!
Awww....
now I feel guilty for NOT bringing stuff.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Honestly
I’m more surprised everyone wants to bring stuff. And since you’re driving people, I think that kind of takes you off the hook.
You are both wrong, for I, SOCO, am the BIG Anime Fan!!
No, soco, I'm Catholic, see?
That’s how it works. Now I feel guiltier.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Yeah, Soco...
you see.. Catholic guilt is much worse than actual guilt. :-\
And people say I'm cynical, they never want the truth but life will have more twists and turns than found in any book....
And Catholic guilt
is DEFINITELY worse than Jewish guilt.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
This is true.
And people say I'm cynical, they never want the truth but life will have more twists and turns than found in any book....
Though probably not
Jewish mother guilt. I’d go with that FTW.

Dammit
now I have to cater the whole damned event.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Sure thing.
Just as soon as my monthly deposit from my trust fund comes in…
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
I was
lucky enough to have 2 shots of that at Donovan’s in Phoenix.
I laugh until my head comes off.
I don't like
taking shots of good liquor. Seems like a waste.
(Except tequila)
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
well
they poured it over ice etc. i just treated it like a shot because im a drunk.
I also had patron platinum. It wasnt all that tho.
I laugh until my head comes off.
Yeah....
I definitely like good tequila better than crappy tequila, but the “really good” tequila is not worth the price.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
I enjoy me
a good Jameson, too.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
I mma
gonna take a shot of something at Soco-fest, just you wait. Maybe I’ll go buy a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue just for the occasion.
You know how you get to Carnegie Hall, doncha? Practice.
In that case,
SocoFest will be the awesomest, but not soco.

Mrs. 4 Corners Fan
sends her regrets for this lovely invitation. Home and duty calls that weekend, However, using the interwebs, she will follow closely along with any genteel discussions of the festivities.

Welp,
the car death makes it more likely that I’ll miss this, but keep me down as a yes for now. Supposedly I’ve got tickets to the all-you-can-eat dealie at the ballpark the night before, which is appealing to me in a number of ways — but it also means I’ll try my damndest to find some kind of ride.
Is he fat?
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Man
That’s the second lamest thing I’ve heard about the all-you-can-eat section.
(First lamest: That they don’t include nachos. C’mon, dude, really? It’s 18 cents of tortilla chips and some liquid cheese.)
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
Either way.
They’re deliciously disgusting. Or disgustingly delicious.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
What time
does socofest begin, by the way? Emily’s asking me, and I don’t have any idea.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Game starts at 1:10
I’m probably just going to camp out in front of the soco household starting around Friday afternoon.
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
This seems
like a great idea.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
Should be fun
And since it’s late September, the temperature should be down around 100.
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
Bump
in case anybody needed to talk about it more. ;)

I’m sending out an email today about the time and address.
You know how you get to Carnegie Hall, doncha? Practice.
matthewlopez19@cox.net
and please ladies, dont email me pics of you cleaning or cooking or being hot cuz im already taken and she will smack me so super hard. i know it’s going to kill you inside but please.
I laugh until my head comes off.
So
It’s cool if us guys send you pictures of us cooking or cleaning?
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
Cooking and cleaning ?
Heck NO.
Send me pics of your best Rauch face. If you cant physically do it then find an ugly, maimed dog that was recently rescued from a war zone by a not for profit, war zone, dog rescuing organization of Northern Sri Lanka to do it.
I laugh until my head comes off.

I think
I’ve got a ride to Phoenix arranged for the weekend. So that’s good. Just gotta get from Mesa to north Scottsdale now.
Where/when exactly?
And where/when do you need to be back? It may not be too far off the route from SnakePit Towers, if we take the East 101 up there.

Around Val Vista and University
And the back part might not be necessary. I’ll know more by Thursday.
Crasher category?
Valet parking?
Dog deposit detail?
Dunk tank?
Come on , work with me here…
Ya know...ignorance really IS bliss.
Well - I do , anyway.

I suppose you can take Wes’ seat, since he’s unavailable to come.

You know how you get to Carnegie Hall, doncha? Practice.
Ive been given the ok
to bring 10-12 rowdy as hell mini schnauzers, a box of assorted mice and a Los Tigres Del Norte CD.
I laugh until my head comes off.
I'll bring the dipping sauce

Yippee-ay-yay
Mini schnauzer burgers!
Wait, what?
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
*posting from a car parked near your place.
not gonna tell you the color or make of the car tho. *readies mini schnauzers.
I laugh until my head comes off.
I don't think they need to know the color or make
They can just tell the cops “It’s the one with all the mini-schnauzers in it.”
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
Actually, as soon as we gave 'Skin the address
We have had the cops at the ready. ;)

Great
Last year, there were concerns of human sacrifice. This year, there will be concerns this is a sting operation.
"I can't accept and won't concede that this is who we are..."
Just
don’t bring any illegal Pokemans cards, and everything will be fine.
You know how you get to Carnegie Hall, doncha? Practice.
There will be crayons.
(It is levels of sad we will not address at how totally true this statement is. There are crayons. I am looking at them. I might have been coloring with them moments before this post.)

I don't know
but sometimes it’s better to be in the dark. That’s what I’ve learned from a year of marriage.

Thanks a lot, socos!
