Also: Miguel at his new iMac

Hey Chef, check your hotmail!

Let's do drinks in New Orleans!

Well, it's easier to understand than the running stock ribbon on Bloomberg or MSNBC.

All that monkey needs is an editor to fill in the gaps and tidy up the prose.

Good fun, Cold Chef - thanks.

P.S. Have a sazerac for me, you two!

As for your link about my imac (brrrr...) I'll have you know I bought special dusters for it and have even purchased a low table to set my drink, ice-bucket and bottles upon, lest the slightest lemon zest ever reach its hallowed innards.

I am, however, unsettled by your association of monkey typing and mine. So, to impress you I went googling and here is a small example (please scroll down) of how seriously I'm taken in Germany.

Große, Sybille, "Sprachliche Fixierung von Frauenbildern in den Arbeiten von Miguel Esteves Cardoso", in: Axel Schönberger (Hg.), Geschlechterdiskurse in der modernen Literatur Brasiliens, Portugals und der PALOP, Frankfurt/M. (TFM, Domus Editoria Europaea) 1996 (Beihefte zu Lusorama, Reihe 2, Studien zur Literatur Portugals und Brasiliens, 11), S. 155-164

Not difficult, I know (everything sounds impressive and gross in German) but still noteworthy. ;)

kaf and chef hangin' in the big easy? Whatever bar you two are in is gonna be ass-deep in repartee. Oh to be a fly on a bar rag...

Augh! I totally forgot that you were coming into New Orleans this weekend.

Okay. I sent you an email back.

Now if I can just talk my students into working a little overtime this weekend...

I went to New Orleans last year for New Year's. Mmmm, that was fun.

Hey, I was in New Orleans last New Year's too! You might have seen me...the one with the beads?

Oh yeah, I think we made out.

Coool...

Aside: what are those drinks called...the frozen orange ones with everclear in them?

I'd like my fillings back, please.

what are those drinks called...the frozen orange ones with everclear in them?

I don't know about you, but I call them "trouble."

I can't even stand the smell of "Hurricanes" anymore. I've wommited too many of those purplish-pink rum bombs in my short, short life.

I'm sorry, you're fillings are now part of my Nefarious Plan for World Domination.

That monkey typewriter link is what I use to write my site. Cut'n'Paste baby, cut and paste.

Buttle?

Hey, the Hurricanes were the only thing keeping me warm down there since there was a cold spell and none of the bars had heat.

Buttle.

Ok, as much as I fear the Big Easy, I still think we should plan on a big 9622 meeting there sometime when it's not mardi gras or halloween, or any other amateur drinking weekend. (The beginners, they just annoy the pros.)

I vote that we avoid Bourbon street altogether, plan on having dinner at Bayonna (Susan Spicer is a goddess in the kitchen), and later we can all have our likeness drawn by strange people in Jackson Square, and finish up with begneits(sp?) and latte at dawn.

Besides, the baby has decided he doesn't much care for the evil daystar much more than either of his parents (he'll either be a programmer or a musician), so we can just tote him along and introduce him to the truly weird night crawlers that exist in NO. ^_^

Or, we could all save up and go visit Miguel and his new Imac. ;)

You know...in the French Quarter, I bet we could get a good price for a healthy child.

Not that I'm suggesting that we sell your baby on the black market. No, no. I'm just suggesting that we could.

But, baby selling aside, I'm down for that.

If Apple know what's good for them, they'll release a limited edition migMac, with velvet surfaces and erogenous mice.

As for baby-selling, bad ideas can make a lot of sense at 3am when you're drubk and the money runs out. Just a warning.

You could always tie a string to the baby and just yank him back when the mark turns to walk away.

Repeat until rich.

If Kafka & ColdChef do meet up, pictures are REQUIRED. Don't worry, I won't make any risque comments on body parts.

There's just something special when 9622ers meet up. Am I right walrus & roobarb?

. . .

Hello?

*cough*

Is this thing on?

But she might do somethin' freaky with yer monkey. Just a warning.

Poor Koko is still having adjustment difficulties.

*praying that K doesn't do anything freaky with my monkey*

Pray hard, chef. I fear your monkey may be in imminent danger. "This monkey...it's getting heavier, Sam."

It really bums me out to hear of these impromptu 9622 meetings, and I'll tell you why: I live in fucking Utah, of all places, and NO ONE LIVES ANYWHERE EVEN NEAR HERE.

Thank you for your support.

Oh, also:

Check out the Onion story about cat breeding.

That is all.

Crash, I had no idea you cared all along! I usually end up in Utah a couple of times a year (against my will, I might add).

I think you should move to Portland. There aren't any jobs here, so you wouldn't be put out by that whole "making money to feed the family" thing, and you and I could hang out all day in some little bar somewhere, drinking PBR and bitching about how monkeys never seem to collect on the left coast in large numbers.

Oh, yeah. A 9622 New Orleans meet-up. I'm in. And after we get beignets and lattes at dawn we can eat breakfast at that really sleezy diner on St Charles (the other side of Lee Circle) with all the hookers and pimps!

We're not interested, thanks.

My, look at how skillfully we all avoided mentioning the cat breeding post....

My wife and I are talking about a trip to NY this year. Won't some monkey show us the cool places?

Cat breeding.

Oh. Oh dear.

Then...that means the Eyeball Kid I saw was...

Bwahahahaha!

we sure will.

Did it get darker in here?

My wife and I are talking about a trip to NY this year. Won't some monkey show us the cool places?

Well, it depends on what you mean by cool. Goneill can obviously show you the best places for drugs and anarchy, jonmc can show you the best places for junk food and rock n roll, liam can probably show you some arty British flavah, and I can show you the dive bars where women whip men with prosthetic legs. Obviously I mean the women are using prosthetic legs as whips.

What'll it be?

And for gawd's sake, Evanizer will open up a WHOLE NEW WORLD for you.

I'll take prosthetic legs for $200! Oh, wait, I'm not going to NY. I guess I'll just have to dream a little dream.

Cat breeding? Oh dear, indeed. And no, no selling the baby. I like him. :)

No-one could afford a specimen that perfect.

Mostly, arty British flavah consists of prosthetic women with drugs and whips. I do have a thorough knowledge of which NYC bars sell PBR, if that helps.

I don't know about the boss, witchy, but I'm interested. Go on.

Of course, while witchy's flailing prostheses about. I shall be frying up Mars Bars while The Mighty Hannibal plays in the backgroup. Goneill will chop fat lines while raging against the state, and adampsyche will bodycheck everyone into the boards.

All kidding aside, eyeball, if you do hit the Apple, set aside an evening. I'll take you on the Jonmc Gustatory/Musical tour of Lower Manhattan, that will please your ears and punish yer gullet.

Isn't that diner called the "St. Charles", too? If it's the same place I'm thinking of, the cops hang there also. When you guys are drunk I'll take pictures of ya'll passed out on the Henry Moore sculpture in the sculpute garden at Lee Circle. Trivia: Why does Lee face north at the Circle?
And by the way, I will not go to NO during any season but winter. I much prefer the Portugal idea.

jonmc--when does the punishing of the mullet take place?

Are you in LA too, anathema?

Why does Lee face north?

Ok, I'm guessing here, but in case the war of northern aggression starts again, they won't sneak up on him?

Close. Never, ever turn your back on the North.
Which is crap. No kaf, just spent some time there. I'm a Yankee.

jon, my bestest friend just gave me a copy of the killer afrobeat record I have been on and off trying to track down for over a year. you are going to L-O-V-E it!

Let us know, EBK. I'd be up for swingin' up that way to meet up.

Heh. The mullet was executed back about 1992 although I was one of the few who could rock it with style I tells ya.

Sounds cool, anathema, I'll prolly be hittin' the apple on monday, and I think I'll pick up this Texas Funk CD I've been hearing about, mebbe I'll burn it for ya and well make it an even swap.

The old Orleans ain't bad, but I still feel incomplete for never having visited the New.

Being there with ColdChef and Kaf (and all the nonkey-lovin' brethren) would be bliss. I remember, about a year ago, proposing New Orleans as the ideal location for a 9622 rally.

Hope it's still on the cards!

It's not a great picture, but it's worth at least 1000 words.

Curses. My photo mojo is off. Lemme try again.

Wow! Lemme tell you, I am envious! Did you guys actually go inside, or was it just a good photo op? Either way, I raise my glass to you both. Cheers! And tip the girls well; they're hard-workin' lasses.

Now why would anybody want to watch dancing tabletops? But the sign says "topless." I'm so confused now.

Not to mention, when did Drew Carey dye his hair black?

Check that out! You handsome devils.

And the practical side of me is also pleased with the advertised "moderate prices."

And is that a tropical drink umbrella behind kaf's ear? I feel safe in presuming that there were deee-licious beverages consumed...but neither of you are wearing pasties, so it must not have gotten too ugly.

The spot near Kafkaesque's ear is a trick of the light.

So is the neon bar sign over our heads. We went to a church instead of bars.

Ah, to have been there absorbing the repartee of the two wittiest monkeys.

Tommorow, me and Lisa shall be doin' up the big apple. We shall have a fried candy toast in your honor...

Side trivia
Are you in LA too, anathema?
Close. Never, ever turn your back on the North.
Which is crap. No kaf, just spent some time there. I'm a Yankee.

A Californian is Yankee...

We went to a church instead of bars.

The house of worsh of the White Porcelain Gods?

That was cool, Kaf & CC that you two hooked up.

nice to shitpost on me....server

....house of worship..

I guess I've been away so long, post preview look the same to me ;P

Yay! Kafka & ColdChef! Bottomless dancing!

A note about posting images:

We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys wearing dresses or programming for Linux. But posting images that reside on someone else's server is considered by many to be bandwidth theft. Our thoughts on the matter, along with some solutions to the problem, can be found here. Thanks.
