January 10, 2003 : So These Monkeys Walk Into a Bar ...


Okay, so a monkey walks into a bar. A nun says "I'm sorry, I couldn't help noticing. Aren't you a monkey"? The monkey orders a tequila shot. The bartender says "Hey. Why don't you grant three wishes to the next person who walks through that door?"

The monkey says "You better pet him first, he looks mean."

Okay, so I'm sorry about the "Bye-bye, losers" crack in the other thread. To make it up to y'all, I hereby declare this the Official Tell Us About the NYC MeetUp Thread (and give us your best bar jokes, or bar stories, whatever).

People have said these things about that :

Which "bar?" I know a good one about an estate planner.

and pictures, dammit!

I just got home and I'm about to fall my crazy ass into bed, but all I gotta say is people do some sick shit to a primate...and we have pictures to prove it.

*very mad at my school's scheduling now that I missed it*

you get my e-mail, jon?

Although I enjoyed the latest Spike Lee Joint last night, I was sad to miss the MeetUp.

Instead, I subjected myself to Deja vous filmography, bad facial hair, and enough white people to blind me.

I want some colorful pictures!

A set of jumper cables walk in to a bar.
The bartender says, "I'll serve you, but don't start anything."

A sandwich walks into a bar.
The bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve food in here."

Two hydrogen atoms walk in to a bar.
One says, "I think I've lost an electron."
The other says, "Are you sure?"
The first replies, "I'm positive."

I said best bar jokes, tizzie. Like this one:

So this Irishman walks out of a bar.

Posted by: yhbc on January 11, 2003 10:26 AM

I stopped by for about 2 hours and chatted with songdog, languagehat, jonmc, andrew raff, chicobangs (tony), witchstone, lizs, choire, cowboy_sally, evanizer, riffola, the michael the, metrocake, goneill, and I'm sure others that I didn't meet.

I know riffola and metrocake and evanizer had cameras.

Posted by: Gen on January 11, 2003 10:45 AM

Sad sad sad I am to have missed it. I'll really have to make the next one to repent.

Posted by: ryan on January 11, 2003 11:07 AM

You were sad, right, until you read my three really hilarious jokes, (above) and then you felt a lot better!

I knew it! My jokes rule!

Posted by: tizzie on January 11, 2003 11:09 AM

Yay me, yay me, yayyyy meeeee!!!!

Posted by: tizzie on January 11, 2003 11:10 AM

Gen, you forgot to mention that jpoulos was there, no will somebody put up some pics, I now there was some doozies taken and the mothership still seems to be out of commission.

Posted by: jonmc on January 11, 2003 11:38 AM

my brain fell out what with all the drinking.

Posted by: goneill on January 11, 2003 12:11 PM

....mumble....

:: looking all pathetic and shit ::

I've got pictures of the monkey. Didn't take too many "people shots," 'cause it seemed like everyone and their pet kangaroo brought cameras. ("Calling Mr. Izer...") Perverted monkey shots, now, *those* I've got. They'll be up later -- gotta do grocery shopping and other domestic thingies. With a hangover. Bleeeeah.

Posted by: roe/metrocake on January 11, 2003 12:26 PM

Ah shit, Lupo did go down. One of the reasons I had been seriously considering taking the day off and driving down to surprise a few folks was a sneaking suspicion I had that he was planning the same thing.

Dang it! Next time, alright?

Robot walks into a bar, orders a drink, lays down a bill. Bartender says we don't serve robots and the robot says, "Oh, but someday you will."--Silver Jews

Last night's gathering was tons-o-fun, though a reminder that I need to polish up my social skills. Out here in my hollow log, I've only got the porcupines to talk to, and alls they say is Fee-nee-nee-nee. I'm rusty, and regret not talking to more people.

Still, though, it was a blast, and I was home and in bed by 11 with a cup of warm Postum.

Posted by: cowboy_sally on January 11, 2003 01:01 PM

MetaFilter's back up, and riffola has put his pix up on MeTa.

Here's jon doing what we do best. Good job, everyone! Looks like it was a lot of fun.

Hey, commish, KoKo suffered for your sins...but nothe my message on the chalkboard to y'all here..

Posted by: jonmc on January 11, 2003 01:38 PM

Bar jokes, huh?

Well, let me tell you about the best fuckup of a bar joke, ever.

You remember doodles, right? You'd make some silly drawing and then ascribe a humorous meaning to it? Like Zappa's cover art for Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch:

Well, my dad was showing around this doodle which he had drawn on a cocktail napkin:

which is, of course, "Two Men Walking Abreast".

A waitress saw it and proceeded to take it all around the bar, asking people to guess what it was. No one got the joke, however, because after they'd given up she would describe it as "Two Guys Taking a Tit for a Walk".

Posted by: Crash on January 11, 2003 02:31 PM

Postum? They still make that stuff?

Posted by: anathema on January 11, 2003 03:30 PM

Postum, damn it!

Posted by: anathema on January 11, 2003 03:33 PM

Goneill was kissing a boy, I see. And not a 9622 boy, either. I am not sure I approve.

Condom-wearing monkeys, now that I approve.

Posted by: tizzie on January 11, 2003 03:41 PM

I don't even want to know.

Posted by: b****fire on January 11, 2003 04:03 PM

goneill doesn't approve either.

Posted by: goneill on January 11, 2003 05:33 PM

Halitosis.

Kissing a boy? goneill, I thought you were riding your bike home!

/me feigns propriety

Posted by: cowboy_sally on January 11, 2003 06:11 PM

what is this "propriety," of which you speak earth woman?

Posted by: jonmc on January 11, 2003 06:24 PM

Yes, but did anyone get naked? 'cause drinking a lot and gettin' naked is what meeting new people is all about!

Fun pics, all. Poor Koko...

Posted by: stavrosthewonderchicken on January 11, 2003 06:32 PM

I'm actually not really sure. I think I heard it whizzing by and felt it graze my cheek last night as I talked to 4 complete strangers about the merits of phone sex work.

Posted by: cowboy_sally on January 11, 2003 06:34 PM

Um, not really sure about the meaning of propriety. Not the naked part.

Posted by: cowboy_sally on January 11, 2003 06:37 PM

Because that would really change the meaning of my metaphor.

Posted by: cowboy_sally on January 11, 2003 06:39 PM

oh that...

I think it pinched my ass as it passed.

Posted by: jonmc on January 11, 2003 06:40 PM

but i did ride my bike home. i fell off three times.

Posted by: goneill on January 11, 2003 06:56 PM

Ah, propriety's overrated. (For other people, that is.)

Talking to complete strangers (of which I was one, as I recall) about phone sex work isn't improper. Demonstrating the techniques at the next, karaoke-based, MeFi meetup would be. (so let's set a date already.)

Posted by: Vidiot on January 11, 2003 07:09 PM

(so let's set a date already.)

That would certainly help my feelings of disappointment that I didn't go (though setting a date already may be a bit..ho, hum...hasty)

...howzabout a tentative summer cookout?

Posted by: jonmc on January 11, 2003 08:15 PM

Hey, folks, whatever happened to Miguel? I was offline for most of December, so I must have missed something.

Posted by: b****fire on January 11, 2003 10:07 PM

Miguel who?

Posted by: yhbc on January 11, 2003 10:21 PM

There was a guy here named MiguelSomething, but that was years ago...

Wasn't he from Morocco or something?

Posted by: ColdChef on January 11, 2003 10:35 PM

Not Morocco, someplace equally exotic, like Waukegan.

Posted by: jonmc on January 11, 2003 10:38 PM

Miguel is missing in the mist.

Posted by: tizzie on January 11, 2003 10:41 PM

Miguel is missing in the mist.

Posted by: tizzie on January 11, 2003 10:41 PM

he is so, dammit.

Posted by: tizzie on January 11, 2003 10:42 PM

Miguel is pissing in the pist.

Posted by: ColdChef on January 11, 2003 10:49 PM

* help me *

Posted by: miguel on January 11, 2003 10:50 PM

Maybe the dingoes ate your Miguel.

Posted by: Mars Crash on January 11, 2003 10:51 PM

ooh ooh ooh AAAAAH

Posted by: Gorilla on January 11, 2003 10:52 PM

Damn, MeFi's down again. Have to pretend to be Miguel some more.

Posted by: A fine Cuban cigar on January 11, 2003 10:55 PM

Whoa! I think I found Miguel!

Posted by: ColdChef on January 11, 2003 10:56 PM

"Officer, I swear, I turned around and there was just this velour robe on the floor, and he ... was ... gone!"

Posted by: tizzie on January 11, 2003 10:56 PM

I was wondering that myself. Migs? Where are you? I work with a few Portuguese people, and couldn't help but ask if they knew an Internet junky in a smoking jacket.

Posted by: adampsyche on January 11, 2003 10:56 PM

I sense a new vide game being born here:Where In The World Is Miguel Cardoso?. Our target demographic is the drunk Portugese monkeyphile market. We'll millions or at least enough for a 12-pack and a bucket of buffalo wings.

Posted by: jonmc on January 11, 2003 11:07 PM

Fork Miguel. I have another question.

What do non-smokers do with all this extra time? Today's been, what, thirty-six hours long already? I'm going nuts here, and it's only eleven o'clock.

Posted by: yhbc on January 11, 2003 11:09 PM

Well, I either spend it on the computer or picking up behind my husband and kids.
Job security!

Posted by: b****fire on January 11, 2003 11:21 PM

No one likes a quitter, Commish.

Posted by: ColdChef on January 11, 2003 11:24 PM

The search for Miguel continues...

Posted by: ColdChef on January 11, 2003 11:26 PM

Picking up behind them, b***y?

You think by now you'd have them paper trained at least...

Posted by: jonmc on January 11, 2003 11:26 PM

I beg your pardon sir, have you seen my friend Miguel?

Posted by: ColdChef on January 11, 2003 11:28 PM

Sir? Sir? Perhaps my friend Miguel shared in your mead? Sir?

Posted by: ColdChef on January 11, 2003 11:29 PM

Oh. Oh dear.

Posted by: stavrosthewonderchicken on January 12, 2003 12:07 AM

(or should that be the CardosoBeacon? Or maybe the EstevesAlarm?)

Posted by: stavrosthewonderchicken on January 12, 2003 12:09 AM

Stav, maybe it's something like that thing the shined in the air to beckon Batman, on in Migs case it would have to project the shapes of a fifth of Maker's Mark and a can of Beer Nuts.

Posted by: jonmc on January 12, 2003 12:24 AM

A quickie : The CardosoSignal!

Nineteen minutes, folks.

Wonderchicken for president of teh universe.

Posted by: dong_resin on January 12, 2003 01:51 AM

Does anyone have his phone number? I say we call the bastard. Stav, The MiguelSignal is very impressive but I'm a little worried it will attract imposters.

Posted by: anathema on January 12, 2003 08:20 AM

I looked at his web page, but since I know no Portuguese it wasn't terribly helpful. However, it looks like the recent comments are all from not-Miguel.

Posted by: tizzie on January 12, 2003 10:34 AM

When was his last MeFi post?

Posted by: tizzie on January 12, 2003 10:34 AM

Ah, finally got back on MeFi - let's see now, username.mefimiguelcardoso ... jeez, lookit all them comments ... hmmm, looks like he hasn't said anything this year. The last comments I find are from 12/30, on his own "ugly popstars" thread and his own "pictures of mefites" MeTa thread.

Did he say he was taking January off or something?

Posted by: yhbc on January 12, 2003 12:31 PM

Well, the last time he was here, he said:

... I'm moving today and tomorrow and won't be online for a few days. ...

Posted by: Miguel on December 30, 2002 02:47 PM

Posted by: tizzie on January 12, 2003 12:56 PM

I hope he's okay.
As far as expressing final sentiments goes, calling him a "blasphemous shitfuck" probably wouldn't have been my absolute first choice.

Posted by: dong_resin on January 12, 2003 02:27 PM

There's not nearly enough weeping-because-Lupo-went-to-the-meetup-and-i-didn't in this thread.

I'm looking at you, adam.

BTW, my pics are here.

Posted by: jpoulos on January 12, 2003 10:01 PM

Oh, and Koko says hi.

Posted by: jpoulos on January 12, 2003 10:06 PM

Hey, I weeped. Wept. Whatever.

Posted by: yhbc on January 12, 2003 10:14 PM

I hadn't looked in this thread since this comment:

"*activates the MiguelSignal, waits*"

Posted by: stavrosthewonderchicken on January 12, 2003 12:07 AM

so I must say I am very, very pleased to see the Migsignal (Cardososignal, what have you) is recognized universally as a cocktail glass.

Posted by: Crash on January 12, 2003 10:14 PM

Alright, dammit. Whose tummy is witchstone preparing to lick?

Posted by: yhbc on January 12, 2003 10:17 PM

I was gonna ask that, too.

And if there was video.

Posted by: Crash on January 12, 2003 10:22 PM

She was neither monkey nor mefite. But her image will stay with me always.

Posted by: jpoulos on January 12, 2003 10:26 PM

That's my rubber and my dollar, by the way. Not to mention, my monkey.

Posted by: jonmc on January 12, 2003 10:27 PM

You drunken monkeys all looked fabulous at the MeFi gathering I missed out on. I'm definitely for sure coming to the next one, I'll be saving up my pennies for a ticket to wherever.

After surveying all the photo galleries of snap happy MeFites, I have just one question: Could witchstone be any hotter?

Posted by: brittney on January 13, 2003 02:36 AM

It looks like that woman pushing witchy down lower. So what happened after the bar closed?

Posted by: anathema on January 13, 2003 06:13 AM

: blinks :

: ponders :

What the hell was I looking at?

Posted by: roe/metrocake on January 13, 2003 07:17 AM

Oh, thanks a bunch for rubbing it in, heartless one.
*weeps*

Posted by: tizzie on January 13, 2003 08:07 AM

BTW, who's a mothafuckin' mack daddy, yo? NTM, in that first pic it's amazing how closely the color of my t-shirt matches Roe's drink.

Posted by: jonmc on January 13, 2003 08:24 AM

As part of my scandal-mongering behaviour, I gave Evanizer a lap dance, but really, I think he was the only one who was scandalized.

And they didn't even notice I was making a sandwich.

But the evening wasn't a total failure, I got her number. Bwahahahaha!

And why didn't I know that amberglow was there? Lucy, you got some splainin to do! And where was Liam?

Posted by: witchstone on January 13, 2003 10:09 AM

I knew a girl once would could tell where you from based on your belly button lint's texture and flavor.

She works for the FBI, now, but they just have her make copies and file stuff.

Posted by: dong_resin on January 13, 2003 10:31 AM

I'm in London, missing the meet-up for the third time in three opportunities. When I return, I'm going to have my own damn meet-up and it's going to put friday's one to shame. If you come across a very drunk guy in a New York bar begging strange women to lick each other, you'll see what I mean.

Posted by: liam on January 13, 2003 11:00 AM

wait a minute--I've seen you around the city before!

Posted by: witchstone on January 13, 2003 11:09 AM

I'm a reasonable man, so I know that Pips isn't drinking pee water.

Right?

Posted by: dong_resin on January 13, 2003 11:11 AM

Ginger Ale, dong, ginger ale....

Posted by: jonmc on January 13, 2003 11:13 AM

You have, Witchstone, but those times the women were just pretending not to know me.

Posted by: liam on January 13, 2003 11:25 AM

Sad sad sad I am to have missed it. I'll really have to make the next one to repent.

Posted by: ryan on January 11, 2003 11:07 AM

Wait a moment, dogmaticMe was here! But not at the meetup.

Posted by: witchstone on January 13, 2003 04:10 PM

Ginger Ale, dong, ginger ale

A less popular version of "Duck, Duck, Goose".

9622.net: drinking pee water

Posted by: kafkaesque on January 13, 2003 04:13 PM

A less popular version of "Duck, Duck, Goose".

So, you hit someone on the head, call them a dong and then they chase after you.

Sounds pretty much like what was going on at the meetup.

Posted by: witchstone on January 13, 2003 04:19 PM

Except I saw no ginger ale, except maybe as mix.

Dongs galore, just no ginger ale.
