Ok, maybe "mild" isn't quite the right word. And perhaps it's less an "aroma" then an "scent" or possibly even an "odor"...at any rate there's olfactory activity happening. But anyhoo, this is just one of the wild things we witnessed at the 9622 Puddin' Party where a good time was had by all and stomachs were irreparably damage. Vidiot's photos are here. chicobangs took some so I imagine his will be up soon. Enjoy, and nobody make fun of my short haircut.

Jon, you look rather stoned here.
Posted by: adampsyche on April 18, 2003 09:57 AMEasy on the wasabi, Jon. You just might need it later, camarada!
I love this last sentence; it doesn't make sense.
*starts campaign to make Jon the new Village Voice offbeat food and restaurant reviewer, to replace the brilliant but tired Sietsema*

When jonmc dies, all that sugar will probably ferment.
Posted by: adampsyche on April 18, 2003 10:14 AMOk, Tizzie and Tizzie alone etc., etc., but I just have to say: that picture says "Mom" better than anything I've ever seen.
Posted by: Cyrano on April 18, 2003 10:15 AMI got home and looked in my camera and realized that I had taken a total of three (3) pictures over the entire night, and two of those subjects (the Freudian Horror Film and Jujitsu Church) are already covered by Vidiot, and his shots are much clearer than mine anyways. The third is the other half of this shot, which I don't have the ability to upload until this evening.
I am not a natural photojournalist.
It wound up being a fairly rowdy night. We talked about old punk bands over each other and crammed pudding and Pabst and kangaroo and Rheingold and lime rickey and fried candy into our faces, gossiping and telling stories about our distant pasts like a bunch of sugar-charged pre-alcoholic yentas.
Although we were a little obnoxious in the Japanese supermarket. Not that that was a bad thing.
Posted by: Chico on April 18, 2003 11:07 AMWow. Boys, food and fun! (Jon, the new cut is becoming.)
I can only hope my name was mentioned--nay, whispered--over 'roo sticks.
You guys promised you would.

Posted by: ana on April 18, 2003 01:43 PMI just hope this doesn't adversely affect my lucrative Cockeyed Absurdist stock.
Posted by: Kafka P. Morgan on April 18, 2003 02:57 PMFirst thing I've visited from returning on my holiday. After looking at the pics, my arteries need a holiday from those shots of Jon & Chico...hope all had a good time. By the look of things you did.
That was some tour! I'm so jealous.
Although my insides are relieved...I could feel my stomach seizing up at the sight of the fried Milky Ways. Not to mention the sympathetic heart palpatation I had...
Posted by: readymade on April 18, 2003 03:08 PMYou own stock in the absurdist, kaf?
Still making investment decisions with the aid of Magic 8-ball, I see.
One hour till quitting time. I want a bloody mary.
Posted by: jonmc on April 18, 2003 03:49 PMYou own stock in the absurdist, kaf?
Yep. I bought some today. You seem to have the same problem I did, though...that the bot isn't finding your outgoing links. I tried putting in the non "www" URL as an alternate, and the next day my site was valued at $1000 +. Same with Eyeball, methinks.
Posted by: Kafka P. Morgan on April 18, 2003 03:52 PMBlogshares makes me think of this game where you used virtual money to play the real stockmarket. One co-worker of mine became a virtual millionaire within a week or so. Sadly since he didn't have two actual nickels to rub together it was all for naught.
Posted by: jonmc on April 18, 2003 03:55 PMOne hour till quitting time. I want a bloody mary.
Just go into the men's room and turn out the lights. Then say "Bloody Mary!" ten times. You will emerge with a complimentary beverage.
I give you fair warning, though, that magical celery from the men's room may not be of the highest grade.
Posted by: Kafka P. Morgan on April 18, 2003 03:56 PMThere's a bar that eschews celery in their bloody marys in favor of string cheese. Just sayin...
Also, while sitting in a pub pre-rice-and-roo I saw a waitress carrying a shrimp cocktail with an alarming amount of non-shrimp stuff sticking out of it.
Posted by: jonmc on April 18, 2003 04:04 PMbloody mary celery is completely optional. I like mine with an Boba Fett Pez dispenser.
You, jon, would perhaps prefer a 3 Musketeers?
Posted by: jpoulos on April 18, 2003 04:18 PMkaf, I didn't either until in college I went to my first brunch. Bloodys go well with eggs.
dong_resin, the mars bar tastes a lot better than it looks. As a half-scotsman you should appreciate the intrinsic beauty of fried nougat.
Posted by: jonmc on April 18, 2003 04:31 PMBloody Marys are foul. I don't want the following things in my vodka: milk, olives or tomato juice.
Nasty.

Posted by: readymade on April 18, 2003 05:11 PM*Sings low, lamenting the passing of this, a truly great thread whose tragically brief life was rent asunder by the foul despoiler Brittney*
Posted by: Kafka P. Morgan on April 18, 2003 05:15 PMWait! What's this?
*the ground begins to stir, as 30,000 Britnamaniacs stomp their feet in unison.*
I can't believe it!
The thread ...
I've never seen anything like it...
*The thread rises from death, picks up a folding chair, turns toward Bloody Mary, who is facing the audience and has her back to the thread*
It's ... it's miraculous!
I've seen it all!
Lord, take me now!
etc.
And because I had to:
9622: That magical celery from the men's room may not be of the highest grade.
Posted by: Chico on April 18, 2003 05:25 PMI've always considered myself quite the thread killer.
Brittney, I believe a thread killing duel might be in order!
*rummages for dueling gloves*

While on holiday I laughed every time my fingers itched for meta/9622net/the net, and this thread made me laugh out loud when I realized not missing too much. But for those trying to come up with a Meta-game-board. Just find a thread & print it; place a trash can somewhere; then wad up the printed pages; score a basket eat a pancakes and so on... Or just laugh in the name of Meta-Filter/Talk and you've won...
PS, it's a losing game that we can't say 9622net at the blue, noticed who I linked.
Posted by: Thomcatspike on April 18, 2003 06:37 PMYou know, after work, I did go get mahself a bloody mary at some joint on Broadway and west 3rd. The gal asked if I wanted it "spicy" and put a frigtening amount of tabasco and horseradish in it. Now I suppose I could've told her to stop or had her make me a new one but there comes a point where you're masculine pride collides with your reluctance to give servicepeople a hard time, so I said nothing.
She served it to me with a straw. Hot is not the word, children. It was like drinking sulfuric acid. I managed to get it all down. The couple next to me was drinking margaritas straight up with salt that I was looking at with envy and then ordered.
It's really something when you have to order a drink to wash down your drink.
Posted by: jonmc on April 18, 2003 09:31 PMHa - I love Bloody Marys even thought the idea of tomato juice is horrific. V-8 is better, and no - I don't know why.
I am at my dear mother's house in Akron Ohio, typing away on her chipmunk-powered AOL steam driven modem thingy computer. It's like carving a message in rock, using a broken seashell to chip out the letters. It's because I love you guys, seriously.
Posted by: tizzie on April 18, 2003 10:53 PMHope! Adminstrators!
I can't log in. Will one of you kind souls please e-mail me my username and password?
Many *boohoo!* thanks!

Crooned, actually.
Posted by: Vidiot on April 19, 2003 01:06 AMHola!
I have stopped referring to the stitches (9. Nine times. He's just leading you down the primrose path, Mrs. Bueller) in my noggin as "stitches." They are now my "football laces tattoo." I have also shotgunned a Carling Black Label and am currently drinking a Pabst Ice.
You read that right. PABST ICE! 6.0% alcohol level in yer grampa's favorite beer. $13.99 for a 30-pack. I keep hearing a non-existent phone ringing, though.
Could somebody please answer that phone?

Nice fuckn' server.
</beetlejuice voice>
Marty the Mandrill may have something to say about this place. About our bad grammar, I mean.
Posted by: liam on April 19, 2003 12:48 PMWell I wired this Japanese friend of mine a list of jonmc's food intakes and here's what he had to say:
"Win a Million, Lose Get A Lobster Shoved Up Your Urethra" is the latest example of why the west will always play second fiddle to Japan in the game show market.
Posted by: dong resin VS. Jesus on April 20, 2003 04:45 AMYes, I did think that was funny at 4:45 in the AM.
I'm better now.
Posted by: dong resin on April 20, 2003 01:46 PMAnyone up for "Wheel of Fish"?
How much do I love Google Image Search, oh lordy.
Posted by: witchstone on April 21, 2003 11:29 AMWhich Japanese market is that? There's something very meta here when I'm in Tokyo seeing pictures of you guys with Japanese candy and seafood in New York ;)
I'll have to go to an "American" market here in Tokyo and do the same for you all :)
Anyone up for "Wheel of Fish"?
stoopid! you're so stoopid!
