One front row centre seat, please. (Or is SOS selling the tickets?)
Oh, my darling sisters. I'm never sure if it's SOS or MIH selling tickets to watch me do silly things. SOS is in charge of butt pinching tickets, that I'm sure of.

That's not a microphone; she just holds it like one. (I think she watched Grace Slick a little too often.)
:blushing: <--- Only because I've been caught. :devil:

Oh, it's okay, there are no drinking and driving rules in the supersonic RV. The minimum drinking age in the RV might be 17.6 years old too. :biggrin:
I assume that you've registered it as the PF Embassy. The only laws are yours.

Okay, I'm still not sure on this one. What is freebee? Is that what the rest of us call frisbee? Or is it a different game?

Yay, I'm over by like half a year. Next time i'll bring twice as much Rum. And some more aftershock too. Yummy stuff.

Yep. And once we hit supersonic speeds, nobody can catch us anyway. :biggrin:

I'd be a lot easier to keep track if you just put her in charge of all ticket sales and leave MIH to run Security. PR should be handled by SOS.

Any incriminating pictures? :-p

Good idea. SOS in charge of PR and ticket sales and MIH in charge of security.

If there aren't, you only have yourself to blame. You're in charge of photography and videography. I thought that's why we were giving you front row seats.

Catch-22: How am I supposed to afford video and photographic equipment if I don't already have it to gather blackmail material?

I will see it, but probably not the first week. I'll wait for the crowds to ease up a bit. So, don't go talking about it and spoiling it for me after you see it!

You can just apply everything in MB's quote to me as well.
And on that rather lame note, I have to get out of here. Not because of you showing up, Cronxeh. (Although that would be a valid excuse.) Seriously, though, now that you're here for the night-shift stalking I absolutely have to get some sleep. I've had far too little lately. Catch you tomorrow.

Cool!

Correct, otherwise there is an additional charge for premium seating.

It's so funny to see this thread, because I just saw my victim, er, girlfriend last Friday, whom I haven't seen in awhile. And I reminded her of the guys who wanted to pinch her butt, and we had a good laugh (she's a good sport, isn't she?). Then we started thinking of other ways to make money, like selling seating (supply and demand--very crowded). I wish I could remember the other ideas...but apparently those brain cells were destroyed. NO, no never Blue Hawaiians for me. :eek:

So Huck, have we cheered you up yet? (I think that's what this thread is about.)

I did enjoy myself.

I guess I'm feeling a little better. A few good laughs before a long nap. It's going to take me a while. I think mostly I just wanted to vent and tell someone how I was feeling. That's usually enough to help me feel better.

All the more reason for you to act 8! ... just like when you were 8!

Gahhh I have to learn to take a break sometime! I interpreted Gales' saying as being 8-factorial rather than 8 (explanation mark), so all the more reason to act 40320 years old :-p.

Huckleberry, try to do something to occupy your time, and above all try not to reminisce on it and gloat over it, that only makes things worse. Several others on this forum have taken up poetry or prose, so unless you're literar-ily challenged you might find that to be quite a pleasant pursuit. For instance, I just made one up a few hours ago (first attempt at prose) and I'm afraid it makes absolutely no sense to anyone so I might as well keep it to myself .

Or... try something new, like 3D Tic Tac Toe... http://www.coolmath-games.com/3dtictactoe/index.html

:approve: Yep, we definitely made the right choice putting you in charge of ticket sales. :biggrin:
