Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

[prendrelemick]

This party's going to be so good I think even Hoff singing couldn't dampen it. We can always use him as the first target at Lake Idiot anyway. With all the alcohol about, he'll be drunk after the first half hour anyway.



You can stay for whole duration; you sound like you could do with a week of relaxation, debauchery & booze.

And gentlemen.




Now we're talking!

The watermelon-seed spitting will get them along for sure.

I've booked Muse for the last night.

(I'm not sure buying copious fireworks is a good idea right now!)

ZZ Top, The Hoff's car and Muse are all fine, But for heavens sake nobody book Coldplay! It's a party not a funeral.

[SilentMute]

Oh, it never occurred to me to just invite the cars!

As for all the guys who are already in need of CPR...remember, there were guys on Baywatch too (like the Hoff). They might wind up coming to your aide first.

[Sancho]

Well then, if we're inviting cars, I'm inviting Hunter S. Thompson's Shark - a candy-apple red, 1971 Chevy Impala Convertible.



Buy the ticket. Take the ride.

Hello chaps,

I've not been about much, and here's why....

http://www.online-literature.com/for...42#post1215442

I shall do my best to come in for a pint a little more frequently now that I've got that out there - but these days it's necessary to go on a virtual tour of the webverse to promote these things, so I'm all over the place, kissing babies and opening supermarkets.

I'll have a lager top and egg'n'chips though, please, while I'm here.

You never ring, you don't call, then out of the blue..


Once I get over my pointless and half-hearted boycott of Amazon, Google and Starbucks (as a protest agin their aggressive tax avoidance) I shall be downloading a copy.

( I only boycott them when I don't want coffee, books or info.)

Does it talk? Can it do turbo boost jumps?

[Sancho]

Who needs a turbo charger when you've got 402 cubic inches? And who needs a car that can talk when you've got one that makes you see things?

"Jesus, bad waves of paranoia, madness, fear and loathing - intolerable vibrations in this place. Get out. The weasels were closing in. I could smell the ugly brutes."
--Raoul Duke

[SilentMute]

Nice to see you again, Mark. Congrats on the book!

Sancho...as for the car making you see things...I hope you mean scenery--and it isn't that you are getting smashed on car fumes.

Some of the horrible smells one smells on the road. I swear sometimes people are using cooking oil for gasoline. I believe that you can do this...but I get the idea they are using USED cooking oil, which I don't think you are supposed to do.

Ok, ok enough is enough. I don't want to be a wet blanket but this party is beginning to sound a little dangerous - fire, guns, explosives, alcohol,high velocity melon seeds.

I think we are going to need the emergency services in attendance.

Wow, I didn't realize how pretty the other girls were...I wonder why we got so distracted by Pams assessories...I didn't know the guys from "Jersey Shore" were on Bay Watch...

I'm all for the dancing girls, but don't let the Hoff sing!

Sound: Well the idea was ok, the kids just didn't have big enough bladders

and by the way, which one is your Mother in law? If we're dealing with reincarnation here it could be hard to tell, but I can tell you that the giraffe is a bull, cause I checked. Can't say for certain about the two-headed zebra.

Is there any chance we can book ZZ Top? the way they spin their instruments is soooo cooool!

NO, I'm pretty sure that was my mother-in-law, exactly the way she looked, mouth and everything...and yes, pretty sure she was a bull.

Tell David Hasselhoff to come in his cool car Kitt...oh, wait, wrong series. And absolutely under no circumstances do we allow him to sing. He was cute in his day and had a neat car, but not a great singer.

I'm still trying to figure if he talks with a lisp...By all means, bring Kit; but I think his voice died a while back

We could just invite the car

Better...

I watched a game of Lake Idiot once where the tables were turned. The idiot donned a football helmet (hard plastic, American-style Football helmet) and started aiming his head at the cannonballers. It never occurred to me until that moment that somebody could actually change their trajectory in flight. Those who couldn't suffered a few of broken ribs. What a game.



That was Phineas Gage, Lefty's great grandpappy. Phineas was a demolitions expert for the railroad. One day he was basting rock when a charge went off prematurely, driving a metal rod through his cheek and out the top of his head, taking his left eye and much of his frontal lobe with it. He survived. In fact, I don't think he even lost consciousness. He did have dramatic personality change afterwards though. < That's a true story (except for the Lefty part)



Safety's for sissies. Unless, of course,the first responders are wearing a red spandex one-piece.

Help! Help! I'm in need of assistance!

Ah, the first lobotomy... No please, don't want to see Hass in red spandex; see enough of that on Florida beaches...

You mean no Hooked On a Feeling? If we could get a reenactment of this video it might be worth it?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJQVlVHsFF8

Liked BJ better on this...cool video thoughhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dbg0Y638TKg

Then there was his maternal Uncle ol' Hop-along-one-eyed-stumpy-the-eunuch.

Poor Mrs Stumpy...

"Lucky," for short.

As for Hoff's video, I can do the Ooga-Ooga-Ooga-Shakas

I recommend Sancho, I've heard his Oogas...didn't you work with Tarzan for a while

For sure, and I'm about to go back in this weekend...somebody hand me a drink....

Pretty car...Reminds me of the day

Just in time for the picnic Mark, can't wait to read the book.

[The Atheist]

Wow, I didn't realize how pretty the other girls were...I wonder why we got so distracted by Pams assessories...

You know, I never rated her and still don't.

I can think of a thousand better-looking women immediately. If she comes, she can sit with Hoff in the corner bar.

In fact, I think I'll get Parker to screen the place off a wee bit, so all the unwelcome guests can sit way out in the back garden room. The place has been over-run by geraniums in the last couple of years, so is about right for a bunch of blow-hard, no-talent bums.

You, my dear, have any damn table you like! I'm getting it all set up for you ready for when you finish the Weekend shift. I can arrange for tightly-clad young men to serve you..... drinks, if you like.

[The Atheist]

ZZ Top, The Hoff's car and Muse are all fine, But for heavens sake nobody book Coldplay! It's a party not a funeral.

No chance.

I'm going to start a music list below.

Oh, it never occurred to me to just invite the cars!

There's another great idea! We've got the music coming, I'll start a list of cars as well.

Hello chaps,

I've not been about much, and here's why....

Good luck with that!

How are sales so far?

[The Atheist]

Music.

Open to suggestions here, and as Mick has banned Coldplay, I'll add in U2*, any singer under 25, aside from Adele as people that may not be invited.

Other than that, I will add in both The Pogues - if MacGowan is ablt to be sobered up enough to sing, and Mumford & Sons, to whom I've wanted to drink beer for some time. They've got an amazing sound.

We've got about 299 hours of mujsic to fill, so bring them on!

[The Atheist]

Cars.

So far, we have KITT, and Hunter S Thompson's Shark.

I'll add in Bumblebee from Transformers and the Dodge from Vanishing Point. The original movie, that is.

Anything under V8 will be suspect, and Italian cars highly suspect.

Oh, and the Vanquish from the latest Bond film - that one's definitely in. Sterling Moss' Jag? I'll take votes on that.

Here's a few we can toss in:

"No Show Jones" (RIP George - passed away today)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Onfce-UNmmE

Bowie and Bauhaus:

Don't forget Herbie:

.

[The Atheist]

Yes to both Bowie & Bauhaus, and I'll add in OMD as well. I've been to many concerts in my time, and they're still the best.

And yes to Herbie! (Especially if he can bring that Lindsay Lohan girl along - I could take her under my wing or something.)
