Yo! Whose going and stuff, I wanna know who I can track down and say hi to, and which bar you'll all be passing out in.

Paul and I will be there Friday and Saturday, and maybe Sunday earlier in the day.

I know Deev, Jim and I will be attending. I'll leave it to Jim to come up with more details (if any are needed).

Big Jim · Post by **Big Jim** » Wed Jul 21, 2010 1:42 pm

The two Dennises and I (great name for a TV show!) will be there Wednesday night through Sunday early afternoon. As for the second question: uh...all of them?

DV8 · Post by **DV8** » Thu Jul 22, 2010 12:04 pm

C'mon, now. We're not going to pass out in any of them. People will be passing out, but it won't be us.

Big Jim · Post by **Big Jim** » Thu Jul 22, 2010 3:05 pm

Fine, fine. Kai: we will be everywhere, so we'll see you wherever you pass out.

Kai · Post by **Kai** » Mon Jul 26, 2010 7:47 pm

Heh, no passing out in the bars....Jackal and I and SOs will be over in the Hilton, I don't think any of us have any huge plans aside from 'have fun', so if we see any of you, we'll grab a few drinks or something.

Have fun folks. I'm quite jealous, as I'd really like to be there this year. I will however, instead, be attempting to embark on my new life in New Jersey. Someone, please kill me now.

DV8 · Post by **DV8** » Tue Jul 27, 2010 10:11 am

Wait, what? You're moving to Jersey?

I actually took four days off that weekend. Too bad I'm moving more of my back shit to Philly. :o

Yes, if someone would come to Animalball, they'd know this. Look, we kicked Kyle off the island, so it's ok. Comeback to us, sexy sexy Dennis...

Jeff Hauze · Post by **Jeff Hauze** » Tue Jul 27, 2010 4:47 pm

Or maybe if I was on Mybook/Facespace, more folks would actually know this. If I tweety-birded about it or something. Considering how often I update my LiveJournal...well, expect some posts about it four years from now.

This is me, this is a ten foot Animalball pole, this is me not touching it

Well we'll miss you Jeff, and like...send me an email or something once in awhile...lose track of too many people around here....

Is Bulldrek banned in Jersey? Why don't people tell me these things?

No seriously. I'm confused by the sentiment of being missed.

I know, it's hard to come to terms with the fact that people like you. I read the AB thread on your situation. It puts a few things in perspective. But you're not seriously moving to Jersey, right? I Google Map'd it, and it seems like Voorhees is pretty close to Philadelphia. Why not just move there?

You should move to Batsto, instead.

Because Philadelphia and most of its suburbs are far more built up. Jersey is more expensive, but I do not have to face a huge commute to work, and put up with city life. I don't think I could survive being hemmed in by all those buildings. Voorhees has its issues, but at least it is suburban. I can actually see some green (other than the awnings on houses), and still easily go to place that don't have massive light population at all hours of the day.

Also, the confusion on being missed was more in regards to "Where am I going that I'm being missed? I believe I'll still be on Bulldrek, even in Dirty Jersey."

You're definitely right when you say it's not as bad as it might have seemed at first. Vorhees is actually in a really interesting location: because of the Pine Barrens, there's an enormous amount of semi-wilderness starting just 15 minutes from the office, and extending all the way to the ocean, an hour away. And yet Camden and Philadelphia are just a half-hour away if you feel like doing something that requires a metroplex. You can live on the border between - in that narrow strip of suburbia that Vorhees represents - and have the benefits of both. And only be an hour from the ocean, and from Atlantic City thereupon. This could work out pretty well for you.

That said, it'd probably all work out a lot better if there weren't so many people living there, so if you'd like some help taking care of that, I'd be glad to lend you my services.

Atlantic City is a shithole, dude. It's only going to get worse now that PA casinos have table games. As for beaches, Jersey beach water is, like, brown and slimy. Delaware and Maryland beaches are muuuuuuuuch nicer.

You know what, if you use your nuking skills, the property values would go down as well. Then I could actually afford to live there. Have at it, good sir!

That was more a 'we'll miss you at Gencon' sentiment...I think...but it was said weeks ago and whatever context I had for it has been shoved off somewhere by the frieght train of Things To Do. How is it that I am busy all the damn time yet still seem to find time to get bored and acquire more hobbies/friends/commitments...

Jeff Hauze · Post by **Jeff Hauze** » Thu Sep 02, 2010 1:11 am

I'd wager to guess that you might have trouble saying "No."

DV8 · Post by **DV8** » Thu Sep 02, 2010 8:21 am

I have trouble saying no.

Jeff Hauze · Post by **Jeff Hauze** » Thu Sep 02, 2010 5:37 pm

It's easy. Practice this phrase with me. When someone asks you to do something you don't want to do, just simply respond with the following: "No, fucking no, and hell fucking no."

Not just one of those, but all three as one answer. It's doubly effective if you do it with your employer. They tend to never ask you again. They might even go so far as ask you to never show up for work again.

Well there's the problem bit, its always stuff I want to do....

Jeff Hauze · Post by **Jeff Hauze** » Thu Sep 09, 2010 12:58 am

Don't want to do, don't have time to do, whatever. The phrase works just as well in about any application.

"Hi Jeff! I'm a hot, rich Russian woman who has a thing for fat PA Dutchmen!"

"No, fucking no, and hell fucking no."

See! It's a utilitarian phrase-thingy-mabob.
