    That guy didn't even say "ghowl" "pure" or "like" once, that's 75% of almost all my sentences

    So, aside from Jack "I look nothing like Kurt Russell" Burton, are most people coming?

    Do I have to do another bumper shop in Iceland? (last time I may have over done it a tad!)

    I won't be coming. Exam at 9.00 am next morning. I reckon you should just call the whole thing off.

    No need for Iceland. Stock up on a few kegs of absinthe, vodka and captain Morgan's.

    And Atavan is leaving early?

    Well, I will send a googlemaps link to anyone who wants it.
    My house name is now on the thing so there is no excuse for folk getting lost.
    Anyhow, I'll clearly identify it by burning an effigy of a selection of Army Men games by the gate, that way the house will be easily identifiable.

    More importantly, is there anyone for whom the 7th of December is a no-no?
    If so we can do something about it but we need to know now.
    Will Enternow go?
    Will Atavan be sober?
    Will O1s1n venture out?
    Will Sera be still dating that loser?
    Will Retr0 be still thanking his lucky stars that someone was willing to date him, and not expect to be paid an hourly rate?
    All these questions will, hopefully, be answered!
    Provisionally I'm in , although the last 4 times I've said this something has cropped up to stop me .

    I'll be me first time with a few beers after a some months off, for detoxing purposes , so this may be me by about 9 0'clock:

    Pffffft! Forget those gaiz, we have Sparks right? think how varied the conversations will be!
    Retr0 will have at least 40 rants, that's something to look forward to and he'll bring the CDI!
    Meanwhile I'll be talking to the dogs :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen

    You just have ever to ask yourself if you want to talk about football and girls all night or video games!
    I know which one a red blooded retro gamer fiend would pick, and then he'd come to the Beers!

    What does "Ghowl" mean, I've been looking through the OED and can't find in there anywhere!
    And, be assured, the Christmas Beers is more important than any minor work doo...

    Another mystery solved... why Atavan can't score in Limerick.

    Tune in again next week as we ask our studio guest to randomly select a part of the world and we find out why Atavan fails to get off over there as well! ;)


    (only kidding, I'm sure you're bating them off with a stick)



    (and thats bating as in beating, not 'bating as in a foreshortening of masturbating..... just sayin' y'all)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭DinoRex


    I'm currently dating a Tangela.

    114.gif

    Is it cool to bring her along? Have told her about the meet ups.

    (note: she's actually a girl with purple dreadlocks)

    Imaginary girlfriends are allowed I'm sure. They don't take up much space and don't hog all the finger food :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    Is she hot?

    She must be if she has purple dreads.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,633 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    After my last effort there is little chance of running out of food!
    Yeah Dino, imaginary lady friends are fine, just hope Atavans imaginary girlfriend doesn't get jealous...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭DinoRex


    Actually beginning to wonder if she is imaginary as she was standing right next to me at the protest last night, but when I saw the footage on the news there was no one standing next to me... Could just be vampire or ghost though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,056 ✭✭✭Sparks43


    Its ok i seen her:D

    So next Friday good stuff, where is it on?
    I think I've ditched my Crimbo doo in favour of hanging out with dubious individuals from the interwebs.

    May not have a motor though as my work vehicle is out of D.O.E and tax so I'll have to play it by ear:(

    Well, I'm sure they will show their appreciation by peeing in your tea over Advent!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭DinoRex

    We should try and network 3 Wii U's together for Mario Kart!

    I could totally do it if I just had the right cable.

    Yeah, 8 player Mario Kart.... it's bound to work... this time....

    No sooner will we have the right cable but, before it works, it'll want us to sacrifice a 7 year old cat on a stone of granite, whilst it is pointing at a rising Jupiter, with an obsidian blade, itself blooded with the blood of a first born calf.
    I just checked, it's all in the Mario Kart DD manual, there, in the back....
