Here it comes again. Well now, So I have essentially 36 days to see it I can get the car to run, smog'd and registered?? Fart, piss shit..OK.

I thinks so, the've let me show up in my Nissan Versa and a rental Challenger, I think the'll make an exception for a real BMW, of any sort

It's about the people not the cars, show up in anything you want to. Well, anything within reason, we have to maintain SOME standards so a Prius is out.

Pretty sure the event is about the people.

Have I been going for the wrong reason? I thought it was about the food...

Have you even seen the cars though?!

Wait, I though it was for the alcohol

I just go to see the cars that were cool in the 80's, and talk with the guys that still think they are cool.
I may have a beer or two while I am there too.

I've always enjoyed the poetry reading circle on Friday night.

Can we set up the trampoline in your backyard this year?

For fucks sake Vince that's an invite only thing. Come on...

I will be gone by then anyway.

A couple of days ago right when I was leaving for work, I saw movement out of the corner of my eye and then saw it again. It was a small dark blob moving at an extremely high rate of speed behind the stereo and then bookcase. I assumed a mouse but I wasn’t sure because I didn’t think they were able to move at warp speed.
I admit, I’m a big softie so I bought those kind of traps where the mouse is caught alive and then after you catch him, you open the trap and release him into your neighbor's garage because you resent his noisy oil-less compressor.
My mouse managed to eat all the bait in three traps without the trap door closing until finally at the fourth trap, the door was closed. I picked it up and by the weight, there obviously was no mouse inside. I had met the enemy, and the enemy was the Houdini of Mice.

Well, I had been pushed. It was about time somebody taught this mouse a little lesson about morality and about what it's like to be a decent, upstanding member of a society! Come to Karl, mouse. -- I guess we're playing for keeps now. I guess the kidding around is pretty much over. I guess it's just a matter of setting about five thousand neck snapping traps to teach you a little bit of a lesson. Is that it? I think it is!

I caught the little shit FINALLY.


So if you're crashing on my floor over the festivities weekend and you feel something furry on you during the night, it’s probably OcCoupe or ElGuappo rather than a mouse

Chuckie’s ProTip® #236: Wear an Australian Bush Hat when setting traps and make sure the side brim is in the snapped up position. It shows the mouse you mean business.

Chuckie’s ProTip® #141: Put the bait in the trap BEFORE you set the spring arm thingy.

Ok, you've now convinced me, Chaz. Got the mouse, so I'm definitely in! This year I will be bringing the car, too. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Charles, be happy you do not have roof rats in your area....
We have them thanks to CA.

I don't have them yet because I don't live in a nice-enough area.

I'll be there to collect credit applications from everyone contributing to the party fund.

The field mice must have mutated on their way to Phoenix.

I think I'm going to finally try to make it down for this. Car's out of storage and is feeling about ready for a long trip

Glad I'll be up off the jungle floor on the semi round couch.
Anything furry will not be my teabagging, I keep the hedge trimmed.

Insiders tip: The garage sleeps four if the cars are unlocked.

I'm flying out with Ahab to meet the West coast crew. It's about time!!

I haven't been to SoCal in a long time. Last time I was in San Diego was 1980. I stayed at the US Grant hotel.

Don't get too drunk on the plane, I don't want you guys puking in my back seat.
Are you bringing an interpreter?

It's still there but the rates have gone up slightly since 1980.

So do I need to request a larger limo?

Yes, his name is Pat McGroin and he's a typical resident of South Boston. He will translate for us. It was either him or a giant chicken. We made the obvious first choice! You'll like him he's wicked pissah.

Oops wrong picture^^^^^^^^ That's Ahab not the translator.

My classically trained ear has never been so abused. I should retain legal representation.

I have spoken to Andy a few times so I can help translate. And my wife was born in Wooster.

I have watched plenty of This Old House, so I'm feeling confident.

I was very disappointed at the lack of 'wickid pissah' when I was in Bawstuhn 2 years ago.

First off, I don't have a Boston accent. Or any other accent really. I do speak jive pretty well, and I know a little Yiddish.
