Hello all,

Well, I went to the Inner Harbor and sat around for an hour and a half, and nobody showed up. I am currently in Towson waiting for M to renew his parking permit, then we'll head up to the bus station to pick up Laerod at 2:15. He said his return ticket is at 8 tomorrow morning and he has no idea what to do or where to stay. So! We are going to have an adventure!

I've already taken some pictures for you guys (me sitting in the car by myself) and I'll post any pictures we take here this week.

Somebody is yelling that this laptop is for printing permits, not personal use. Yeah, yeah.

Love, Ilie.

Who was supposed to show up but didn't? So we know whom to scorn.

*crosses fingers that more peeps show* (and if not, *hopes you have a good time anyhow* :))

Heh. Reminds me of the Birmingham NS meet. Three guys phoning each other and asking "Hey, um. Is it still on?" :rolleyes:

I hope everyone makes a better effort in London on the 9th. :fluffle:

Who was supposed to show up but didn't? So we know whom to scorn.

Everyone but me and Ilie it seems. Apparently DK didn't come because Maryland doesn't allow carrying of concealed firearms...

Was it fun anyway?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Laugh all you want.

I got paid to go to London, where I couldn't carry Mr. 45.

I wasn't being paid to go to Baltimore.

Was it fun anyway?It's only ten pm, so we haven't really stopped having fun yet. We're at a house party and have been looking up what exactly it was that we were drinking.

Hmph!

You missed out on the unique opportunity to see the scar of some woman that got stabbed in the heart and was wandering about at the Baltimore downtown greyhound busstation. Then again, so did I, as I took that opportunity to grab my bag and make a dash for the safety of the station's airconditioned interior...

It's only ten pm, so we haven't really stopped having fun yet. We're at a house party and have been looking up what exactly it was that we were drinking.

If that's the case then you definitely are having fun! Carry on!

And pictures will be much appreciated, especially of anything thats related to drinking things you dont recognise.

LOL, laaame. :rolleyes:

Anyway, no big loss. As a general rule, if you're meeting people from the internet, you don't want anyone to come armed.

And pictures will be much appreciated, especially of anything thats related to drinking things you dont recognise.Will do. The only reason why I'm hanging out at the computer is because the seat is comfortable, we wanted to look at wiki to know why no one else was drinking some of the stuff and that's where most of the good (and bad) alcohol is.

LOL, laaame. :rolleyes:

Quite honestly, this stops no one. Maybe we'll get under 300 murders this year in good old charm city.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

On a lighter note, make sure you have crabs. Or crab cakes, at G and Ms. :)

However, that place gets crowded, so you can always go up the street to Olive Grove and have theirs, which is also very very tasty.

LOL, laaame. :rolleyes:

It WAS really fun. I want to go back again. The city (if you count Victoria as a city) seems stupid and crowded compared to nature. You feel so...free in the middle of nowhere...like society has no rules to impose upon you. */rant*

okay okay

it is now 5:30 in the morning. We are all tipsy and exhausted.

about an hour ago we handed Laerod off to a girl who is 20 years old, cute, married and actively seeking divorce, has a 2 year old kid, and was hinting that she has "chuggable tequila" back at her place. Since he needs to be at the bus stop at 8 am, she said she'd stay up with him and take him there. We are hoping that he is getting laid. Right now.

Did I mention he is wearing a shirt that isn't his? After changing OUT of a shirt that ALSO wasn't his. Long story on that one.

BEST DAY EVAR


P.S. Laerod is invited back anytime, if he can regain his strength and sanity.

And anyway, the heat isnt anywhere near as bad as the cold you get in the rest of the country. Yeah, our heat may be a little much at times but its a small price to pay for eternal summer. :p

You know about the new laws and are playing coy?

Gun control group targets Florida's tourist industry (http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2005-10-04-florida-gunprotest_x.htm)

Florida's "stand your ground" law, which took effect Saturday, means that people no longer must attempt to retreat or defuse a threatening situation before using violence in order to later claim they were acting in self-defense. People already had that right in their homes, but the law now allows them to meet "force with force" in any place they have a legal right to be.
In 2000, Florida had the highest violent crime rate in the US. In 2003, it was 2nd only to South Carolina, whose VCR was increasing.

Although Florida's VCR is going down, it is still 50% higher than the US average. What happens with this new law is anyone's guess. It is too early to weigh the results.

The new law plus the existing "right to carry" concealed weapons laws does not instill in me a desire to visit Florida in the very near future.

Well, you will have photos, but we didn't take a lot of pictures of the actual PLACES we were...mostly just "Here is Laerod with a guy with a beer" and "Here we are sitting in the restarurant." I wish we'd taken pictures of the neighborhoods and stuff, now. I'll be able to upload them tonight.

We also forgot to buy Ruffy a shot glass OR buy a postcard and send it to Keruvalia. We are terrible people!

I'll do better next time. We WILL have Laerod back before his semester in the US is up, now that we know he's not a freak. Meaning, not a guy we have to worry about stabbing us in the night if we let him stay in our guest bedroom.

I wasn't drinking much (read: I didn't throw up). And there is only one picture of partly naked people, but it's not pornographic. I will need Laerod's permission to display it, and he seemed pretty eager to keep a lot of the details of this meetup under the rug, so you may be out of luck.

Ugh, join the club. Anyway, suffice to say, Baltimore is a very lively city with very interesting people, and you all missed out. Of course, we said many times that we're glad none of the rest of you jerkwads came since it would have made it that much more difficult to pack everybody into the car when we went on our adventures. I have learned from this experience: if more than one person intends to show up, they should bring their own transportation and have planned a place to spend the night. Only one person at a time is allowed to be a drifter. :p

All that is irrelevant. Look:

Proponents of the measure, pushed by the National Rifle Association, say it will make Florida a safer place, not more dangerous. Gov. Jeb Bush has repeatedly pointed to a 34-year low in state crime statistics to demonstrate that Florida is not a haven for violence.

These gun control idiots from California need to bring their gun control back to California. Florida is a place with individual rights, not the government telling you you cant own a firearm or defend yourself against an attacker.

I'm glad we have this law, it will teach people not to fuck with innocent people...and if they try to fuck with innocent people, they'll get shot, and they will either learn their lesson, or there will be one less bad guy around.

Good job Florida, I approve.

Hey, I'm a realist.

No, you're a reactionist. A realist would support a different, stricter, and more barbaric legal system that actually acts as a deterrent.

Makes no sense to cite a record spanning 34 years when you're talking about a law that's only recently come on the books.

What the State of Florida has done is made is less illegal to shoot someone and, thus, crime - technically - will reduce even more. After all, if it's not illegal to shoot someone who bumps into you at the bus stop, then there's nothing to add to the crime statistics when you shoot him.

While interesting, it is unrealistic to claim that being more permissive amounts to less crime.

Aaaaanyway ....

No postcard? Dangit!

Ahh, the wonders of legal manipulation of statistics through redfinition of crimes.

It expanding on a law we already have, where you can shoot someone who breaks into your property. This just takes it further and says you can shoot someone who attacks you.

Exactly. It's redefining "crime". It's not reducing crime.

Whatev'. I've lived in South Florida for years now and I can tell you that the only places where its unsafe to go is in the Black neighborhoods such as Overtown, Carol City, Liberty City, Little Haiti, ect.

People are getting worked over nothing, and its the gun control idiots form California that are getting people worked up.

Exactly. It's redefining "crime". It's not reducing crime.

Whatever you want to call it, I'll sleep better knowing we are allowed to fight back should we be attacked/robbed/our houses broken into.

Haha! No. But we drove on it a great deal.

Whatever you want to call it, I'll sleep better knowing we are allowed to fight back should we be attacked/robbed/our houses broken into.

Would you sleep better knowing that you now live in a state where if someone merely *perceives* your own actions as an attack gives them the right to shoot you without consequences to themselves?

Give it time. Familiarize yourself with the phrase "If you give an inch, they'll take a yard".

Just a matter of time before you see this in the news:

Clerk: Ummm ... do you have another nickle?
*BANG*
Cop: Why'd you shoot him?
Man: He called me an ugly ******! That's an attack against me and my people!
Cop: I see. Ok. Free to go.

Haha! No. But we drove on it a great deal.

The Gay gets you everywhere!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I did not say anything about that! I plead the fifth until I can consult with Laerod.
Ha, I knew it! *dances* (cover your eyes, Ruffy!) http://hardhouse2.orcon.net.nz/phpBB2/images/smiles/dancingemote.gif

Hey, we only let the Cubans live here because of the TOTALLY AMAZING good food they make, such as Bistec Empanizado (Cuban style-chicken fried steak) and Cuban garlic bread. :)

And anyway, the heat isnt anywhere near as bad as the cold you get in the rest of the country. Yeah, our heat may be a little much at times but its a small price to pay for eternal summer. :p


Though those Cubanos are fuckin' cocky.;)


Florida: gotta love the beaches. Inland is hot and humid, but OMG, visit anywhere on the Gulf Coast!!!!

I like perogies and bleenies, thank you very much!

I'm a person who begs for summer in winter when I'm sick of the cold, and beg for winter when I get sick of the heat, so feh! And plus, I like the different seasons.

They really are!:(


You can GET piorogies and bleenies -- Florida is NYC South (seriously, it's where we send all our retirees.) ;)

It burns!

Hm..

Perogies.. bleenies.. and they have a Yuengling brewery.. they are.. are.. the other Schuylkill county!

Ok, so now I want to revisit Florida, just not Orlando..

It expanding on a law we already have, where you can shoot someone who breaks into your property. This just takes it further and says you can shoot someone who attacks you.

Well I agree with the law as well. I'm glad I live in FL. :fluffle: for FL
I'd suggest a FL meet but we'd be the only 2 people there. :(

It burns!

Hm..

Sure! Come visit. I'll take you a nice Cuban Bakery near me. You'll love it! We can go drinking with TAI afterwards. Me and my g/f will take you guys to some hot Miami clubs afterwards. :D

Wow, I didnt know we have such such support for a Mod, lol. Visit us anytime, Florida wants your money, and you know you want our vices. ;)

Yes, it really is like an extension of New York City + Los Angeles + Cuba.....

Its like there was a mad exodus of all that is old and sucky at driving, Jewish and liberal, New York-ish and Southern California-ish, Cuban and Haitain, and anything that has to do with illegal vices....then all of that relocated to what is now South Florida.

Sigh.....but atleast it brings us huge sums in tourism, haha...."You come, you live your money, and you leave!" Ya cant beat it!;)

Ok, so now I want to revisit Florida, just not Orlando..

Orlando is representative of Central Florida...where the the hick-ass South and South Florida blend into one. Orlando hardly represents So-Fla. South Florida isnt like the rest of the South....its unique...I'd say a mix of South/California/New York City.

Everyone loves South Florida...after all, whats not to like?;)

Well I agree with the law as well. I'm glad I live in FL. :fluffle: for FL
I'd suggest a FL meet but we'd be the only 2 people there. :(
I love So-Fla too, and I think it'd be better to have a "South meet"....that way its more than just us two playing tiddley winks and grab-ass.:p

Meh, I guess time will tell. I have faith in this state. As it is now, the state is safe*, even with our lax views on guns and self-defence.

*Like I said before, safe aslong as you dont go into the black neighborhoods.

okay okay

it is now 5:30 in the morning. We are all tipsy and exhausted.

about an hour ago we handed Laerod off to a girl who is 20 years old, cute, married and actively seeking divorce, has a 2 year old kid, and was hinting that she has "chuggable tequila" back at her place. Since he needs to be at the bus stop at 8 am, she said she'd stay up with him and take him there. We are hoping that he is getting laid. Right now.

Did I mention he is wearing a shirt that isn't his? After changing OUT of a shirt that ALSO wasn't his. Long story on that one.

BEST DAY EVAR


P.S. Laerod is invited back anytime, if he can regain his strength and sanity.

May we have pictures please after you sleep off the fun ? :)

Well, I'm back home, and fed. Rested and showered are soon to follow, but I'm not sure in which order yet.

You know what the penalty for adultry is in Maryland! We were discussing it when I left!

Well, I didn't get into anything. I had a very bad experience with an engaged girl, so I'm not exactly keen on repeating anything like that, especially not when marriage and a kid are involved. Considering that the husband and brother were home too, that was a very prudent decision of mine. So we watched Mindhunters instead.

Me needs more information!We have pictures. Maybe they're up already. I haven't dug through the entire thread yet.

Bumber on the turn out, dude. I was hoping it would be some sort of raging success-east coast has got some interesting cats. Guess it's not that much of a bumber for Laerod, though...You might think differently now that you hear what really happened. But I wouldn't. I had a great time :)

According to the one hit wonder band of sketchy comic book video Take On Me, it's A-ha! I think it depends on how you want the inflection to come across.
Never heard of Crying in the Rain, The Sun Always Shines on TV, or Forever Not Yours then, have you?

I hope you at least got her number. ;)

I hope you at least got her number. ;)Email address works just as well, if not better ;)

Nighty night for now. Sleep pwns shower.

Email address works just as well, if not better ;)
OMG a woman who uses e-mail. :eek:

I have said it before, and I'll say it again - you lucky bastard.

OMG a woman who uses e-mail. :eek:
Buh...? Is there a cliché I don't know that says women don't use email? :confused:

Buh...? Is there a cliché I don't know that says women don't use email? :confused:

No cliche that anyone ever told m about. Unless it's that silly old "GIRLS DON'T LIKE TECH" nonsense I used to hear growing up. I thought men had figured out that one isn't true by now. :headbang:

Did you lose another screen name?

There are no women on teh interweb. :rolleyes:

EDIT: It's just that women usually give out a phone number, not an e-mail address. Come to think of it, guys too. Just an observation. People who swap e-mail addresses rather than phone numbers at house parties get extra cool points.

The sort of "cool" only rivalled by an exchange of myspaces or, dare I say it, blog URLs...

Aww!

Give the boy some respect!

He probably lost his kidney, and here you are, laughing at him. :(
He has two...

I would never give a guy my phone number, because then it can be traced. It is also harder to "block" a guy from your cell or house phone. Emails/IMs only.

Good morning, Laerod! Good to see you online. Here is the link to the 1st Baltimore NS meetup photobucket folder. Enjoy!

Its like once your old enough to see rated R movies...you dont have the urge too. :p

Heheh, nice pics guys. So cool you had fun.

Can't wait until the London one. :D

Was she a great lay?I wouldn't know. Nothing really happened (and if anything had happened, I wouldn't be talking about it on NS ;))

Its like once your old enough to see rated R movies...you dont have the urge too. :pI do still have the urge, actually...

I wouldn't know. Nothing really happened (and if anything had happened, I wouldn't be talking about it on NS ;))

I do still have the urge, actually...

You're no fun. :D

You're no fun. :DNah, I just had some very, very bad experiences with a girl that was engaged to a Canadian at the time we got together. I don't know if this would have been worse, but marriage and a kid certainly made it a bit more complicated. Considering how "fun" the last time was, I decided not to push my luck.

Nah, I just had some very, very bad experiences with a girl that was engaged to a Canadian at the time we got together. I don't know if this would have been worse, but marriage and a kid certainly made it a bit more complicated. Considering how "fun" the last time was, I decided not to push my luck.

I've spent my life pushing my luck. I'm on marriage number three, kid number five.

This one is working!

I do still have the urge, actually...
Well...I mean...I like seeing rated R movies as much as the next guy...but thats not what I meant. :p

Well...I mean...I like seeing rated R movies as much as the next guy...but thats not what I meant. :pYeah. It seems only the violent ones get shown on TV over here though... :(

Sounds like you have more energy than me..

*sets your hair on fire*

Sounds like you have more energy than me..

*sets your hair on fire*That's probably because I'm German and thus me not being used to airconditioning causes me to go into a state of hibernation.

Damn. Shoulda saved that one for the superweakness thread :(

Yeah. It seems only the violent ones get shown on TV over here though... :(

I have no problem with violence in movies, but it is interesting that we hold sex as such a taboo, yet love "The Terminator" and "The Terminator strikes back: Blood, guts, and rolling heads."

Ya know?

Ya know?Yeah, it's completely different in Germany. You usually have to wait until after midnight for the rerun of the movie just to understand the plot. I mean, it took me ages to figure out what happened to that one marine that chases after Nicholas Cage in in The Rock...

WHEN HE GETS THE CHEMICAL BALL SHOVED IN HIS MOUTH!!??!?!?

*sigh* I love that movie.


But still, what do you think the reason for this is?

You answered your own question a post or two back...

You answered your own question a post or two back...

Ugh...no I didnt. I simply stated the question....find me an answer to my question, in my own words.

WHEN HE GETS THE CHEMICAL BALL SHOVED IN HIS MOUTH!!??!?!?

*sigh* I love that movie.Yeah, the last time you see him in the cut version is where he manages to open the door. I was asking myself what happened to him for the longest time...


But still, what do you think the reason for this is?Maybe because the Nazis were violent prudes and we needed to shake that heritage. :D

Maybe because the Nazis were violent prudes and we needed to shake that heritage. :D
Haha, no I meant in America.


Good answer though.;)

Sure you did. In bold, at the beginning. It's because you make sex a taboo. There's your answer.

Haha, no I meant in America. Ingrained use of firearms and puritan heritage. Seriously, the puritans and pilgrims got kicked out of England for making having fun illegal, so there shouldn't be any doubts as to where that attitude may have come from...


Good answer though.;)It might even be true. The Nazis were obviously violent, but few know how prude they were at the same time.

Sure you did. In bold, at the beginning. It's because you make sex a taboo. There's your answer.
That doesn't explain where the taboo came from, though, which may be what he was inquiring about...

Alright! Well, that's that, then.

Laerod: you'll have to come back before you leave the U.S. Maybe we could even see some nice monuments and museums and fairs and whatnot. Or we could just party again. Whatever!

Alright! Well, that's that, then.

Hmmm..you're probably right about America. As for the Nazis...I know they were very socially controlling..but we didnt talk to much about sex during Nazi Germany in Euro-History.:p

Laerod how many shirts go you own that belong to other people?

Laerod how many shirts go you own that belong to other people?Do I own? Well that last exchange was so I could get the red shirt back to the original owner. Other than that, I only have shirts that I swiped off my dad or siblings.

Well, that's up to you. We didn't choose where your bus went. :pNo, the guy at the counter did... Must have been angry with me for disturbing him watching TV...

I loved the seven years I spent in Baltimore. Probably the best years of my life -- well, the most fun anyway. I'd love to go back. In fact, this past spring was my 10th uni reunion, and I really wanted to go, but uh...my gf would've wanted to go with me. Not a good idea. I've settled down since my time there, and the possibility that she might've heard what I used to be like was a bit scary.

That is one of the creepiest places I've ever been.

That is one of the creepiest places I've ever been.

There's the Greyhound station in downtown DC. Very similar.
