Stay Tuned

We've got something fun coming up for the weekend. We're working out the details. We want to make sure it stays good, clever, clean fun--as opposed to opening the express road to savagery, barbarism, the loss of Ricochet's good name and blood feuds among our members. (It's a fine line between clever and stupid, you know.) As soon as we get the rules ironed out and the safeguards in place, we'll announce it.
Don't make too many plans with your families, though. The excitement's all going to be here.
Editor 1: It's always fun until someone loses an eye.
Editor 2: How can anyone lose an eye? It's the Internet.

Re: Stay Tuned
Is it a wet bar? Because I'm pretty sure I had that in my rider and I haven't seen a thing yet.

Re: Stay Tuned
Blood feuds? Honestly, Claire, I've never seen that here.
Sure, sometimes we say rather nasty things in haste on a particular thread (mea culpa).
But the very next day, on other threads, the same guys who were throwing punches come right back and behave as though the unpleasantness had never happened. It's just too hard to hold a grudge against folks you respect, even when you don't always agree.

Re: Stay Tuned
We don't do wet bars anymore, after the tragic riot at the San Francisco gathering.
Fortunately, doctors were able to re-attach Peter Robinson's ear and George Savage is learning to adjust to life without a spleen.
But we're all agreed that you can't have a group of Alpha males like us guzzling alcohol in the company of lissome beauties like Claire and Diane.

(Kenneth is obviously unaware that he's been slated for a show trial and liquidation in the Great Purge.)
Re: Stay Tuned
(And if he wasn't before, he is now, after failing to mention Emily.)

Re: Stay Tuned
Emily wasn't present at the San Francisco soiree. Had she been, I fear the death toll might have been far higher.
Re: Stay Tuned
Nice try, Kenneth. That kind of line ever work to get you out of trouble with a lady before? I didn't think so.

Re: Stay Tuned
I've scheduled Kenneth for a re-education program.

Re: Stay Tuned
No one's going to lose an eye...the FCC just made the internet all safe and everything.

How? The same way people always lose an eye on the Internet: they see something that causes them to pluck their own eye out and cast it from them.

Re: Stay Tuned
I get the feeling that the "something fun" in question might be a chatroom.

Re: Stay Tuned
And here I am heading to the remote areas of the Pacific Northwest with no internet connection this weekend for the Christmas festivities. I'll be interested to see what happened. Who knows maybe I'll be able to use my cellphone to access the site and see what is happening.

Re: Stay Tuned
No savagery or barbarism? You sure are a wet blanket, Claire. :(

Unless you're on the left, in which case you purge your sins by plucking out the eyes of others.
(Because, you know, we'll never get into utopia if people can still see straight.)

Re: Stay Tuned
Oh good, cause I only have the one. That scene in Kill Bill really put the fear of God into me.

You're going to bring back lawn darts?

Lawn darts rock. Wounds pass, but memories are forever.
