Oh, and a reminder, signups for tonightās Masquerade Contest are up; please remember, no flammable costumes and nothing that leaves a trail behind it. Thank you.
Iām happy to announce that due to the unexpected hatching mentioned above, weāll be serving bbq chicken tonight. At least, Iām pretty sure itās chickenā¦
Couple more hours to sign up for the Masquerade. And for those asking, the group Thriller Dance and Time Warp Showdown will go on immediately following. Should be about 9pm, Lounge Time.
That Masquerade. I canāt even with you guys. That was either the most terrifying thing Iāve ever seen or the greatest.
Congrats to the winnersā¦weāll be sending you the cleaning bill shortly.
Next up is the Thriller Dance Offā¦this here is the Guinness World Record Attempt for Largest Thriller Dance from Dragon*Con 2009. Iām in this darn thing. Fifth row, DEAD center. Practice practice practice!
Okay. Iāve never seen a Thriller Dance turn into a Conga Limbo Hokey Pokey, but I commend the ingenuity!
Now Iāve had way too much spiked apple cider and way too many Reeseās cups, so Iām going to load the whole Universal Monsters oeuvre into the projector and let it run the rest of the night. Riff away if you so choose.
The exorcists and cleaning crews are due at 10am, so if thereās anything anyone needs to hide, consume, or declare to customs, please check in with me at the bar before then.
Iāve heard (unofficially) that the Board of Directors is investigating the possibility of franchising The Super-Secret Pseudo-Private Regular Loungeā¢, but nothingās come of that, yet. But that āAnā in the title of the place you visited is a dead giveaway that you were at an unlicensed ripoff. Iād appreciate it if youād give me the address of that place so that legal proceedings can be initiated.
If the Loungeā¢ does ever get into franchising, you can be assured that the name will be grammatically correct, i.e., the franchise locations will be āA Super-Secret Pseudo-Private Regular Loungeā¢ā. But this location will always be the original, one-and-only, The Super-Secret Pseudo-Private Regular Loungeā¢.
Oh good. Someone else is here and conscious. Excellent.
The fumigators just left, and Iād recommend you ignore the sounds coming from Sub-Basement Alpha Gamma 3 (NOT Alpha Gamma 4!!) for the next few hours. Iām going to head home and get some sleep before working on pulling down Halloween decor. If I leave it up too long, itāll start decaying. But fair warning, if I come back in here and there is ANY CHRISTMAS DECOR up already, I will find the perpetrators and personally feed them to Nessie.
Way ahead of you. Rule #55 specifies that winter holiday decor (and celebrations) may only be displayed (or occur, in the case of celebrations) between the fourth Friday of November and January 15 of the calendar year immediately following.
To be a bit more serious for just a moment, thanks @LadyStarblade for all of the Halloweāen videos. Those were a lot of fun to watch, and some of them the Garfield and Casper ones, along with the Addams Family episode, I hadnāt watched in decades. So thanks for the fun.
Now back to your regularly scheduled sarcasm and wit.
Well, Iām back from vacation and I see this place hasnāt burnt down yet. I guess everyone was too smashed on pumpkin ale to remember how matches work.
Also, has anyone seen my fork? Itās the one I use in the wall outlets.
Iām back. Whoās been texting me nonstop? Sheesh. This is what I get for recharging my phone, natch.
Youāre welcome @LadyShelley ā¦I rewatched the Garfield special for the first time in probably a couple decades and heck, I still remember all the songs! And how I soooo identify with Garfield as a character sometimes.
Hahahaha, letās just say I went through a fire extinguisher or two this weekend. And it wasnāt all because of the baby dragon someone brought up from the Sub-Sub-Basement!
And okay, okay, I know. Clean up. Iām on it. Better now than later, I supposeā¦
We knew that already. Unless youāre saying someone actually found the sub-sub-basement. In that case, we must have a meeting with them and learn of their adventures and force them to draw a map.
