Catching up on this seasons "Sons of Anarchy", high as a kite on legal meds, and just basically killing time until my second surgery on my recently broken ankle which I'm having done tomorrow. Oh, yeah: I'm also seriously regretting that I'll be missing the inaugural Barge to Hell cruise t...
The event has a very welcoming and easygoing atmosphere. It's not harsh at all. People are easygoing, friendly, and respectful. I spoke with the captain (I went in January 2012 for the first time), and he said that after two years of it, he loves this cruise because it causes him the least amount of...
Hey, I'm laid up waiting to have lumbar surgery. I have a ticket for Iron Maiden tomorrow night, and a premium parking pass. Free to anyone in the Washington, DC area who can come and pick it up. Will message my address and phone number to anyone who can come and pick it up. Jiffy Lube Arena; Sectio...
aww, thanks Steve! It's true what you say, we do have some good lookin' Polish people in the family yes! None of them are tall, but my grandpa was quite cute in his early years with his strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes! my Italian side is the craziest for sure. lots of manipulative people and d...
Oh, just fucking great!! I skip to the end of the thread thinking this is serious, and only now discover that since Wizardbeast's revival of this thread today, you're all just fucking around. Well, nice. Feel good about yourselves, do you? Well, you should. Well played. BTW, I love you all. Mostly ...
Genealogy. I've been obsessed with my origins from my early childhood (5 years old on...), since no one in my family has ever seemingly cared. I've discovered from US Census records that we've been in the United States of America since before 1800, then hit a dead end (I've since hired genealogists...

To Absent Friends: Fair Seas and Following Winds Rab's Mighty Victory! http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7251/6961915012_0677020fd1.jpg DSC_0384 by smtwilson2006 , on Flickr http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8145/6961914824_193fce6cb6.jpg DSC_0417 by smtwilson2006 , on Flickr http://farm9.staticflickr.com/...
I'm randomly rejoicing that Jameson's Irish Whisky is so darn tasty. So far I've drank to Rab (what a sweet guy), my father, brother, sister, all of my grandparents and aunts and uncles, and all of my absent friends from days gone by. At this point, the only people left to drink to are my two nephew...
Awesome, Laura. Of course, I just read recent tourists reviews on Google about how Ft. Montagu (the proper spelling , apparently) smelled of urine and the area was was strewn with random clothing, used condoms and empty beer bottles, so be warned: Not much has changed since the Marines were last the...
I heard about this on Facebook. Sad. I have awesome pictures of his mighty 2012 bellyflop contest victory from the Viking Lounge. I met him in the airport as we were checking in to our respective flights home and congratulated him on the win. He was such a nice guy. I'll be drinking whisky to his me...
Because the Barge is headed for New Providence, where the Continental Marines made the United State's first amphibious assault 236 years ago on 3 March 1776. They took Fort Nassau and Fort Montague without firing a shot or having to hurt anyone, nabbed a bunch of ordnance and ammo, captured the Brit...
ok....the more I think about it - I really want to do Barge to Hell - If it truly is going to be December 3-7 - these dates work for me because it's at least a few weeks before Christmas, plus no-one I work with ever takes time off then. So, Andy - we've all been really, really patient and YOU DID ...
Had a great time talking with you and the others, Laura. Are the little Lauras into The Metal as well as classical? YES! I had a great time talking to you too - in fact, I think I probably talked to you, Michael D, EvilDan, Martin, onenight (Stan), Diane & Louise from Vegas, Debb, and of course...
Pete, I understood like a handful of words that you said this entire cruise, but goddamn you were friendly and smiling the whole time! Wish I would've seen more of you, actually. I know a lot of people had some good laughs with you over your misadventures on this trip Jesus, Pete, I understood ever...
Basically i know a lot of forumers bumped into me and said hey i am *insert name* and most of the time i had no clue who you were talking about or wandereerd off drunk shortly after.This year i had vowed to make more of an effort to hang around but i guess that didn't happen. In some ways it was fu...
^^^ ha - funny pic and like 70,000 Tons of Hangover got home Saturday late afternoon....and by yesterday I was feeling pretty back-to-normal all things considered post-crazy-70K-wise.... was especially happy to see my girls upon coming home....here is a (blurry phone) picture of me and and my 12 ye...
That and the sound of the voices in my head whispering a soft lament to the end of a great vacation. Well,the voices are actually growling, but in a soft, wistful, maniacal way.
^^^ Wow! I saw you ALL over the boat and knew I had seen you before; I couldn't place from where and didn't make the connection with the forum. Pretty sure you're the guy who made me CRACK UP at breakfast when you walked by in your "Hopeless Romantic Seeking Filthy Whore" shirt Yeah, that...
I saw Puscifer tonight and seeing them again tomorrow. Puscifer is awesome! I saw them in DC in 2010, and had tickets to see them late last year but got the flu. I would have gone, but to spread the hideous flu across the venue would have been crass. Just not done, old boy. Going to see Dark Funera...
Before: Me and the Wieners... http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/406537_10150600313548134_1283077766_n.jpg I'd love to take them along with me because we all really get along, but...but...well, they're into CyberSteamPunkRenaissanceProgressiveWoodwinds. I just can't go for that. Not yet...

Erm, I take it some of you are bringing your axes? Is this correct, or are there going to be extras for the guitar clinics? Are guitars required for clinics? I generally just listen and fumble when I try to learn a new technique or lick, myself. But I've never attended a clinic before. I've got plen...
^^^ I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you don't have children and/or don't like children. (at least unplanned ones! shit, I swear - mine were planned since the day I was born. (and perhaps way before then ) Ha! Well played. I'm actually a huge fan of children. I find that the older I get the more...
