So I'm on a work business trip to Delray Beach, FL taking a visitor to my clients office tomorrow. I wined and dined him, brought him to Capital Grille for filet mignons, drank tons of high-end scotch and smoked cigars.
He just called it quits at the hotel bar where were staying but I refuse to go to bed.
Bring on the martinis!

Bah! More like partner! The Legion of Reinsurance Execs...Er, that got to boring too type.
The last time I was in a bar posting, remember Eryk was all about my friend on Facebook I was meeting? I demand Eryk log-on, search my Facebook friends and hit on on!
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
So Lash, how does the end of July work? I'm in Shreveport for a day. Maybe I could do Memphis day? It would only be one night thought? Maybe July 28th?
Prob should PM you but this bit of business is important to the welfare of the LMB, if not Legion fandom in general.
(it also means I better do more sit-ups so I'm not laughed at @ the gay bar!)
Posted by Lard Lad on :
Man, what if Lash went into a gay bar with BOTH of us? Would I have "bear" appeal, Lash, or was that just a fad? Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
I know someone is going to say it--they might think we're a couple!
(A couple of awesome ass heroes )

Me and you?!?! (Sometimes I wonder if people "ship" our characters...in their imaginations at least! )

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit...
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Lol, I bet some do.
But seriously, you and I should totally visit Lash! Or some such meet-up! I feel like the South, USA is the place to get the max LMBers together and our I know our british friends agree. I'd be willing to rent a kickass car and drive certain LMBers to such a meet-up, like one infamous one in Memphis.

I don't know if I qualify as a "bear". I mean, I'm fairly hairy and obviously on the plump side--but I'm only 5'7"! Maybe a cub?!?! Posted by cleome45 on :
We'll get you elevator boots, Lardy.

Ps - I'm on such a Beatles kick it's getting out of control. Even though I switched to "Please, Please Me" I've had stuck in my head 'Polythene Pam'.

Cub has more to do with age than height. (and what role you play in the relationship)

Well, I have to head out on an errand soon. I'll pick up some beer for the entire thread while I'm out. That should help.

Shit! I didn't even know "cub" was real gay terminology! Posted by cleome45 on :

Thanks. But I'm already too old to live fast and die pretty. (Probably.)
No, I'm glad you guys are here to amuse me, because it's been the sort of day where if I started boozing, I likely wouldn't be able to stop.

I'm more of the "fuzzy Wuzzy" look myself.

Cle, one day I want to share a drink together--you're funny, artistic, and I like your style!

I'm just so elated that Rick's okay! I was in suspense for about 24 hours because of no computer access. (I even had a sad Rick-related dream ) I'm so glad we're not losing anybody again! I still miss Yellow Kid... Posted by cleome45 on :

D'awww... Likewise, I'm sure.
But you know, I don't think that anyone's seen hide nor hair of Abin Quank since we hung out together last month.

Are you sure about this?
Click Here For A SpoilerI'm still convinced that you and mr_cleome will turn out to be long-lost relatives. It's because of that pic where you, Pickles, and the baby are all dozing on the couch. There's a certain resemblance, I swear. Posted by Quislet, Esq on :

Ditto.
Before we heard that Rick was relatively OK (he is a little touched in the head ), I kept thinking about Yellow Kid and saying "not again"
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
It really shows how much of a family this group has become over the years.
We really do need to plan another major meet-up, preferably not at a con. New Orleans is nice. It's fairly centrally located and not far from me. Posted by Lard Lad on :

Absolutely. Rick was as in my thoughts as pretty much anyone I know "in person". I remember how down I felt when I learned that YK/Art died and when Chuck lost his wife. As time goes on and with the added FB connections, it's even moreso.

Absolutely! It must happen!
And guys, I agree--after Art and Paul's passings, it's a real scare to think one of us may pass. A huge relief it wasn't so--worth celebrating.
Posted by Dev Em on :
I remember coming back here after an absence and learning about Art...still gets me even today.
Posted by Lard Lad on :
Amen, Des--drink one for me! Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
It gets me more and more that we all need to meet up! Not that I'm gonna get all sentimetal and stuff (no promises btw) but just to have that moment.
I turn 30 next week. The LMB has been an influence on life for over 1/3rd of it. Think of that!!
Posted by Lard Lad on :
God, we really effed you up, didn't we? Posted by Dev Em on :
You huys have been part of my life since before Hannah was even born. I turned 30 a few weeks after I joined up, and learned of Hannah's soon to be presence about a month before that.

I still have the PM he sent to welcome me after I joined.
Posted by Lard Lad on :
So Hannah was conceived by the LMB?
Well, I'd already been married over 5 years, my older son was a year and a half old and my younger son was stillnearly 4 years down the road.

Nope...before you guys. You were all there for her arrival though. Jon arrived much later though.

I still have one from June 21, 2005, telling me about a chat going on if I wanted to join in. That's the one I will keep.

WOW, this thread got knocked down the MMB FAST... high turnover! I almost missed this!!
I will *MAKE* whatever day work, Cobie!! Posted by future king on :
In the 70's and into the 80's "getting it" meant getting in trouble or being lectured by somebody.
Of coarse these days that expression has taken on an entirely different meaning altogether! Posted by He Who LSHes on :

And now I'm just seeing this! Unfortunately, the trip wouldn't have worked anyway, Lash, because I've got to go from strait from Shreveport to Dallas for a day.
However, I will be returning to Shreveport again in the coming months since I now have a client there. Plus, I'll probably be coming to Atlanta soon too. All of this meaning, I'll make sure I make stop over to Memphis where we will at least meet in person and then party like there is no tomorow!
Will begin doing pull-ups and strait-bar curls immediately!
