We’re in one of those rare times when, for a variety of reasons, none of us can mind the site for a while. So here’s an open thread. Have fun, don’t break anything, and we’ll be back before long.

On-my-soap-box on October 10, 2007 at 7:56 PM
I have a 9mm Sig Sauer P226 and I ain’t afraid to use it!
wherestherum on October 10, 2007 at 7:56 PM
Ah…Got just the job for you dear, Minister of mixed beverages and official keeper of the Ice…
doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 7:57 PM
Take over for me, holly. I’m leaving work and heading home to sit on the parking lot that is L.A. during rush hour.
Onmysoapbox, you really wanna make me mad when I have a loaded firearm? =p
wherestherum on October 10, 2007 at 7:58 PM
You havent had your hands out of the tub the Guinness keg is in for over an hour, their already cold enough to be dead, just pour everybody another pint, and well keep that pesky leprechaun distracted…
doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 7:59 PM
Bleeder, Bleeder
Bleeding heart fool
I’ve got a little puzzle for you
If you like the ACLU
Then you are a Communist, too!
yubley on October 10, 2007 at 8:01 PM
The .40 S&W (S&W 40SVE here) beats the 9mm every time.
steveegg on October 10, 2007 at 8:01 PM
Yuck, sorry to hear that. I will fill your shoes as best I can.
Yes! I was born to do that! Who wants Jagger-Bombs???
hollygolightly on October 10, 2007 at 8:01 PM
Sorry I was gone so long; my Congresscritter decided to do something brilliant, yet meaningless – introduce a death blow to the AMT as well as an optional 2-rate tax structure
steveegg on October 10, 2007 at 8:03 PM
Oompa-loompas! Definitely no Google needed for that little jewel!
hollygolightly on October 10, 2007 at 8:03 PM
Yes but a .45 beats the .40 everytime
F15Mech on October 10, 2007 at 8:03 PM
I’m on the Sam Adams Winter Lager…it’s an ass kicker
Ochlan on October 10, 2007 at 8:09 PM
My three of a kind beats your pair!
Blasted 12 gauge. All it can do is blow a friggin hole through ya a car can go through with these pesky slugs.
On-my-soap-box on October 10, 2007 at 8:10 PM
I guess we’ll have to have a shootout, at least once we sober up enough to actually hit targets.
steveegg on October 10, 2007 at 8:10 PM
Oh…so you opted for the girly version ;-)
When you beat 1100fps let me know ;-)
Ochlan on October 10, 2007 at 8:11 PM
The more firepower, the merrier.
Now, who has a howitzer?
steveegg on October 10, 2007 at 8:11 PM
Typically, whoever fires first wins…
Also, who’s leg do you have to hump to get a dry martini around here?
askheaves on October 10, 2007 at 8:11 PM
As the Minister of Mixed Drinks, here ya go…
hollygolightly on October 10, 2007 at 8:12 PM
Heathen
A ‘dry’ martini ain’t no such thing ;-)
Drink your gin & vermouth like a man…
Ochlan on October 10, 2007 at 8:14 PM
Hey,I heard a juicy little tidbit from CoastoCoast
radio last night,it seems Hillary isn’t just promising
the world in this election,but the Moon and Mars.
Richard C Hoagland,former Nasa spokes person was assured by
Hilldabeast that they would be going back to the Moon and on to Mars.So to top it off he claims last night hes a voting Liberal,so sounds like she’s covering all bets.
canopfor on October 10, 2007 at 8:14 PM
hold on now gentlemen, you all know roberts rules of order state that you cannot participate in a shootout if you dont bring your own
clap pidginsliberals to shoot at… Just want to make sure we do this by the book….doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 8:15 PM
I believe that would be my S&W .50 mag……
doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 8:17 PM
hollygolightly
You actually going to let him hump your leg?
I say we shoot him first.
Naw, let’s gang tackle him and taze the stink out of him.
On-my-soap-box on October 10, 2007 at 8:18 PM
But of course….
Excuse me while I drool.
steveegg on October 10, 2007 at 8:19 PM
Will someone please point out to liberals that the 401k plan, moon and mars trips were all ideas created by the evil Bushco and Halliburton.
F15Mech on October 10, 2007 at 8:19 PM
Sounds like a plan, boy needs to be taught a lesson about insulting the Minister of Mixed drinks dry martini’s…
doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 8:20 PM
Now who has a howitzer?
Steveegg on October 10,2007 at8:11PM.
Steveegg:Don’t need no stinking howitzer,how bout a
Richard Bull Supergun they built in Irag.Haha
canopfor on October 10, 2007 at 8:22 PM
I’d love to but I cant get them to put their crack pipe down long enough for them to listen to what I’m telling them…
doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 8:22 PM
Originally, I was going to allow the leg-humping. I now realize your plan is better…”don’t taze me holly!!”
hollygolightly on October 10, 2007 at 8:22 PM
F15 – you need a history lesson. You forgot Rove!
I’m busting you down to an F14. Your lucky you are not getting tazed as well – LOL!
On-my-soap-box on October 10, 2007 at 8:22 PM
I say we stone him, it was been a while since I went to a good stoning.
F15Mech on October 10, 2007 at 8:24 PM
That never actually got built, and the Paris Gun’s on the wrong side of the Atlantic for our purposes.
steveegg on October 10, 2007 at 8:25 PM
How about those Paris Gun’s? She sure does not mind showing them.
Oops, wrong thread – sorry.
As you were.
On-my-soap-box on October 10, 2007 at 8:27 PM
Is it just me, or is O’Reilly loading up on the babes tonight?
steveegg on October 10, 2007 at 8:27 PM
I dont know dude, he looks like he might actually like getting stones, besides he’d just sit on the couch for the rest of the nigh mooching chips and trying to prove how dang philosophical he is.
doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 8:27 PM
Damn, I would rather turn in my wings then be an F-14.
Minister can I get a Patron Margarita on the rocks with no salt?
F15Mech on October 10, 2007 at 8:28 PM
I say we stone him…..
F15Mech on October 10,2007 at 8:24PM.
I say we stone him,I see a song and dance routine
coming up from the politically incorrect movie
“Life of Brian”Hehe.
canopfor on October 10, 2007 at 8:28 PM
Keep yer mind out of da gutter, or The Hammer will fall on you, and not in a good way.
steveegg on October 10, 2007 at 8:28 PM
Ooo, or a flogging by a most fearsome animal: the Canadian Goose, the largest of the North American migratory birds, scary!
hollygolightly on October 10, 2007 at 8:28 PM
Comin’ right up. Still no takers on the Jagger-Bombs??? Despicable.
hollygolightly on October 10, 2007 at 8:30 PM
steveegg
Did you miss the “sorry” part?
Are my eyes stuttering?
On-my-soap-box on October 10, 2007 at 8:31 PM
OK, I’ll take one, but if it gives me the hiccups I’m humping your leg…..
doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 8:32 PM
That never actually got built…
Steevegg on October 10,2007 at 8:25PM.
Yeah,and Bull should have taking Mossad more seriously.
canopfor on October 10, 2007 at 8:33 PM
*Dude’s gonna run outa legs if this keeps up
On-my-soap-box on October 10, 2007 at 8:34 PM
Excellent, I’ll have one with you. As for the leg-humping, get in line brotha! Wait, as our glorious leader, I guess you have carte blanche to skip??
hollygolightly on October 10, 2007 at 8:35 PM
Mea culpa. My eyes are probably stuttering.
Guess I need to switch to something stronger. Holly, Jagger-Bomb please.
steveegg on October 10, 2007 at 8:35 PM
Ditto and a side of leg while you are at it.
On-my-soap-box on October 10, 2007 at 8:37 PM
hmmm, might just be another Ministry position in this administration for someone with such a well defined set of priorities…
doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 8:38 PM
It’s Dennis Miller time – he just had a great wall-construction idea.
steveegg on October 10, 2007 at 8:42 PM
Can I suggest we may also need a minister of fake beards if we are going to stone people.
F15Mech on October 10, 2007 at 8:43 PM
Well fella’s, it has been fun. I hung in as long as I could ’cause I am sure that after the direction this open thread took, it will be a while before we see another (unless the rumor is true that “The Boss” too AP shopping for an iPhoney. He may be feeling charitable if that is the case. not.holding.breath.
On-my-soap-box on October 10, 2007 at 8:44 PM
Right on, now we’re talkin’!
Ya know the old saying, don’t bite the hand that feeds you! Now, as to that new position…
hollygolightly on October 10, 2007 at 8:44 PM
Don’t run just yet, soap-box. Hammer Time is just around the bend.
steveegg on October 10, 2007 at 8:45 PM
Thank you.
steveegg on October 10, 2007 at 8:46 PM
Think you’re up to the challenge?
doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 8:46 PM
LOL I think this will be the last time an open thread occurs on HA.
F15Mech on October 10, 2007 at 8:46 PM
doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 8:46 PM
Sure I why not
F15Mech on October 10, 2007 at 8:47 PM
I’m thinking the much coveted Ministry of Proper Party Etiquette could use a firm hand like yours to guide it….
doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 8:48 PM
HAMMER TIME!
steveegg on October 10, 2007 at 8:49 PM
Great, welcome aboard……
doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 8:50 PM
Well, let’s review the instructions we were left…
I think we had fun, unless you count the ficus, nothing’s broke.
steveegg on October 10, 2007 at 8:50 PM
I would have to agree…
One question, after this thread closes, do we still retain our cabinet positions in the regular threads?
F15Mech on October 10, 2007 at 8:51 PM
That depend on whether Allah or Bryan catch on to our coup…
doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 8:53 PM
Lesson to the wise from the Hammer – do not take nekkid pics of your S.O. on your cell phone and then leave the phone in a cab.
steveegg on October 10, 2007 at 8:54 PM
Unless you have dumped them and are a real jerk….
doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 8:58 PM
I’m back. All that talking about beer, I had to find a ficus tree. That is hard to do in the dark.
On-my-soap-box on October 10, 2007 at 9:00 PM
Either of you boys had the SAdams TripleBock?
Spirit of 1776 on October 10, 2007 at 9:00 PM
If AP doesn’t find a new feed reader, he won’t catch on.
steveegg on October 10, 2007 at 9:01 PM
Noted.
F15Mech on October 10, 2007 at 9:01 PM
Outstanding ale, especially if you’re looking for a quick drunk.
steveegg on October 10, 2007 at 9:01 PM
Now that is good stuff.
F15Mech on October 10, 2007 at 9:03 PM
Yup, that thar is some good stuff Maynard….
Good, since hollygolightly has been promoted to the much coveted Ministry of Proper Party Etiquette were in need of a new
bartenderMinister of mixed beverages and official keeper of the Ice…doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 9:05 PM
I like everything they make except I think the Boston Lager and Boston ale, both are blah. But their other ales are much enjoyed by me.
The Triple-bock is an extraordinary beer – I’ve had one and it was enough…I think I turned into a werewolf for about 1/2 hour.
Spirit of 1776 on October 10, 2007 at 9:05 PM
:) I’d go get some tonight if somewhere near me had it. Of their entire inventory, the Doublebock is prolly my fav.
Spirit of 1776 on October 10, 2007 at 9:07 PM
All that ’cause I pissed on a ficus? HMMMM, what to do for an encore?
On-my-soap-box on October 10, 2007 at 9:08 PM
Uggggg………Blasphemy……..All right guys, let’s gang tackle him and taze the stink out of him…
doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 9:10 PM
It was a Cedar…
doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 9:11 PM
F15Mech on October 10, 2007 at 9:12 PM
Heh. I’m actually glad to hear you like it. I thought it was just being consumed by a bunch of losers with no palate:) Now I know I have you to blame for all the restaurants that choose that one to put on tap and rob me of something actually enjoyable. Now the Black Lager – that’s a damn good beer!
Spirit of 1776 on October 10, 2007 at 9:13 PM
(One more time to get past the spam filter)
passing out fake beards
F15Mech on October 10, 2007 at 9:13 PM
Jeepers. I go away for 10 minutes to do some work and you guys generated all that digital paperwork? Crazy…
(loads up on stone and tazer repellent)
askheaves on October 10, 2007 at 9:14 PM
OK guys, hold on a minute, were going to have to put this one to a vote, he doesn’t like the Boston Lager, which as you all know is legal grounds for having the stink tazed out of him, but there might be mitigating factors here, he does like the Black Lager (Mmmm Black Lager…), so by a show of yea, and na’s, does he still deserve a good tazing?
doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 9:18 PM
yea (just because we can)
F15Mech on October 10, 2007 at 9:20 PM
Don’t tase me bro!
Heh. I’m outta here. You ladies have a good evening. Cheers!
Spirit of 1776 on October 10, 2007 at 9:21 PM
Put the Taser on 3 because he likes Black Lager.
steveegg on October 10, 2007 at 9:21 PM
I have small hands. What can I say? Can’t even fire a .45 revolver. Thumbs can’t reach the hammer. So sad.
Man I can’t believe I missed so much while I sat in traffic for an hour and half. Ok, yeah that was a long time. Who want to get me an Adios MF?
wherestherum on October 10, 2007 at 9:24 PM
Did Hollowpoint drown in the Guinness?
wherestherum on October 10, 2007 at 9:24 PM
I best get out of here before I put my feet in my mouth as deep as I did last night.
Good night, all.
steveegg on October 10, 2007 at 9:24 PM
I can make drinks you can light on fire. Get me a bottle of 151 and a lighter. =D
wherestherum on October 10, 2007 at 9:26 PM
Now where did that hollygolightly slip off to? If she were here doing her job this conundrum would have never crept up. Oh well she’s probably in the closet with Hollowpoint drinking all the Guinness…And hiding from the leprechaun…
doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 9:28 PM
I already told you it was not Guinness. I think he is puking.
On-my-soap-box on October 10, 2007 at 9:28 PM
If the leprechaun’s trying to get the Guinness, can’t we go steal his pot of gold?
Onmysoapbox, you lie! It too was Guinness!
wherestherum on October 10, 2007 at 9:29 PM
Yep holly has started to slack a bit in her duties.
F15Mech on October 10, 2007 at 9:31 PM
Sure I do. And AP is getting an iPhone!
On-my-soap-box on October 10, 2007 at 9:31 PM
Anyway I am out of here for a bit does anyone need a fake beard before I go?
F15Mech on October 10, 2007 at 9:32 PM
I have small hands. What can I say? Can’t even fire a .45 revolver. Thumbs can’t reach the hammer. So sad.
Well while you were gone hollygolightly was promoted from Minister of mixed beverages and official keeper of the Ice… to the much coveted Ministry of Proper Party Etiquette I appointed On-my-soap-box to Minister of mixed beverages and official keeper of the Ice but he defected to become the sub-minister minister of fake beards so I am going to appoint you to the Minister of mixed beverages and official keeper of the Ice…since you do know how to make flaming drinks, that is…..
doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 9:34 PM
I’ll pass, I would have to shave mine off to wear it…
doriangrey on October 10, 2007 at 9:36 PM
Hey, I was demoted for what!?! That’s it, I’m humping a leg.
On-my-soap-box on October 10, 2007 at 9:36 PM
Cool!
I like fire. Fire + alcohol = lots of fun
wherestherum on October 10, 2007 at 9:39 PM
You weren’t demoted, you defected to become the sub-minister minister of fake beards, and there will be no leg humping, unless you get a permission slip sign triplicate by the designated leg humpie and notarized by Ministry of Proper Party Etiquette.
