The Rising Tide conference was an unabashed success, which is a bit of a shock, relief, and pride to the organizers.
Me, I bow humbly for providing the sound, but take all the kudos in the cosmos for being the one to get Dunbar's to cater the fried chicken, red beans and rice, and cornbread.
BTW, Dunbar's is opening up tomorrow (Monday!) in Cabra Hall on the Broadway campus of Loyola. Let's give 'em da bidness!
Unfortunately, some fuckmook wandered over from the bar and tried to get in an argument with me. He provided Irrefutable Anecdotal Evidence (tm), so I was supposed to bow, admit defeat, and continue with my tail between my legs.
Then he tried to converse with me during a break. He assumed he knew all about my political bent because I was wearing this beautiful shirt, provided to me by Blake Haney and Dirty Coast. I was wearing the shirt because all the clothes I came in were drenched when I went out to get the Dunbar's chicken. Fuckmook. Move aside and just let me pee.
Oh, and if I had it to do over again, I would have simply said: "Did you pay the $20 registration? No? Then shut the fuck up and get the hell out, fuckmook."
Irrefutable Anecdotal Evidence. Use the term often.
More soon!
The adventurous and perilous and heroic journey to retrieve the lost chickens and beans will never be forgotten (by me).
You were batman, and I was robin. And our trusty batmobile became... amphibious.
I trust Mrs Morris enjoyed the take home plate?

Your contribution was much more vital than that of Robin. Perhaps more like Kato to my Green Hornet.
And yes, the woodgrain wallpaper bedecked batmobile was amphibious. Indeed.
Mme. Morrisova was extremely happy, which meant I was not beaten about the head and neck, and thus, happy. Kudos to the bivalve for his contributions.

Irrefutable Anecdotal Evidence of what exactly? What was the argument about?

Jeez, Oyster and Ashley can you promise me not to wear tights?

Scott: my proposition was that if any pupil can attend any school, then the top 3-5 schools would be inundated with applicants. This guy claims to have been a teacher in a remedial program, and said only 3 students in the entire school wanted to transfer elsewhere, allegedly because of parent apathy. Then he started talking about his brother-in-law the cop getting shot at in the convention center and other irrefutable anecdotal evidence.
I won't wear tights if you bow down and kiss the ring of he who brought Dunbar's to the party, both organizationally and physically. Bow!

I'll kiss you ring gladly if you'll kiss my ring for working my ass off with the panels. Deal?
Posted by: Adrastos | 28 August 2006 at 09:53 AM
I'll kiss the ring, but I ain't bowin. Bad back from carryin' the PA equipment.
