Let's all wrap our hands up in bandages and stuff ourselves into the photo booth!

Msngr... glad to hear you're OK. Enjoy the party, you're on your own for the wipin' however. lol Take care MESSERS

if i can sneak away from the ladyfriend and my household chores that have been long neglected i'll come by... or if i can convince michele to come too.

Msngr 01-24-06 11:32 AM

ah, bring michele down. we don't bite (though we have chased a few significant others away with debaucherous attitudes).

mareesha, that blows. RICE, rest, ice, compression, and elevation. make sure you compress your head a lot. a lot.


the rest of the sob story:
on the way back from DC, i left my lock and chain on the bus.

yesterday, on the way to work (as a walker! --6 tags all day), i tried to adjust my phone holster with the paw. i guess i didn't do it right. lost the phone. luckily (?) i had my old nextel lying around and it still worked. until i ran out of battery today. should have found that charger before going to work.

more to the story later. i just got run #3 for the day. yay.

i have a pretty basic unlocked phone that you can use if you have a phone that uses SIM cards and can ask yr provider for a new one (they'll usually give you one for free). PM me if you want it.

That sucks B. I have a spare mini Ulock you can use. Not much help for work I know, but better than nothing. Let me know if you need it.
I'm walking tomorrow if it kills me. No way I'm staying home another day.
Wow do I feel stupid for not wearing my helmet, I'd be back at work right now if I had been.

This is why I wear a helmet aaaallllll the time. It just isn't worth it. Plus, my helmet messes my hair up in a way that I actually like once it's done being sweaty. When I don't wear the helmet, the hair's all flat & kinda boring.

Yeah, and it keeps me from dying.

TRaffic Jammer 01-24-06 12:49 PM

Don't sweat it... I swear we all have those brain bucket moments..... DAMN shoulda coulda... least you're here and can still read a post.

wangster 01-24-06 01:38 PM

Oh yeah, I have a ny chain collecting dust so if you want that heavy ass mother give me a ring and let me know.

turd 01-24-06 02:46 PM

hey i just had a thought -- can happy hour also include a "steal msngr's pain pills" party?

luggedwithlove 01-24-06 10:43 PM

umm, my asthma is still acting up. wtf.
had fun tonight ya'll.

turd 01-24-06 10:57 PM

aw babe, sorry you're still not feeling great...

also, a word to the wise: please don't ever let msngr near any butter, lest you want to be the pan to his pam (aka butter spray dispenser).. EW.

roscoenyc57 01-25-06 08:15 AM

good to see so many people out last night. Ave B looks better w more bikes.

MSNGR. ring that bell.

the Lakeside thanks you all.

wangster 01-25-06 08:51 AM

Roscoe, your awsome!

Msngr, I hope you found that key, or you'll be showering with that chain for a while.

Good to see everyone and have a nice drink after work.

TRaffic Jammer 01-25-06 09:25 AM

LOL did you chain him?

Msngr 01-25-06 02:48 PM

thanks to everyone here, team puma, steve the greek, and roscoe and trackstar, of course. ch0mb0 gave me a bell. no, not that kind --the kind deli's used to have on the counter.

best story of the night (alluded to above):
wangster loans me his chain and lock. after a bit of key confusion, he hands the key to me and says, "whatever you do, DON'T LOSE THIS KEY." i said, "no sweat. i'm going over to my bag right now and hooking it onto the interior clasp thingy, sweetheart." ok, i didn't say sweetheart. whatever.

short story short, i lost the key from one end of the room to the other. i think i am just used to my key being on a string and attached to me, and i just let go of it. it must have been pretty funny to an outsider, though. cuz i was dumping everything out of my bag thinking i might have dropped it in there. old candy kisses, sharpies, pens, receipts, condoms, pennies, tools, aspirin. everywhere.

by the way, everyone, i got my phone back.

turd 01-25-06 02:54 PM

nothing better than seeing a trashed msngr with not one but TWO chains around his waist and a key that's been lashed to his wrist with two cable ties..

TRaffic Jammer 01-26-06 11:45 AM
