Flamewar fallout shelter at Rabrrrrrr's place! Come, relax, get naked

[Rabrrrrrr]

I pour Martinis and Cosmopolitans and Aviations for everyone.

Cigars abound.

Please, sit on floor or cushions. Make yourself comfortable. Put on the complimentary silk pajamas or egyptian cotton robes. Or both!

Here, some slippers.

And let me out some gnoshes. No grinding, please - this is Rabrrrrrr's Relaxo-Pad(tm) -

Come, let us talk story.

Let's talk about the best day of your life, the day when you felt totally free and forgot there is a world of demands and pressure and deadlines and just let yourself be totally in the moment, totally yourself and free with no worries or concerns other than the fun you were having at the time - tell us about the weather that day, who you were with, what you were doing, and how it felt.

Come, talk story.

1. hmmmm...needs more pillows in here...

I'll have a diet coke...mind if I take a bong hit...alcohol isn't my thing...now about those pillows

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. Oh, for this event, I have pillows galore! Pillows everywhere!

Pillows that are functional, that you can sit on, wrap yourself around, or wrap around yourself.

Pillows frickin' everywhere! It's like a sheik's tent.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

2. Coffee and milk?

We Brazilians drink that instead of coffee and cream. Yes, let's talk about dietary variations of the world. That's relaxing.

Edit: I'll bring the coffee. Brazilian coffee, ça va sans dire.

[Itascapark]

3. Mind if I put on a CD?

Miles Davis'"Birth of the Cool"?

[ronnykmarshall]

5. How about "Lady In Satin" by BIllie Holiday?

Pass me that bong.

[Itascapark]

10. Mmmmmmmm...nice choice.

Let's put them both on and press "random play".

Vodka Tonic, please.

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. I think that's an excellent choice!!

[ronnykmarshall]

21. Cool idea!

I'll take a Vodka martini, three olives. (gettin' the munchies from that bong hit)

[MuseRider]

4. Music?

Shall we play some music? Something beautiful and quiet, maybe even a little dark.

[skygazer]

6. Lovely cushions

No robe, thanks, though I'll take the slippers. Dry martini please...

I think the best day of my life was my 40th birthday. I had three days off from work and decided to take a birthday road trip. I packed a bag and left directly from work so as to have that evening as well. Two days driving brought me to the Grand Canyon. It was January so there were very few people there.

The day I arrived was my birthday. It was about ten in the morning and beautiful. Clear blue sky, fresh snow on the ground. The canyon was incredible. And I realized, as I stood there gazing at the vastness, that I had finally reached a place in my life where I was truly content. Where I felt like I belonged. It was an epiphany and the best birthday - possibly the best day - of my life.

Mmmm, this martini is excellent...

[Rabrrrrrr]

38. Your birthday sounds awesome!!

I turn 40 this year, and I was just thinking of how to celebrate it. It's not until December, but I thought maybe I could celebrate earlier in the year so I don't have to drive in winter. I was thinking of taking the route 66 drive, which I've never been on.

Or, also thinking of driving across the north US and ending up in Seattle. I've never been through ND, MT, ID, or WA.

[trof]

7. OK, here goes: It was a Terrific Tuesday

according to Alan Sealls, Chief Meteorologist at Channel 5 in Mobile.


CM Sealls is ALWAYS billed as "Chief-Meteorologist-Alan-Sealls", like it was one word, and he's always right, so if he says it was a Terrific Tuesday that's the gospel and I BELIEVE it!

[Bob3]

8. We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert

when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying "I feel a bit lightheaded maybe you should drive"
When suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats all swooping and screeching and diving at the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with its top down to Los Vegas. And a voice was screaming "Holy Jesus! What are those god damned animals!"
Then it was quiet in the car. My attorney had taken his shirt off and was pouring beer on his chest to facilitate the tanning process.
"What the hell are you yelling about" he said staring up at the sun with his eyes closed and covered with wraparound Spanish sunglasses.
"Never Mind" I said "It's your turn to drive."

Sorry I had to add this.
pass the bong.

[trof]

11. Is that you Hunter?

What's it like, wherever you are?

[Bob3]

14. no not really

but nothing has EVER got me higher than the opening to Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas.

"Never mind - it's all a big joke I'm actually sitting beside the pool at the Flamingo. I'm talking from a portable phone. Some Dwarf brought it out from the casino. I have total credit! Can you Grasp that?" I was breathing heavily, feeling crazy, sweating into the phone.
"Don't come anywhere near this place" I shouted "Foreigners aren't welcome here."
All energy flows according the whim of the great magnet. What a fool I was to defy him.

[matcom]

9. i'm already nekkid is there a place for MOI?

i kind of like that fluffy pillow over there in the corner. mind if i just sit, sipping a little Johnny Walker Blue (you DO have 'The Blue' right?) and people watch?

i see NSMA over across the room and if Misunderestimator shows up, well...., this might be fun! :bounce:

[trof]

13. Yeah, just kinda hold the pillow in your lap, OK?

Thanks.
'Preciate it.

[JimmyJazz]

12. Does your fallout shelter look like this?

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. Dude, meaning no offense, BUT - I have taste

No, of course it doesn't look like that.

For one thing, the pool is about 5 times bigger. There is NO - repeat NO - plastic cheap shit furniture anywhere, to say nothing of the fact that there is NO - repeat NO - *&@*(&$# PLASTIC furniture anywhere.

Also, the canopy over my pool was designed by Frank Gehry, not some third-tier architecture school "graduate" who did his interning at Motel 8.

Ewwwww.....and those fake rocks? And the astro-turf? :shudder:

I can't believe you think I would have a place that tacky.

This was supposed to be a calming get-together, a time to talk story. Not a time to flame each other with artistic insults.

[JimmyJazz]

59. Two things: First thing: It's dudette.

Second: cut me a break - I was in a hurry :P

[Rabrrrrrr]

60. Sorry, I use "dude" non-gender-specifically

:-)

[hfojvt]

15. what if the flames follow you?

If someone quoted this from January 2004 would a fight break out?

"O's suck. They don't suck like Red Sox level of suck, of course, but come on. In baseball, there's the Yankees on one level, and then there's every other team on varieties of sub-levels, aspiring to be as good as the Yanks, and they ain't gonna make it."

Sorry, I was reading an old thread the other day and that statement struck me as hilarious.
You just cannot take me anywhere.

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. LOL!

Wow, my own personal stalker... cool!!

Here, have the largest pillow, and the freshest, purest, softest silkiest silk pajamas and robe and a meerschaum pipe and 300 virginal lasses (or laddies, your choice) to rub your toes.

[hfojvt]

26. 300 lasses, but what I really want

is quality time with U!!! :loveya:


Really, that is not the reaction that I want when I razz a Yankees fan. Some kind of ju jitsu move just ruins it for me.

:argh:

[Rabrrrrrr]

28. Woo hoo! Quality time with me! Woo hoo!

And ju jitsu, man - I'm all about derailing people and keeping them wondering wtf is going on.

:-)

[realisticphish]

20. i'm not so big on mixed drinks...

can i have a Killians?

[Rabrrrrrr]

22. a) those are not mixed drinks, they are cocktails

b) you can have all the Killians you want!

[realisticphish]

23. do you pour them straight of a bottle?

nope. you mix them. i win :D


and thanks for the Killians!

[Rabrrrrrr]

24. No, you don't win!!

This isn't supposed to be a flamewar in the Rabrrrrrr Relaxo-Pad!

Anyway, enjoy your Killians.

And, please, feel free to choose a cigar from the walk-in humidor, if you would like.

[realisticphish]

25. nah

don't smoke. well, not tobacco, at least :smoke:

[Bob3]

27. I'll take a good Havana

and some Pierre Ferrand Cognac. I won't need anything else this evening thank you.

[Rabrrrrrr]

29. Absolutely! Go choose whatever cuban you'd like,

and I'll have the cognac, along with a bowl of cashews and a bowl of chocolate covered espresso beans, ready for you when you get back.

The lady in the humidor will light your cigar for you.

[Bob3]

30. Why thank you.

Really any Havana will do - only had one in my lifetime was in favor of normalizing relations with Cuba from that day on.
Just don't run out of the Cognac.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

31. Havanas are OK? Next you'll tell me 18-21 people can drink.

Paging LPFF. Paging Kleeb. Paging name not needed. (I'll photoshop a fake ID for you folks)

[Rabrrrrrr]

37. Yeah, why not...might as well. It's the Rabrrrrrr Relaxo-Pad(tm)

Even if the cops show up, they'll be sucked in like a black hole and will realize that, when all is harmony and talking story in peace and love, their outdated devotion to "laws" and "rules" is far from the Cosmic and Divine Plan as republicans are from Christianity, and they will shed their clothes of oppression - which oppress both them and others - and join us in the first step to humanity's evolution toward the cosmic beings of free energy and pure love which is our destiny.

[Zuni]

61. I just hate pants

:evilgrin:

[Rabrrrrrr]

62. Me, too!!

I'd rather run around in the underwear. Or maybe shorts. Or nude.

[realisticphish]

39. i already am, hahahaha

our host didn't check id's

[MikeG]

32. Toasted plain bagel with strawberry cream cheese, please.

And black coffee. Very black.

[Celeborn Skywalker]

33. I'll take a Martini

so long as it's made with a quality gin such as Tangueray or Bombay Sapphire, none of the cheap stuff.

[Rabrrrrrr]

35. It's all Sapphire, Hendrik's, or Magellan

Your choice!

[SOteric]

34. Pour me a martini, sweetie -

I'll go put on something comfortable.

[Rabrrrrrr]

36. OMG, my heart just stopped

:hi:

One Martini comin' up! And for you, I'll pour the Hendrik's gin.

[GOPisEvil]

40. I have spent the last 2 days in the Texas Panhandle.

Make me a martini, please. A TRIPLE!

:bathrobe::cigar::slippers::pillows:

Ahhhhhhhhh....

[Rabrrrrrr]

46. OMG! You poor, poor soul

Of course you may have a triple! And I'll ask everyone to speak a little quieter for a few minutes so you can fully relax until the cigar woman is done lighting your cigar and you are fully satisfied with it. Once you have the cigar you covet, and are on your second Martini, and are fully relaxed, then we'll bring the conversation back to normal.

[GOPisEvil]

48. I was almost in *gulp* Oklahoma!!!

I am feeling MUCH better now. Thanks so much for your hospitality.

[Rabrrrrrr]

49. My God, it must have been worse than I thought!

Not Oklahoma!

[DS1]

41. Ohh I'll have a martini

You'll find me in my silk boxers in the hot tub :D

[fluffernutter]

42. a martini sounds divine right now.

your pad is so comfy - i love silk pj's. ahhhhh

[GOPisEvil]

43. Hey stranger!

I haven't seen you in a month of Sundays! Where ya been hiding yourself?

[fluffernutter]

45. hey cutie!

i've missed you most of all :hug:

took a little vacay, all tan and happy and good to be back :)

[GOPisEvil]

47. Oooooooh....tanned, rested and ready?

Sounds nice!

You missed me most of all? How sweet! :hug:

Keep calling me cutie - my ego LOVES it. :7

[Skip Intro]

44. ahhhh - your place sounds great

I don't know anything about "the flamewar" (there's always a flamewar), but reading your post was like taking a valium.

That's a compliment.

Thanks.

"relax, get naked" - that's great

[aQuArius]

50. Can someone fix my car....

while I hang out here? I have no money to pay you to fix it though. I need a drink....

[Rabrrrrrr]

51. I'll have one of the estate's mechanics get right on it!

It'll be in factory-new running condition by the time you leave the Relaxo-pad. Just leave the keys with me, and all shall be done according to your wishes. It'll come back cleaned, waxed, and vacuumed, too, with new wiper blades, new filters, an oil change, and the tires rotated, balanced, and set to the exact pressure they need.

Your seat will have a box of chocolates and a diamond on it when you receive it.

[aQuArius]

52. Wishing so bad that would come true....

I'm almost crying while laughing about my F%#@ing car! Thanks :)

[Rabrrrrrr]

53. Yeah, I wish I was rich. If I were, that's exactly what it would be like

at the Rabrrrrrr estate.

And how am I sure of that?

Because the only reason I want to be rich is to have an estate like that. Otherwise, the riches don't interest me at all.

[aQuArius]

64. I only want $25,000

to buy a new, reliable, environmentally-frienly vehicle WITH A F#$%ing WARRANTY! LOL

[Zuni]

54. Rabrrrrr----I am going to borrow your acupuncturist and your massage

girls for a couple of hours....I hope that is ok. :evilgrin:

Oh, and I am going to need some Otis Redding CDs

But thanks for having us over. This place has real class.

[Redstone]

55. Cigars? You got cigars?

That means there are ashtrays there, doesn't it?

The mark of any truly civilized shelter.

But you shouldn't have to provide everything. Anything I can bring?

Redstone

[Rabrrrrrr]

58. I would not be my true hosting self if I asked you to bring anything

All shall be provided by me - it was my invitation.

But, that said, if there's anything you want to bring, I also will not stop you from doing so - what kind of host would I be to refuse a gift? Especially if it is a gift which can be shared by all.

How generous and wondrous of you!

[Redstone]

63. A five-gallon jerrycan

full of Mango Margaritas.

To be shared by all, of course.

Redstone

[Rabrrrrrr]

65. As long as they aren't blended, and you'll be serving them straight up

I'll provide the appropriate cocktal glasses.

But, you know what? Even if they are of the "blended abomination" sort, it's a relaxo-party, so what the hell. I'll even pull those excrable cactus-stemmed "cute" party margarita glasses that the lady in the trailer court down the street gave me for running to the store to pick her up a few cartons of generic menthol cigarettes and some lottery tickets.

[Amaya]

56. I'll have a dry martini and a cabana boy

please...

[SmokingJacket]

57. Don't mind if I do... thanks for the invite...

Reminds me of the day I sat naked with some other folks in a natural hot spring in Idaho, and watched a moose walk by. Ahh... heaven on earth. The sound of water rushing by, the dripping green moss, blue sky, the hot rocks under me... everyone unself-conscious and happy.

What a memory.

[hunter]

66. Beer. Good dark beer.

And peace.

[Rabrrrrrr]

67. As much as you can drink!

Use any of the twenty taps located around the premises and by the pool and the hot tub and on every tee off on the golf course.
