Gorge Crew 2004

[dancergirl40ky]

Hi Jason. I am really looking forward to it myself. You going to be doing alot of cooking?

[greppson]

probably a good amount. i love being able to cook, reminds of when i used to work in a restaurant.

[theTabasco®Kid]

Our thanksgiving feast at April's dad is being completely catered... So, we won't have to lift a finger (except to open beers) all day!

God, this is gonna ROCK!

[angelces]

Sounds like a good plan, I wouldnt want to work and not make any money either. You will just have to watch yourself on NYE and get some of those Hangover Pills I have been seeing every where. :lol

Hi Tom and Anna, I am putting up my tree everyone, so I am in and out. :p
well NYE is a friday and we will most likely be dead by around 10 so everyone should be out (but for the closers) by then. And we don't open saturdays until 3:30 so that leaves a lot of time for both partying and recovering. :lol

I love to do the cooking. That is the fun for me , that and the parade :D I use plenty of wine and sometimes I put it in the food. ;)

:bounce Its all worked out then :D Glad I could help :rolleyes:

[angelces]

the cooking is my favorite part about turkey day.

though it's going to be weird this year me not being at home for christmas. I haven't started to process that really, like no family tree and I have to get my own tree (if at all) and get my own decorations... ew. I'm gonna not think about this again until after thanksgiving...

[devilish@darts]

I will be frying the bird on Thanksgiving - Family Tradition. Who gets toasted first, the bird or the out-laws (My sister-in-law's husband and I). :lol

[theTabasco®Kid]

I would fry one too if I were cooking...

Please remember! Turn off the flame just while you put the bird in the oil. Then turn it back on.

[dancergirl40ky]

I was so proud of my first tree. I was living in Maine, all my family in KY. It was 4ft tall and filled with ballerina ornaments :), Now my tree is 7ft I think and I change it all the time. This year it is going to be fun and whimsical. Last year it was white and blue and very fancy.

[dancergirl40ky]

I like the fried turkeys, but I prefer them at another time.

[devilish@darts]

We live life dangerously and fry in the garage - and yea, turning the flame off is always a good thing.

As for Christmas Trees - we always get ours the weekend after Thanksgiving. I have been begging for a 10foot tree (vaulted ceilings), but alas we always get the funky tree and decorate with a variety of kid made, parent made ornaments.

I came up with a solution to that. I got my boy a smaller tree and they have it in the game room. They get to decorate it however they want :D

Good idea - I have a couple of four foot trees somewhere in the depths of my storage.

Cool, and they really have fun doing it. My twelve year old put hooks in Mountain Dew and Dr Pepper cans last year and put them on it. I was festive. :lol

Isn't that the truth. It really was pretty cute.

[dancergirl40ky]

i'm gonna have a pretty tree!! dammit!
:lol

I am sure it will be.

Tom's tree is going to be decorated with empty Yueng bottles, CD's, and cranberries strung on guitar string. :p

[angelces]

we should make up themed trees for each member of the gorge...

:lol

[dancergirl40ky]

Crumbo's- Cigarettes, various beer bottles, fruit, and a map so he would get lost when wondering off.

I love you sweetie.

[Peachy34]

ooh! and we have to share pics of our trees when they are done... i really want a real tree this year- they are such a mess but they smell soooo good!

oh! and i started making cookie dough last night in prep for this ants cookie thing:)

what could i put on my gorge tree?

[Crumbo]

where's that middle finger smiley :p ;)

no tree for me....Wanny would have a field day

I think we have one at work :)

I hate the holidays......I'm waiting patiently for Jan. 2nd (and Jan. 9th :D )

i know in this state to have one in a place of business it has to be plastic otherwise it's a fire hazard. Not sure how it works in your state but thought i would give you a heads up.

Wanny is exactly the reason why you should have one. Hang cat nip sachets all over it and watch her go nuts. :lol

[dancergirl40ky]

Ummm, What is on the 9th?

[devilish@darts]

Ummm, What is on the 9th?
I am curious too - should I put it on my calendar for something exciting?

[greppson]

my family ALWAYS has a real tree.

i love it.:)

[FPrefect61]

Whenever we get a real tree, I'm responsible for watering it. Whenever I do, someone in my family always takes a picture of my ass while I'm under the tree. :BANG

One year we stole a Christmas tree. :lol

[Trainer2375]

real trees are the only way to go, i've never had a fake one! :)

hello again!

[Crumbo]

Tom....tell everyone what Jan. 9th means

Hi Tom and Anna, I am putting up my tree everyone, so I am in and out. :pThose pills work too! My cousin and myself took them for the 2 L.A show's!!

[Crumbo]

I bet you've faked it lots of times.

:p

:lol :lol

[FPrefect61]

I'm more excited for Jan 9th than Thanksgiving and Christmas put together. :D

I'm going to my friend's house to watch it. 6.1 DTS, huge ass HDTV. Oh yeah!

[angelces]

eh, I just drink water. drunkness and hangovers are just a result of cellular dehyrdation. and them attempting to carry on normal cellular functions with alchohal and not water.

drink enough water and you won't get a hangover or if you do and you drink enough water after it will go away much faster.

[devilish@darts]

Oh!! The light bulb is burning at a 25 watts today instead of the normal 75watts.

[Crumbo]

I'm more excited for Jan 9th than Thanksgiving and Christmas put together. :D

that reminds me....I need to call Comcast and get that HDTV/DVR box installed

57" widescreen :)

[Trainer2375]

I bet you've faked it lots of times.

:p
maybe just once or twice, but the real thing is always much better! ;)

[angelces]

you don't want it. digital cable sucks. it will randomly pixelate the whole screen or if you're lucky like me, need to be hard reboot by the cable company every couple of months to make the sound work again.

[devilish@darts]

speaking of which there's a new chapter in THAT saga. anyone want to lend me 2Gs to move out of my apartment? I just need the security and first month's rent on a new place... *sigh*

[devilish@darts]

If you move to Nebraska (yea, right)!!! you only need 1k. - and that would last for first, last and security deposit.

[MAM2STEPN]

eh, I just drink water. drunkness and hangovers are just a result of cellular dehyrdation. and them attempting to carry on normal cellular functions with alchohal and not water.

drink enough water and you won't get a hangover or if you do and you drink enough water after it will go away much faster.Boy I sure could have used this advice last week:BANG

[angelces]

my friend drinks a cup of water with every drink and swears by it. but she's also in the bath room all night. I usually wake up at the buttcrack of dawn after drinking all night so I usually get up drink a couple glasses of water and go back to bed. by the time i wake up the second time the hangover is gone.

[FPrefect61]

Eh, I drink and drink, fuck the water. If I wake up with a hangover, then I have an excuse to be a prick to everyone. :evil

[mrottondo]

what i would give to see the Gorge again....ahhhh such a GORGEous view

[FPrefect61]

what i would give to see the Gorge again....ahhhh such a GORGEous view
It really is. The pictures you see don't come close to doing the view justice.

Did you hear they're planning on building some sort of hippie hotel around the venue? It'll destroy it. :(

[angelces]

[FPrefect61]

"who the fuck are they and what are they doing at our table?" :lol
If you just got up from a nap, and wanted to sit outside in the peace and quiet, drink a beer, and sit at the table.

But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, fucking squatters are taking up all the room...

[Trainer2375]

[FPrefect61]

[angelces]

but they did eat my brownies.

[FPrefect61]

They ate the brownies?!?

Bastards...

[angelces]

they helped me tape back together my poor excuse for a tent!

which I'm half convinced they or someone else helped break by falling on it. but that's besides the point.

[Peachy34]

the girl tent rocked. i actually slept really well in there.

[angelces]

i did too until the sun came up and it got hot in there. :lol I'm surprised the guys behaved themselves and left us alone in there. :lol

You are out of touch, but we do what must be done, and we are not nearly as important as your dream, your future and your family. We think of you , and miss you and will be here whenever you have the time. :hug


Gee thanks.... ;)

[MAM2STEPN]

which I'm half convinced they or someone else helped break by falling on it. but that's besides the point.Did your tent get blown away from the crazy wind on Sat at the Gorge? I camped at Vantage and there were tents flying it was crazy! My tent collapsed and had to be jimmied together again! The wind was so strong that the port a pottie tipped over! But once we got to the venue the wind was mild there!

[WineSnob]

I am so out of the loop.. WTF is going on on Jan 9????

Ang's tent was "damaged" in the wind on Saturday. We had to do repairs at midnights, in the dark... and wind. But the squatters helped! :lol

Stopped on the way home and had a beer or two at happy hour... and that's why I didn't have any wine tonight. But I did glance at the bottle and consider it.

:cool:

[WineSnob]

Hi Brian :) So do you think I should get Joey an electric guitar for christmas?? They have a cute lil half and amp for $100 at the music store *yeah I am a sucker*

[GoldnFear]

[WineSnob]

His guitar teacher suggested it. I guess I will go look tomorrow. He will FREAKKKKKKKK OUUUUUTTT on Christmas morning if he gets that. I am thinking of getting Alex some camera accessories.

[GoldnFear]

I need some good (not TOOO expensive, not too predictable) present ideas for my wife. Not only for x-mas but her bday which is a couple weeks BEFORE x-mas!!!

I love being pampered. I good massage or peticure is a gift for her birthday. As for christmas. I always like to get perfume, music, books, jewelery (earings don't have to be expensive...silver is pretty too ;))

[GoldnFear]

She doesn't like movies as much as me. She kinda likes books but dropped out of the bookclub cuz she never put in the time.... etc....

I dunno. I go through this EVERY year. Some comfy and/or sexy attire, some jewelry maybe, candles, a random DVD sometimes.... :rolleyes:

[theTabasco®Kid]

Get her a crock pot and a new vacuum.


Then run.

[GoldnFear]

Yeah I've done the Day Spa gift certs before....

I really just wish I could find that "I'm a kid and my parents just got me an electric geetar"-perfect jaw-dropping present....!!!!

Okay, that didn't make much sense, but you still laughed!

[GoldnFear]

So I tried scanning on eof the FEW pics I have home (from the academy)....

By One Love, you mean "One" right? :p

After Brace Yourself, he probably did Colplay's "Don't Panic". He's been doing that a lot this tour.

[greppson]

yes tom, and as i can't remember if i've heard don't panic by them or not... but if it has the phrase "trouble with you" in it, then yes, he did do that outro.

[DMBeener]

Hi everyone! :) I have access to the internet again...thanks Comcast :rolleyes

I'm not gonna backread a week's worth of stuff...what did I miss? :)

[WineSnob]

I need some Tom, Jas or Rob advice:

There is a 3/4 size Dean, amp and all for $150...even in the black and white design he wants. What do you all think???

Absolutely, go for it! Even though he's damn good, he should still be playing a beater guitar for another couple of years. That price for everything is great.

In other news, the test today was cakewalk, but the important stuff happened when I got home. There was a letter for me from the NYPD (the test I took a couple weeks ago).

I PASSED!!! Not that I wasn't sure it was going to happen, but I'm to report to the Academy next Saturday for the next phase. If all goes well, I'll be accepted into the Academy. :D

OMG TOM!!!! That is fantastic!!!!! :multi :multi :multi So happy for you! Bet you are a cop by March ;)

[theTabasco®Kid]

Tom's going to be a cop?
Great, now he can never come over to our house.

[WineSnob]

In case Rob, Tom or Jas come in anytime soon..here's what I am looking at:

[dancergirl40ky]

I love being pampered. I good massage or peticure is a gift for her birthday. As for christmas. I always like to get perfume, music, books, jewelery (earings don't have to be expensive...silver is pretty too ;))

Yep , pamper me Pllllleeeeaaaassssee :D

[dancergirl40ky]

Get her a crock pot and a new vacuum.


Then run.

and Fast :lol :lol

[WineSnob]

Yep , pamper me Pllllleeeeaaaassssee :D

Hi Stace!!! I need a mom's opinion :)

Santa is thinking of getting the boys an X box or somthing like that..what do you think? Should I let him?

[dancergirl40ky]

I really like this one.

[dancergirl40ky]

I was able to enlarge it some. You might actually be able to tell it's me now (bottom left). :lol


Notice the #'s on our helmets.... we are our #'s for the 10+ weeks up there (for the most part)!!!


Fire! Fire! Help! (Send the one on the left please) :D ;)

[WineSnob]

Here's some good earrings :

I like the silver and amethyst ones :)

[dancergirl40ky]

Trip on your hose, buddy!


Wow, he can trip on his hose? I never knew. :p

[WineSnob]

Wow, he can trip on his hose? I never knew. :p

:evil That trip would have been a lil more interesting, had we known

J/K Bri :hug

[dancergirl40ky]

Hi Stace!!! I need a mom's opinion :)

Kenny wants an X Box Huh? :lol :lol

My kids love their video games, too much if you ask me. If you are good about time restrictions it should be fine, but they are addicting.

[dancergirl40ky]

:evil That trip would have been a lil more interesting, had we known

J/K Bri :hug


:lol :lol Isn't that the truth. Did Brian go swimming? That would have been even more interesting than Tom's surprise. :p

[dancergirl40ky]

I think the guitar is great.

I am doing a fishing pole, Mario Tennis, 2 outfits, a book and I don't know what else for Colin

Justin so far a shirt he wanted, some good cologne, his letter jacket, Bob Marley Box Set, Tony Hawk Underground II, CD Clock Radio.

[WineSnob]

Kenny wants an X Box Huh? :lol :lol

A friend only lets her boys play on Saturdays...I thought tht was a good rule.

Yeah. Kenny has been dying for one :lol

[theTabasco®Kid]

No. I do not want an XBox. Nor do I want a Playstation2, GameCube or N-whatever. I hate video games. I suck at video games.

Solitaire is about all I can handle.

[dancergirl40ky]

Yeah it would be a good rule if you can stick to it. Yours are younger and have other things to occupy them, mine are a little more difficult. Now that soccer season is over, Justin wants to do little more and so far his school grades are great so I can't even use that as a argument.

[dancergirl40ky]

No. I do not want an XBox. Nor do I want a Playstation2, GameCube or N-whatever. I hate video games. I suck at video games.

Solitaire is about all I can handle.

:lol :lol Ok Ok, calm down friend, so I should send you a deck of cards for Christmas ;)

[asmjm39]

is that reverse psychology?

[Mark]

No. I do not want an XBox. Nor do I want a Playstation2, GameCube or N-whatever. I hate video games. I suck at video games.

My reputation is just now spreading..... :evil ;)








And great job Tom!!! Good luck in the next step(s)!!!

[dancergirl40ky]

Hey there toots, how goes the hose ? LOL

[GoldnFear]

Toots?!

The hose is... well good! I mean after all.. it is a weekend, so I'm home. :evil

[dancergirl40ky]

Yeah, toots. I don't know I just felt like saying it. Home is good. What kind of break do you get for Thanksgiving? My kids are out of school starting Wednesday and go back Monday. I got all my decorating done today and plan to clean carpets tomorrow. Or maybe I will shop tomorrow and clean carpets Tuesday. Hee Hee, decisions, decisions.

[GoldnFear]

I have 3 full days this week then I'm off for 4 (Thur - Sun).

Our house is the location for an ornament swap thing my wife does (with her mom, sis and about 8 or 9 other people). So next weekend will be the full-court press to get fully decorated (cuz the date of the event is Dec 2nd I believe)!

:BANG

[dancergirl40ky]

Hey , there is nothing wrong with that. Just think of how you will be able to enjoy them when they are done. :)

[GoldnFear]

Yeah yeah I know. It just takes so darn long to do.... My wife collects one of those Dept 56 "villages". That alone can take a day!

But you're right. Before Dec even starts I can start enjoying it too.

[FPrefect61]

Hey Brian, should I put the NYPD logo for my avatar? We can match. :lol

[dancergirl40ky]

I don't know how it is in your house, but I do most all of the work on ours. My oldest helped me get the stuff out of the attic. I started on Tuesday, cleaned and rearranged , Wednesday I put up one of the trees and put lights on it. Thursday I finished it. Friday and Saturday I didn't do much work and today I finish all the rest. Another tree, my snowman collection..... and put all the boxes and stuff back up in the attic. It looks so nice :) I wish Dave would do a Christmas CD LOL

[dancergirl40ky]

Hey Brian, should I put the NYPD logo for my avatar? We can match. :lol


I don't think I said "Way to Go Tom!!!!" :D

[Crumbo]

:lol :lol :lol :lol

[GoldnFear]

Hey Brian, should I put the NYPD logo for my avatar? We can match. :lol


:lol

Go for it!!!




ANd Stace, in our house it's pretty equal. Although I admit after 6, 7, 8 hours of it I do end up getting lazy.... But I always help with the boxes (to/from the attic), etc!


Ok, this stinks. I was gonna post a label or two that I made (using MediaFace) but I can't with the file type (mfp). And I can't find a way to save it as another file type so it works!!!
:BANG

[WineSnob]

Hi everyone :) Hope all is well!

[angelces]

[theTabasco®Kid]

When did we play video games?

[FPrefect61]

Today I get to tell my boss to go fuck himself, I'm done with this job! :evil


Okay, so I really won't tell him to go fuck himself, but I will tell him I won't be here much longer, and I'm going to start taking more days off if the academy needs me. :D

[FPrefect61]

Well, he is my step-uncle... :lol

I'll tell him to go fuck himself and throw a rock at him too.

[theTabasco®Kid]

Is "throw a rock at him" cop-speak for "pop a cap in his ass"???

[FPrefect61]

Is "throw a rock at him" cop-speak for "pop a cap in his ass"???
:lol Not to my knowledge. I just like throwing rocks at people. I'm all in favor in bringing stoning back as a form of execution.

[FPrefect61]

:lol I love that movie, I should make all my holy roller friends watch it.

For the next phase of the application, I have to bring in a copy of my college transcript. I printed it out just now. Man, I did shitty in school. :lol Funny thing is, the year I drank the most was the year I got my highest grades. The moral? The more you drink, the better in school you do. :evil

[angelces]

very happy for you tom!!

[FPrefect61]

Thank ya, thank ya.

The only bummer about this is I was hoping to have to go to Philly to pick up an official transcript, but they take an unofficial one from online. Guess I'll have to work tomorrow. :(

[angelces]

I just printed out the resource booklet for the next couple of steps... Good God!! :ugh: You've gotta see the obstacle course I'm going to have to run. :BANG

[Trainer2375]

ooh fun stuff! :lol have you been running still?

[FPrefect61]

Not for a month or two... :(

I have to bench press 92% of my body weight once (160), do 41 situps in a minute, and run a mile and a half in 12:38...

Oh boy...

i've been running a lot lately, but i need to start doing some upper body work.

Time to pray for a workout miracle. :lol

You're so screwed!
Try not to OVER train... Muscles build on the rest days between workouts... Training everyday or every other day will cost you progress as you'll just be tearing down the muscle tissue and never letting it heal (stronger).

Good luck, Casper Milquetoast!

If I've got 3-4 weeks to prepare, what do you recommend?

[devilish@darts]

I like Ang's recommendation.

Good LUck Tom

[dancergirl40ky]

If I've got 3-4 weeks to prepare, what do you recommend?

Lose about 50 lbs. :lol , sorry Tom, just kidding. Good Luck with that it sounds very tough.

[FPrefect61]

Lose about 50 lbs. :lol , sorry Tom, just kidding. Good Luck with that it sounds very tough.
You may have an idea there... :lol If I can find a way to lose a massive amount of weight in addition to getting a bit stronger, I won't have to bench as much.

Hmmm, no dinner tonight. :p

Please keep in mind I am just kidding... Partly...

[dancergirl40ky]

Just lose the weight sencibly along with the workout and you will be better off all together.

[GoldnFear]

If I've got 3-4 weeks to prepare, what do you recommend?


Every other day, like Kenny said. Mix up your exercises (bench presses, push-ups, flies, etc) to work the same muscles groups you want to improve.



In somewhat related news, since I got here I went from 1½ mi in 12+ min to 11½ min. I took 30+ seconds off... just from continuous training.

:multi

[devilish@darts]

Hi Brian!!! :multi

[GoldnFear]

Hey Chriss!

Another day down (in a short week). Just stopping in to check email, PMs, etc...

:thumbsup

[devilish@darts]

Woo Hoo - I think we are all excited about the short week.

Been playing lots of poker lately - and I can say, I am ahead (we are talking small change though).

I gotta go to the library tomorrow, I'll see if it's there.

Man, I'm too pooped to poop right now. Did 15 minutes on the treadmill almost at the pace I need to finished that mile and a half. I'm gonna need another two-two and a half weeks to make it.

As for the bench press, I'm praying for a miracle. :lol At least I only have to do one rep, and if I drop as much weight (healthily of course) between now and the test, that's less I'll have to bench. Basically, it's lots of cardio and smart eating for a long, long time. Tonight I had half a steak quesadilla with a banana. :)

[asmjm39]

Tom, congrats on the test and stuff, hopefully you will soon be one of NYC's finest




that wasnt a come-on either, I think

There's no way I can cut out carbs. Not eat as many, yeah, but no way can I cut them out all together.

Like tonight, instead of using a roll for my meal, I used one of those low fat tortilla wraps.

Absolutely!

Kudos to Crumbo!!
