Kiss the Blarney Stone on my behalf.
Er, um, that is:
Kiss the Blarney StoneCoit Tower on my behalf.
You should definitely blog that. I await your post Coital.
(Becks, dude, we're trying to set you guys up! Don't go inviting everyone else to come along!)
If I actually got together with everyone people have tried to set me up with on Unfogged, I'd be the biggest ho in blogland.
ogged, w-lfs-n, Mutombo, Drymala, who else?
The Janus-faced Weiner feigns innocence, though he well knows his own name should be on that list, due to his own efforts.
Dude, by transitivity that means yours is too.
Yes, as if you yourself haven't suggested more names than that! Forsooth.
that means yours is too.
"is" s/b "should"
8: Wastn't there an effort at one point (perhaps ongoing) to fix Becks up with the man whom some call Tim? Or am I imagining things?
Er, so I guess that means I won't be meeting anyone, preferably sometime including the hour of 7, at a place tackily near the Financial district?
11: Which other names? I honestly can't remember, it all blurs together in a haze of good deeds done dirt cheap.
10: And here again, epistemologist by vocation, employer of highly dubious logic by avocation. The mere fact of observing that you had tried to insinuate yourself into Becks' affections does not constitute an attempt, on my part, to arrange a match, thus no secret passion of mine is revealed by transitivity or any other property.
Which is the true Weiner? Does he even know anymore?
at a place tackily near the Financial district
*Near* the Financial District is not a problem. *In* the Financial District is a problem. (I'm in.)
The act of noting that I desire Becks is itself an attempt to fix us up, because I am so irresistible that on learning that the shining glance of Weiner's attention has fallen on her she must inevitably succumb.
Or: I didn't try to fix us up before, either, I just betrayed my own secret passion.
It's gotta be one or the other.
I'd be the biggest ho in blogland.
Eh, doubtful (that link is work-safe, but clicking through is decidedly not). Your best option would be to save all your hott Becks-style lovin' for me.
God, Weiner, if that's how you ask a girl out, the bloom of youth will have withered on the vine while she parses the sentence.
"To note my jones is to jump my bones"
the bloom of youth will have withered on the vine while she parses the sentence.
I reckon she will be overpowered by the syntax -- give her pretty strawberry-blonde ponytails a girlish toss, giggle, and fall into his arms.
Anyway, Saheli, you should disregard us and totally plan to come to the meetup.
strawberry-blonde ponytails
I think TMK has me confused with another. Or, perhaps, the Becks that would fall for Weiner is not the True Becks but the one of TMK's invention.
And to Saheli and Andy, yay! I'm just waiting to hear back on one thing before I know when I can meet up.
I thought Weiner had the strawberry blond hair. (No pigtails, though.)
24 -- I was talking about the generic girl whose youth was going to with on the vine whilst she tried to unravel Weiner's proposal.
And Cala is right that pigtails is what I meant, not pony-. How come I always get those two nouns mixed up?
Maybe you should just say she gives her tail a toss.
Joe D now, Joe D forever. (And, seriously, "Jody and Becks"; cute.)
If I actually got together with everyone people have tried to set me up with on Unfogged, I'd be the biggest ho in blogland.
And what's wrong with that?
I am
Nothing
You are
Wind and water and sky,
Joe D
If only he were around to appreciate that.
I've heard good things about the Orbit Room, including that Alberta Straub recently won a contest with a drink incorporating cucumber water!
And what's wrong with that?
Oh, stop frontin', B. You aren't even trying.
26: Blondish, but definitely not strawberry. If I were to grow a beard, it would be redder, but that hasn't happened since a frisbee injury put my shaving hand in a splint for a few months.
Who am I to stop cucumbers from mating?
Will there be interest in food at the meetup, or are we drinking our dinner? (Personally, I vote for Zeitgeist, since the weather should be nice enough to sit out back and there'll be plenty of space, but as a lurker I don't know how much my vote counts for.)
I can get to a meetup between 7:30 - 8. (Meaning surely by 8 but may show up earlier.) I have no concept of SF geography or drinking establishments so will gladly just show up where told.
Hmm, now that I am looking at a map I see that neither Orbit nor Zeitgeist are more than minimally BART friendly. On the other hand, if Becks can't come till 8 you probably shouldn't plan around me at all---I have immovable obligations on the other side of the bay and was only hoping to drop by for an hour or so. I may have to encourage the fruit of climbing plants to seize the day some other time.
I am so irresistible that on learning that the shining glance of Weiner's attention has fallen on her she must inevitably succumb.
Too much Genji, Wiener.
I know. And well done, too.
'bout to check out the new Royall Tyler translation. Genji, it's not just a book, it's a life-devouring obsession. Not unlike unfogged.
Sorry to be popping in and out unpredictably -- I can probably do 7:30 if it's closer to Union Square. Would that be closer to the Financial District and, therefore, better for Saheli?
Also, I heard that Zeitgeist is where Drinking Liberally is held on Monday nights so that could get a little crowded.
Also, I'll be popping out again in a bit but will check back in later tonight.
Ah, yeah, you're right about Drinking Liberally, though the backyard at Zeitgeist is so big I can't see it being a problem. Union Square would in fact be closer to the Financial District; there's also North Beach and SOMA. I can go pretty much wherever.
From whom did you hear that, Becks?
35: Mock my virtue, if you must, but I have a boyfriend and you don't.
I have a boyfriend and you don't.
I have a southern sense of what's appropriate to say in public. Maybe I have a boyfriend or maybe I don't.
49 - Your mom.
Ah, so, not much progress in the last few hours, then?
Ok - 2 places near the financial district. Please pick one, boys. Bacchus Kirk at 925 Bush Street or Hyde Out at 1068 Hyde St. (Sorry - no links. Commenting from my phone.) If we meet in that part of town, I can do more like 7:30 and it will be closer for Saheli. Saheli - would that work for you?
You can comment from your phone? Freakin' sweet. Where can I get me one a them?
Actually, I probably could do it from my phone, but teh interweb on the phone is teh expensive.
I have a southern sense of what's appropriate to say in public.
Sure you do, Mr. Hugecock.
Only my boyfriend gets to call me that.
Oh wow, you really shouldn't plan on me, b/c I really do have immovable obligations that may make me a giant flake. Between those two Bush Street slooks better, but can I suggest something in North Beach? (I know it's almost as tacky as the Financial District, but as a bridge gal I'm sentimentally attached to them) Vesuvio's or the recently shown to me by a native, Spec's? Both near Columbus and Broadway, I think Vesuvio's is 255 Columbus.
Oh never mind, Becks should be near Union Square. .hmm. . .
I'd be okay with Bacchus Kirk... there's also the Irish Bank, which is a decent place.
Hey, wasn't Jackmormon going to be there too? How come she hasn't weighed in?
Jackmormon isn't going to be able to make it.
A friend suggests the Thirsty Bear at 661 Howard.
Thirsty Bear's a good choice... they have tapas, too, in case people get hungry.
Thirsty Bear is still a bit East for me. Can't guarantee I'll be there by 7:30. I looked for an alternative but I've been Googling for like a fucking hour and can't find anything (1) open on Mondays (2) that serves food and (3) is above Market Street.
Is no place in San Francisco open on Mondays? The hell?
OK, I'm making an executive decision because I have no more time to deal with this. Murphy's Pub on 217 Kearny Street at 7:30 PM Monday night. They have food. I emailed both of you (Josh and Saheli) some additional info, too.
The Irish Bank's not open on Mondays? They meet the other two criteria...
WMYBSALB, Josh?
It was either between the Irish Bank or Murphy's Pub. I just picked one. Irish Bank is also open on Mondays. I really don't care -- they're right around the corner from each other. If you can vouch for Irish Bank, that's fine instead.
Ah, crossover. As I said before, I'm good with wherever.
Hey Becks, thanks, but didn't get any email from you. . .try Saheli AT gmail dot. . .you know the drill. :-)
Hope this works!
OK - I just resent the message to your gmail account. Hope you get it!
I just resent the message
Come on, what'd the message ever do to you?
I just resent the message to your gmail account.
Me too. Fuckin' message.
Fuck, fuck, masturbate, oboe.
Laters.
