Well, not all of the quitters are doin' so hot: some of us have deep, physical pain that only several pins and perhaps a plate (or a[n appropriately prescribed] vicodin) could fix. So what better way to cheer them up than to get their asses crunk?

("crazy drunk", it's a thing the kids are saying)

Meet up with the Quitters SC on their usual night of drunken pain alleviation, Thursday 10/16, as we work on not only our substance dependency but in proving that it ain't only VCLG that can limp.

We meet at the Connecticut Yankee on 17th & Connecticut in the historic... uh, Potrero... "district", at 7:30pm until we basically have to give in and go back to our significant others who expect us to be home promptly by 11pm on school nights.

Extra bonuses: meet foreign MV forumites, and perhaps witness a beat-down.

I hope I can make it. Might be very late due to meeting elsewhere in the city. Maybe I could bring some Kristalose for those on Vicodin and can't poop. Or maybe we can sneak it into some unwary scooterist's drink and see if he can get home fast enough before he/she explodes...
It would be interesting meeting someone from a different country and get them to say the word "About" or count how many times they say "Eh."

Am I one of those mentioned foreign MV forumites?

I hope to be there with partner in tow.

Thanks to QuipMC for the offer of a ride up.

I look forward to meeting you nice folks.

Now that my creme brulee is cooling down, I can respond. If I go I will be late. Good thing no ones fights for the corner. Er, maybe Vinicio, but I think I can out run him.

To stay on topic here, yes I will see all of you on Thursday at around 8:30.

Just to let you folks know that this is my 300th post and wanted it to be with the Quitters. I will try to get there and will bring my video camera along to document the gump fight. I will be there late.

Vinicio texted me and said he can't make it tonight. Deep down I think he knew I would win. Razz emoticon

I'm still questionable for attendance, but can I declare victory by default?

Do you need a ride? I'm bringing the Rav4 and picking up the "Benito-Party" already. The more the merrier!

Thanks, that's sweet of ya! I can actually drive as well as I can walk. But my leg is the limiting factor. Unless it's elevated, it balloons up and all Vicodin+beer does is make me lust for lame reality shows, mud wrestling, and mechanical bull riding.

I think he has the better drug and can't function or is sitting on the toilet constipated (just joking Vinicio!)

Cheers to all for another great evening! We got Benny and Fabian back over to Fisherman's Wharf so they could get some shut eye after something like 22 hours of "awake" time. Ride safe, everyone!

I think I'm going to need some Vicodin after that beat down. Is there a MD in the house?

(a DO might also be acceptable. maybe.)

Sounds like another full house. To simulate being there, I opened a can of chowder, downed it with some beer cocktails, but it wasn't the same. Ended up watched American Chopper and LA Ink. Kat Von D...sigh, that helped.

Hi guys, it was a pleasure meeting all of you. We obviously didn't have that much time to chat to get to know everyone, but it was great being able to put a face to a screen name. You are a fun bunch, we were a little quieter than usual given our jet lag and lack of sleep. If any of you are up in Toronto, please drop me a line.

Mary, I just wanted to say thanks again for the ride up and back, it was really generous of you and Ferris.
