Frist!

I’ll be there with Ace!

If I weren’t a couple thousand miles away, I’d attend. I drink sadly like nobody’s bidnezz!

I might need a ride. Anyone with a jet attending from Hawaii? I could pay for parking..

Pass-phrase: “The Ruppert soars at dawn.”

How long before someone shambles in saying, “I know it’s something about Ruppert’s fly…”

Personally, I think the pass-phrase should be: “Shalom, Gentlemen”. Maybe for the shindig on the Right Coast…

Though both events are too far away for me to attend, I think the password for east coast sadlys should be either “I like pie” or “I miss Bruce”

Maybe everyone could bring a bag of something….

Hmmm… maybe I’ll bring pie to the Cambridge Sadlython. Would hate for the pie-eaters to feel left out.

I’ll make sure to exhale forcefully in your direction. It’s harvest time.

Wait, there’s a Boston SadlyCon?

Will Sexbots be provided, or will I have to bring my own Roomba?

It’s not a Con, Con’s are for emuvosis. It’s a thon.

Here in Baghdad-on-the-Hudson, I’ll crack open a nice bottle of Montepulciano and raise a toast to you all at 9:00.

WordPress is getting on my last nerve.

Any thoughts of a midwest SadlyCon?

So who in the Sadly faction is going to get all up in Capt. Trollypants grill with a freestyle battle rap? I think enough time has been bidden.

atheist, there have been some comments regarding Mpls and Chicago, but splitting the difference in Madison got shot down. What part of the midwest are you in?

Does one have to be a drinky drinker to join in? I used to drink oceans of drinky drinks, but quit for good the week that Reagan got elected to his second term (which made the whole Reagan thing seem a lot worse). I get to be the drivey driver now.

The fact is, why can’t I live in San Francisco too?

“Any thoughts of a midwest SadlyCon?”

Although the Queen City of the Plains is on the outer edges of the “midwest”, if anyone is coming out for the DNC, I might be willing to arrange a little sumptin’

What part of the midwest are you in?

I’m in Chicago. You?

Edinburgh Castle

I can see the real thing out of my front window, and it’s not as exciting as you’d think – on the other hand, the beer will probably be cheaper.

Dan Someone wanted to go to a SCon too and he’s in Chicago. I’m in St. Paul, MN

I’m going to guess that, unlike MileHi’s situation, no one will be coming here to attend the RNC. I’ll probably be able to catch a wiff of the teargas clouds at my place. My office is across the street from the county jail so I’m just going to take that week off and try to make our guests feel not-so-welcome.

Man, and to think I was going to go to SF this week.

Anyone want a ride from Berkeley area?

I’ll be bringing my medications. offering trades or sales is totally illegal, so there’s no way I’m doing that. Wouldn’t want the po-po coming down on me (unless they’re hott)

atheist, there have been some comments regarding Mpls and Chicago, but splitting the difference in Madison got shot down. What part of the midwest are you in?

I’m in Des Moines (Iowa) and would love to attend a Midwest Sadlython! Anywhere within a six hour drive would probably work for me.

MileHi, if we have one you should come. It would be a trip down memory lane! (Yeah, I know that ain’t always a good thang.)

Spicy limon crunchy cheetos, anyone?

Hey! Twist my arm why don’t you! No, seriously. Except, not my arm. Some Tikrit cab-driver’s arm. Or didn’t you get the memo?

Hey! Twist my arm why don’t you! No, seriously. Except, not my arm. Some Tikrit cab-driver’s arm. Or didn’t you get the memo?

YOU’RE FIRED!

Oh! Oh! Oh!
I won’t be there, cause I live in Virginia, but y’all should TOTALLY make it a requirement that one has to be wearing a flag pin to get in.

Hey, I’m in Virginia, too! If we had one round hyar, I might even shower for it!

Anyone with one of Dan Savage’s ITMFA flag lapel pins should get a free drink.

Oh great. I’ll be stuck up here in the men’s room of the Butte Mobil station, playing battle-shits by my lonesome.

Wherever you hold these commie get-togethers, light a candle made of jerky in memory of your old pal Rugged, ‘kay?

The fact is, alcoholism among liberals is typical. In the heartland, those whith better moral and family values abstain or use in moderation. Most drunks I have known were liberal far left types. You all fit the bill.

Shouldn’t someone alert the World Wildlife Fund about Rugged’s lamentable habit of eating pelican?

Personally, I think the pass-phrase should be: “Shalom, Gentlemen”. Maybe for the shindig on the Right Coast…

Excellent choice — we all get to reply “Sadly, Neither!”

So, who’s bringing the liveblogging equipment to the Castle tonight?

Shouldn’t someone alert the World Wildlife Fund about Rugged’s lamentable habit of eating pelican?

The only time I EVER eat pelican is as fresh roadkill or when I stumble on the results of the many badger-pelican confrontations we have out here in the woods. Both of them use the same kind of burrow and neither of them is very bright, leading to confusion over who lives where. You’d think that the badgers would be the consistent hands-down winners of these confrontations but pelicans are really quite wily fighters and lightning quick in their beak jabbing. Many a dim-witted badger has tried to enter what it assumes to be it’s underground den, only to be seized by a protective mother pelican in a manner quite reminiscent of a moray eel! The ferocity of pelicans is widely respected here and we know well enough to steer clear of their subterranean lairs (you sure wouldn’t want to be walking along and suddenly find your ankle in a pelican burrow, like “Pegleg” Wilson, a local Butte legend, once did).

Perhaps I would, Candy. If for no other reason, so I could encase WordPress in concrete and throw it into the Raccoon River. I’m sure the carp and catfish would love to feast on it.

Did you feel the earthquake this morning?

This is the event where What has been hidden from the wise and the prudent shall be revealed to the babe and the suckling

Have fun y’all.

Aw man. I used to live 3 blocks from there. Now I’m stuck in New York. I hate you guys.

I second the notion of an event in Denver this summer. I live north and east of the city, and could even help to arrange it.

It’ll be the same old liberal decadence when the Sadly, No! vulgar jokers get together in a slum of depravity and drink beer Friday night. This pathetic excuse for a good time digusts average Americans, by the Sadly, No! cronies still get rave reviews from the chuckling critics who think liberal excesses are the way, honest true average America be darned. You’d think that gross-out kings like the Sadly, No! crew would be ashamed of their freakishness, but you’d be wrong.

Isn’t it amazing that far-left activists like Sadly, No! still question executive authority, even though they drink beer?

ROGER SIMON SAYS that the Sadly, No! party will suck. Indeed.

I thought average americans liked booze.

Just like they fucking hate WordPress

Listen up, liberal drama queens: This Sadly, No! party is for sissies and wimps, and if you go to it, Hollywood, I’m gonna knock those shades right off your face.

One has to ask- Will this Sadly, No! party be a get-together for radical Marxists? Or America-hating leftists? Or Black Liberation activists? What exact plan to destroy America will they be discussing?

The fact is, here in the Heartland, we sometimes fuck our sisters. Well, I do anyway.

Sadly, No! are having a partying in San Francisco tonight. One really wondering what they’re does there, right Jonah?

For all the crying about how great the Sadly, No! party is going to be, no one’s taken into account simple economics:

If I pay Farmer Bob $1 for an apple, and then sell it to my neighbor for $2, and then sell all his assets to the Chinese and discuss the relative benefits of slavery to my class and then make sure that ethnic profiling is in tact all while decreasing wages as much as possible, the economy works!

You fuck your sister in the Heartland? No wonder you’re so ill-tempered! Try her pussy or her asshole; I’m sure you’ll both be happier.

HH: We only have about 45 more seconds, Senator Lieberman.
JL: Uh, gwosh, uh, well I just wwhhanted to say that Iran has the bawmbs because Bill Kristol twold me so, and the Sadly, No! pwarty will suck!
HH: You heard it here, Iran has already bombed other countries and the Sadly, No! party doesn’t even exist. Also, I’m a real journalist.

*sigh* This sucks hardcore that when a SN meetup finally happens, it falls on a date I can’t go, even though I’m currently not employed and have almost all the free time a man could want.

There must be another! And I want eight-by-ten color glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a full report, damnit!

Eeeewwww.

Gary. Shut up. I wouldn’t let you touch me for less than fifty dollars, and you know it!

Helps to check your name *before* you post….

The elitist eliters who elite up Sadly, No! are having a party tonight in Bumblefuck, Nebraska, which is a weak attempt at connecting with the common man, which I am able to do easly.

Ed. note: The Sadly, No! party will not be taking place in Bumblefuck, Nebraska. It will be taking place in Chicago.

Ed. note to Ed. note: The Sadly, No! party will not be taking place in Chicago. It will be taking place in San Francisco.

This Sadly, No! party will be a microcosm of what’s wrong with men in America. You’ll see a bunch of weak-kneed men who…what’s that, Glennie? You want me to come check out your Star Wars figurines? One sec, everyone.

Waaaaaaaaaaah, why weren’t we invitied. You guys are so mean to us. It is blatent CDS!!11111one!

Who wants to hear jokes about minorities?

No? WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE CENSORING ME!!!!!!!!??????

this thread to a serious hard left turn into Comedyville. Nice work peeps!

If I was going to get livid and horrified about something besides the Sadly No party it would be that a great university sucks so many young women into the into the intellectual graveyard of Women’s Studies. Think what these women could be studying instead of this endlessly recycled drivel.

Also, I’m a Feminist and you are totally sexist!

We’re so insulted that we weren’t invited that we’re all going to vote for McCain. That will teach you!

P.S. Hillz rawks!!!11ity!!

Rugged’s lamentable habit of eating pelican?
Pelicans became legitimate targets in 1987 when they began their campaign of suicide attacks against B-1 bombers.

Can I bring along a covered dish? I just got these great recipes from Cindy McCain…

I can’t, but Scott pelican.

Did you feel the earthquake this morning?

I didn’t. In fact, just found out we had it when KCCI 5 o’clock news came on. I was sound asleep when it happened. I did dream I was in Seattle. Maybe that’s why! 🙂

Gary Ruppert is Clliff may

“:There They Go Again [Cliff May]

Not for the first time, major media organizations are misrepresenting al-Qaeda in Iraq, calling it a “homegrown” insurgent group and quoting someone who does not exist as its “Iraqi leader.”

The fact is al-Qaeda in Iraq was established by foreign terrorists closely tied to al-Qaeda leaders believed to be living in the Frontier Provinces of Pakistan. The first leader of AQ in Iraq was Abu Musab al Zarqawi, a Jordanian by birth. His successor, Abu Ayyub al-Masri, is in an Egyptian.”

only to be seized by a protective mother pelican in a manner quite reminiscent of a moray eel!
A true conservative will show respect for social morays, however irrational they seem.

His successor, Abu Ayyub al-Masri, is in an Egyptian.

Big deal. Unles he’s in the Egyptian’s heartland which is really sick.

Moscow Rules! I insist on Moscow Rules!

I was in a Turk a couple of times.

I remember because she smelled so good…

mikey

fucking pelicans.

Badgers? We don’t need no stinkin’ bagders.

That the obvious parallels between the Nazis, who like to gather in beer halls and drink beer, and the liberals who not only do that but also wear many clothes of the same color as some of the early socialists who became the Nazis only serves to strengthen my point. Which is not to compare liberals to fascists but no one before me has seen this parallel.

What’s the password again?

We should have a Rochester, NY SadlyCon. I’ll be the only one there.

Did someone say there’ll be badgers?!

Did someone say there’ll be badgers?!

Oh, now COME ON!!! Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, ok? Not that I wouldn’t like to help out and send a crate full of grumpy badgers to your LIE-brul commie-fest but….that would involve considerable trapping activity on my part, right quick. I’ll see what I can do, but no promises, got that?

(At least they didn’t ask for pelicans….those are NASTY creatures to deal with, particularly during their mating season which is right about…..NOW!).

I object, your honour! Counsel is witnessing the badger!

In a Turk, Attaturk, eh, what’s the difference.

I’m going to ship a fucking crate of rabid pelicans to wordpress if this bullshit keeps up.

Well, it’s off to the bus stop for me. The #38 shall be my trusty steed.

Sorry SNers, but I won’t be making it tonight (family business – yeah, I have that…) But I’ll move the earth to make it to the next one at Starry Plough, which is on my side of the water anyway.

Somebody hoist a fine single malt for me, and say hi to Gary.

The fact is…

I toast thee from Eastern Canada.

One pelican comin’ at ya.

Wait, there’s a Boston SadlyCon? Will Sexbots be provided, or will I have to bring my own Roomba?

Yes, on April 27th. No. Yes.

It’s a sausage fest down here at the castle. Women readers – I command you to join us!

That’s it for the live blogging??

By the way, the Mississippi River in MN is swarming with Pelicans right now. I’ve seen hundreds of them this week.

Yes that’s it for the live blogging. My typing skills are greatly diminished after two whiskey sours and several beers.

By the way, the Mississippi River in MN is swarming with Pelicans right now. I’ve seen hundreds of them this week.

For G*ds sake, stay inside after dark!! Those creatures live off of the blood they suck from their nocturnal victims (thus, the oversized blood pouch hanging beneath their beak). They are as close to an actual vampire you’re ever gonna run into, so stay clear and keep in well lighted places if you have to go out after sunset.

Just got back. It was a lot of fun!

Sadly, I did not find a wife. :(. Gary, are you still up?

In Soviet Russia, kind life-rendering pelican repasts blood of you!

Shalom, gentlemen.

Sadly, I did not find a wife. :(. Gary, are you still up?

He gets up when I say he can.

Still got some of that AnalEase. No more poppers, though.

They won’t let you in without a kilt on and you pussies won’t be able to stand the bagpipe music.

Keep your skian dhu handy. Thieves and robbers about.

So how was it?

oh, man… too late for the fun. i hope you do more of this. i live on the north coast, but am in the city regularly. i’m a relatively new reader/lurker, and i love s/n.

Hmmm. Not much of an after action report. Sounds like a couple folks showed up, had a drink and bailed. Not what I would have expected. But then again, ultimately, it’s a bunch of people who’ve never actually met each other, so perhaps it’s a little tough to get a party started. The primary shared experiences here are Bush Derangement Syndrome and poop jokes.

Hopefully there’ll be another one, and I’ll be able to attend.

On the other hand, the birthday party I went to was a lot of fun…

mikey

Naw, there were a fair number of people going, but it definitely didn’t hit party levels. No one even asked about my meds :(.

Good times, though, nad if we have more, they’ll be more fun :).

Oh, and wordpress got 86ed, which was awesome (oir whatever number it is)

WordPress still hates me and is refusing comments on the next thread.

Damned pelicans trying to destroy the Australian Air Force!

Well, I was just in San Fran last month and will be there again in September and December, but that’s a tough one to get to from Germany. It’s been 5 years now I’ve been an expat here, and amazing to think how much more knowledgeable about the USA and its machinations and it’s websites like this that get me there. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Could we schedule one for around the 14th of September?? hahha

Richardofmystery,

Women readersof S, N!? Huh?

My hangover tells me I had a good time.

i was there. on accident. i would attend again, on purpose.

cate

I had a super fun time – thanks for organizing DA.

Hey, as a BARBARian representative (Bay Area Resident Bloggers And Readers), I just wanted to say it was great getting to meet some of you Sadly, Nots, and I’d like to extend an open invitation to you to any and all future BARBARian gatherings. Kudos to D. Aristophanes for putting it together. Hope that hangover has healed itself enough for you to enjoy Happy Hour this evening.

Oh, and I forgot to add: The Ruppert was covered in sores at dawn.
