coffee morning, lunch with barely any coffee

Sorry for the belated post, but we did have our coffee morning, lunch with barely any coffee get together on Friday.  Excuse me while I trademark the name.  I don't want you assholes stealing it.

There was plenty of great conversation, and hopefully this will only be the first meetup of many more to come.

The stealthy Cam Beck of Chaos Scenario took the picture, and as such, is not pictured.  We'll get him next time!

At the front, there's Mack Simpson of Adverb, recent father to weemonkey, then to the left, the unfortunately haircutted Paul McEnany (that's me!), then my friend Landon, who is currently blogless (everyone point and laugh), then Paul Herring, of Click Here and Chaos Scenario fame, and finally Scott Baradell, purveyor of the Media Orchard, Idea Grove, and most recently Spin Thicket.

Aren't we a pensive-looking bunch?

Don't be surprised if you see some cool stuff coming from this group...

BWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!

[Gavin Heaton]

So let's see a mexican wave!

[Tim Jackson]

I wasn't going to say anything about the hair, but now that you mention it...

Is it jus me, or does Baradell look like he's trying to steal your soul with that stare?

Keep us posted.

[Moda di Magno]

I have to agree with Tim Jackson (unless Paul has proof otherwise) that Mr. Baradell looks like he is giving you the gimlet eye. That's a lot of blog power at one table!

[Paul McEnany]

Ok, that's the third time I've had a nice chuckle about the mexican wave. I'm not sure what it means, but I like it.

I'm fairly certain Scott was not trying to steal my soul. At least I don't think so. I haven't really checked for my soul in awhile. :)

[Tim Jackson]

Look under your bed- I sometimes find my soul hiding there.

I don't know what a gimlet eye is, but it sounds bad and that can't be good. You have to keep an eye on Baradell... he's crafty. (I'm watching you Baradell!)

Blog power- is that 220 or 221V?

[Paul McEnany]

I believe 221V. And, you were right. It was under my bed. Damnit!

[Gavin Heaton]

Emily has been keen on continuing the mexican wave

Actually, it is way more embarrassing in real life than on the web. You should see the way other cafe goers look at you. I think they use "Baradell Eyes".

[Tim Jackson]

See Paul- I'm always right. Even if I'm wrong, I'm still somehow right. It's almost creepy... almost.

"Baradell eyes"... I like that.

[CK]

Why didn't you guys go to the diner we went to for coffee & breakfie at 4am when I was there?

I see no Supremes-looking chics at this one. Hmmm.

Btw, I "might" be back down in Dallas before the year's up. Can you rest up so you can hang this time?

[Tim Jackson]

Oh shit! Dude, CK just slapped you all the way past silly and straight into oh-shit! Dang! How'd a tiny thing like that get so tough?

[Moda di Magno]

My favorite definition of "gimlet eye" is here. Basically - it's the hard stare. Read down in this wiki for the descrip.

BTW - blog power is 222v

[Mack Simpson - Adverb]

Where the hell was Cam hiding the camera? In a fake ballpoint pen? Hollow wooden leg? Cripes. He should become a P.I.

[Tim Jackson]

Dang! I should've known it was 222v... I'm such a moron.

[Paul McEnany]

CK- Fuck Yeah! Git yer ass back to Texas. We can pull back out the boots and spurs and rope some cattle! Maybe some skeet-shooting! Ughh. I hate tx cliches.

And, Mack, that's exactly what I said. I didn't notice he was taking the picture either. I'm glad he took it, though. I totally forgot about it.

Lori, you know all, damnit. Even about blog voltage and gimlet eyes.

And, Tim, Don't feel bad I didn't know either.

Gavin, that video is awesome. I'll try and get one done at the next one. :)

[Cam Beck]

I was attempting to record the animals in their natural environment. Had I told everyone I was taking a picture, it would have spoiled the whole thing. :)

[Mack Collier]

Why is it that the four of you look like you're hatching a plan to throw Seth Godin out of his ivory tower, and Mack looks like he's contemplating whether missing the Mavs game was worth this?

[Paul McEnany]

That's cool, Cam. I'm just glad you remembered to take a picture!

Mack, I'm not sure you're too far off. And I hear we're supposed to be referring to you as evil Mack from now on. :)

[Tim Jackson]

Why on earth would we call him Evil Mack? Because he hasn't been blogging in the Garden lately?

[Mack Collier]

Evil Mack? What exactly were you guys talking about?

[Paul McEnany]

Yeah, whaddup with that?

And, I can't remember the whole story, but I think Mack S. said it started over on mprofs, just as a joke cause there are two Macks.

Pretty funny either way.

[Mack Simpson - Adverb]

No, I'm "evil Mack," as annointed on Mack C.'s blog. It was a very special moment.

(And, for the record, basketball sucks.)

[scott]

What a motley crue. And yes, I was trying to steal HeeHaw's soul but after staring for about half an hour gave up on finding one, and eventually fell asleep at the table...

[Mack Collier]

"No, I'm "evil Mack," as annointed on Mack C.'s blog. It was a very special moment."

I'll let JD know how touched you are ;)

[Paul McEnany]

Damnit, well I suck. You guys can call me "Evil Paul" for getting the story backwards.

And, Scott, you've found me out. Damnit, I really didn't want anyone to know that I had no soul. :)
