| So this golf trophy has been sitting in my dining room for the past year (which means i must have won last year) and since gbarr/ned will be gaining another year into "old age," I think its time we put another golf/poker weekend together. September seemed to work well last year since we had a decent turn out... "cough" gbarr "cough" .... I am thinking the weekend of the 15/16th but to be honest I am free pretty much any weekend in September so we can take imput from the group to see what works best. I am also thinking we do it again here in CT since it is nice and central to most people but I don't mind driving elsewhere if we wanted to switch it up. The pool will still be open and we can grill up some steaks, burgers, dogs, ect..... Since Kristen donated this lovely trophy last year we are now all obligated to do this again... Let me know what ya think?? |
|  | heh | | Gaul's reply on Oct 5th 2009 10:14am EDT |
| that was ryan's plan all along. Despite the feeling old, and tired at 8pm....we had a fun time |
| | good times | | ryan's reply on Oct 5th 2009 10:03am EDT |
| Gbarr, you are co-champion of the first round of poker, so you are well deserving of keeping that polished trophy on display for the next few months.. Thanks again for hosting and as always was an excellent time! |
|  | Trophy Fail | | gbarr's reply on Oct 5th 2009 9:36am EDT |
Ryan, you play a mean game of poker my friend but damn you for leaving the trophy on my media shelf in the living room. It stares at me like the money I could be saving by switching to Geico.
Great weekend everyone. Thanks for making the trip Jon, Pete, Ryan and Ned. The rest of you, well, there wasn't enough room in the apt for more people anyway so I'm not going to press the issue.
Looking forward to the Winter Edition hosted by Jon up at "Ye Hill." More beds, space, and reservations for dinner will be welcome. Talk to y'all soon. |
| | Magic Bean | | gbarr's reply on Sep 30th 2009 10:24pm EDT |
| You're all bed-whores. Ned and Jon you two can plan to spoon...
On the floor! Poker winner gets the guest bed is fair. I've got a camping-style mat and plenty of blankets too. Bring an air mattress if you got one.
Like Ned mentioned I am flying back to Boston Friday evening so please, if you want to come into town Friday plan to be there no earlier than 10p. Looking forward to seeing everyone soon. |
|  | Boston | | GOATOWL's reply on Sep 29th 2009 5:57pm EDT |
| fellas... yes, i have worked with G-Barr this weekend to finalzie Boston as the HQ for operation "wow, we're too old to be doing this"... Gordon will be flying back friday night from NYC since he is here for work. I suggest people plan to arrive earlier saturday so we can make the best of the weekend. I hope to see you all there!!.... P.S. Jon, sorry I had already locked down the bed during my negotiations with the tall Barr... I suggest the poker winner gets the bed, that's probably the most fair. (good thing I know how to cheat) |
| | Saturday | | Gaul's reply on Sep 29th 2009 10:38am EDT |
| Jon, call me tonight so we can chat about car-pooling. I would say Saturday morning for me is ideal. I'll pitch in for gas too :)

| You're actually looking for the parking garage that's on Green Street. I'll be aiming for Fri after G arrives (evening) or Sat early/mid. You're welcome to hitch a ride. |
| | address | | Gaul's reply on Sep 29th 2009 10:04am EDT |
| what is gbarr's address? Jon, we can carpool down together, meet at exit 2 on 89 at the park and ride if you and lief wish. let me know
thanks |
| | poker | | ryan's reply on Sep 29th 2009 10:02am EDT |
| looking forward to some high-stakes poker.... i will bring the trophy for the winner of the poker game since there will be no golf this year.... sorry for the short notice in change-of-plans... |
| | KHAAAAAAAAAAN! | | oMaT's reply on Sep 29th 2009 9:58am EDT |
| | Heh | | oMaT's reply on Sep 29th 2009 9:39am EDT |
| Poker/drinking is fine with me - dibs on the guest bed. (Has anyone told GBarr?) |
| | ok | | Gaul's reply on Sep 29th 2009 9:31am EDT |
| either way is fine, but I suggest we make up minds quickly. I presume in boston we'd not have any facility to go golfing...so poker/drinking then?
please advise to any and all changes, ASAP thanks |
| | Gbarr's | | ryan's reply on Sep 29th 2009 9:27am EDT |
| Rumor has it that we are doing it up at Gbarr's place in Boston now... Should be a shorter commute for Pete and maybe Jon too... Gbarr, confirm if this is still the case?? |
| | Plans within plans... | | oMaT's reply on Sep 29th 2009 9:19am EDT |
| I'm not sure of my own agenda. It's looking like I'll be on vacation from Oct 1 through Oct 11 so arriving early is an option. Its possible I'm going to carpool with Leif but that hasn't been finalized yet. Also, I don't play golf so I wont be participating in that little madventure. I'll be bringing scotch, soco and smokes and contributing my considerable charm. Ok fine, I meant to say my raging hostility. Whatever. :) |
| | plan.... | | Gaul's reply on Sep 29th 2009 9:06am EDT |
| So, what is the agenda? When are people to be expected to arrive? do we have a Tee-time? Who is running this show? Ideally, I plan on driving down Saturday morning. spending Saturday night at Ryan's (please post your address again). Ryan or Ned call me to confirm today 603-831-2125. thanks |
| | New Dizzle | | gbarr's reply on Sep 22nd 2009 9:36pm EDT |
| Yeah fine, I'll be coming up from NYC that Friday since I'm here for 2 weeks on biznass so I'm not sure how that's gonna work out. But it will, so fear not. See y'all there |
| | Asshats. Flaming Asshats. | | oMaT's reply on Sep 19th 2009 11:45pm EDT |
| Seriously you people are flaming asshats. Honestly Can we not come up with a single fucking point of consensus? Is it that difficult? What cataclysmic twist of fucking space-time caused this thing to get moved? <sigh> Yeah, I'm OK with the new weekend. But seriously.. Move it again and I hunt down the culprit and bitch-slap them with a two by four taped to my dick. Point taken? |
| | confirm that the 3rd will work? | | Gaul's reply on Sep 19th 2009 12:28pm EDT |
| Jon, are you coming to ryan's on the 3rd? |
| | i am in | | Gaul's reply on Sep 17th 2009 1:43pm EDT |
| oct 3rd weekend looks good |
| | *** WARNING *** WARNING *** | | GOATOWL's reply on Sep 17th 2009 1:39pm EDT |
| There has been a change in scheduling. We had locked in Oct-10 for the rebel-rousing-reunion but due to some recent conflicts we've been forced to bump up the shenanigans to the prior weekend Oct-3. Please post if you can make it and don't make up bad excuses. Try and be somewhat creative. Otherwise, looking forward to seeing you all there and enjoying some Tomfoolery!! -CHEERS, The Admiral |
| | 10th of Oct. | | Gaul's reply on Sep 14th 2009 8:54am EDT |
| I just found out that Kristen will be out of town, and my babysitting option will be with her..I will not be able to make the golf outing this year. Best of luck fellas.

| | Sat. Oct. 10th | | ryan's reply on Aug 30th 2009 8:19pm EDT |
| Saturday the 10th of October it is.... People are more than welcome to come down on Friday the 9th if they would like... Looking forward to it... |
| | oct 10 | | GOATOWL's reply on Aug 30th 2009 7:56pm EDT |
| ... my call is for October 10th since it sounds like more ppl can make it including some long lost DSN'rs... let's put it to a vote... |
| | Game On! | | gbarr's reply on Aug 30th 2009 7:53pm EDT |
Pick a weekend and I'll be there to put "Tiger" in his place... 2nd place.
Ryan, looks like you'll have to make an executive decision on the dates. Looking forward to it! |
|  | Bummer... | | beaverman's reply on Aug 29th 2009 10:09am EDT |
| I HATE that I have missed so many events... I would love to catch up with everyone... However, with baby due in 2 weeks, the last thing I will probably be thinking about in late Sept/early Oct is a Team Stupid adventure... One of these days I will catch up with everyone again... :( |
|  | | | nowhere's reply on Aug 28th 2009 12:09pm EDT |
| Just to throw in my two cents (as I only realized there was a thread going on), if something is happening 'round the 10th-11th, I'll do my best to make it ('specially since I never see Mr. Dave). However, in October I'll be working with the good Doctor, so I'll be busy on weekends as well -- but I'm sure I can escape for an eve. |
| | No AU for you! | | oMaT's reply on Aug 28th 2009 10:35am EDT |
Yeah, my AU jaunt was canceled but with the advent of including a Bernat in our festivities I'm def piqued by the 10th/11th idea. Being a holiday should only make it more Hangover-esque fun. :) One vote for October 10/11. |
| | Dates | | ryan's reply on Aug 28th 2009 10:30am EDT |
| Jon it sounds like your trip is cancelled? Im thinking we either lock down Saturday the 3rd of October or Saturday the 10th... the 10/11th is a holiday weekend for some (Columbus Day) so I don't know if that is a positive or negative. |
|  | PokerStar | | Bernat's reply on Aug 24th 2009 1:19pm EDT |
| I might be in town that weekend as well...(oct 10th + 11th)
Love to catch up with everyone! |
| | October 10/11 | | ryan's reply on Aug 24th 2009 1:02pm EDT |
| Im down for the 10/11th as well... sounds like that is a better fit for Jon and TK as well (so he won't be limping as much)... plus that gives everybody plenty of time to block that weekend off on the calender... |
| | Craphole. | | oMaT's reply on Aug 24th 2009 12:36pm EDT |
| Best odds at this point are that I'll be in Melbourne from Sept 12 through Oct 3. My best weekend would be Oct 10-11 but I'm pretty sure I'm alone on that one. Oh well. |
| | The Champ Says... | | GOATOWL's reply on Aug 24th 2009 12:29pm EDT |
| Fellas, yes it's that time again... the trophy is up for grabs and as Ryan and Pete well know from last years rainy finale... I still rein as the #1 DSN golfer (Tiger Ned the call me now)... so if you feel you have the nerve to challenge my greatness then all you need to do is show up... right now the best weekends are looking like either Sept 26-27 or Oct 3-4. I feel this year will have to be the best of 2 rounds (or possible two or three 9-hole rounds at sleeping giant next to Ryan's) weather permitting of course... topped off with a poker game to round out the night... even if you're not a golfer we'd still like to have you as this is a “Team Stupid Social Mixer”…. Hope to see you there!! |
| | poker/golf | | Gaul's reply on Aug 23rd 2009 10:41pm EDT |
| I'm down with some golf and poker action. I should be able to make a weekend in sept. lets confirm soon, so we can lock it down |
| | dates | | ryan's reply on Aug 23rd 2009 9:22pm EDT |
| I am game/free for pretty much any weekend.... I think ned also suggested the last weekend in September as well.... |
|  | | | tk's reply on Aug 23rd 2009 8:30pm EDT |
| | | | tk's reply on Aug 23rd 2009 8:29pm EDT |
| One of my good friends from college is getting married the weekend of the 12th. Ned will be at the wedding as well. Could we prospone to the last weekend in September or even early October. Pretty much the later the better for me since I will be recovering from the injury. |
| | Correction | | ryan's reply on Aug 22nd 2009 2:09pm EDT |
| Was looking at the August calender by mistake... meant to say the 12/13th of September as a recommended date... |
| | | | |  | | gbarr posted on Jan 2nd 2009 12:01am EST |
| So the Barr family spent Christmas 2008 in the Dominican Republic at a resort in Punta Cana. It didn't take Alan "The Mayor" long to make friends with everyone and we found ourselves having a good time with a number of our fellow vacationers. Of course, this was a big resort so we ran into a couple of jackasses as well. One such run in was captured in all its glory...

| Here's a wee tidbit to lighten up your weekend just a smidge.
(1) Go to any website you like.
(2) Delete everything in the address bar.
(3) Paste the following code into the address bar:
javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5; DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0);
(4) Press Enter and have fun. :)
This has been around a while but it's pretty damn cool nonetheless. Enjoy! |

| Aside from the delicious cheeses and wines that compliment them, my respect for the French hit rock-bottom this week as youths continued to riot on an unprecedented scale. Don’t get me wrong, I thought “freedom fries” and “freedom toast” were stupid and misplaced – turns out the frogs were right about Iraq after all – and my choice to jump onto the anti-French bandwagon was one that I made reluctantly. However, after following the whole sequence of events that triggered the recent uprisings in Paris and beyond I am completely appalled.

| | YAY! | | oMaT's reply on Nov 10th 2005 7:56am EST |
| I whole-heartedly agree with you, G, and I've been dying to post something similar on here for a few days but I'm starting to feel like I post too much so I held off. :) Anyway, I'm glad I'm not the only one staring in horror at the unchecked stupidity these Frenchies are displaying. Hell, I've never understood rioting - why destroy your own shit when you're angry? Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. |

| | cynic | | elliot's reply on Nov 1st 2005 9:27pm EST |
| Don't get me wrong, I'm often cynical. However, I wouldn't base the downfall of society's innocence and enjoyment of Halloween on the fact that the one kid who came to your door had a crappy costume. Down here in JAX I almost got into several car accidents because there were little troops of well-costumed kids being marched around by their parents. Parents who did in fact seem to be stopping to chat with other leaders of kid troops. The kids looked like they were having the time of their lives and I don't think they came off looking like beggars. Their costumes were good enough to distract me on my daily drive home from court. For a more humorous look at Halloween, I suggest you check out the episode of Curb Your Enthusiam were Larry David deals with the subject in a manner reminiscent of your post. |
