So when does the chit-chat start? Right now!

Don't you people have anything better to do than eat my bar peanuts and swill my best booze? I'm tallying bar tabs at the end of the week.....I hope ya'll have some steady paychecks.....

One weak and I hav finished my koledge ejumacation.....

Hey Mr. Penney....what's up? Where you been? I think Desert was supposed to keep track of everyone's tabs...in fact I'm pretty sure she collected cash from everyone. I know I gave her cash. She said she was going to make sure to give you the money. You didn't get it??

Has Vinny shown up yet?

I sure hope he's OK, even though I have never met him, he sounds like a nice guy!

Vinny hasn't shown up yet. I think he pulled a Hunter S. Thompson and went on a crazy bender with his lawyer is Vegas. I know he was trying to get a hold of some ether about a week or so ago.

The last time he went on a bender, he was rambling about lizards and bowling shoes. He wasn't making a lot of sense.....but that was probably the acid, mescalin, peote, ether and amyls talking. His lawyer is a big Samoan feller...mumbles alot. Hard to understand. I'm not sure if he is really a lawyer.....

That triangular shaped craft was hovering over my house late last night though......still not sure what's up with that. Maybe he's partying with some aliens? The outer space kind, not the border jumpers....

MrP! Glad you could drop in! A round for all...no, as many rounds as you all want... of MrP's Stolichnaya Elit!! And pour on the bar peanuts! Wait, double all that...we gotta selibrate his coledge decree MrP, you're awesome!

E_B, I don't recall...no, I don't recollect...don't remember...discussing with anyone anything about my collecting money to pay off tabs. Why, I'll state it over and over again if I have to! Let me take the fifth...Jim Beam, please...and escort MrP to see the new LN sauna. Yes, built to enjoy the health benefits au natural.

Poor Vinny! It'll be hard to find him and his lawyer in Vegas, if that's where he's at. Keep us posted.

That reminds me. I didn't want to frighten anyone here, but the other night when we were all here, I went outside to see what was upsetting my camel, and I saw a huge black triangle hovering low over LN. I yelled up at it to leave us alone, and heard a voice yell back, "Don't worry. No one here is abductable. Just place a mixed case of MrP's best booze and a bag of bar peanuts in the beam, and we'll be on our way."

Well....Vinny has finally surfaced. I stopped by his place on my way home from hell, I mean work. He was in his bath tub. Weird guy my friend Vinny. The tub was full of green water and fruit? And, there was a radio in the bathroom cranked to full volume playing an old Jeffereson Airplane cassette.

I turned down the volume. He started screaming and demanding I play "White Rabbit." Then...he said he wanted me to throw the radio in the tub with him. I told him he was out of his mind...it would kill him. He said "It will be the ultimate orgasm." I didn't bother asking what was going on under that green water. I actually threw up a little in my mouth. I think he was still tripping on peote or something....

So, I told him I'd throw the radio in the tub. At the same time I noticed a large grapefruit on the sink. I asked him if he was ready. He mumbled yes. I counted to three and tossed the grapefruit in the tub. He screamed and I ran out of there, got in my car and headed home.

That man is out of his mind. His attorney was nowhere to be seen.

Well, hello there friends! Blows kisses* I see you guys held L.N. in place while I was away. I ran into a guy yesterday that created a new drink. He calls it KY. Let's all try a round and see how it fares. He said he named it KY because it's smooth and silky like him...I would have thought with a name like KY that maybe he was a slippery guy? Oh well, let's have that drink!

Now Mr. P, I'll pay everyone's bar tab. Yes, even Chuck's. All that money I found on the Hwy is of no use to me if I can't share it with my friends BTW, I don't want to alarm anyone, but there's one of those Military weather balloons hovering above Lounge Noir...I suppose it will crash and take out Mr. P's neon sign? Maybe we should go out and light a fire underneath it, or would that be considered an act of aggression?

I better run! My neighbor just phoned and said my chickens got out again *shock* and they're digging in his vegetable garden. I'll be back....I'm bringing a big pot of chicken-n-dumplings with me when I come

Good! Quick, get the cheapest camera that you can find, take only one picture. Becareful not to frame the picture to included any of the nearby surroundings for reference. Then download it to your computer. Open it up with MS Paint. Save it as a .jpg. Then close the image file. Open it again, and resave it. This will insure that it is highly pixelated, and will be cause for much discussion in the "Aliens & UFO's" forum. And voila! I have just trained you to become one of the pop icons in ufology!

So...my friend Vinny.....he exploded last night in my living room. I mean literally. We were watching TV and KaBlam he exploded all over the place. Ruined my TV, furniture, curtains, walls, etc. I mean it's going to cost a few bucks to replace all this stuff, never mind the fact that HE BLEW UP!

How does someone just explode like that? Was it an exactly right mix of chemicals or something? This is messed up....literally.

The police brought me in for questioning, of course....and in their infinite wisdom were questioning me like they thought I might have killed him by forcing him to swallow hand grenades or something. That's how I would wack somebody, of course, by having them explode body matter all over my house!!

Vinny's in a better place now, free of his demons. I'm not sure when or where the viewing of the pieces is going to be held. I will certainly let everyone in LN know as I'm sure you will all want to pay your respects to what remains.

Whaaa....if you don't mind we (Vinny's family and I) would like you to give the eulogy. You seem to have summed him up very well when you said:

Has Vinny shown up yet?

I sure hope he's OK, even though I have never met him, he sounds like a nice guy!

Many times, in life, Vinny didn't even know if he had shown up yet. He wasn't always sure if he was here, or there. Many others, like yourself, have wondered if Vinny was okay. Vinny never wondered about that. He was certain he was a complete lunatic. Ocassionally, if he fancied it, he would take meds for it. Many people never met Vinny. You are not alone. He truly was a nice guy, also. There was none better. On birthdays, holidays, anniversaries and such, he used to give his mother flowers, candies and canned ham.

Whaaa....we would truly be honored if you would do us the honor of honoring our son, brother and friend. It would bring a tear to our one brown eye.

Oh, E_B, I am so sorry for your loss. Do you think it may have been an extremely rare case of flatulence at the moment of spontaneous self-combustion?
Oh, and E_B, if you bring his remains here, don't put them by the buffet table.

I was running breathlessly in here, until I heard about Vinny, so I'm in a little subdued mood right now. I wanted to show Mechanic the neat picture I took with my digital camera right outside. Jen, it's either a government weather balloon or the biggest ball of tinfoil I've ever see.
Anyway, in this photo you can plainly see the face of Jesus in the balloon. The light around him is definitely not the flash reflecting off the balloon. And I also caught all these orbs from spirits around here. But wait, there's more; look at the upper right corner...a ufo! No, wait, that's the bird...look in the upper left corner. Don't tell me that's a piece of lint on the camera or a bug flying by!
Damn, you people, why don't you believe me? You're all looking at me as if I've been drinking too much. Oh, you're just telling me to get a drink. Thanks. Yes, yes, a KY, please.

And thank you, Jen, for paying my tab. Uh, Jen, I want to be a good neighbor around here, so I have to bring this up. Your chickens are running loose here, too, and scaring my camel. My camel psychic says Chewbaca is afraid the'll peck her eyes out. On the other hand, those free range birds are sure layin' the best eggs ever. LN's Sunday omelette buffet has never been tastier.

E_B, Thank you for thinking of me to give Vinny's eulogy. Strange as it may seem I have had previous experience in eulogizing another guy that spontaneously exploded and two women that spontaneously combusted.

I wasn't present at either the explosion or combustions, but somehow I know the grief and expense you must be experiencing now as I type this note. I think I can speak for all the LN regulars in expressing our condolences at your loss, both personally and financially.

Was Vinnys name actually Vincent. I really want to do this right as I seriously take this task seriously.

But before I proceed. I need to ask if the medical establishment might be able to repair Vinny in some way; or is it truly a "humpty dumpty" scenario. Anyway keep the important bits, medical science is making serious strides in cloning. Seriously, ice some of Vinny down in a Styrofoam cooler like you get at the 7/11 and we can sent it to Sloan-Kittering for analysis. Can't hurt.

Damn Desert, you look fetching tonite. Is there any brewskies left in your corona bucket. I'm parched!!

[edit on 16-5-2007 by whaaa]

Thank you, Whaaa dear, for the compliment. I think I'll wear this little black dress, black nylons, and black stilettos to the service, as the only other black I wear is my lingerie, which would not be apropriate for such a solemn occasion, maybe the LN Sunday Early Bird Breakfast Buffet, but not the sad service.

You will be perfect for the eulogy. I'll take care of the refreshments. Minus the silver coffee urn. Took me a week to clean it after it was mistaken for the funeral urn and buried. How could those people mistake a spigot for a handle to carry the urn?? Although I did end up with a great vase for my flower arrangements, until family members made the swap.

Do help yourself to the Coronas. As the weather warms, LN will make sure there's always a chilled cerveza for you.

Oh EB, I'm awful sorry to hear about Vinny! Here, have a drink on me. EB!!!!!!! Stop pouring your drink on me...You....YOU...Ahhhh.....Oh never mind...that kind of tickles FYI....That wasn't exactly what I meant when I said to have a drink on me. Now I'm all wet. Desert... please. I know desert that doesn't sound right, but it's the truth, I'm all wet! You guys stop laughing at me. At least he didn't dump any on my head, I'm actually having a good hair day today

Yes, Mechanic...I want to thank you too for that smashing tip. I took this picture with my digital camera. Yes, that is whaaa in the picture, and no... don't ask me what whaaa was doing up in that weather balloon with those funny looking grey dames. He told me they were doing medical experiments? on him. But, the way he said it with such pleasure on his face...ummm... yeah, hmmm... it really makes me wonder? Look at him, he's still dazed and smiling.... be careful desert...he's star gazing at you Hey!?!?! look at my picture again! I have orbs in my picture too. Yeah...I guess I'll have to send this to George Noory.

Lets see...what do I feel like today? I think I'll have a Mai Tai... I'll be right back, I forgot the chicken-n-dumplings in my car. I also brought you a dozen eggs desert. I hope your camel doesn't kick any of my chickens, especially not my Gimpy....she's my favorite!

Was Vinnys name actually Vincent. I really want to do this right as I seriously take this task seriously.

Yes...his name was Vincent and thank you for taking this seriously. I have really fallen to pieces over this, figuratively of course, not literally like poor Vinny.

As I sit here now, I can't help but think of him. Maybe it's years of memories or just simply because there is a piece of his flesh still stuck to the ceiling....

Desert and Jen...thanks for the kind words and lingerie is fine. Vinny would have liked that.

E_B, I need to go into seclusion in a shallow cave to seriously do justice to Vinnie's eulogy. Mediation, Peyote, Quaalude's, magic herbs and corona are going to be my sacraments to really make this a special kinda deal.
If Jen and Desert want to come around in their lingerie to help me in this spiritual quest, they would be most welcome. Three heads are much better than one.

I'm really having a hard time finding the shallow cave, so I'm just gonna use the van. I can be found in the parking lot of U CAN Bowl. If it wouldn't be to much trouble, could someone drop me off a liter of Southern Comfort or Black Jack. Ill square up next week. I promise!!

Coming around in my lingerie? That's like waking up and having coffee too me You can always count on me whaaa

I've had a rather fun night with my neighbors, and to be quite frank... what the hell am I doing here at LN? Oh that's right.... I'm passing time until the bed spins go away Coffee for me please..I've already exceeded my limit! Sorry for any type O's I must not be held accountable for any such thing... I did have a rather interesting conversatin with my neighbor lady about menopause, but I won't bore you people with that tonight

Where is that cup of coffee?

How about some Yukon Jack? I enjoyed that stuff in my drinking daze.....warmed you up quick and got you buzzed quick also.

U CAN Bowl...that sounds like a nice place. I usually do all my meditating at the Gas & Sip.....a definite vortex there amongst the gas fumes and empty 40s!! It always brings a tear to me one brown eye whenever I spend time there.

Vinny's passing, surprisingly, brought a tear to me one blue eye.

But seriously, thank you for all the effort with the eulogy Whaaa! I know you'll make it a good one......

I found this photo on another thread Whaaa. I thought it would help inspire you. It's your pal Spiny Norman when he was just a baby. Isn't he just the cutest little hedge hog??

[edit on 19-5-2007 by Excitable_Boy]

Hello, Everybody! Am I late for the eulogy? E_B, I'm wearing my finest black lingerie. Could I get you to take a photo of me holding Vinny's picture?



What? What?...Oh, today's not the eulogy?...hey, at least I'm dressed today!

What's this? A map to the U CAN Bowl? Sorry, but I stay off the seedy side of the street.

What an adorable picture of baby Spiny Norman! You know, I think I saw him in the LN swimming pool the other day, wearing a speedo. Or was that you, Whaaa, in the speedo swimming with Spiny?

Whaaa, when you're not swimming with Spiny, do you have any gigs coming up? I'm thinking that with summer almost here, maybe you have more tourists and events to play for.

Oh Spiny Norman is so cute! The other day when I walk through LN, Spiny was all rolled up in ball sleeping. I nearly kick him when I walked past. We need to get a little Spiny Norman house, a safe house you might say, where he can sleep in peace.

Desert, that's a nice picture EB took of you holding that pic of Vinny. I think we should blow it up and frame it in remembrance of Vinny. Don't you think that would make EB feel good? Just don't hang it on the same wall where the dart boards are. Desert, it's nice to see you've temporarily left Camp Commando. Where did you get that lovely black lingerie? Maybe Fredrick's of HW?

I haven't seen Whaaa lately, I hope he's not floating in the pool face down in his Speedo again. We better go check...you know how thankful he is after a good session of mouth to mouth. Last time it nearly wore me and desert out taking turns trying to revive him. I swear that guy drowns twice a week..... even in winter! I haven't seen Chuck either, maybe he's gone to the Spa to see Angie for a nice facial?

Thanks for the compliment, Jen. No, this outfit is not Fredericks of Hollywood. It's from Freds, a block down from the U CAN Bowl. I visit Freds when I need an item pronto.

Speaking of this outfit, I'm freezing in here! When will the eulogy start?? If not soon, I'm gonna have to put on my pink chenille bathrobe and my fuzzy pink slippers.

Yeah, where's Chuck? Hope I didn't scare him off...after he scared me!
