Michigan Community Meetup: Epilogue & Videos

April 21st, 2009 by Ian (DJI)

The aftermath of planning from this thing and that thing. April ’09. ‘Good month.

The videos pretty much tell the tale. All aboard the sinking failboat! Here’s an auto playlist.

I honestly don’t remember much. Much of the video showed me what I did, but I don’t remember a goddamn thing on my own. Up front, I apologize for bein’ a total jackass on the camcorder. Oh man….oh man….“shutup Ian.”

The Final Four basketball games fucked everything up not because the place was full, but all the big tables had reserved signs on them with nobody sitting at them the whole game. So we were forced to gather upstairs by the bowling alley. Regan and I got there first, then Skreesha & Helicine, later Snowball, then SimpleNate & Alexis. We proceeded to make fun of carrotpanic for a long time.

Later came the Air Hockey Boss Fight which is just a fancy way of saying we were done waiting for carrotpanic and went downstairs to play stuff. I have no idea what win-loss records were or anything on that. We captured a few games on the camcorder though. And somehow my shirt got ripped during the madness. Snowball later turned my shirt into a tie. We also saw this chick wearing the shortest skirt imaginable. We could outright see her ass. It was what-the-hell drunk. Nate, post those pictures, dude.

ClownDisease and carrotpanic showed up. We all did our thing, carrotpanic beat me at table hockey for a drink and he redeemed his awesomeness because he came, left, then came back. I was challenged to Galaga and lost by a measly 70 points which is like, killing one ship. I think I forgot to buy that drink though. Long Islands were the hot shit of the night. I think I got into the double-digits in drink count…which put my bar tab in the triple digits. Holy hell.

I think there’s footage of me passing out on the air hockey table and during a Time Crisis game. Let’s have a look-see…

Living in the Minus World 1

August 21st, 2008 by PhilthBot69

I’m back, I’m English and I’m a little concerned over the state of my Country. I’ve been writing this column in various formats for a while now and it seemed a good time to drag it out like the old chestnut it is and give it a bit of Robot Panic polish for you all. So for those who don’t know me, haven’t got a clue what this is all about and stuff… well my name is Phil, I’m an egotistical and opinionated bastard at the best of times and this little blog is my way of venting about a) my life and b) living in this beautiful yet somehow screwed up Country.

So I guess even though it’s the middle of summer and still raining and cold in the UK I feel the time is right to talk about air conditioning, or should I say the lack-of. It’s one of those strange things I’ve come across whilst travelling to various countries over the years – every other country has it and for some reason we don’t seem to care. It strikes me as odd that a number of countries with far worse economies and cooler weather than we have seem to place an importance on this important convenience in life when we don’t. Maybe we’re just too tight. Maybe we’re just too English.
