Proposed Texas Blogfest ‘07, Part the Second
Posted by: Lord Spatula I, King & Tyrant in Front Page9:21 PM
During a recent thread, the Imperial Empress (long may she bestow large amounts of firearms & ammo on the Emperor (grin)) was overheard saying thusly:
But, we are grateful to have been fortunate enough to be able to be a part of the fun! Maybe we can accomplish something similar in Texas this year as well!
Funny she should mention that. Here’s what I have in mind:
As most of you may recall, I said:
How would you feel about a Texas Blogfest ‘07 towards the end of April? Say, the last weekend thereof? Discuss here, if you please.
(Incidentally, I’ve already discussed this with my partner in crime the SpatulaGoddess, and she rather fancies the idea.)
I’ll be telling you the reason for the April date in exactly one week’s time. Stay tuned.
So I’m a couple days late. Sue me. 
Anyway, to the point: Four days after posting this on the 10th, I took a very lovely lady out to dinner. At the end of the meal, I gave this lady a nice gift. It was in a box, was round and had a cute little trinket on top.
And it had the desired effect. Amazing how you of the feminine persuasion have this tendency to melt for these objects…
Anyway, the date we’re going to tie the knot is Friday, April 27th - Saturday the 28th if we can find a JP who’ll get up off his lazy ass take time out of his busy day that day. I figure that this event would be a good thing around which to plan a Blogfest.
Discuss.

1) CONGRATS, SPATS!!! :clap_tb: :thumbup_tb: :drunk_tb:
2) “Will there be big, scary guns there?” Sir Christopher, you get THREE guesses and the first two don’t count.

WooHoo Spats! Way to go! Congrats man :thumbup_tb:

Congrats, you lucky bastard! I see you’re finally going to make an honest woman out of her!
All you need to do is spill the gory details, and I bet that a whole bunch of the Subjects of the Empire will show up, especially if there’s free beer and lots of weaponry.

I dunno about free beer - but there should be lots of weaponry…

Congrats Spats !!!!!
As the male chauvinist pig that I am Spats, Ive learned (the hard way)that MOST of the fairer sex will dream of a more romantic, private honeymoon & celebration. Perhaps the carribean would be better in the long term? Any comments from the Lady Rotties ???
February 22nd, 2007 at 10:17 PMUsing
Oh, there’s going to be one, trust me.
In July.
In Cozumel.
Which may be when I get bombed-off-my-ass drunk for the second time in my life.

It takes a wedding to make us say, let’s live another day. Drink, l’chaim, to life!
Congrats!

in my haste be the first comment, i neglected to say CONGRATS SPATS!!

So the Lord has got himself a Lady now! Wish I could be there to celebrate the nuptials, but I will be busy with classes. (This sucketh muchly.)
Lord Fluffles the Crispy and I wish you much fun and enjoyment on your honeymoon.

Congrats, Lord Spatula!

Congratulations to both the Lord and his Lady.
I guess having a Rottfest following the wedding could be a little like having a belated bachelor party, what with all that gun p0rn.
Good choice of weekend though, one of the SOB’s I work with has already requested that weekend off. :wallbash_tb: :furious_tb:

Congratulations, Lord Spatula! May you and your Lady have many years of joy and love… What’s that saying? “May you love as long as you live, and live as long as you love!”
Unfortunately, I’m going to end up missing THIS one, too: Mom is having knee surgery in April, so I’ll be in Orlando.
Geeze, my timing truly sucks, doesn’t it?
At any rate, y’all have a wonderful time, and do try to leave some of the town standing, OK?

Congrats!…amazing what those sparkly things will do for you :biggrin_wp: . Whereabouts in the great State of Texas would this be ?. I ask because I’d have to decide wheher to drive from the People’s Repuglic of Maryland (prolly not a great idea) or fly the not so friendly skies (which means I have to leave the arsenal at home) unless some kind hearted locals would loan out some er,toys for gun pr0n. :razz_wp:

Was it this? :lol_wp:

Ah, yes. You’re talking about “Take a bizarre ride to the far side of the Peroxide Tales. A place where reality and fantasy meet. A place where there are no holds barred. A place where erotic, kinky fantasies are not just for the mind. They are for the body!”
T’was a similar tale that convinced my wife to marry me. Y’know the girls just go all gooey with that romantic crap. Why do they make us go through that?
February 23rd, 2007 at 8:26 AMUsing
Congratulations Lord Spatula on your upcoming nuptials!
February 23rd, 2007 at 9:02 AMUsing
This would be right smack dab in the midst of Empire™/Realm™ headquarters - a tiny little burg called Dallas. Also known as that place where Dwayne “Waaaah!!!” Wade’s Miami
cHeat got their asses handed to ‘em last night.(Sorry. (Well, not really.) Couldn’t resist.
)
Trust BC.

We usually bring more than we can carry anyway, and neglected firearms laying around make the Baby Jesus cry.
I’m sure something could be arranged.
February 23rd, 2007 at 9:53 AMUsing
I knew it! :clap_tb: I told JB right after you made that previous post that this was the reason!! HA! JB will confirm that…(well he better if he doesn’t want me to give those Cubans to the mailman..)
Congrats Spats and to your new Bride-to-Be! :thumbup_tb:

CONGRATULATIONS, SPATS! May the Blessings of the Lord be with you and your house, now and forever!
…but are you sure you wanna bring in this gang of drunken bast . . . er, that is, Fine Upstanding Gentlemen along? I mean, they get so loud at times, never pick up their own beer cans, leave potato chip crumbs on the sofa, and generally raise such a rucus that I’m not sure that I would even give some of them the correct date.
Just sayin’, is all…

Congratulations and warmest wishes to the both of you. I like Kat’s quote, and second it:
May you love as long as you live, and live as long as you love.
Does this constitute an invitation to the wedding, or simply an invitation to crash the reception and make total asses out of ourselves?
I have some skill as a portrait photographer, though I’m by no means professional. Now, if only I can get my camera to start working….

“’round ” Don’t be askin’t me how that got there…
February 24th, 2007 at 11:40 AMUsing
I jumped to a conclusion and was mistaken…again. :dunce_tb:
When I saw that someone had requested that weekend off, I just assumed I was working. However, after checking my handy-dandy shift grid, I see that is my long change. I’m off from Thursday to Tuesday, so there is a chance I could make it.
Planes to expensive at this point, trains take to damn long (3 1/2 days each way), but Greyhound is inexpensive and not to slow (31 hrs).
I just need info on any other expenses, ect. to try to work out a budget.
