MOTM - January 10, 2008

Quite a nice turn out last night. We had at least a three tabler.

As it was the anniversary of my entry into this world, somebody (Steph McC and Stuart?) bought me a couple of silver Patron shots, so my memory of the event remains somewhat suspect. Thanks, guys.

As far as the silver Patron, that has to be one of the superior inventions ever by humankind, right up there with fire, the internets and the TV remote. We were taught in organic chemistry that alcohol was invented before soap, so it was obvious that people were more interested in being drunk than being clean. I understand.

Charter members Sharon and J-Spot brightened the night. Penny, Beverly and Paula added intellectual substance. Angel and Lone Star Todd made triumphant return appearances. Exotic international chick (International exotic chick?) came for the last time for a few months. She thinks attending class and obtaining degrees and stuff is more important than MOTM. No sense of priorities. Thanks, EIC, for the cake and ice cream. Very festive.

Of course, Steph was there. She invited her hair dresser who she described as beautiful and much more of a partier than anybody we knew. I left a little early but I hope she eventually showed up and will come back. I would like to meet anybody with that endorsement.

Luke, who, for better or worse, shares half my DNA made his inaugural visit. I like having him here. Sonali, Debbi K., Ryan and Tiana aided in the frivolities. Lesley B. showed up late but is always most welcome. Stuart and the ever present cell phone added his own brand of elan and panache.

I know I have left some people out because of the convergence of agave based alcohol and restricted arterial function. Please supplement in the comments.

Major controversy of the evening was that Lone Star Todd dared to say that Shawshank Redemption was a better movie than The Princess Bride. Fists were clenched and chairs pushed back until cooler heads prevailed. The topic for the next MOTM is your five top movies of all time and why you are wrong if you don't agree with me.

Until then. Peace. Out.
