Fun party. JB and gardenia really belted out the songs. Bus stop was hilarious, when you see the words you wonder how it ever became so popular, hopefully it's still paying royalties to someone.

Hey, he can unretire and reretire anytime he wants to make a party--doesn't even need to change his job status.

It was a really nice party. Thanks, DIBS.

Why is it that when you order a bagel with cream cheese, you end up with 1/2 pound of cream cheese on it? Then when you order a bagel with a shmear, they barely graze the bagel with cream cheese. Is there no in between?? And the price is the same.

I want to thank you all, especially Snappy & Cobble, for the book. it was an amazing gesture; one of those things that I'll always keep. i don't know how you did it and I don't know how much time you spent on it but it is amazing.

Really fun party, everyone OUT DID themselves! I loved seeing you all in living color!

The Plusettes, Biffy, jessi and Ardenia were fantastic! And yes, the Bus Stop number is still in my head, too!

Congratulations again, and thank you, Dave!

ALL THE CREDIT for the book goes to Snaps, I was just moral support. Ok, maybe not even all that moral really—I told her it was a great idea and drank with her while she made it! But I 100% agree with you that it turned out beautifully!

Seriously -- thanks dibs, for the party and best wishes for your retirement.

The book was amazing, snappy! Did you actually speak to the what or just email?

Lots of fun singing with jb and great to see everyone! The key to karaoke is song selection (and, of course, alcohol). I am starting to work up the nerve to go solo, though I'm always happy to sing with jb and with my old singing partner etson.

[Someone needs to remind me that there's alcohol in vodka and sodas, and whoever keeps slamming my skull with a sledghammer can knock it off, now, ok?]

Hi all, I had a great time, as well. Congrats Dave, and thanks so much for a great party. Many thanks, as well, to our hard working coordinator and party planner, CGar, who worked his butt off. Thanks, as well to Arkady and Bxgrl for the cake. It was very Dave. Snappy's book was incredible, I saw it last night, but didn't have my reading glasses, (yes, I'm old) and couldn't see it too well, and missed a lot of great bon mots, I'm sure. Can't wait to see it on line. I really enjoyed myself, and count myself lucky to have you all as friends. Gotta say, Adam's "Purple Rain" was awesome! Who knew?

She baked the cock (Dahmeresque if you ask me). She and bxgrl decorated the cock (and their ample experience shows). Snappy foraged for cake glitter and other supplies. And Slopey, Biff and I worked on slogans with Arkady, with Biff's slogan the winner, "The Best Is Yet To Cum".

Slopey, there has been glitter on the pool table from the very first gathering that we had at Montero's, which I have NEVER been able to get rid of. Months later, Biff and I and our "real" friends will be playing pool, and we'll laugh when we spot glitter under one of the bumpers. I've also found glitter in the cellar numerous times when I've gone down to get ice, beer, mixers, etc.

some woman in the supermarket tonight gave me the stink eye when she saw me sniffing various bars of soap. i couldn't decide between three scents and kinds of soaps and i just kept sniffing them, i guess not realizing i was in her damn way. oh well. she could have just said pardon me or excuse me. no, she had to make a face and just stand there. part of me thinks MAYBE the wholefoods will be worth it when it opens up cuz it will keep those kinds of people (like that woman) out of Associated. she seemed liked the type of would totally switch to whole foods if it was closer.

interesting. totally interesting. never thought about that. saw the top of one of the buildings burning of collapsing at work (or maybe it was just the smoke!?) from my building at work. no one thought to take out their phones and take pics or record it, but i guess there were no phones that recorded video back then. there had to have been phones with cameras on them no? honestly, at that time i didnt even own a cell phone, i was very late to the game for financial reasons. i kinda miss crazy shit going down and not looking around and EVERY single person is recording it. tho ill admit i do get a kick out of subway fights recorded on peoples phones and all the other crazy videos on world star hip hop.

hey, i dont recall anyone taking pics or recording anything during the blackout of 2003. that was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun. gross, but fun. i had only had my dog for a few weeks at that point and it was like me and him were in some kind of post apocalyptic disaster movie.

i dont really see breast feeding all that often here. do you hang out at the tea lounge or something? supposedly that's a teet-sucking hotbed. there are perverts who get off on that kinda thing who specifically visit places like that :-/ guh-ROSS. (im not saying breast feeding is gross btw... duh it's normal tho im glad i was a formula (actually i think i was just a plain old cows milk and grape soda baby but whatever)). the young moms around her, i find, in general for the most part are friendlier than other parts of the city. (not that they arent always doing stupid shit like hello that 12 year old sitting in that stroller, or dangling your baby over a sewer to pee which luckily that last part i havent seen in a long time but appeared to be quite popular in 2010.) a lot more moms around here are legit wealthy ive noticed, and i like them better than the crunchy type faux slumming it moms with the trust funds.. they still all seem to have the faggiest husbands EVER tho.

RF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was in duane reade today buying floss and i saw that supersmile toothpaste! omg! the toothpaste itself was 22 dollars, and the whitener accelerator (HALF the normal size tube i gave you) is 40 something dollars. i didnt realize tooth whitening shit is so big in a regular drug store like that and so expensive. i would never pay that much for such a thing. im so curious if that shit actually keeps them white for a while, or just until you are done using it. i couldnt imagine paying 60 plus dollars a month on toothpaste just for the difference in a few shades of tooth color, that is beyond vain and really strange to me unless money is no issue.

cgar, if you are reading this, who made that food last night? honestly it was REALLY good and i almost never eat sausages and beef meatballs, but wow, yum yum. the pasta was so good too. i stuffed myself too much i didnt get a chance to try out anything else except a slice of the dick cake. (that was good too). tonight for dinner im eating a salad wrap to balance out the pigging out of that food last night.

Plus I read online that it's not enough fluoride and she will use her regular toothpaste one time a day and the supersmile stuff just at night. But because you smoke, you might need to keep using it to keep your pearly whites.

also when i got that supersmile stuff i treated myself and bought myself a fancy electric toothbrush so im wondering if that had just as much to do with helping than the paste did!? i cant say enough about electric toothbrushes, they are at least 10x better. (i didnt buy the sonicare one or anything tho i would LOVE one of those) but just the oral b one and it was 20 bux, but only came with one head. i thought i found spare heads in my apartment that would go on that one so it would be a good deal, no dice. and then that duane read doesnt even have the spare heads for the one i bought grrrrr. next year with my tax refund im going to buy the sonicare system or something similar... it's like under 100 bux for the regular version and i think i saw one for a bit more. i dont know, if it's worth it. i used one ONCE (it was someone elses. gross i know, but i wanted to try it out and they said sure..) and it was cool but it was more like it vibrated slightly and not spin like the spin brushes, i think the spin brushes are better and they are cheaper... they use AA batters versus the soniccare which you plug in and has a rechargeable batter (honestly that is gross having a toothbrush plugged into the bathroom wall socket tho...) i dont know. ive become so anal retentive about teeth issues lately. i wanted to buy Glide floss cuz it feels SO good but i couldnt justify the price, so i bought regular mint waxed duane read brand. i think for a lot of tooth related issues, it's more about the execution of the tools than the products themselves. obviously some things make it easier, but it comes at a cost, and if youre lazy when you brush your teeth it's better to get the more expensive stuff, but you have to weigh out the costs and benefits... thinks are marketed heavily toward lazy people these days, or people with no extra time (i dont have that no extra time thing so im very cost conscious)... duane reade even had a sale on the Tide Pods today... i dont know, is it better than having a pour bottle? i suck when it comes to detergent. i usually get the cheap ass detergent at the store, the big giant jugs (i dont trust the ones that say that you only have to use a drop and cost a gazillion dollars for a pint size bottle, bitch please, those marketers KNOW most people have it ingrained in their brain to dump a cup full into the washer). lazy moonfaces always leave their expensive detergent out anyway so i dump 1/2 mine in and just a few drops of theirs in my laundry. they'll never notice and what kind of idiot leaves their laundry detergent in the laundry room unattended anyway!?

If you wait until Key Food has a sale on Tide, you're better off. Get the liquid, not the pods. It should cost $5.00 for a hundred ounces (& multiples thereof.) Use only half the recommended amount. My niece worked as brand manager on Tide & told me that. Also that you can tear Dawn sheets into thirds & they'll be effective.
There's a Sonicare set-up that goes for about $40 at CostCo. You can get a little cap for it to protect against poo-mist.

thanks for the tips about the tide. those caps on toothbrushes tho... eh.. i dont know. they are not totally seal proof and they might make germs and bacteria multiply with those caps (i had one on this toothbrush, i was like oh hells no when id go to brush my teeth in the morning and see the inside of the cap all steamy :-/ ) i dont know what that steam is, i KNOW it's part poo mist, but at the same time if poo mist IS in there, which most likely it is cuz it's not totally air proof anyway, it's multiplying and festering. i just dry my tooth brush and we always have the window open in the bathroom. people who live in bathrooms with no windows tho, oof. that's fucked up narsty! i dont care how much you think that HVAC system in your new condos be protecting your toothbrushes and body against recirculated poo-mist, it's not happening! you need a window in a bathroom, anything other than that is just terrible and that's all on you. you have to take into account that not only is poomist in that SMALL room, but people are washing their genitals in that same room and who knows what order people wash, how they deal with towels, etc. better safe than sorry. i think toothbrushes, dried and sanitized is better than keeping your toothbrush head covered up in a piece of plastic that has openings. no way, no how, i will NOT get any more dental work that i have to pay for if i dont have to.

they SAY sugar causes cavities, yeah okay that is true, but i wouldnt be shocked if it's just filthy toothbrushes and ignorance that really causes the problems.

If you leave a tooth overnight in a glass of sugar water it'll be pitted by morning.
Some of the brush caps have infra-red light or smething to sterilize them. I believe in living on the edge & don't bother about mists.

dont you also have a mouth worth hundreds of thousands of dollars tho!?!?! that's not living on the edge! tho you did live in england for some time, no? that's probably where your dental problems started. anyway, g'nite. about to make dinner and watch some tv.
