The Moonshine Stalker

The other night, I was hanging out with everyone, sans-Russler, because he's currently in the process of....well, I'll let him tell that story.Anyway, we were drinking and having a jolly-good time at the house of the future, and Alison graced us with her presence.As per usual, we were being our night-owl selves, and as the night came to a close we made the decision we always make, to KEEP HANGING

An apology, of sorts.

I'm sitting here with my first beer in three days, debating what to write you all about. Where to start? We gained your trust, your enthusiasm, your heartfelt fandom, and what did we do with it?Well, we did with our fanbase what all the great legends do - disregarded it entirely. There were days where blog posts seemed likely - necessary, even. Stories that needed telling, rumors that needed

Strangers, friends, and good Samaritans:This is Special Agent Dale Cooper. You may have seen or heard of me "living" in this place, casually referred to as a 'pet' or my current species, 'Hermit Crab'.I'm not sure where to begin, and my time here is short. If you're reading this, I may very well already be dead. It has been days without food or water, and after Sylvia succumbed to these horrid

Today, my sanguinary friends, is the much-anticipated "Best Day of the Fucking Year", and Satan has blessed us by positioning it on an ostentatious Friday. Now, with precisely 23 hours and 45 minutes to go on my favorite holiday, I am going to get (dare I say it) "bat-cunt crazy" drunk.Cheers to all, and have a blatantly morbid, unscrupulously sordid Halloween.

Jack-Off 2008

2008-10-27T19:38:00.005-05:00

Yes, its that time of year again, and we all came together sunday for a day of celebrating one of our favorite October pass-times: Jacking Off. That is, making Jack-O-Lanterns and talking shit about whose is the best, of course!Congratulations to Tony Veronese for coming out the victor with his rendition of Slimer. I had too many photos to post so I decided to make a quick slideshow (and I mean

Crazy Mary Update: 10/23

2008-10-23T12:18:00.003-05:00

For months, speculation about Mary’s income source has run rampant. Mary is constantly seen leaving and returning to her home, but with a frequency and such short “away-times” that these trips wouldn’t be conducive to the idea of her going to a job everyday. After this was observed, the idea of her collecting disability and/or unemployment payments was brought up. Drug-funds were also discussed,

Us, The Un-Caring Caregivers

Assuredly, the bulk of you 2171 readers have yet to be informed that Matt and I own pets. But in the dank catacombs of our apartment I assure that life, however meger, does exist here other than our own.We've adopted two hermit crabs from out ever-gracious friends, the Glarrows, and have been adamantly hospitable to them for three months. However, tragedy has befallen us, as it typically does,

This is what Neal will be like as a father....and I beg anyone to disagree. Only, it will probably be about LOST instead of Star Wars.Penny Arcade - The Breaking PointWhen Neal's wife is expecting, they'll go as Pregnant Claire, and Charlie. Maybe Locke, depending on how quickly he can fashion a wooden crib.Year 1 of the child's life: Neal's first Trick or Treat experience with child in tow will

Playlist Sabotage

2008-10-15T11:34:00.002-05:00

Now, I will never insult the musical tastes of anyone. I'm the most musically inept individual you'll ever meet. Until Neal and Robin started subjecting me to monthly musical inoculations in the form of new iTunes playlists, I was like "The Strokes"? Aren't they that....band...with that.....song?And a million other embarrassing gaping holes in my musical knowledge. Tom Waits? For who? WHO IS TOM

Jam packed....

There are two distinct waves of social activity at 2171. Wednesday nights and the weekend. The larger wave of the two is most definitely the weekend. Sometime around 5 o'clock you'll find us with a beer or scotch or russlerita (hell, the list goes on for days) and by 8 or 9 the sun has set, the white christmas lights are creating a beautiful ambiance, and many of our friends have made their way

Happy Birthday, Robin

2008-10-09T16:49:00.002-05:00

Because, let's face it: she has an enormous amount of clout and influence here at 2171, practically being a resident herself and all, and I'm absolutely crazy about her.Saturday, we're all converging on Sous La Terre at midnight in celebration of this wonderful gal, and I'd like to take this opportunity to formally invite any and all readers of the blog to join us there. Cheers.

Cock-Off 2008

2008-10-01T19:05:00.011-05:00

For those of you that haven't heard of, attended, or inspired one of the many "offs" that have taken place at the House of the Future, this is a tradition that dates back ages....months, even. There were others before this, such as the Type-Off, the Puzzle-Off, and even a Grilled-Cheese-Off. All of which have had either disastrous, heavily debated, or joyous results. The Cock-Off - quite simply,

Waking up is all a blur on Saturdays. Sometime that morning, I stumbled groggily toward the scent of coffee, and the first thing that caught my eye was this lovely addition to our [Neal's] ever-growing plant collection. This was all his and Robin's doing, but I just had to show it off. Being green on Saturdays is a nice way to combat whatever bad karma one has collected the night prior.

Regarding Moonshine

2008-09-29T23:34:00.005-05:00

In my most recent post, dear reader, you may have noticed my juvenile fumblings around different nicknames for moonshine. "Quicksilver" was used, as was the shameful "Wake-Up Juice" (which, was stoled from Back To The Future III). My apologies. I'm not the word-smith I thought I was.However, as is frequently the case, which is to say, "after the fact", I've stumbled upon several monikers for "the

Talking online with Drew and Jon Friday, we decided that Jon should start his own school of badassery. This comes one day after I tell Drew about Jon's rather incredible life, from one end of the spectrum of 'wild' to the other where he's an IT specialist for the Air Force. Incredible. So, really, this is just a post to show you the many courses you'll be able to take while in attendance. I'm not

Over the course of life, somewhere along this crazy journey, people find society and innovators across the expanse of time before us that have made provisions for an easier life.Roads, laws, grocery stores, etc.I don't know if its the booze, the drinking, the whiskey, or general stupidity on my part, but several things pop up in my life as completely obvious needs in society and, as it were, no
