No. I fear that instead, Wes will TAKE YOU OUT TO LUNCH.
                   Is this another WWF reference?

Heh, Dworkin was a raving nutter in the earlier books, I never finished the series much to my shame, but there were so many other I wanted to read at the time...Just re-read the Coldfire Trilogy by C.S. Friedman, and I still think they are some of the best written sci-fan books I've ever read. I know it's a good book when I start wondering about the characters and the place while I'm working. Re-reading the Song of Fire and Ice again in anticipation of the 4th book. Also picked up Michael Crichton's Eaters of the Dead out of curiousity. The 13th Warrior is one of the best movies I've ever seen, and the fact that the book isn't so much a work of fiction as a re-translation of the fragments of the journal of Achmed ibn Fadlan is fascinating. Also read the first book in Weiss and Hickmans Dragon Disciples series. It promises to be a good read. I've always had a certain fondness for contemporary fantasy involving dragons. The book is called Dark Heart I think (it's been awhile) and quite interesting. In the magazine rack next to my chair are Elmister: the Making of a Mage, and Salvatore's latest, Transcendence, book 2 in the Second Demonwars Saga. Well, that's my book propaganda for the day, I'm gonna finish A Game of Thrones now,

Not deliberately/originally, but if you imagine it delivered in that manner you get the idea.

"TAKE YOU OUT TO LUNCH" is how we threaten one another on the IE modding scene. At least, so I learned when I was the inaugural recipient of the threat.

Witness the Brothers Grimm in the original on that one *shudder* And that just put lovely images in my mind to start the day :)
Nothing the Brothers Grimm did was original.

How did that get to be a threat?  Did it use to end with "AND STIFF YOU WITH THE BILL!"?  Or do all IE modders have really gross eating habits, chew with your mouth open, etc. ?

Well, it wouldn't surprise me.

Trust me, it was a threat. He threatened to expose the "truth" about my "tool." Offered "private lessons." There was even mention of doing all of this "pubically."

No sane person could NOT feel threatened by such things. When one is invited to lunch under such circumstances.

And so the crazy tale of this thread...

Full of laughter, tears, and sarcasm, reaching the heights of exegetical literary discussion and plunging to the dark forbidden depths of Solaufein's sexual endeavours, all started so long ago because of JC...

...is now disturbed to stillness once again, by JC.

(And today I learned Jason lives in San Francisco, or at least has fans there. W00t!)

(Chicago, eh? I was driven through the city once on a business trip, and it was the single most terrifying driving experience of my life...two cabs hurtling the wrong way down one-way streets towards our car! Frankly, I'd rather be asked to lunch by someone with vague disturbing sexual innuendos, than drive in Chicago).

Dear God.

Having gotten roped into a mere cup of coffee with a memorably creepy guy named Barry once, who threatened to become stalker material, I have to say that I would rather drive anywhere, in any city, than go to lunch with anyone who might even possibly be creepy. Yech. One of his major selling points (in his eyes) was that he'd worked on Democratic presidential campaigns since McGovern. I was scarcely even born when McGovern was running, for crying out loud. Though I wouldn't have minded that if he hadn't been creepy in other ways--calling relentlessly (I was young and foolish and gave him my phone number), clinging to my car door when I tried to drive away, etc.

Heheh.  Sounds like driving in Boston...going the correct way down a one-way street is for tourists!

Try driving in the rare rain in Phoenix :) People here have either forgotten how or never knew how to drive in rain. I wasn't as scared driving in DC in rush hour as I am of the other guy here in the rain!

Hey! I used to be a memorably creepy guy who hung out around apartment complexes at strange hours of the night! Of course I was a security guard at the time with no stalker-like proclavities. I have sat near rather strange people at coffee shops who I wouldn't have gone to lunch with had they payed me, sexual innuendoes or no. As for the driving, well, the most frightening drivers I've seen were Californian tourists. Weather, place time, NOTHING keeps these people from endangering everyone on the sidewalk!

Hey!  I resemble that remark.  Although, in my defense, the reason I was driving so recklessly was that the street/highway signage was so poor.  I'd never thought I'd come across a place with worse street/highway signage than Boston, but the Monterey area won hands down.

1. Them's fightin' words.

2. You have obviously never driven in the metro Atlanta area.

                   No way. Boston streets evolved from cowpaths, and it's all been downhill from there. Plus the drivers (and parkers) are insane. The last time I visited my parents at Christmas, I went into Boston for some last minute shopping and found people parked on the off ramp near Govt Center.

Any Chinese city of six million and up takes the cake for traffic. They only paint lines on the street there to keep people employed. The same goes for the installation of traffic lights.

Did you go to a restaurant in Pacific Grove named the Fishwife, Kismet? That is the best seafood restaurant on the planet, bar none. I meet people in the most random places who have eaten there.
