BLE Night out on the Town?

[DiscoDave]

Zach had a pretty interesting idea...what would ya'll think of getting the BLE crew together some night for bowling, or something non-gaming related? (Not that we couldn't find a few coin-op games, if we so desired. ;))

Nothing serious, and not really directly related to BLE itself, but a chance to hang out with fellow geekX0rz?

[Itsmeee]

and while were there we can so off our calculator/watches/calander/word processor/GPS and measure who has the thickest glasses... :rolleyes:

Ahh what the heck, sure why not publicly humilate myself further. :p j/k yeah that sounds like it would be fun! Theres that bowling alley in downtown Bham and the pizza joint that sponsers us is right near I believe too.

[dusk]

I'd go bowling

[Excessive]

I might be interested.:)

I would also be interested in any private LANS between the official BLE lans. So much more fun to be able to talk to the people that are killing you.;)

[SuperDude]

bowling hell yeah =)

[he22871]

No. I hate you all.

Mr. Dumb Gay

[Verbal]

Certainly! That would be loadses of fun + 1!

Yay for bowling!

After Feb's LAN, we'll be every 4 weeks! So then you won't have to wait so long. ;)

[ghrogels]

hmmmm, bowling, i dunno, it could get really competitive, or maybe someone will get hurt

[PyroInsane]

I vote yes for bowling, last time i bolwed i got 10 strikes :D, my highest score ever was 260 or so... but yea, bowlin with the BLE crew is good. THen you all can see just how fukin tall i am...

[ghrogels]

so, uh, wehn r we bowling?

[he22871]

sorry about my last reply it wasen me. I wouldent mind goin bowlin. Just give me the time and the place.

[DiscoDave]

Well, I thinking the Saturday after this Saturday until I realized it was Valentines day. Dagnabbit!

[Ender]

LOL! I didn't even think of that! well...we could do it the saturday before the LAN for....uh...a week early prelan party or something. :p

[Itsmeee]

that would be kicken...n stuff...:D

[PyroInsane]

Cool, sounds like fun, mind if my girlfriend comes along?

[DiscoDave]

I was actually going back and forth about that very issue today. I was thinking we could offer an open invite to all girlfriends and wives so they can get a feel for why their hubby/boyfriend runs away every month.

Maybe a sort of female support group could form, so they could get together and do...um...girl stuff....while we lan. I remember the wives of the founders of LPNW had a system similar, to the point where they actually looked forward to the LANs as much as the guys did. Almost. ;)

I haven't talked to Ender about this yet, but what do you guys think? Would you like it to be a Guys Night Out, or do you think your significant others might enjoy it as well?

[Excessive]

I wouldn't mind one way or the other. I don't have a girlfriend at the moment. Where was that eBay link...

Bidding war on.

:spank:

[Ender]

do I see $100?? Anyone?? Going once! going twice! :D



I think my wife would like to come, though I don't see her getting into the the girls night out thing. You never know though, she might surprise me. ;)

[PyroInsane]

Bah, my girlfriend would'nt be interested in "Girls Night Out" seeing as shes 14... im 15 BTW in case anyone didnt know.

Moving on then.

If yall are single, I wouldnt want you to feel left out or anything,so mabye we should do a poll on this one?

[PyroInsane]

>=D Poll Posted!

[Itsmeee]

Posted n Poll

[Pineconeboy]

I think I'm going to make a habit of going to jazz night at the Boundary Bay Brewery (Tuesdays). Some of yall should come along.

[PyroInsane]

[DiscoDave]

If Ender's okay with the schedule, I'm gunna try and do bowling at around 2:00pm on Sunday the 15th. That should give everyone plenty of notice. I dunno if that fits Ender's schedule, though...he's got church, and stuff.

[PyroInsane]

Heh, its all good, i might bring a girl along with me, no drooling over her all you single dudes.

[Pineconeboy]

Gonna be out of town, d'oh.

Paintball sounds prohibitively expensive for us broke students with no equipment of our own. :(

[M4LFUNCT10N]

Hmm. Last time I went paintballing..... I spent $100. And I took my own equipment! It gets expensive when your whole team chickens out and you are the only one shooting. Go through a case of paint like cheetos at fat camp.

BTW.... I'm new here. :D

[Pineconeboy]

Same. Ender showed me this site after we randomly encountered each other on the field of UT2003. :)

You live near Vancouver BC? That's the only north shore around here that I'm familiar with (and I have ALWAYS wanted to mountain bike there).

[M4LFUNCT10N]

A little bit closer than you think..... I'm on North Shore Rd(north shore of lake Whatcom). I'm actually on the east side of the lake though. Over by Agate Bay.

[Pineconeboy]

Nice area! I was hiking on the Lake Whatcom trail with a couple friends just last weekend, and I've been over near your end once for a geology field trip. :)

[Ender]

My work just did a house up on the North Shore...frickin' huge, right on the water across from bloedel donavan. Very nice area! :tup:

[PyroInsane]

Lol, this guy down at Semper Fi rules, he will prolly give us major discounts for coming in a big group and all.

[ghrogels]

north shore eh?

i think im just across from you then, over on samish way and govener. kinda spooky

:wtf:

**edit**

OH, are you thinking of lake sammish? I'm over off of Whatcom.

[ghrogels]

Okay, how about Saturday the 21st? I know it's only one week before the lan, and taking two saturdays can be a pain in the keister, but...well...

[PyroInsane]

WEll, sunday is a bit of a bearcat, i do all my HW on sunday, and ive got an all day project to do, so next saturday is better.

Oh, please. What would you rather do...fly to Costa Rica, or go bowling? :mad:

[M4LFUNCT10N]

I'd rather go bowling.. but that's just me.. ;)

[Itsmeee]

Costa Rica is a Central American success story: since the late 19th century, only two brief periods of violence have marred its democratic development. Although still a largely agricultural country, it has expanded its economy to include strong technology and tourism sectors. The standard of living is relatively high. Land ownership is widespread.

10 00 N, 84 00 W

total: 51,100 sq km
water: 440 sq km
note: includes Isla del Coco
land: 50,660 sq km

coastline: 1,290 km

Terrain: coastal plains separated by rugged mountains including over 100 volcanic cones, of which several are major volcanoes

Internet Service Providers (ISPs): 3 (of which only one is legal) (2000)

Internet users: 384,000 (2002)

Population: 3,896,092 (July 2003 est.)

Other then the low internet use sounds like a great place to vacation or even have a summer house. :)

Well... obviously. I just didn't want Ender to be all disappointed and think I don't like him.

[ghrogels]

we're calling up a few places (well I think there's only two in town eh?) to find out WHEN is best - also what TIME is best. That will be posted shortly.

We're thinking probably afternoonish time though...how's that sound to everyone? Reason being is last time I looked leagues seem to take over around 6 pm...

WHO is left up to all of you folks. :)

[PyroInsane]

Excellent, next week saturday is perfect. not sure if my blond hottie can come though... gotta call her and ask.... :D
hm... i rebound pretty quick from breakups... oh well, chin up as they say!

Isn't it pretty easy to rebound when it's all in the family?(reference to Everson).

[PyroInsane]

Eh, excuse me, but we are not ALL hicks down here in everson, in fact, i am as far from hick as you can get. dont say anything like that again or im gonna break your face in at the next LAN, and i mean it too. :mad:

[PyroInsane]

and as for that "keeping it in the family" part FYI the chick im asking to come with me is not related to me, ill forget you said that, but if you ever say sumtin like that again, well, reffer to my previous post for that one.

[DiscoDave]

If there's any face breaking at our lan, I'm going to have to start breaking some faces! :mad:*

[PyroInsane]

Sorry Dave, i just dont take shit like that from people, it was totally uncalled for.

[DiscoDave]

I seriously doubt he meant anything by it. Now if he said something like...oh, I dunno, "Your mother is a monkey's uncle", THEN I could see justification for getting upset.




BTW, Itsmeee's mother is a monkey's uncle.

[Pineconeboy]

You kids and your local pride. When you leave in a few more years and look back, you won't miss it at all. Isn't that what most kids in small towns want? To get out of their small town and move on to greater things?

Anyways seriously dude, you can't take stuff like that seriously. In my online clan (pdX) we call each other fat/retarded/impotent/gay/everything you can think of but we know it's all <3.

See...now I thought that was because everyone in pdX was fat, retarded, impotent, and gay.

It was just a joke! I would never say something like that in seriousness!

Sheez... I could post that exact same thing on all the other boards I frequent and no one would take it seriously.

[Ender]

/me takes note to remember the level of m4lfunt1on's seriousness....bwuahahhahahaha ;)

[M4LFUNCT10N]

I'm always facetious. I can't help it! My mom gets pissed cause I say "just kidding" all the time. I don't think she realizes that most people can't tell when I'm kidding. Oh well! :shrugs:

[SuperDude]

saturday possibile, i think my friend is havin a paintball party for his b-day that weekend, not sure when though.

[ghrogels]

the late afternoon would be best ...

[ghrogels]

[DiscoDave]

Okay, guys, we're set for 4:00pm at 20th Century Bowling Inc.

The address is:

1411 N State St in Bellingham.

Is that a reasonably nice bowling ally? I've never been to either of them.

[Ender]

I've never been to either of them either, but I have heard that the one on State street isn't the nicer of the two...though they both don't look that great from the outside anyways. Unless anyone has some real experience at both and strong opinions about it, I say we just go with this one and find out what it's all about.

[DiscoDave]

DiscoDave's Law on Probability: Given two choices and a random choosing mechanism, you have a 50% chance of choosing either one - unless one choice is significantly better than the other, in which case the chances go from 50/50 to 10/90 for the better/worse scenerio.

20th century bowling is the shit! If i remember correctly, they have an old Soul Calibur coin-op game there too :D

I've been wondering if you went to the same church...I never put that together! All the questions you asked and the different things you were doing. Can't believe I never figured it out! lol, I was about to ask you too cause it started to dawn on me. :rofl:



m4l: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Also known as the Mormon Church, though that isn't the real name. :shrug:

[ghrogels]

ah dude, i thought i had already told you, and i didn't want to tell you again, cause then i'd look like a foolio
