Frantic Friday: The Mastodonian Edition ....(NSFW)

Believe it or not, not ALL Frantic Fridays are about my quest to find the


Somehow they just kind of manage to wind their way back to that topic and today, well today could just be more of the same. We'll just have to wait and see.

The title today is because I figure that even the famed G-Vegas could use a little freshen up once in awhile and with the Winter Olympics coming to a close and Mastodon Weekend just one short week away, why not Mastodonia?

In my current "semi-retired" (some would offer retarded) state of flux, very little is winding this kid too far up these days. But the upcoming Mastodon Weekend in south cackalacky, well it seems to be doing just the trick.

I'll make it to up to you Al! Perhaps as we share a shot of SoCo and continue our heated debate on,


Sure it's not a Winter Gathering, or Summer week in Vegas. The crowd will not be a hundred strong and most definitely, there will be no storming of the Castle involved.(unless of course there is and then... well)

Don't get me wrong, I love the times we throw a hundred something of us at any given time into any given situation. Some of my fondest memories and a few of the craziest things I've ever seen or done, have all come from such occasions to be certain. But I've said it before and I'll swear by it today. The recurring theme that drives me to want to be part of our incredible little community of invisible friends is, the smaller and much more intimate gatherings that occur here and there. The Bash, EH-Vegas and Mastodon Weekend all hold that special edge for me and can best be described as, times frequently flitting on that fine, fine line, of normalcy and insanity.

We had six short hours of hilarity and good times down there last year, as Peb's and I could only manage to make an appearance at the bar for the Saturday night festivities that time around. This time however we're in for at least the Friday and Saturday and one thing is for certain, we can't wait to see everyone and spread a few of our chips and cheers around, while surrounded by a several of our very favourite folks.

So bring on the drinks, discussions and debauchery!

I've got some serious stuff to rant about, with a few of the attendees this year. Just so they are fair discussions, here's the advance notice on each of them.

Items will include but are not limited to,

Pauly: I want to discuss why The TAO of Poker would choose a Danish or two,


over some fresh dericious


SUSHI?

Al: I think Tanith Belbin provides a pretty good argument here,


for getting behind Figure Skating in the US don't you? Perhaps we should discuss.

Badblood: I say Aerial Skiing IS a sport and those athletes like Lacy here,


seem to be in rather Athletic condition.

Possibly even a Badblood butt bonus candidate for


of the year?

STB: I really want to discuss those stupid jean looking things that the US snowboarders were wearing. I'm afraid I'm going to have to stick with the lovely American Linn Haug on this one and say,


there just wasn't any place for them at the Olympics.

Oh and that Dallas Cowboy thing you've got going on, that's ridonkulous too! Why the hell would you cheer for them, when everyone knows Canadian Cowgirls


are what you should really be getting behind!

Let's see, what else?

Oh yeah, The Doc!

Uh Doc a Ferrari? Really? I mean yes, it's red and it's fast but what else? I'd like to see you get a little more out of something that you're going to put all of that time and effort into, so here's something red and fast that I personally think


you'd get a hell of a lot more mileage and enjoyment out of!

I know how passionate you are about it though and I'm sure you'll


despite my little message here. I'd still like to talk about OK?

Alright, exactly one week to go from right...... NOW!

Pitter patter little calendar thingy, let's get att'er!

My sincerest thanks for dropping by....
