[F] Eindhoven Meet Report
Patrick 'Turtle' Dersjant
The creation of alt.fluffy-toys.hit.hit.hit
When I arrived at Eelco's home to join the ride into Eindhoven city
centre and towards the meet, I was greeted with 'That's number four!'.
Soon the reason became obvious as Rolf, Uwe and David Fawcett were
already present[1] and waiting. So after a quick cup of coffee/tea we
went of to Eindhoven, where we were already eagerly awaited by Arwen
and Jeroen (Labrat). OK, so we were 10 minutes late but we blame that
on the public transport[2]. Having settled down and ready to order our
first beverage, it became apparent that Eelco was probably living in
that pub - they were already pouring his Guinness when we still had to
come in, in a matter of speaking. Some moments later, Jos arrived,
followed by Joost, Luc (two warmly welcomed newbies), Jeroen B. and
Kimberley.
No sooner the drinks had arrived or fluffy toys started to appear.
First of all four fluffy elephants, soon after followed by a^H the
fifth elephant, Rubi the Rhino, a duck (what duck?), Tux and a hand
puppet of Mr Hat. Soon the company was busy hitting the toys, throwing
them around or doing other unpleasant things, which I missed. A hint
of relevancy was introduced by Jos, who proclaimed that he knew what
happens in the fifth elephant, followed by throwing the fifth elephant
into the air, letting it fall down onto the floor. The immediate
reaction was a scream "Spoiler Space!" from all around...
Topics before dinner included geeking, being evil, meets in general,
translations, geeking, a discussion of the merits of vi and emacs
interrupted by some lingerie talk to distract the geekers, Elephants
and Mr Newton, Doom administrator, navigating in city's in general and
The Hague in specific, as well as fantasy authors (including Feist)
and their general readability.
Experiments on the temperature of a good pint of Guinness were
prevented by quickly downing the fluids present on the tables.
Whilst on the one side of the table, elephants were started to be
juggled, on the other side some biological and physical geeking
happened, including lasers.
After a while the crowd became hungry and we moved to have some
(excellent) food. During dinner, discussions were continued, and more
than once lead to geeking (Jos: "I can geek about almost anything").
Topics included Arwen's hair (though I can't read anymore what I wrote
down about this) and IP geeking[3]. Also, as Jos ordered some more
chips after the meals had been consumed, fights erupted over his
plate.
When the food had been consumed, hitting the fluffy toys continued in
earnest. As Eelco had brought some pink ribbon, this was used in
excess. I'm not quite sure whether the tied-in Tux made the
pictures... at one point, there was a clear pink ribbon noose hanging
down from a lamp...
At two ends of the table, spontaneous filking erupted, and after some
time, Kimberley was filked upon by a choir of Eelco, Jeroen B, Jos and
Arwen. The texts of the filks went with Arwen, so maybe she will post
(some of) them later on...
Then at about 10.45 we paid the bill and headed out to play a round of
laser quest. Unfortunately, Labrat and Joost had to catch a train and
couldn't join us, so there were only ten of us left to play.
Last time this was tried in Eindhoven, we had to wait quite some time
for previous groups to finish, but this time we could start after a
very short wait. We were the only ones playing, so we didn't have to
deal with experienced snipers[4]. The group was split into the Red
team (Luc, Patrick, Jos, David, Uwe) and Green (Eelco, Arwen, Kim,
Jeroen B, Rolf). Fun was had by all, leading to a Red victory by 1543
to 1360. Precise scores weren't noted down as an attempt to make a
readable three dimensional matrix on a piece of paper failed.
So we continued down to the pub, a bit more tired and in need for
another pint. Quiet conversation happened, after which eight of us
went to stay at Eelco's place. Jeroen B and Luc said goodbye as our
cabs arrived.
At Eelco's place there was a short IRC session, but most people were
craving for some sleep/rest.
Next morning brought an abundant breakfast which included muffins
brought by Jos. The meet gently faded out as I brought Arwen,
Kimberley and Jos to Utrecht, The Hague and Leiden, earning myself the
title of official dutch afp meet taxi driver.
And just to answer the question of the evening: The two letter code
for Minnesota is
And now, for some quotes:
"You're all bastards" - Jos
"I had Leo on my mind" - Labrat
"It looked futuristic in a retro kind of way" - attribution lost.
Anyone?
"I'm not a duck, I'm a helicopter" - Jos
"An open-source penguin, is that one you can bugger?" - Eelco
"All evil shields up" - Labrat on Kimberley arriving
"There is no reason to be paranoid" - coined by Jos, used throughout
the evening.
"She's a nice person to talk about..." - Eelco, missing the ^W
"There is a slight difference between Colm and Donal" - Jos
"de.a.f.p. is not a newsgroup like alt.fan.fetish.sex.sheep" - Labrat
"There is no 'N' in Minnesota - oh, there is, never mind me" - Jos

Well....since Luc is the cause of me being on afp and has allready
visited several Eindhoven meets, I wouldn't call him a newbie...
David Facett however was, bringing the newbie count back to 2.

Of course, he got away with that only because he has allready visited
so many meets before. Which brings us to the topic discussed at the
meet of how to call people often visiting meets. First timers are
newbies, of course. Arwen wanted to be a regular, so at your second
meet you are a regular. Three meets makes you an old fart. Some of
those present decided it might not be such a good idea to explore the
more-then-4-times.

And now for the song. This was a 30 minute job, so it is still a bit
rough.
To the tune of Wild Rover...
I was all normal, an average creep
and I spend all me money on women and sheep
My life, it was easy so joyful and kind
but now there's this angel that's haunting my mind.
chorus:
And it's no, nay never,
no never no more,
'cause she's mean, and she's evil
no never, no more
One day the thesis of Leo is done
but his innocense will never be gone
She will always tease this harmless old man
In every which way that she possibly can
chorus...
Since this evil in my life did came
I know who the bastard is I have to blame
Kimberley is what this evil is called
she must be Alex-es most horrible fault
chorus...
Yet she looks so nice and so terribly cute
you'd say she's benign and a hell of a hoot
But whatch out she's evil and mean as can be
incredible danger for both you and me

Mmm. ok then. Though I hadn't met Luc beore on a meet, so I assumed.
Lesson learned: never assume anything ;)

OK then: Yocote, turtle, Wingnut, Morris, Uwe as Red and Cyclone,
Gwyllion, Angel Jeroen B and Rolf as Red. See above for Real Names.

Nope, the only thing I have are my own scores. So if anybody *is*
interested: I got it 8 times by Cyclone but only twice by Angel and
Gwyllion.

I have some stuff, try-outs and other scribblings. Do people want them to
be finished first? I can post them, but don't hold your breath, ok? it

Well, yes. I'm *very* busy atm, home pc has crashed [will be sorted out by
the end of the week, if I can get my BOFH-friend to drop by and do it...I
probably can, 'cos he does my pc in return for me teaching him
horsebackriding]
But it were mainly try-outs and startings. Should they be finished first,
or posted
the way they are now? Jos, Patrick? [use the reply function, I use another
ad. for
the time being]
So: I will get to it eventually. Just don't hold your breath.

um...
Red: Yocote, Turtle, Wingnut, Morris?, Uwe
Green: *?* , Gwyllion, Angel, Jeroen B, Rolf
> I thought there were more. Are they just missing, or are they with

not that I know of. I'll check the paper, it's at home.
*Idea for the next meet: as I heard it will be rather a large one, with
importAFPers
and all, is it a good idea to have more quote-takers? The count revealed
that there
will probably about 20 visitors, and in such a large compagny it might be
usefull to
have 3 of them. They only have to take quotes, these can be submitted to
the
report afterwards. I volunteer.

Yep, but as you can read in another post, the hit.hit.hit was
suggested by arwen.
