Would a couple you anal retentive malcontents like to get together at
the "Egg and I" or "Ellis Island" for breakfast in the very near
future?? We each buy our own, and we can talk shit about the freakers
not there.

Whada ya think. We can set it up here. We can meet at the agreed
place, time and date ......we can wear sunglasses and speak in
Italian.

Seriously, some of your locals or people visiting in town here want to
get together for breakfast?? If it gets to big for our impromptu get
together I'll call ahead and make a reservation at the agreed to
place.

Kiss my ring when you enter. <J> toe ring:)

Here's a suggestion don. Why not have your get-together at sunset station
for the buffet? It is only $4.99 for breakfast (with slot card) and
cheaper than anyplace else.
BTW..i won't show up since it might scare away some of the other
malcontents.

Sunset Station (1301 W. Sunset, Henderson) is a great idea! What are

For a card, it only takes one minute for the lady to make a card, but be
advised, that one person with a card can get the $4.99 breakfast price for
5 other people. They allow a card member to take 5 other people to the
buffet for the reduced price.

Because of the hours I keep as a night club DJ, breakfast is a little
hard to swing, unless it's an early 7:30 - 8:00 breakfast.

Lemmie know if that works.

Great news. I think it would be fun for us to meet there shortly.
There are a lot of great tourists <all kneel and make the sign of the

would be nice to get together and eat some breakfast.

That sounds cool to me. I work as a prostitute for old ladies in
their 70-80 year old range. Its a specialized thing. :) Oh, God, I
am about to gag in my own mouth..... hahahaha. And no one try to
steal my metal cane....again damnit. :)

We could have two times, one at 7:00 am for the early risers (me), and
say, 8:30 am (I'll hang around) for the others to fit into their busy
Vegas schedule. I am gleaning info here and will set it all up.
People need time to schedule and plan, so howz about 9-2,3,4-11?

I had a friend that forgot one time that he was supposed to pay. It
was an honest mistake, and he just got up and left like I was supposed
to pay just because I was the Supervisor. He forgot that he was
supposed to pay, so I made an honest mistake and forgot to pick him up
from the musicians strike at the Tropicana. He had to take the
freakin buss home, ...I laughed for a week on that one. He was like
the kinda person that would play his hand in a poker game, then try
to play yours as well. And comment like he knew what the f he was
talking about. He would yell at you for not doing what HE thought you
should so! Stupid! He would walk up to road kill and try to tell it
how to do better next time... and get pissed off because it did not
thank him for blessing the carcass with his view. Its a damned wonder
he made it out of the Hitler Youth without getting beat up. He
slipped in the shower and hit his head on the faucet. He was talking

Fortunately Ellis Island is very small (I say this being for my sake
as much as yours).

If the email you are posting with gets email, I will send you my cell
number.

Also I'm sure you'll have no problem getting someone to point you in
the right direction.

If there's a barista or maitre d', I'll tell them to expect you and to
direct you to our table.

I will be wearing a black Pendleton with a red bandanna headband.
(I'll attach a pink flamingo lawn ornament to it if necessary).

You must not miss this opportunity to meet two of the weirdest most
annoying people on Usenet, who have a firmly established reputation of
being boringly ordinary in real life.
And don't worry, neither of us will want to hang onto you beyond
breakfast.

You can accessorize if you want to, but I probably won't be impressed.

Me, I'll probably be wearing the custom T-shirt I ordered and wore at
the time of my last debacle.

So, the stage is set for a meet 'n greet.

Will other AVLVers feel constrained to come by, driven either by
hunger or morbid curiosity?

Will Big Mikey's ghost make an appearance and order a spooky salad for

OK Don, now pay attention while I lay it all out for you.

I posted elsewhere that I will be visiting Las Vegas in late
September.

It was suggested that I meet with Ace (and any others who wish to show
up) on Saturday, Sept. 24th at 8 AM at Ellis Island for breakfast.

This is DIFFERENT than your suggestion of an earlier get together.

I know, it's a lot of information to process, but spin the propeller

I understand your point that you did not even try to clarify earlier.
You came into a string created for another purpose and attemted to
usurp it for purposes that it was not created for. Now, have I made
my position perfectly clear. And don't be arrogant when you are
jumping into other conversations created for another purpose and
acting as if you are correct and not out of place. Now, do you
clearly understand you pimple head.

If it is, as you put it so well, This is DIFFERENT than your
suggestion of an earlier get together, then you should have used
better communication skills, manners and related y creating another, I
repeat another string for that purpose. You did not communicate
well, and you attempted to high jack a string.

I input slowly so you can read it slowly...:)

Learn to communicate better, start your own damned string for your
damned purposed and pull that arrogant k outta your ass.

Now, did i share warmth and clear communication.

Sure, absolutely. 9-2 at 8:00am is fine. And wherever you want to have
it, Egg & I or Ellis Is.or wherever else is fine with me too.

I didn't meant to trump your gracious invite, believe me. The 9/24 and
Ellis Is. suggestion was based solely on accommodating Mr.V being
able to join us. Like you said, the more the merrier.

But I can do 9/2 with you and 9/24 with Mr.V. Whatever, whenever,
wherever is fine by me.

My life seems to consist of numerous luncheons, beer and coffee grabs
with people I'm meeting for the first time for one reason or another.
That's why getting together with a "stranger" from avlv has never been
something I've ever given a second thought to.

More the former than the latter. :) Anyone that wants to attend is
welcome to do so. The food prices are great there, and it is always
fun. I will arrive early and have (hopefully) the table on the far
back left corner of the room near the drink station/room set aside for

Good grief, Ace* has gone soft!

Next thing you know, he'll be leading the group in his rendition of
Kumbaya.

I have jinxed myself.

My kid, who made the decision in Aug, to start college out of state in
Sep, re-decided to start in Jan and then just re-decided on Sep after
all. So, with all the last minute goodbye family and friend get-
togethers, I'm tied up until after departure time Sep 9th.

Sorry, Don.

I'm gonna try for it, Don. Although it's gonna cost me a huge loss of
sack time sacrifice. You better be worth it.

I'm sincerely sorry I missed breakfast with you, Don.
Things are just too out of kilter with my kid's sudden leaving for
college announcement.

At least you know what I look and sound like. For me you've been a
flipping mystery man for years. Not to mention a living legend.
Hopefully you'll be magnanimous enough to give me one more chance.

Proud papa Ace*.

It was nice and I enjoyed it. We had three people show up, and now I
can put a face to a name. Sadly, so can they :).

it was agreed that we would keep information private so I will honor
that. Thanks to the "Gleesome Threesome (boresome foursome) for
meeting.

A composite sketch is already circulating. Coincidentally, it matches
one that's hing on the wall in my local post office.

As everyone knows, "hing" is the official abbreviation of "hanging".

And... why is abbreviation such a long word?

Its not so much that we decided to "keep it a secret", just that if
those that show get to know, those that did not, do not. This group
is not known for its niceness and credability.

Yes, there will be another "meet and slap / greet" on Sept 24, 2011.
I am not involved with this one but encourage others to attend. :)

The photo that looks most like me are "Zay-us" from Planet of the
Apes. hahahaha

I still get checks from things that sprang from that. Its good to get
paid for work done 15 and 20 years ago. I got a lot of shit from
people that are no longer part of the group. I laugh all the way to
the bank. Actually, it is electronic and I don't even get off the
table. :)

Gee don....I was not following your posts about breakfast at ellis island
and did not know you were going to meet on 9-2-11. I was in Ellis island
on the evening of the 1st for dinner with my wife. Had steak and shrimp
and it was yummy. Of course I said I wouldn't attend any breakfast but
maybe I missed a chance to have breakfast with tom ronson.
Too bad...that would have made my day.
LOL
