Guess it's up to us to do it ourselves locally since it doesn't look like the friend finder or Frappr Map is going to happen anytime soon........

rodney carigton,

from arizona... but you probalby already guessed that, with me being Dutch and all....

[1st Dutch junkie] All that matters is getting my fix.

Do decimals mean the same as commas in the EU?

On September 1st, 2008 (12:31 GMT) sadock says:

or was that a typo? For example, I would've written that 8,768 km. I know y'all do your dates opposite of us. It's always fascinated me. Little differences, as they point out in Pulp Fiction. So, do you eat your french fries with mayonnaise?

And don't get me started on standard vs. metric. I have no idea why Americans insist on remaining ass backwards there. Must be our arrogance again. Wish we could get over that.

Not me...

On August 27th, 2008 (18:56 GMT) Gmork says:

I'm on the East Coast but I have to fly to Tempe, AZ four times a year for business. If the FDO makes AZ a stop on his Contagious book tour I am totally planning a business trip around it!

~~~ mwhuahahahahaha ... so it's, you know, coming along ~~~~~~~

Goes to show what I know.....

On August 28th, 2008 (09:41 GMT) sadock says:

Somehow I'd gotten the impression (obviously false) that JP, you, and ShadyGirl were all up in CO. Thought I saw something about y'all getting together for drinks semi-regularly. Cest la vie.

Don't suppose you're friends with Evo as well? I go hang out with him and Sheila when I go down to Phoenix metro. Looking forward to AZ podcamp this November. Should be able to network/meet lots of folks there.

Virtual Happy Hour...

On August 28th, 2008 (10:10 GMT) Gmork says:

Unfortuantely I havent met anyone from this forum in person...had plans to make it to Houston and then had to cancel for work commitments. But maybe the Contagious tour will be my chance.

Haven't met Evo either but based on his Podiobooks.com comments and the banter on Twitter, he seems like a really amiable guy.

Kinda surprising

On August 31st, 2008 (12:25 GMT) sadock says:

The East coast is pretty much one big megalopolis, unless you're pretty far South. Figured you'd have lots of opportunities to meet people. Must be your penchant for mystery holding you back ;)

Then again, I'm fairly surprised that I've had zero response to the AZ junkie post. Figured I'd at least get a few from Tucson or Phoenix metro. That's several million people.

But here's the secret

On August 28th, 2008 (13:45 GMT) JP says:

Gmork, Twowire and I were separated at birth. My father, her father and his father are all fathers--you see: we're related. That's why you may notice occasional gross similarities in our senses of humor. And Shadygirl and I have spent a minimum of seven years in close proximity to Gmork on the East Coast, even though we never met. You're on target with Colorado though--Shadygirl and I grew up there together--we've known each other since the earliest days of grade school. Well, I was in grade school. She was too young still. Yup, I guess I was sort of robbing the cradle... We literally shared a back yard as kids. Our marriage is proof that arranged marriages work! We'll return to Colorado once I'm done being an international man of mystery and part time pastry chef. And twisted English professor. PS: for anyone who's kept up with that whole bag of guessing what it is I ACTUALLY do--I'll give you this nugget: I actually am a "credentialed" professor, even though I don't teach right now. Twowire, don't tell folks what I actually do. That's part of what makes me internationally mysterious... (Queue the mysterious music, and fade...)

Secrets....

On August 28th, 2008 (18:49 GMT) Gmork says:

International man of mystery, credentialed Professor, part time pastry chef, vein lover, part of the Gmorkian family...you're just spilling all the secrets!!!

I missed the vampire part

On August 29th, 2008 (15:43 GMT) sadock says:

I assume that's what you mean by vein lover. I'm trying to imagine JP all gothed out and it just isn't happening.

-- hit Podiobooks.com for undiluted crack by our FDO! --

Excellent...

On August 30th, 2008 (13:15 GMT) JP says:

You're off target with your assumption about veins--use the search tool and you'll see what that's about. That said, why do you assume I look like my avatar? (Or do you suspect that Gmork actually looks like a 1970's vintage toaster??? Grin.) Then again, my avatar might just be a pic of me. Who's to say... other than Shadygirl.

Ah, veins

On September 1st, 2008 (13:51 GMT) sadock says:

That's a new one for me. As is Mommy Bags. Guess you never know where these posts are going to go.....

Didn't expect the Julie Andrews thread to be that entertaining.

Which search tool?

On August 31st, 2008 (12:08 GMT) sadock says:

I used the find function in Firefox, but came up empty. Are you referring to something else? Possibly the cook angle?

-- hit Podiobooks.com for undiluted crack by our FDO! --

I know you're joking...

On August 31st, 2008 (13:25 GMT) JP says:

Since you must be making a joke...I'll joke right along with you: take a gander at the right side of this very web page. As you scroll down past the "Recent Flicker Pictures" you'll notice a discrete and unobtrusive little box that says "Search Site." It's amazing but true that this site has its own search tool much like many (most?) other well-developed and managed sites. Just type in the word "veins" and you should strike gold. (Or something else. Veins isn't actually a reference to gold...) And for the record, Gmork is definitely right--I'm a great fan of veins!

Actually, no, I was being serious

On September 1st, 2008 (13:32 GMT) sadock says:

Everyone's entitled to be an idiot at times. As you (or someone else) pointed out previously, we're all human. I have my 'moments' just like everyone else.

I do have to say, that is NOT where I look when I'm looking for a search tool. I expect it to be somewhere near the upper left. That's where they usually are......

I think JP is referring

I think JP is referring the site search feature on the right side of the page over there ------>

Toaster?!

On August 30th, 2008 (18:11 GMT) Gmork says:

Hey, I resemble that remark!

But...

On August 31st, 2008 (13:00 GMT) JP says:

what a damn fine toaster, you are. Very shiny. You should hold your four-slice-capable lever high.

Un-toasty Gmork

On August 31st, 2008 (15:06 GMT) Gmork says:

<---- Look at me now, bitches

Um, sorry to ruin your fun, but....

On September 1st, 2008 (13:46 GMT) sadock says:

you still look pretty toasty to me. Rather well done as it were. Did you set the knob on the Cylon too high? No wonder they got replaced with CGI.....

-- hit Podiobooks.com for undiluted crack by our FDO! --

Damn changed your avatar!

On August 31st, 2008 (16:57 GMT) Twowire says:

I was gonna say if I had a toaster like that I would just stay home and play with it all day!

That made the beer come outta my nose.

Heeeeey,

On September 1st, 2008 (06:34 GMT) JP says:

This one is golden, toasty brown. Perhaps even buttery!

- "I don't have time for a grudge match with every poser in a parka." -Dr. Horrible

Exactly!

On September 1st, 2008 (08:49 GMT) Gmork says:

Medium dark toast slathered with butter....baby!

And you wonder why our minds go there.....

On September 1st, 2008 (13:41 GMT) sadock says:

Reserve the butter slathering for playing with your hubbie!

Persistant Sadock has figured out both gender and matrial status...very good young Padawan. Now if you were really resourceful you could have the rest of the story via popular social networking sites, not to be named.

Perhaps you could seek employment along those lines?

Why yes,

On August 31st, 2008 (01:49 GMT) Shadygirl says:

yes you do!

that term is going to haunt me for the remainder of my life on this site.

The ghost of Mommybags

On September 1st, 2008 (13:51 GMT) sadock says:

Wonder if the FDO could write a Bloodcast piece on that one. Don't think he's done a true ghost story, has he?

-- hit Podiobooks.com for undiluted crack by our FDO! --

JP, is being haunted by Mommybags such a bad thing? ;)

On August 31st, 2008 (20:17 GMT) Twowire says:

Damn right it is!!

On August 31st, 2008 (14:37 GMT) Gmork says:

But hold your head high ... it's a fine term that has brought many giggles and childish smirks in my household. And hey, you could be known on the site for worse things, that's for sure.

Haunted by mommy bags themselves...

On September 1st, 2008 (06:17 GMT) JP says:

isn't really a problem. It's actually some sort of gift! But being haunted by the term... Then again Gmork, you're definitely right--I could be known for worse. Much worse. I mean in theory of course. (Hey n8, how's Martha these days?)

And I'm not telling!

lol

On August 29th, 2008 (15:02 GMT) Gmork says:

Wanna know?

On August 30th, 2008 (13:59 GMT) JP says:

I'll tell ya! But not over the forums. (After all, if anyone should know, it's the toaster I've been separated from birth from.)

- "I don't have time for a grudge match with every poser in a parka." -Dr. Horrible

Dude, you definitely sound like you're whining.

On August 27th, 2008 (12:46 GMT) JP says:

If you weren't you would have just done what Twowire did, rather than make the statement that it looks like the Friend Finder or Frapper isn't going to happen. (Sounds like blame. That's why you had to qualify your statement...)

- "I don't have time for a grudge match with every poser in a parka." -Dr. Horrible

Hmmm. You're probably right.

On August 28th, 2008 (09:42 GMT) sadock says:

I hadn't intended it that way, but there probably is some latent passive aggression going on there. Thanks for pointing it out. All I'd intended was to continue the local thing cross country if others saw the posts by TwoWire and I. Tact is *so* not my thing.

Do I sound like I'm whining?

I just figure that Pulsar is a busy man so I'd see what I could accomplish on my own. Never hurts to try ;)

-- hit Podiobooks.com for undiluted crack by our FDO! --

Yep!

On August 27th, 2008 (12:55 GMT) Twowire says:

Not to the whining though, well maybe alittle. :) I created a thread also looking for Junkies in the States surrounding Oklahoma. Hoping to maybe find a city that is central to us we could vote on for a book tour stop.
