| Scubapalooza tomorrow! | |
| 2005-07-08 | |
| As we dry out from the aftermath of Tropical Storm Cindy and after we take the Rantburg server out of the sandbags, please join Fred, Dan Darling, Steve White, and Seafarious for festivities and frivolity tomorrow, Saturday, July 9 from 3 p.m. until we're not having fun any more. We had a great time at Fadó in January but they are televising a England/Ireland rugby match with a large rowdy crowd and a $10 cover. As we'd rather spend our money on beer and vittles, we are moving right next door to the brew pub RFD. R.F.D. Chinatown 810 7th St. NW Washington, DC 202-289-2030 It is Metro accessible at Chinatown/Gallery Place/Arena station on the Red/Yellow/Green lines. Exit at 7th & H. Cheers!

| #22 Cap'n got my good side, right? I invited him and the First Mate to the Palooza, but they had "other plans." Thanks for some great toasts. We will toast them all! I'm thirsty already... |

| #21 Hey, Sea - thanks to Capt'n Ed, I now know what you look like even though I can't be there tomorrow. :-D Y'all have fun now! |

| #19 How about Sanity to the Foe! (So they would stop with all this vicious nonsense) Or else the old classic, Confusion to the Enemy. Sorry, I'm not very good at this, and the previous suggestions left very little unsaid. ;-) Wish I could be there, but I'll raise another diet Coke (mmmm,caffeine) with a hearty l'chaim!in concert with Barbara. |

| #16 3:20's past my cutoff for adult beverages, since I go on duty at 6, but I'll raise a Diet Coke "with" y'all. Toast: L'Chiam! :-D |

| #15 Sea, you guys and gals all have fun. Wish I could join you, but it's too far to walk, and I have no change to take a plane. Next time, we need to plan one of these in a couple of dozen cities, hooked together by WiFi! All the Coloradans can meet either in Denver or Co. Springs. I propose a local meet-up the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Any suggestions? |

| #13 Naw.... I prefer dropping frozen fish from Rodneys Fishateria. I call my concept Cods from Rods and I await funding and perditiion. |

| #12 .com, eLarson -- The bacon should be raw when dropped. That way, it will be perfectly cooked after reentry. Mmmm . . . bacon. |

| #11 eLarson - Would that be like pork sausage Rods from God? I'm thinking that one ton won't quite do it, but then I guess it depends on how much doesn't burn up in re-entery and the remainder's velocity at impact. |

| #10 Forget it, Fred - it's Chinatown... |

| #9 Oh Gawd Seafarious - that's the match we're likely to get hammered in. The All-Blacks are an awesome rugby machine, and we've taken some injuries over the tour, so we're not going to be 100%. We'll take the fight to them though! :) Y'all have a good time y'hear - I particularly like eLarson's toast! |

| #8 May 1 ton of bacon fall upon Mecca. |

| #7 Sea, how about a toast to all who came before us, creating and preserving the liberties we now enjoy - and must protect for our future and those of generations to come. |

| #6 Tony: The listing just says Third Test-British and Irish Lions v New Zealand. Dunno if that helps. Tibor: sorry you can't make it. But that list deserves a toast all by itself! Everyone: keep the toasts coming. |

| #5 Tibor - w00t! Wowsers! Hell, I think I'll have a beer (my 2nd this year!) just for that post! |

| #4 If you plan on getting all of those toasts in, you had better start at noon, and bring along a spare liver! My own suggestion (actually, something I read in a book about the Revolution): Here's to eternal itching, without the benefit of scratching, to our enemies. |

| #3 What match is that Seafarious? Virtually all the English and Irish teams are out in New Zealand playing under the British and Irish Lions banner against the All Blacks (which I don't think we're going to win unfortunately!) Never mind, you guys have a great time - 3 p.m. start? could be a looong night! |

| #2 Sorry I can't join you lads. Maybe next time. A few suggestion for toasts: W, Blair and Howard for starters. The US and Coalition forces. Fabrizio Quattrocchi. Danny Pearl. Mike Kelly. Fr. Judge. Johnny Spann. The SEALs and the Nightstalkers. Condi. Rudy. Rummy. Orianna Falaci. Ledeen. Allawi and Jafari. Iraqi bloggers. Chalabi. Jack Idema. Karzai. Wretchard. The entire RB community. The good folks at WoC. Londoners. Aznar. Instapundit. The American people for doing the right thing in November. Blackfive. Michael Yon. Pat Tillman. Lance Armstrong. Dennis Miller and Ron Silver. Theo Van Gogh. Hitch. Denzel Washington and Gary Sinise (for supporting the troops). Massoud. Fox News. Hugh Hewitt. John Batchelor. Fred, Dan, the entire Army of Steve, et al. OldSpook. Tim Blair. NRO. Austin Bay. Jim Dunnigan. Col. David Hunt. Gen. Paul Vallely (and his late son). The USMC in Fallujah. The Kurds. SFC Paul Smith. Adm. Stockdale. Hack. The Hellfire-armed Predator. Greyhawk and all of the Milbloggers. All of the wives of the servicemen. The FDNY and NYPD. My friend Sean Fegan (killed on 9/11). Paul Wolfowitz. The IDF. The Powerline guys. Lucianne. Phil Carter. The Diplomad (come back, please). The SF operators who will eventually disembowel Binny, hog-tie Zawahiri, lop off Zarqawi's head, pluck out Mullah Omar's other eye, shoot Hek in the neck, make Saad sad, send Adel to Hell, throw Baby Assad out with the bathwater, and flush Hamas, AQ, JI, LeT, LeJ, MILF, Abu Sayyef, EIJ, PIJ, Fatah, Ansar Islam, Ansar al-Sunna, the Sadr-mites, the Pasdaran, Revolutionary Guards, and various other Islamofascist fuckwits down the toilet-Hezbollah. Finally, the 1900+ who have given their lives (plus the 3000 whose lives were taken). God bless and have fun! |
