| More tweaks... |
| 2004-03-17 |
| I've made more tweaks to the Poop List. Boris and Eleano (they're two different people) can't seem to comprehend the idea that Rantburg isn't their property. Nor can they comprehend the idea that they're not welcome. I can no doubt discuss that at my treason trial. Let me know if I keep out somebody who should be posting. |

| #37 Baltimore's not to far from carolina, yeah, I could pull that op off. |

| #36 I selfishly suggest Hussongs in Ensenada, Mexico. Stay here in San Diego (you already know about the weather), and if we get too drunk or broke, we can try and sneak back across the border for grins and giggles |

| #35 You guys figure out where you want to set up, preferably in a heavily guarded stockade. Then I will make a flight plan and bring myself down in Rantburg One. |

| #34 Geez, somehow I prefer to think of you all as folks who have to stay anonymous and in hiding for important security reasons... AMDAY!!! Hey, Old Spook, he may be onto something. I'd better dig out 59-50 and take a look. Wouldn't want to give the guv'mint any unnecessary ideas... 8^) |

| #33 Hmmm, it's only about 15 hours from Chicago to Baltimore. I'll be driving the turnpikes. Anyone need a lift? |

| #32 OK, Doc, we'll talk more later... Someone, you may be onto something, however, particularly the hiding for security reasons. |

| #31 Geez, somehow I prefer to think of you all as folks who have to stay anonymous and in hiding for important security reasons... But Balmer's not too far from NYC. |

| #30 Lil Dhimmi and Jen - if we're going to Baltimore slow down in Ohio and I'll jump in. The highways through here should be a bit safer now. |

| #29 Vegas is easier for me out here in the West. Baltimore is a bit too close to a government facility around Laurel MD. [grin] |

| #28 The Horse You Rode in On? Wasn't that the joint the cops on "Homicide" owned? I know I saw it on one of the episodes. It's not a name you'd forget. |

| #27 Baltimore! I was born there, haven't been back in too many years. Count me in - I'll drive up from Richmond and probably bring a like-minded friend. Never went to that bar (I was too young when we left) but it sounds like a hoot. |

| #26 Show up? Hell I'm expecting TGA to underwrite the bar bill (Cherman Gravy you see :). Wheelus is the natural. |

| #25 With the US$ so low versus the Euro, can we expect some European friends to show up? |

| #24 Baltimore would be feasible; I'm in Philly. |

| #23 Here's a link for The Horse You Rode In On. Fred and I have been chatting very informally about this; how 'bout all you East Coast Rantburgers drop me a line and we'll see if we can work something up. Posters, commenters, and lurkers welcome! (I know there's lurkers, I see 213 people online even as I type!) seafarious@yahoo.com |

| #22 I'd have to drive up from Texas as well. It's been a while since I've been on the east. |
| Posted by: Lil Dhimmi 2004-3-17 4:08:19 PM |
| #21 I, too, will be driving but I'd drive a long time from Texas to meet up with this distinguished company! ;-) |
| Posted by: Jen 2004-3-17 4:05:47 PM |
| #20 Seafarious suggested Baltimore, a beer joint called The Horse You Rode in On. We've been talking about it since December. I'll work on the tee-shirts. |

| #19 Berkeley. We must have the Rantburg convention in Berkeley. |
| Posted by: Secret Master 2004-3-17 3:33:23 PM |
| #18 The ONLY proper place for a Rantburg convention is Wheelus :-) |
| Posted by: Steve White 2004-3-17 3:16:05 PM |
| #17 We can't have the convention until we agree on a t-shirt design! I want my damn t-shirt! |

| #15 Two comments: OKC I can make (12-hour drive - I, too, don't fly - noise problems). Second, the Colorado Mountain Division of the North American Militia is available to support you against your "treason" charges. (Recruits welcome - but the training regimen is tough. You HAVE to climb at least one 14er - using your own legs.) |

| #14 St. George Island FL... got a new bridge and the whitting can be caught in the surf by anyone. (even me). |
| Posted by: Shipman 2004-3-17 2:30:02 PM |
| #13 Vegas,I could drive there. |
| Posted by: Raptor 2004-3-17 2:24:01 PM |
| #12 It's a great idea! I'm in California but I'll fly out to join the rest of you guys NP! |

| #11 A "Rantburg Convention" would be a hoot. Go for it. |
| Posted by: Dave D. 2004-3-17 12:42:45 PM |
| #10 The only people on the poop list are Eleano, Boris and Stevey. It's not like I'm banning people left and right... |
| Posted by: Fred 2004-3-17 12:41:19 PM |
| #9 Fred is the S. List a Ranburg public document? |
| Posted by: Shipman 2004-3-17 12:34:40 PM |
| #8 Fred, is the Boris that just posted on the Natasha and Borispost, the one that you are trying to ban? |

| #7 I go for OK City myself. I'm in the DFW area! While I haven't posted, yet, I am good for the odd pithy comment now and then! 8-) -AR |

| #6 I'm down for it myself. And there is nowhere to fly or stay cheaper than Oklahoma City, where I live. |
| Posted by: badanov 2004-3-17 11:42:29 AM |
| #5 I'd prefer east of the Mississippi to elsewhere (don't fly, drive) but put me down as interested, too. |
| Posted by: Old Grouch 2004-3-17 11:24:31 AM |
| #4 Yeah - I was thinking we could have it somewhere where plane tickets are cheap from just about anywhere (ie Vegas or Daytona). |

| #3 Sam: Lovely idea, especially if the supply of adult beverages and seafood is abundant. We could call it the "Rantburg Chamber of Commerce" or some such. |
| Posted by: Mike 2004-3-17 11:02:19 AM |
| #2 Hey Fred - what do you think about a "Rantburg Convention"? Guest speakers like you, Old Spook and some of the more prominent posters. Just an idea... |
| Posted by: Yosemite Sam 2004-3-17 10:53:17 AM |
| #1 Part of the new "Tweaks for Twerps" policy, eh, Fred? |
