The Octagon Bar: Octagoner Bobbleheads - Collect Them All

Why do I get so freaked out when I have voice mails from people I don't know? If I don't recognize the number in my missed calls list, I automatically assume it's bad news.

I just had one and it turned out to be a sales call.

Demmy!

How are you? Enjoying the last days of school?

Pax, I think it's a very natural reaction, 'cause I have a tendency to do the same!

LB called me once, and I was like: "Who is this?!" when I listened to the message, and just erased it at once 'cause I thought it was some strange people calling the wrong number A few days after he asked if I got his message -

"Oh... It was you..."

I wish Ewen was online today. He has a lot of stuff to do, though--can't be hanging out in the Bar all day, I guess.

 

[Merc]

Well, I'm going out to make some dinner now!

Later!

 

[U2democrat]

bye merc!

 

[pax]

I'm hungry, but I have no motivation to get up, go home, and make lunch.

How sad is that?

Ewen

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I'm back.


Lunch was yummy. Mexican food.

Now it's back to work and the long haul until 5.

I MUST eat dinner tonight...I'm supposed to meet up with one of my friends at the (real) bar in the evening, and while I will probably have my one Sam Adams Cherry Wheat and call it a night, I prefer to have the beer met by something when it hits my stomach.

Hi Cookie. How's it going today?


*rests head on bar for a quick nap*

 

[mikal]

well, i'm adjusting to a new work schedule. i recently recieved a pretty nice promotion, but unfortunately, being the young buck in my new position, i have to work the late shift. so it feels like 8:00 am right now, lol.


how you doin?

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I'm pretty good, thanks.

 

[mikal]

good! it's time to think about lunch people.

 

[ewen]

Ewen

you have mail...and later on you'll have more.

thanks. i really think i am going to have problems with ticketmaster regarding those MSG tickets. looks like they will only accept collection at the venue from the credit card holder for international sales. there's no way i'm going to be able to afford another trip to the US so soon so it looks like U2 and co have made money on me without anything in return. i'm sorry, don't make plans for MSG in October. their paranoia at losing money to scalpers has resulted in a few genuine ticket buyers being scalped by them....how feckin ironic. they could have made exceptions for people who bought tickets with their Propaganda pre-sale codes!!! How likely are we to be ticket scalpers!!

We'll sort something out...it's still a long way off. I wouldn't lose hope just yet.

I'm working on a piece of writing I'll be sending to you later...

Oh, wow, Ewen, this sucks.

I bought my plane ticket for NYC back in March, too.

Don't panic yet, April. There has to be a way around this.

Oh, I'm sure there is... If not, we'll have to figure something out, right?

You know something? There aren't enough synonyms for body parts (get your collective heads out of the gutter, I don't mean *those* parts...for which there are too many synonyms). Like, there's only one way to say "back" or "neck." Annoying.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

What, me, have my head in the gutter? NEVER!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Oh, you said, "collective". So why the hell did I feel the need to jump in and defend myself right away?

Hello everyone

*grabs beer from cooler*

*sits in comfy chair and reads*

[Diemen]

Hello all.

*Grabs lime, salt and a shot of Patron, plops down on couch in the corner*

 

[pax]

Let's all do some shots of Patron.

:: pours shots of Patron for everyone ::

Do I have to lick the salt off my own hand?

 

[Diemen]

Who said we were licking the salt off hands?
