^I'll take whatever he is having.

I'm stoked you referenced fight club since it's my all time favorite movie. I'm glad you enjoyed the meet and maybe I'll meet you next month since I had to miss out on this one.

In the world I see, you are stalking elk in the forest of the ruins of The Rockefeller Center. You are wearing leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the thick vines that strangle the Sears Tower, and you'll look down and see small figures pounding corn and laying strips of venison out on the car pool lane of some forgotten superhighway.

EDITOR'S NOTE: It is by far one of my favorites, too! I'll see you soon!

you should be a writer (you might already be for all I know) I have never in all my forum days met a person who I would rather read their post

You rock, Tim. Glad you could catch the meeting and meet some of the folks. Yeah, we have a lot of real um... "characters."

Can't make too many guarantees for every meeting, but will guarantee a good time, every time.



And for the record, if you fancy yourself a ninja, there is no such thing as pirate Tuesdays.

(I'm a little disappointed I had to explain that to you. It's like being a pie person and expounding on your love of cake. sheesh.)

You have just given me an idea for my photoshop assignment! I owe you a beer or two.

It would also be an injustice not to mention the auction itself. At first, I thought the man approaching the mic might be another guest speaker, this time from MTVs hottest new show, fresh from the beach house and ready to show us the proper way to shotgun a beer. I was mistaken - it turns out he was the auctioneer!

He was a wonderful archetypal northeastern Italian. Every word he spoke was a trip down memory lane, bringing the welcome taste of my New York Italian mothers Sunday Sauce to my palette. My childhood was filled with a dozen friendly uncles and cousins just like him. It was also quite surreal to hear the Latin names for various fish perfectly spoken but savagely butchered by a Jersey accent so thick I hallucinated scenes from the Sopranos every time he said the word pseudotropheus. It was also the longest time I have ever heard someone from New Jersey speak without using a single F-word.

All jokes aside, he really worked the room, and was an excellent auctioneer. I am glad the CCA has broken the stereotyped Guy-Wearing-A-Cowboy-Hat-And-Babbling-Prices-With-A-Texas-Twang mold for auctioneers.

Sunday Morning Sauce...now YOU have MY ears!

Funny but if I was doing an auction in Northern Jersey I could make reference to the plants differently. Mentioning the plants as if they could be dried or thrown in the freezer for a later date like Parsley, Oregano or Basil would get hearty belly-laughs by some crowd.

If you like free beer I have an auction just for you...

I will have to hijack Tim and bring him to the auction. I need a designated driver this time.

Chris, he only had a little taste of me...LOL.
Imagine putting him in a room with over 600 items up for auction, and then listening to me on and off for hours being the Ringmaster to bidding wars that sometimes can go over $100. :wacko:

Now I see why almost everyone there drinks.:eek:

Don't thank me, thank Chuck Palahniuk. That's a [paraphrased] line from Fight Club. Don't ask me how to pronounce his last name out loud, either; though I have read almost all of his books, I have no idea how the author says his name. Just like all the fish in my tank, the names are too complicated. I am just calling all of them "Chuck".

Inquiring Visitor: What kind of fish are the bluish-black ones?

Me: The ones with the white trim on their dorsals and tails? Those are Chucks.

Worry not, Tony-San. I, too, have unlocked the secrets of Real Ultimate Power:

http://www.realultimatepower.net/

The ninjas and pirates have ceased fighting and formed a shaky, temporary alliance against a common threat - the zombies. Didn't you get the newsletter? Don't shed a drop of blood of our pirate brothers! Without them, we cannot defeat the undead!

Also:

PIE RULZ! DOWN WITH CAKE!

Beer and fish information won't mix well in me. As mentioned above, I already have trouble retaining the names of even fish I own. Adding beer to the equation will make it even more difficult, and I'll ignorantly confuse the names of beer with the names of cichlids.

FROM MY FRONT ROW CHAIR IN THE AUCTION HALL:

"I bid $5.00 on the breeding pair of Pelvicachromis Pilsner!"

 "$10.00 on the TilapiaPabst Blue Ribbon!"

"20 Bucks here to take home that F1 Red Stripe Empress!"

"I raise the bid to $15 on the colony of Melanochromis Dos Equis!"''
