UPDATE: TODAY IS THE DAY
WEATHER IS GOING TO BE PERFECT – 64 DEGREES & SUNNY
OK, let’s get this ball rolling … the sooner, the better, for planning.
DATE: OCTOBER 10, 2015 (2nd Saturday in October)
TIME: 1PM …. until the last train leaves the city
PLACE: BLARNEY ROCK PUB —– 137 West 33rd Street
web site — http://blarneyrockpub.com/index.asp
(Blarney’s is a stone’s throw from Penn Station / MSG. We can start there, we don’t need to stay there.)
FUNDS NEEDED: $10 a beer …… apply for your 2nd mortgage today.
IDENTIFICATION: Simple … wear a NAME TAG. Seriously. “Hi, my name is Stucky!” You can even make your own if you’re a cheap bastard.
You can even try to be funny.
I will probably also have a simple placard on the table “The Burning Platform”
NYC SURVIVAL TIPS
1) Do NOT ask for directions! This will mark you as a tourist … and potential mugging victim. Penn Station is on 33rd Street … just walk down the fucking block. No lollygagging … walk fast!
2) Do NOT look up at the skyscrapers. This screams “tourist”. Mugging victim opportunity #2.
3) Do NOT make eye contact. Do NOT give a friendly “Howdy, how ya doin’?” Do NOT ever say “Excuse me” if you bump into someone. In all these cases, no one gives a shit. Mugging victim opportunity #3.
4) If someone bumps into YOU … immediately check your wallet.
4A) If your wallet is stolen, and that’s all, consider yourself lucky. Do NOT seek out a copfuk. They don’t give a shit. You also have a 68.5% chance of being tazed.
5) Know when you can, and cannot, breathe. This might help.
I am going … no matter what. Hopefully at least one STM shows up by 2:30. But, I understand that last minute shit pops up. Hey, if no one shows up, I’ll have a couple beers, do some shopping (Ms Freud’s birthday is in Oct.), chat with a hooker, and call it a great outing.
See ya then!
I’ll be there, Stuck, wait for me.
If I can get Mr. HZK on board, I will be there…..
Reconsider?

The whole gang immediately recognized kokoda when he arrived.

Excellent. Looking into train tickets and hotel reservations this week.
I’ll buy drinks for anyone who stops on the way and is photographed giving the Italian salute in front of Hillary’s Brooklyn campaign headquarters or her office in Midtown Manhattan. My grandfather gave her husband Bill the same, in person, at Arlington National Cemetery when Clinton’s motorcade passed by his son’s grave. I was so excited when he told me the story that evening I told my entire class the next day as my presentation for show and tell.
Sounds like a lot of fun !
Kokoda is better looking than we had imagined. I’m not sure it would be a good idea to mix alcohol with a shitfest but after quite a few beers everybody will look better.
Tough Crowd !!!
Wish I could, but it is no simple afternoon trip from Denver. Have fun…write posts…get drunk…keep fist-fights to the a minimum (I’m not saying none).
I would love to come but not sure where I could park my truck and 53 foot trailer. FedEx is very particular about where I drop their trailers. I will see what they say.
Carry on my wayward sons…can’t make this one, but maybe if you venture further south next time, like the Baltimore Harbor, I’d drive up from the Old Dominion (it ain’t the shithole like the rest of the city).
Damn, I do not think I can make it. Sounds like great fun.
Can you switch venues to say Sydney or maybe Melbourne? Some great Irish pubs in Australia, you know.
I will carpool with the illustrious Admin.
Okay, I am in.
Now, for all you limp wristed, latte-sipping, NYT reading metrosexuals, get your asses to NYC. Most of youse guys are closer that I am.
Somebody go wake up howard in NY.
First round of drinks are on me at this Barney’s place.
I hope my limo driver can find it, lol. (just kidding, Mr. HZK is very tall and doesn’t fit in most vehicles).
I guess we will find out who is really swimming naked now that the tide seems permanently out.
If that isn’t a gauntlet being thrown, than I don’t know what is.
Deus Vult.
Well, now that Superwoman is in, you fucks don’t have to worry about muggers anymore.
Stucky, you cheap and lazy fuck. Why didn’t you pick some place that is worth visiting, such as Miami or Maui?
Stucky, I will have my wife drop me off and pick me up. You better be ready to drink your ass off.
Lemme know when you do a get together in LA or SD. Otherwise, hope you guys have a blast!

______________________
Howard in NY got sick of all the racist shit here. I can’t say that I blame him.
Why don’t you go wake him up if he is that important. And why do you go around Houston heavily armed everyday? Could it be because of negrow CRIME and NEGROW CRIMINALS. Some of us are sick and tired of negrows .
Would love to come. Not to be as anything North of the Florida line is a hostile country full of strange and terrible people and sights. Like (pardon the comparison Llpoh) Indian Country..
But do me a favor? All of you have a drink and toast old Muck.. I’d really like that.
MA
God! (not him – that’s an epithet) I love having my mind back!
MA
“Okay, I am in.” ——- HZK
Aren’t you coming from ……….. TEXAS??? WOW!!! I expected only local folk would do this. Way to go, Hope!!!! (cough, cough, ahem …. TE?)
Looks like we’ll have a nice little crowd. Damn! This is getting EXCITING!
Muck – it is all Indian country! Well, according to us Indians, anyway.
Glad to see you going strong.
“Lemme know when you do a get together in LA or SD.” ———– Westcoaster
That’s not a bad idea!!
We have lots of folks on the West Coast. Quite a few in the Chicago area. And, down South.
Wouldn’t it be interesting if ya’ll did the same thing …… on Oct 10th. A Nationwide TBP rally! Everyone takes pictures, and does a pictorial post two days later (allowing one day recovery from the hangover).
Just a thought ….
I don’t get it. Why go to such a shithole? Vegas would be much more appropriate and fun.
Since so many object to the city angle, if this one works out maybe next year we do a rural retreat in the mountains of NH. I know a farmer who might not object to hosting a TBP BBQ.
Just sayin’
Looks like you monkeys were busy while I was gone.
Avalon and I are in.
I’ll greet everyone outside the bar. You should be able to recognize me.

Vegas is a shithole.
Just the other day I was telling Mrs. Constman I need to get her to NYC. Only this October she might be in Harrisburg visiting my our daughter. Yes, our daughter has gone rogue and moved from CA to PA!! I know that’s not far from NYC, but I don’t think I can swing getting away this year. Rural NH in October sounds pretty cool too. I am in next year for sure if we make it to a “2nd” annual.
Admin – NYC is full of fat bald guys. Wear a rose so we know it is you.
I plan on making the trip maybe even bringing Mrs. Bostonbob.
Bob.
HS,
I’m in if you get a chance to host. Have always been looking for an excuse to see the N. Other than taking my wife to NIH in Bethesda, haven’t been east of Niagara Falls or north of Charleston, SC. Would absolutely love it.
efarmer
“Since so many object to the city angle, if this one works out maybe next year we do a rural retreat in the mountains of NH. I know a farmer who might not object to hosting a TBP BBQ.”
That would be awesome, I’m not a big city guy, heck I hate driving to and in Grand Rapids.
Not that any of you know me, so what does my opinion matter… Still I can’t help but say it: New York?! It’s a toss up of what’s worse ; New York, DC, or Los Angeles. The last time I went to New York, I flew in through thick smog, walked through nasty streets, had a slice of overpriced pizza, and the group I was with, which included many children, was accosted by a particularly sick individual. Much non-hilarity ensued. Everyone walked by without a care. Where I come from, such conduct is seen as grounds for a shot to the face. Just saying.
Stupid prick ran away after I confronted him…
Guys, why not Philly? At least it is part of America where I can legally carry.
NJ and NY are not part of my country as they do not uphold the Constitution.
Do it in Philly, and I am there!
Otherwise – enjoy your trip into a foreign land where freedom and liberty are not honored.
Really, enjoy yourselves. Hoist one for the slave!
Oh man, I want to go. I’ll have to see what my money situation is around that time.
That said, I will be in PA the next few days…Newcastle now, Harrisburg/Mechanichsburg Tues/Wed. Let me know if anyone will be around
Jeezus!
I picked NYC because it is a central location for folks north (Boston are), south (Baltimore / DC), and west (Philly / PA).
It’s also a FUN city.
Some of you are waaay off in your opinion of what it’s really like. Reading your comments, one would think it’s barely better than Kabul. You’re wrong.
And one or two of you are Just Plain Pussified!! “Oh, Noes!!! Goin’ to da city??? I might get mugged!!”. Pussies.
too fucking far away from Georgia , tho I will actually try to clear my itinerary tho the distance is a monster for me
Don’t get me wrong Stucky, New York seems a sensible enough choice given your reasoning, I just take every opportunity to trash talk the place.
Good gawd that idea shore did fizzle quick. Please tape the real live conversation (between all 3 of you) so we can revel in its supreme awkwardness.
Stucky
Something is going on here that is rare on the Internet. Congratulations.
I’m sure you’ll keep everybody riveted with your fissure count, BW. Your a regular Minnie Pearl.
Well if you insist on going to NYC. Make it easy for them and meet at the FBI building
FBI New York 26 Federal Plaza, 23rd Floor New York, NY 10278-0004
Please remember, it costs a lot of my hard earned tax dollars to chase you guys around with expensive government drones. So take it easy on my wallet and make it easy for the drones…
Good gawd people are we doin this er what? I’m gonna bring Billy Jr too cuz he’s a shit ton of fun at a party, until he starts humpin someone that ain’t agreeable, but we can let the lumbering oaf Stucky handle the leash fer the night. Who’s buying the greyhound tickets?
Shitballs uh mercy Stucky. I hate ter tell ya this but if you don’t get yer shit in order I don’t think I’m gonna be able ter schedule this in. Billy says he’s gonna git me a mammary injection and it might put me out fer uh month. We’re goin like triple D size. Gonna look great.
That’s over a mile from the Peninsula hotel, too far to walk.
I had hoped to be able to make it there, but with my son having his car totaled by a careless driver on his way back to school last weekend… not gonna do it. However, I just might send a bottle to Admin from our storage closet to share amongst the STMs, who are game. LOL… Is from 1995… a very good year.
Or, he might claim he never got it and he and Avalon can share it with some people they actually like. Maybe another jar of APIJ?
My flight from Anchorage gets in the day before.
