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!
wish everyone a great time, it will be an interesting mix, all these independent minded folks in the same room. i will enjoy a PBR in hopes of success so i may get to travel to NH and see how farming granite works.
IDENTIFICATION: Simple … wear a NAME TAG. Dopplers welcome
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I might even take a bath tonight and change my shorts.
Your hosts from previous visits to NYC:

I will be there in spirit only, unfortunately. Will start saving now for the get together at Farmer’s place next year.
You guys have fun.
10$ a beer? Holy shit you shitty slickers must make bank to be able to afford that!
I can get a growler for 12 around here….
Also, with the Mrs. only working part time I can’t pick up and fly to NYC to drink with old people, so I’ll have to take a rain check.
Have fun guys, I’m very jealous 🙂
Maybe Hope can live blog the entire shitfest on TBP. Avalon will take pictures of the first punches thrown.
Man I wish I could go. Maybe next time………. New Hampshire would be great place not too far for me.
Too far from Minneapolis.
Safe travels and good times for those that are going, looking forward to the stories from the event
Admin
A live blog is a must for us lame assessment who couldn’t be there.
Have fun. Maybe I can make to the next one.
33rd street eh? Illuminati confirmed.
Admin/Stuck –
Have you two ever actually met face-to-face?
Never met, but he did threaten to come to my house and beat me up.
Have a great time all who go.
NYC is just not within my motivation level, between distance and its general suckiness.
Do one in the midwest and I’ll be there. Do one at a farm in NH and I’ll think seriously about it, even though that’s even farther away for me.
Never met, but Admin ratted me out to the Chatham Copfuks.
My Day of Vengeance is fast approaching.
I cannot get away, wish that I could but I’m needed here.
I will absolutely host one here next year for anyone interested and I will throw one hell of a barbecue. Plenty of space if people don’t mind roughing it.
I’ll be there in spirit.
hardscrabble farmer
I’ll be there at your farm.
Try, if possible, to give folks a 2-4 month advance notice … so people from far&wide can plan ahead of time.
I’ll bring homemade cookies and pies.
Man, that’s going to be EPIC!
Stuck & Admin, meeting face-to-face for the first time ever!! I’ll bet there will be hugs & tears shed!
Avalon should film the greeting. That shit will be classic.
I won’t be able to make. Will have to arrange a meet up for the South sometime. There’s no way I’m pay $10 for a beer lol.
For crissakes, Stucky looks like Tom Selleck who went on a six month bender. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen him on screen for eons. Are you Tom Selleck?
Good luck tomorrow TBPers. I’d bring a switchblade if I were you.
If HSF hosts a party at his farm, I just might emerge from my bunker to attend.
wish I could come actually ! here in Georgia too far away and I carry a firearm most places I go , , will not go where I cannot. if you ever want to do a Georgia visit , I got 18 acres , and down this way southern hospitality is in effect , beer and eats go with the offer . Zero chance of statist police harassment lol . $10 a beer ? you gotta be shitting me lol .
I’d go but my mama didn’t raise no fool, I’ve pissed off too many people.
I wish I could be there. Why this has to be in NY is beyond me. Sadly, I’m on a business trip.
1 ‘Twas the night before the Shitfest, when all thro’ the town,
2 Not a shit-flinging monkey was stirring, not even an assclown;
3 The barf bags were hung by the barkeep with care,
4 In hopes that the monkeys soon would be there;
5 The monkeys were nestled all snug in their beds,
6 While visions of beer kegs danc’d in their heads,
7 Mrs Freud in her ‘kerchief, and Stuck in his cap,
8 Had just settled their noggins for a short little nap-
9 When outside their hotel there arose such a clatter,
10 Nick sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
11 Away to the window he flew like the flash,
12 Tore open the shutters, and threw up the sash.
13 The moon on the breast of the sleeping skid row,
14 Gave the lustre of mid-day to trashbags below;
15 When, to Stuck’s wondering eyes should appear,
16 A raucous Admin, and eight drunken monkeys,
17 With a little old auto, so lively and quick,
18 He knew in a moment it must be a trick.
19 More rapid than taxes the shitflingers came,
20 And he whistled, and shouted, and call’d them by name:
21 “Now! LLPOH, now! SSS, now! Boston, and Billy,
22 “On! Clammy, on! bb, on! TE and Iska;
23 “To the top of the bar! to the top of the wall!
24 “Now drink away! drink away! drink away all!”
25 As dry leaves before the rain cry,
26 When they meet with some moisture, turn up to the sky;
27 So up to the house-top the monkeys they flew,
28 With their bellies full of brew – and Old Nicholas too:
29 And then in a twinkling, he heard on the roof
30 The dancing and falling of each little goof.
31 As he drew in his head, and was turning around,
32 Down the staircase Admin came with a bound:
33 He was dress’d all in fur, from his head to his foot,
34 And his clothes were all tarnish’d with ashes and soot;
35 A barrel of liquor was flung on his back,
36 And he look’d like a peddler just opening his pack:
37 His eyes – how they twinkled! his dimples how merry,
38 His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry;
39 His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
40 And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;
41 The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
42 And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
43 He had a broad face, and a little round belly
44 That shook when he laugh’d, like a bowl full of jelly:
45 He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
46 Nick laugh’d when he saw him in spite of himself;
47 A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
48 Soon gave Nick to know he had nothing to dread.
49 He spoke not a word, but went straight to his brew,
50 And fill’d all the beer steins; then turn’d with a jerk,
51 And laying his finger aside of his nose
52 And giving a snot, up the stairwell he rose.
53 He sprung to his Prius, to his team gave a whistle,
54 And away they all flew, like the down of a thistle:
55 But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight-
56 Happy Shitfest to all, and to all a good fight.

That was brilliant. Nothing like a good laugh on the morning of the first annual TBP shitfest.
Those songs are because I love you guys. Have fun.
Take lots of pictures..Sorry I’m so close & can’t be there…Mike in Ct
Yes, indeed, Admin is correct …….. NICELY done, El Coyote.
Looks like it’s gonna be a PERFECT day ……. except for you fuckin’ pussies who live close by but can’t make it. 🙂
I hope you have had the bar swept for bugs…….
Have a great time
Traffic has ben a bitch coming out of our part of the world. Not sure we will make it. If we do – anyone know where we can park this rig nearby?

Over 2000 TBP lurkers have shown up at Blarney Rock Pub along with the CIA, FBI, TSA, HLS, DOJ, EPA, and many others including several Presidential candidates. The line goes all the way to Penn Station and then some. It looks like HZK’s bar tab @ $10.00 for a beer will be over $20,000.
Updates will be coming in on a hourly basis until there is nothing left to report or HZK runs out of money!
Wait………….This was TODAY?
Nah, hope you all had a great time.
Francis, what kind of mileage you get on that set of wheels? Top speed? Looks like a good commuter.
Card, it’s 5:30 over here. Even if it is 8:30 over there, I believe the guys can still go for another hour and a half before there bedtime.
The question is; how long will it take for them to sober up and get bailed out?
I know you all are having a hell of a time right now. I wish I was there, but not-can-do.
Ok outing attendees, I have two questions: 1) Billy’s black isn’t he? B) did Stucky bring Dark and Lovely?
I hope you all had a great time Wish I could have been there but got orders to head towards Chicago then Seattle.
Have a nice trip, bb. Do you watch tv on the road? I know a lot of drivers rent videos.
Fuck it I’m going to bed bed.
Maybe next year at HSF’s?
Long ago I went to SF for a bar crawl with a bunch of online writers. We had a blast, even if the winery rep’s car was going too fast up Coit Tower after a few rounds. It was great fun; I took Amtrak up from Bakersfield ( barely made it, it broke down on the way) and spent a couple of days in a medium-hotel, swapping lies and making new friends. Apple was doing something across town, but we were too busy drinking to attend.
Have a great time, and let me know which bail bondsman you’re using so I can send my fifty. Cheers!
Coyote,
It’s a second hand unit and has always had a bit of a funny smell…. sorta like dog shit ya know? Not sure why… can’t seem to wash it out.
Mileage is pretty good though – about 8 bowls of kibble per 10 miles – got about 8 dog power and runs fairly smooth as long as its fuelled properly.
Didn’t make it for drinks unfortunately. We hit a caribou north of Hundred Mile House and the whole unit shut down; mechanic says its overfeeding and won’t move again until tomorrow morning. That smell is back too…. getting worse if you ask me….
bunch of ol’ tards cant even post on the fly…..
dilli, My approach would be to leave the door unlocked and go to bed. My buddy Dallas said he sat in the dark and when the kid came home, Dallas cocked the gun. The kid always called ahead before coming home after that.
VERY quick update.
11:45PM and I just got home …. walked home the 2 miles from the train station. I’m exhausted.
Who showed up? Admin & Avalon, Mike in PA & wife, HZK & Mr. HZK, me.
Started drinking at half past noon until 10PM …. although I did nurse 3 beers and a glass of wine. Avalon drinks like a fish. 🙂 Admin is …well, my kind of guy. The 10 hours went by way too fast.
HZK was EXTREMELY generous. I won’t embarrass her … just note which word I capitalized. Mr. HZK is every bit as big as me … and he looks likes Hulk Hogan … and he’s a real hoot. Wonderful people.
I have NO IDEA how Mike got such a good looking wife. lol It was awesome meeting them.
I had a great great time.
Avalon took pics, and I believe Admin (who will be staying there tomorrow) will make a short post about the trip on Monday.
I’m pooped .. and Ms Freud wants to hear about the trip. So, I gotta run.
g’night mates
PS We saw really huge naked titties painted with the American flag in Times Square. Admin was standing at attention. heh heh
Francis, son-in-law has two Huskies. One of them ran off one day because Huskies were born to run.
Kid almost died, paid a $500 ransom to a neighbor down the street. I say ransom because who the fuck accepts $500 finders reward for a lost dog?
I recall the time a young couple lost a miniature Collie, I forget what they are called. They offered a $15,000 reward. I don’t recall if they ever found him. Let’s say they did. That’s something, huh?
I was telling my daughter today – remember when your car got stolen and you came in saying, “my car is missing” and I immediately got a stomach ache because I thought you said, ‘my cat is missing’ but I was relieved when you said it was the car.
Stucky says: blah blah blah…really huge naked titties painted with the American flag in Times Square…blah blah blah…
“Avalon drinks like a fish.”
—-Stucky
TMI, sport. Anyway, glad everyone had a good time. Looking forward to Avalon’s photos of the get-together.
Glad you guys had a great time. I look forward to seeing some pictures.
El Coyote , I do want movies .Read the internet. Wrestle little bb.He can be a tough little cat.Time goes quickly when you’re on the road but I have gotten to see the country.
