It didn't need renovations.

It must have needed something, because I never saw you at one of the air hockey or ping pong tables... but mebbe that was just your garden variety fear...

That sound you hear - it's a pleather glove dropping (fresh out of gauntlets)...

Renovation = Gentrification

(I think they're doing a nice job. The place will have a new bar, lounge,restaurant and a couple bowling alleys along with the regular pool, ping pong and air hockey.)

*snicker*

I don't think I need to prove my airhockey prowess to anyone on this board. I think Carnivore's knuckle transplant operation came out successfully, though.

Funny, but I seem to recall beating you soundly the last time we played... :roll:

Fair enough. Any time you wanna throw down the plastic diskette, I'm ready to roll.

We should have a tournament before Brownstone becomes a Trader Joe's.

That does sound like fun, but if we ever did get enough people together, I'd rather that we get the details of the pentathlon figgered out...

... but that's probably moot since we suck at organizing.

Or do we suck with follow-through?

Or maybe it's that we are seriously lacking in decisiveness... but I'm not 100% sure about that.

Sorry to continue the hijacking of the thread, but I'd be happy to give some air hockey lessons to any who are interested. Actually I suck, but I'm pretty solid at ping pong. We need a Brownstone night.

Agreed. When? Darts at the last Mooney's night was good times, too.

Agreed. When?

Why put off till next week what you can do this week? Wed? Thurs?

Neither is better for me than the other - who else is interested?

This week sucks for me. Classes start tomorrow and so I have to keep myself relatively sober.

That never stopped you before!

But I understand that you don't want to be shown up again.

Coward!!!! :evil:

I know it's in PS but have you guys considered the Wreck Room nights at Southpaw? There's darts, pool, ping pong, poker, etc. It's generally on Sun and Tue if there's no show that night.

Gentlemen, save the trash-talk for air hockey night. Nothing heats up air hocky like trash talk. Set a date and place and work up a Noel Coward game face.

Can't a man turn over a new leaf?

Next week, wednesday or thursday night.

I should be able. Hell, I'll have home 'hood advantage.

Say, do they have Traxx Hockey there? You know, with the actual figurines and the the dome and stuff? I'm not qualified to talk trash in anything but that...

Is everyone welcome to play?

Of course! You'll recognize some of us, Carnivore will be the one weeping silently in the corner with his "participant" consolation certificate.

poker? as long as it's not no-limit, I'll clean that shit up. (yes, I'm lousy at no-limit. large numbers intimidate me)

Haven't been there in months, I'm curious to see the reno. Does anyone know if the place changed hands?

I'm good for this thursday or next I believe

Poker? I don't even know her!


BAM!

I'm going to come in, yell, "all of you are RACISTS", spit, release an unleashed dog who'll poop in a high traffic area, then storm out.

I kid. Name the date and time and I'm there.

That's it. You're never borrowing my ice scraper.

Next wednesday or thursday was my suggestion.

Actually, I don't know if it's house rules or if your table decides what to play.

5 card stud! 5 card stud!

OK. Thursday 2/8.
7pm until pensodyssey gives up his futile and pathetic attempts to defeat me.
