Always entertaining. 

Always good for some hearty laughter.

Sorry to have missed another intellectual gathering. And the Friday night zoom chat.  Next week!

JohnInCarolina

It was a raucous time last night.  Here's a summary of what we covered.  Some names have been removed to protect the guilty:

Ashish’s vacation plans

To Mask or Not to Mask

Large gatherings of stupid people

Bucky’s spawn

Black onion seeds - less is more

@caliking's cultural heritage and how @caliqueen only curses at him in Bengali

The Solo Stove

iFly indoor parachuting

Bush trimming jobs

The Shipping Company that Shall Not Be Named

Myrtle Beach

Gary’s jokes about sex and the forum

NY State Guidelines Around Sex during Covid

FerilizeMyEggs

The Unmasking of the Trolls

Biking in NC

Flying in the US right now

Poop Collection and Sample Submission

Have any of us matured since middle school? 

Dennis gets a chubby

Spence’s strange catheter fantasies

Sausage making vs sausage fights

Ordering online from HEB

BOGO Colonoscopies 

Who has had a haircut?

Condoms vs masks they both suck but they make you safer

Northwestern Football

Universities that are well endowed

Man down

Chocolate pots and panty droppers

Key Lime Pie 

The Cen-Tex Smoker

Dang- sorry I missed it. Was an early launch into LEO for me yesterday. Got out on the lake a little and by the time I got hime was in no shape to hold up my end of a conversation. Could have been entertaining for you guys though. Perhaps next week.

@The Cen-Tex Smoker Shoulda rolled in.  As long as a former Army dude shows up you will be light-years ahead since " man-down" is their trained fetal position.  
I would opt for the lake choice as well but this watering hole doesn't generally get rolling til at least 9 PM (EDT) and will go well into the next day as you well know.  
I am truly surprised that there aren't more who would at least belly up to the bar for one drink just to enjoy the entertainment.  But I'm old and have a lawn so I am likely big-time missing the mark.

My wife and I would like to meet some fellow eggheads also. Count us is in please

@JJensen- Scroll to page one of this thread for the Zoom link.  Then @JohnInCarolina will PM the password.  (He owns the watering hole but is very gracious with not putting any crowd control limits on the attendees although all are sensitive to social distancing...   ).  The generally understood start time for the doors to open is around 9 PM (EDT) with people floating in and out (or passed out) until the early hours of the following AM.  Discussions are free-flowing with only religion and politics off-limits.  It is good fun and as you can see above, the BGE and BBQ are infrequent topics but certainly will get their due if offered up.  Welcome aboard.  

JJensen

awesome! Can’t wait

Nice recap.  @JohnInCarolina

Belly flopping into the deep end with these clowns right off the bat, nice! Welcome aboard, but be prepared for some occasional shenanigans. This is a great forum with an outstanding group of people.

Bump.  Who's up for tomorrow?  Some topics for possible discussion:

1) How JIC and his group are ruining the forum
2) Bourbon
3) Is this the first wave or the second wave?
4) Rye

5. Florida.  Appendix or critical organ?

Absent an unseen audible, I plan to roll in around 9 PM (EDT). A few more offerings...
5) (insert terms) WBAGNFARB (nod to @Botch)
6) CBD products
7) N A internal combustion engines and the electric future

Always worth the price of admission if only for one cocktail at the virtual watering hole.  
(Edit:)  No politics or religion.

I think 7 could be pretty lively if we got the right people on.

Why can you keep politics and religion off this but not off the forum?

Frank is not an instigator of political or religious discussions here.  You’re picking on the wrong guy, as usual.

It was a question to the group not him. I know he doesnt run the call. Just seems weird you realize it can cause issues for your video chat but screw the forum. And im not sure how I was pocking on anyone by asking a question?

It's easy-with the virtual watering hole sessions you can't hide behind the internet.  The absence of religion and politics are pre-conditions to enjoy the camaraderie of the evening.  Additionally, the scope and breadth of topics keep things moving and don't lend themselves to preaching politics or religion. 
Also people accept that no one's opinion is gonna change so there's no sense wasting the time and oxygen just to hear one speak.  
The above is just my opinion and we all know about those.  FWIW-

I think LIT and JIC should come down to Vegas. I'm sure we can talk Dana White into letting us use his Apex facility for a cage match. We can then live stream it PPV style on the Friday night Zoom call. Proceeds go to the winner's charity of choice.

ColtsFan

@Lit Frank nailed it with his answer above. Keyboard Warriors aren't so warrior like when face-to-face, even virtually. It can be controlled and nipped in the bud easily via Zoom. It can't be policed as effectively in a thread.

And despite the recent events, I agree with you, it was just a question and a legitimate one at that.

The Cen-Tex Smoker

I should be there.

Can I bring my Insta-Pot?

Then maybe next time address it to the group?  

To be clear nobody really "runs" these things, either.  Sometimes Frank refers to me as the "chairman" but there are many times when I'm not even on.  It's a pretty free-flowing discussion.

  I wouldn't actually have any issue discussing politics or religion in these sessions.  But someone suggested we avoid them a long time ago and so we've stuck with that.

Did I say Frank? The whole thread is about the video call I assumed you could figure some things out on your own. Many on here have requested we keep religion and politics off the forum why is your video chat more important than the forum?

lkapigian

Would you guys keep the noise down, I can hear you all the way in the other threads 

lousubcap

I offered my response to what I figured was a question to the group but since I posted the disclaimer I thought I would offer one perspective.  
Regarding the forum and the video-those who choose to participate in the video chat have understood the guidelines since inception.  
BTW-why waste a good Friday evening with politics and religion when that is available for the remaining 160+ hours a week??  

fishlessman

since theres no flag button live, just hold up a flag if someone doesnt agree with you

dmchicago

Damn @Lit

You even suck at forum quitting!
