ZUG15: it has (almost) begun A comedy conversation

So many of us Thursday arrivers are on the road, about to leave, on a plane, etc. I fully expect consequences to never be the same.
For you shmucks who aren't going, there will probably be plenty of facebook, twitter, and text updates. For instance, our very own Spicey is live blogging their drive in to town. You can follow him on twitter @neomiasma, or if you're facebook friends with him you can read their shenanigans there.
We're all going to have fun without you guys! Kisses!
Ditdah is in the air, I've got her flight tracking in real-time so I know where to aim the heat seeking missle I have an idea of when she's arriving. There's a chance she'll miss her connecting flight but hopefully not.
Those of you who have never witnessed a Zug gathering from the board, be warned that you will be sick of it within ten minutes if you aren't already. The weekend will be non-stop chatter about it and there will be months of talk afterwards what with the lawsuits, marriages, STDs, and babies that will follow.
It might be different this time around, last time we didn't have the twitters or facebooks so posting here was really the only way to chat about what was going on.
Spicey hasn't been using any fancy hash tag. We're at a rest stop right now though, so we are switching drivers. This means I'll be updating his twitter feed and I can start adding the tag. The earlier stuff won't be findable under that, but that's okay because I see that tehHaggis posted about me taking my top off while driving.
So far the music we've been listening to has been good. We sang when the Twinkle, Twinkle instrumental came on. We also sang to the ABC instrumental. And the Baa, Baa Black Sheep instrumental.
Yeah, I hate you guys right now.
It's sad when the best music so far has come from PRAM!
Since I'm too poor busy to attend I've decided to host Zug15: Iowa Friday night. There will be me, alcohol, plans for a corn cannon, and anyone else who decides to stop by which will most likely be the neighbors and the police.
If you want to attend RSVP at Frostyouseallyoufatluckysumbitches@bitter.com.
And before you ask, Yes, there will most likely be sheep.
I'm currenlty boarding, and standing next to a teenage kid so dorky he makes us all look like A-list celebs. He's chomping pizza in my ear and I'm about to choke him
No, I'm sitting next to a woman who appears to be 105 and has never flown before. She keeps asking me "what's going on now?" WE'RE BOARDING. People are sitting down and putting their luggage in the bins. It's not going to change until we move.
If at some point she phrases it as "What's happening, now?" you reply, "It was an okay show I guess, but not as good as the first one. I mean, Rerun is a funny character, but to base an entire show off him?"
There are several people attending who don't know what I look like. Should I introduce myself to them as "Midgets making a surprise appearance" or as "the guy who's been pretending to be a girl nicknamed Cinderblock?"
God is punishing me. They just closed down the runways due to an approaching lightning storm. We're going to be stuck on this plane for about 30 mins before takeoff, according to their current guess. So she's calling a travel agent looking for a different flight out of Baltimore, said shed prefer Boston but would be willing to go to any nearby
Because that lightning is only gonna affect OUR plane?
I don't get it. The plane has been boarded already and she thinks she's going to get off it and find another flight?
Make sure you laugh at her when you tell her that, not only can she not get off the plane, she probably can't even use the bathroom if you've pulled away from the gate.
tell her the only way to catch another flight is to get up and run (ok waddle fast) toward the cockpit ALLAH because that's the pilot's name and it will catch his attention.
When I went to Houston in 2007, they were having a rare ice storm the night my flight left. I sat on the plane, on the runway, in a looooooooong line of planes to get de-iced by the only de-icer on site for 3 HOURS. A 2 hour flight took a total of 5 hours.
For those that don't use or claim to hate Twitter, stuff like this is where it can really be useful. By adding #zug15 to the end of any Zug15-related tweets, you make it easy for people to follow any news about the event.
So, for example, if everyone is heading to a certain place to eat, you just tweet "heading to Burger King on Comm. Ave #zug15" and now anyone following the tag (by searching for "zug15" on Twitter and/or following updates on that search page can get the news and meet you there if they so choose.
If you follow it right now you'll get updates from Spicey and Undie's road trip to Boston and you'll see kchiki's confusion about how Twitter works. Later in the weekend I'm sure you'll get all kinds of great updates and possibly even some links to pictures of tits. You'll see.
Hashtags (I think) kind of came about organically when Twitter started getting used a lot but they can be really fun and useful.
It looks like I can leave the office earlier than I thought today. Which means I can either swing over to the hotel, if anyone's around yet, or find a nice place with a bar nearby to kill a couple of hours. Either way, I should be drooling and pantsless by a quarter til seven.
What the hell? I thought these were supposed to be non-stop donkey calls and Trae people flashing boobs on webcams! Not one good story has surfaced yet. I am disappoint.
I was going to post something to make Boston sound even better than it is for all the suckas not coming, but then I realized I don't even need to, and decided against it.
I am in the Philly airport waiting for my connection. Manhole may be able to make dinner, but I will still have to take the T to the restaurant.
I was in one of those prop jobs for the first leg, in the seat right in line with the propellers. I spent much of the time envisioning various scenarios involving my legs getting severed.
Straw is supposed to be on her way to my hotel to hold my hand and lead me to your hotel. I just drove 14 hours to get here, I'm not doing any more thinking tonight god damn it.
I have no idea how I managed to get up out of bed a few minutes ago, when I just went to bed a couple hours ago. I didn't hear Unca Al leave the room to go get on his plane - I'm pretty sure he must be the angel ninja Mailman was telling us all about this weekend. I had to check to see if I had been a victim of a surprise porning.
Ok, were leaving in a few minutes. Check for updates on Spicey's twitter account (neomiasma) if you want to follow our trip home across NY state.
The thought just occurred to me that I sent John a whole bunch of titty pictures prior to this trip, because he said he needed them for a prank. Since neither the photos nor the wacky hijinks ensued, I am beginning to believe that he's more of a pornographer than a prankster.
I wish I had come down for the festivities, but my OCD only allows me to attend anniversary celebrations that are perfect binary numbers. See you guys next year at Zug10000.
I uploaded some videos to my facebook, which those of you who did not attend the Improv show should definitely watch. Are you not my friend on facebook? Sucks to be you!
