according to 100% of my cambervillian meetups, I wear nothing but lycra as well.

Can you climb stairs on your bike? Do you have that ability? Because if so I never want to see you without your bike again. You can be the Bike Guy. That would be awexome.

I shall assume that nobody is here because Nougat did not give anyone directions. Alas.
We live adjacent to the corner of Craigie Street and Summer Street in Somerville, just up the road from Davis. If you want to come by and do not know which house it is, PM me and I will let you know.

And now I go back to sitting in a headachy daze. :-(

Hmm....I think it was I who talked about your homicidal tendencies with pens, however, he did threaten with Harry Potter spoilers, so its kind of understandable. Also those Guinness brownies were quite enjoyable, thank you for those, just there will need to be less talking in the kitchen next time, it took far too long :-D

Hello, name-doppelganger. We should fight to the death. Unless you're willing to demote yourself to Alexander. Be warned, I have a santoku, and I'm not afraid to use it.

misogynistic humor is SO 2003. Glad you enjoyed the brownies.

So What are we doing for HP tonight? Harry and the Potter's? Harvard Hogwarts Square?

by **Fantastic Idea** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 4:23 pm UTC

I'm going to be off with old friends doing our traditional book meet and denny's run, please drag Nougat to something so he can get his own book and not borrow mine :-)

by **Sprocket** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 4:27 pm UTC

My book is showing up tomorrow reading (edit: morning...tomorrow morning) and I won't be able to read it for a few days b/c I went halvesies with a friend for it, and she reads fast and I read REALLY slow. I don't intend to read it until I finish Stardust, and maybe not until I finish Dune. Spoil it for me and I will cut you! Infact, I can't wait to hear about that first Harry Potter fan who goes crazy and kills someone when they spoil book seven for them. :-D

Hogwarts in Harvard Square
http://www.harvardsquare.com/summer/harry-potter.php
Read it all!

by **OCR** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 6:26 pm UTC

interesting.

by **Fantastic Idea** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 6:31 pm UTC

I'm terrified of spoilers. I've set up a new screen name. I've banned myself from most web sites except this one (because most people here are pretty respectful) and maybe Facebook. But since by bff just got spoilers posted to her Facebook wall thanks to a really stupid friend, even Facebook is not safe!

The Horror.

by **OCR** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 8:43 pm UTC

yeah I think I'll steer clear of Harvard sq tonight. Too tempting to read some spoilers, get a little drunk, and run for my life from a crowd of not so happy people in hogwarts square.

I would rip your still-beating heart out of your chest and crush it before your fading vision before smearing your face with so that your own pulpy guts would be the last thing you see before you die.

Just sayin'. <3

Bakemaster: Is there cake night tomorrow (or today, depending on when you read this)?

Also, Bakemaster, CatProximity, Sandry, OCR, the general populace: Wii and Guitar Hero at my/Meaux's place Tuesday night?

by **Bakemaster** » Mon Jul 30, 2007 5:53 am UTC

There is cake night and it is good. I will be making tiramisu, which is always popular. All are welcome, as usual; if you haven't been before, PM me for directions.

I am also down for wii-and-guitar-hero, provided I can refer to your apartment as "miemoe's place" from now on.

by **Fantastic Idea** » Mon Jul 30, 2007 6:09 am UTC

Tiramisu?!? Holy crap awesome!

And you can call our place that, but I usually refer to it as the Treehouse. that will work as well.

by **Pixel** » Mon Jul 30, 2007 1:05 pm UTC

Nougat/Meaux: Would you be able to send me your address on the (admittedly unlikely) chance I can make it up to Boston on Tuesday?

by **Bakemaster** » Mon Aug 06, 2007 11:19 pm UTC

Attention All Cyber Villains

Tonight is almost definitely going to be the last Cake Night of August, as I devote my attention (and wallet) to finding an apartment for 9/1. On the menu is Zucchini Coconut Load and My Bubbe's Apple Pie. She's a million years old so you know it's gotta be good.

Anyone who is a Cyber Villain and hasn't come to Cake Night yet (for shame!), this is your change to redeem yourselves. I'm looking at you, ocr and Azrael. Insert evil eye. Best way to get directions is to add me to MSN (link below post and in profile); second best is to email me (huth dot alex at that crazy gmail); don't PM because I'll be busy baking and entertaining (yes, I juggle) so while I can see/hear the alert of email or MSN with a quick glance/listen, I won't be browsing XKCD. When is too late to show up? Midnight.

Addendum: For those who didn't see whichever other thread it was posted in, brunch at Meimoe's Place this weekend! There will be bacon!

by **Azrael** » Mon Aug 06, 2007 11:30 pm UTC

I am a bad cyber villian, I admit it. I am in Peabody at the moment (still at work) and will not be free until well past my bed time.

Brunch...Saturday? We should extend this thread to Bostoni-ookl-ightoners

by **Pixel** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 5:02 pm UTC

Ack! Would love to, but am going to be in the woods of CT surrounded by Germanic machinery[1] until at least noon. If something was happening late afternoon/evening, or on Sunday I could likely make it.

[1] I'm going to a VW car show, but it sounds more interesting that way.

Ya know, I'd totally be in, if I knew I'd have a car.

Hey you Connecticut people... I suspect I will miraculously appear in Hartford on Friday the 17th, but I could be wrong. Still working out the details. If I'm in town would anyone else be up for grabbing a drink somewhere and saying Hi?

Sure. Not sure of my plans for that weekend, but as of now Fri is free after 5pm.

by **Fantastic Idea** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 5:20 pm UTC

I have big, big plans for that weekend, but Friday is currently up in the air. The prospect of hitting a bar with XKCDians could take the coolness factor of that weekend to near critical mass. Which I will need, cause Sunday will be a day full of Sad Pandas.

by **Pixel** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 5:31 pm UTC

Sad Pandas? Are you teasing wildlife again?

This sentence suggests that there is any time when I'm not teasing wildlife. This is false!

Ok actually that's just my way of saying I'm sad. I'm pretty sure there are no pandas in Windsor. But I may be teasing ducks!

Aw, sad Meaux. May I ask why?

Also, Duck Teasing FTW!

Tractor: Windsor is interesting. And by that I mean kinda creepy. But I go there about once a month to visit my friends from school.

Pixel: That will be a sad sunday because I'm saying goodbye to my soul mate, who is moving to god knows where in Guatemala for two years. But before she leaves we will dance like ten zombies, all night long!

Big, big plans.

Yeah, I've heard. And thusly don't venture there.

CHANGE THE THREAD NAME!!!

by **Sprocket** » Fri Aug 10, 2007 1:52 pm UTC

I will bring a-won-dozen eggs, some sort of delcious bread, veggie snausage and probably some cheese. Next?

by **Fantastic Idea** » Fri Aug 10, 2007 2:07 pm UTC

Upon yesterday's grocery trip, I have the
ingredients for pancakes (yay) (flour sugar milk eggs vanilla etc)
fake maple syrup
butter
eggs
melon
bananas
tomatoes
red potatoes(for home fries if someone wants to make them!)
breakfast sausage (the meaty kind AND the maple-y meaty kind!)
lemonade

And I think that's the extent of what I bought. Anybody else plan on bringing makings of any kind?
(I have non-XKCD friends that are coming, too. Possibly bringing juices? Not sure)

I also just realized I don't have ketchup. Maybe I should grab that on the way home. Check.
