We&#8217;re looking to have folks over at about 7:00pm or 8:00pm.  Just let me know via comment or phone call.  And yes Pounders, you and your dike-y short hair can come and play on Pac-Man and the Nintendo PlayChoice&#8230; Raul too if he likes \u2014 hell, everyone is welcome to play.  I just need to vacuum the dust off of them.<\/p>\n<p><b>** ADDENDUM START **<\/b><\/p>\n<p>First, the official title of this little gathering is the &quot;<b>Holy Shit, We&#8217;ve Been Too Busy To Decorate<\/b>&quot; party.  There, happy now Mensa?<\/p>\n<p>Second, if those of you who are coming to decorate can afford to bring a bag of chips, pack of drinks (soft-drinks or beer) or something to add to the communal sip\/snack pile, we would greatly appreciate it.  We have some chips, drinks and beer, but I&#8217;d like to be sure everyone has enough to keep them satisfied.  Thank you.  Message ends.<\/p>\n<p><b>** ADDENDUM END **<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We can also make this our official annual <b>Nightmare Before Christmas<\/b> screening as well, which will be followed up by as many horror\/horrible movies as we have in our movie collection (<a href=http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0092610 target=top><b>Bad Taste<\/a><\/b> anyone?).  Snap, chances are we might still be there when you get off \u2014 call and see.<\/p>\n<p>A great big &quot;<i>Holy shit!  This is pretty damned cool \u2014 thank you guys so very much!<\/i>&quot; goes out to Steve and Harold for the Halloween\/housewarming present they care-packaged to us from sunny, sunny California.  I guess their overwhelming guilt at not being able to attend our Halloween party \u2014 again \u2014 grabbed hold of them.  It&#8217;s a fantastically gi-normous haunted house with groovy flashing lights and a spooky witch that spins around the tower.  Once again, thanks a heap guys, and we&#8217;ll be calling y&#8217;all tonight to thank you in a non-virtual manner.  I bet everyone can guess what our party centerpiece is going to be this year.<\/p>\n<p><b>Side note:<\/b> Saturday or Sunday we transport our computers to the new house and will be without internet communications until Thursday, October 30th.  While Lady and I can certainly keep up with all our daily nonsense from work, it will definitely only be from work.  Expect us to be a little scarce in the digital realm until Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Halloween approacheth-eth. Eth&#8230; eth.
