Join my Crew

Do you like fun? Do you like to drink? Then you need to join THE PIRATE CREW!

That's right, THE PIRATE CREW. Or, to be a bit more descriptive, "The group of people that are going to wander around the strip, drinking, laughing, and participating in all manner of skullduggery."

I don't know what night it's going to be, yet. Probably saturday night after the "forum party". Here is what you need to know, people: The bars never close in vegas. So we are going to be rockstars. What is this going to be? Fun. Spontenous. A little stupid.

Here is what it's not going to be:

Get-so-drunk-I-have-to-carry-you-time.

Be-creepy-and-scare-the-girls-time.

Forget-to-bathe-and-be-an-embarassment-time.

In summary, I'm assembling a group of smart men and women to wander around, imbibing heavily while still remaining within their limits, to laugh, to learn, and maybe, just maybe, to love. It's going to be very loose and casual. As little structure as possible. Because people, that's how a bar crawl works. In my experience, when you get more than about eight people in a group to go drink, you end up with a ***************. Suzie wants to drink at the fancy bar, Dan wants to drink at the biker bar, blah blah.

We will be spontenous, mobile and drunk. If you don't like to hear F-bombs and risque conversation, this is not the event for you. If you want to get obliterated and embarass yourself, this is not the event for you.

HOWEVER

If you are smart, clever, want to drink and flirt and hear/tell some epic stories, then post here. Some skeletal details, such as where to meet and when, will be announced as TAM gets closer.

Edit: Also, if I have never met you in person and you want to attend, then tell me about yourself so I know you aren't creepy. If your interests include hentai, fursuits or ebaums world, you are probably creepy and will not be given contact info.

Unnn, Pirate Lad, me hearty, I'd suggest you might want to read this thread and see if you can merge your activity into Merv's...

Of course, there may be enough willing to do it twice, you never know...

I think I may just have to sign up for this. Knowing just what can happen when a Marine starts drinking it might be handy to have a Doc along.

Y'arr.

Well - scheduling conflicts pending etc... I'm probably in.

Can this involve gaming (ie craps) as well as drinking, skullduggery and saying 'y'arr'?

It probably can. I'm not much for gambling myself, but if there is signifigant interest in gaming, I'm fine with chilling and BSing with the ones that aren't. The plan is to not stay in one place too long, though.

For those few sweet hours it will be just you and I. Wherever there is a Marine in action a Doc is never far away.


Besides, there has been full disclosure and the mission has been given the green light.

Depending on how late the forum party runs, and how interesting the Sunday papers look, this might or might not work for me ...

Assuming we have a need for one sober individual to keep us from getting arrested or picking up a really ugly hooker or something.

Now why on earth would you want to prevent either of those two things from happening?

At least I'd want to spend my money on a pretty hooker. Even if I was too drunk to notice.
As for getting arrested, it might cut into my drinking time.

I was going to take advantage of people, remember? That was my reason for coming.
Which was a joke.
As was my desire to attend.
Sorry for the confusion. Communicating jokes over text is rather annoying.

I'll bring the list of pirate pick-up lines:

- Ya know, darlin’, I’m 97 percent chum free.
- They don’t call me Long John because my head is so big.
- That’s some treasure chest you’ve got there
- Is that a belayin' pin in yer britches, or are ye ...

What time does the forum party end? I have an 8AM Sunday flight so I'll need to be back to the hotel by 5:30ish.

Oh, wait, where do I find this application form so I may validate (or invalidate) my slightly-less-than-creepy status?

my flight leaves at 6:55AM on Sunday morning. I'm thinking maybe I should just stay up all night...

Slightly-less-than-creep application

Slightly-less-than-creep application:

Vital stats:
-13 yrs. Army National Guard (probably not buying me any points with a Marine)
-Work on Wall St. (yea, that just screams "fun-pirate type")
-Originally from Iowa (not helping myself any here...)
-Love golf, weight lifting and skeptics (it just keeps getting worse)
-I'll bring Mrs. Gulliamo! (My one saving trait! She is generally fun and saves me from myself.)

I'd rather not go into numbers, if that's all right with you.
