Merl dignitaries from afar....

[edmontonsubbie]

....we had our first visitor from the wet coast. HB was "out of town", Jim was "out of town", jdtipper failed to reply. A sad day indeed. It fell to me to entertain the visitor.

O.k. fine, the dignitary and I had corresponded to set this up...so, obviously, he's my responsibility regardless. I'm just blaming my fellow Merlito's because....well...I'm shallow.

To the point, I show up spot on time (being a bit of a time slut) and look around the pub...nope, nobody fitting my expectations of the dignitary. I seat my ass at the bar. A voice calls out...."are you not going to say hello?" I turn.....look...."uh sure, how you doing?"....still not comprehending.

The dignitary has to rise out of his chair and greet me....ummm...it's me eddie. Holy crap. So there's a life lesson....not that I hadn't learned that one before. I went in with expectations of who I would meet, the dignitary did not fit them.

The guy is frigging massive. I'm not a big guy but I know who I want on my side when push comes to shove....I'll take him any day.

Anyway, once all that misconception is over, I sit and order up a beer for myself. We yak about this, that, and the weather. We grow more comfortable with one another, we yak about Perb, we yak about life, but not once do we yak about the hot chick serving up the beer. He's a good one.

I had a wonderful time, I met his SO.....that takes trust on his part and so I'm glad I did. She's cool, smart, and knows about his perb board activities.

For once, I had a motorized vehicle. The ex mistress turned sub was out visiting some other sub chicky friend of hers tonite....so she offered me the vehicle. I accepted gratefully, being the lazy ass that I am. The vehicle is still parked at the pub....the dignitary and his SO drove me home....I'll walk down tomorrow to retrieve.

Had much fun and thank you visiting dignitary and SO. You are good people. Now, to the point....when are you going to crack HB? I'm ready to let Miss X break my 5 year virginity...I trust her completely...and I'm ready to move along on that front. I'm too fucked up that way...it needs broken.

hugs,

eddie.

 

[edmontonsubbie]

lol!!!!!!!!.....we are far more sophisticated than that. We only buy 8 packs of boxer.

Damn, I'm upset I missed that. He sounds like a great guy, and including a visit with his SO, that is so cool.
Thanks for being hospitable Eddie and shouldering the burden of being our official MERL greeter, I would do it but I'm such a bad influence.
Oh, and still not cracking bud, you will be a eunuch before I do.

Lemme know when the next meeting is on dude and I'll return my empties and fuel up the car and come hang out. Maybe book me a room at the Dover Hotel along the tracks & get me a 18 pack of Boxer Beer. Let's do this E Town style. I still got my K97 Tattoo. ;-)

LOL, why'd you get a tattoo, we all just got the stickers.

We definitely need to make a date Dood, before the snow flies and the roads turn to shit....and there has been a precedent set of introducing your SO, I'm just sayin hehehe

 

[mistressfreyja]

I love you, Eddie. You fucking rock.

I still win, though. I hugged the local homeless guy, after I fed him an OJ and some beej jerky....and a smoke. (what would I need if I was homeless.)

Oh, and I hung out with the hottest lady. You all should be jealous. Except, I don't brag.

I am en route to MERL.

 

[mistressfreyja]

Edmont MERLS and the like.....

I got to meet and play with JPR. (neener neener neener).

She is incredibly adorable. And such a big heart. You boys look after her, or you answer to me! Take good care of her....she deserves it.

I'm coming to MERL or bust. I miss Eddie, and Edmonton was my hometown for a time in space. It's going to be sentimental.

It's awesome that you also met an SO. Good on you for stepping up to the plate, to host.

As for Miss X.....fight it out boys. You both stay strong and kick each other's asses.

[mistressfreyja]

Let's ride together...

I don't know how to drive one yet, but I rode a sport bike in the past.

I'm a quick learner. Let's tour on a bike.

I don't need to know your boys....just you and your bike.

Angie would love to get up there. I have a good friend in Edmonton. Yes Dood he rides a Harley too. Just can't stay away fom those boys.

dammit...no wonder I didn't make any headway with Electra....I think I may already be one. In the spirit of "not bragging" I don't like to talk about my massively miniscule member.....affectionately known as mmm by those who used to know him. Speaking of massive, I have a massive "to do" list that can't be set aside today. I am guessing a post "to do" beer would be...what's the word???....*thinking*...oh yeah, DELIGHTFUL! Hope you make it into town.

oh..and...Welcome to E Town mutherfuckers. LOL

Alcoholism. The solution to ALL your problems. or so you think LOL.

Now I am compelled to wander into the local and snap a pic of an 8 pack. They do, in fact, exist. Well, I'm not compelled in the slightest, I just want to. I even added it to my "to do" list.

I love you, Eddie. You fucking rock.

I still win, though. I hugged the local homeless guy, after I fed him an OJ and some beej jerky....and a smoke. (what would I need if I was homeless.)

I am en route to MERL.

Gotta love a bunny that can entice a Viking to cross the mountains. My hat is doffed in your direction Ms. Rabbit...my coat tossed over the puddle to protect your paws. If being in love with someone is measured by....."the plane just went down and the only two who made it to the forgotten island were you and another, now you have to spend the rest of days in one another's company".....then I could confidently state....I love you Freyja. You have a fine mind and a humble soul.

neener???.....gawd, how childish.

Ms. Rabbit is well regarded in Edmonton and undoubtedly well taken care of. Looking forward to seeing your bust in Edmonton.

Off to do my "to do"....it starts with a hike to the pub for automobile retrieval. Have a mostly pleasant day.

eddie.

 

[edmontonsubbie]

I took that pic just outside Tops on Whyte, right near 99th Ave. You can get "Beer Beer" for the same price or cheaper in that store. What a sketchy area of Whyte Ave that place is LOL. I was in the Money Mart sending a transfer one night and two of the women from the Geisha AMP across the road were there trying to cash a cheque. LOL. I wish I had a fucking video camera for that one because I would have won the 10K on American's Funniest Home Videos. And they convinced him too.

Angie: If you ride in E Town, you need to head out to the Tim Hortons on Whyte Ave and park there. Harley's against the wall, rice rockets on the other side. There is some FINE metal in that lot sometimes. I lived right on Whyte just up from 109th and all summer all you could hear was the pipes on bikes. E-Town...definitely has it's charms.

And I could really use some wings from Hudson's on Whyte.

O.k. buddy boy....as promised...an "undoctored" peekture of an 8 pack of Boxer Beer. Note the convenient handle built right into the seagullstranglingplasticcanretainer thing....whatever it's called. I'm sure there is an industry term, I simply don't know it.

I intend to consume some of these...probably all of them as I rack wine from the primary to the secondary, string up some aircraft cable, do a load of darks, cut down a memory foam pad, rehang some pictures, and do some general straightening and tidying up. I have a date with HB tonite at the pub so I'll mostly behave in the interim.

Sorry, can't help on the wings things though. What do y'all have down there....I'm guessing buffalo wings? Honestly, behind Vangroovie, Calgary was the coolest place I've lived. Fun town.

cheers,

eddie

p.s. holy fuck that's a high res picture....ugh. I look best in candlelight. But, then, who doesn't? Well, maybe HB doesn't need candlelight...he's a flawless fucker.

 

[HubbaHubba]

eddie....hilarious stuff my man. Lose the helmet next time


** you're some weird f*ckers.......I love it!!!

 

[HB40]

HB, here is the answer from my SO other regarding going to a MERL meeting.

HB must be off the wall if he thinks I'll show up at some review board convention. LOL.

OK, but as long as she doesn't blame me for any trouble we(you) might get into.

p.s. great picture Eddie, are you putting on weight?!?

 

[mistressfreyja]

Eddie is used to wearing a helmet...(the short bus thing, and all).

Weird fuckers are *my* kind of people. haha

PS: Rockin' pic, Eddie, you crack me up!!!!!!!!!!!!

eddie....hilarious stuff my man. Lose the helmet next time


** you're some weird f*ckers.......I love it!!!

 

[edmontonsubbie]

p.s. great picture Eddie, are you putting on weight?!?

O.k. fine, so are you saying I look fat in that? DAMMIT! I knew I should have bought the Bell lid....they are much more flattering.

Never to worry HB, I'm still a buck fifty five with a brick in my hand. I fattened my ass up to a buck seventy five a year ago...but, it was all fat. Sure, I probably looked better...but I felt like crap. Although as this "no smoking" thing progresses....I'm finding myself putting odd things into my mouth far more frequently than I have in the past. But, I'm still sticking to VV's Greek diet.

There....there ought to be plenty of material there for a reply. Threads that diverge and wander are always fun to read.

cheers,

 

[uncleg]

Made it to Edmonton, and met up with eddie, too bad he didn't give me a heads up on the dignitary that was out there from the wet coast, maybe I could have met him as well. Seems his meeting with that dude went the same as with us. Do have to admit, there was an advantage on my part to recognizing eddie as I had seen his picture.

The get together went as described. Being able to talk to somebody face to face about what we do on here adds a whole different dimension. I know I'll have a different view of eddies posts going on because I now know the person behind the keyboard. I envy what the Merlitos have there and hopefully something like that can develop here as well. Also a hell of a neat pub and a gorgeous waitress. A true neighbourhood hangout.

Yes, the SO was really there, not right from the beginning, she went shopping for awhile first. However, when she did join us the conversation was not hindered. We did continue to discuss the ladies and who we would like to see and why. Really there is no reason to hide your involvement with this from your SO, just be totally honest, it works for me. Plus, as was noted by my gracious host, she's got a cute ass.

eddie,, thank you again and hopefully I will soon be able to return the hospitality here on the coast.

 

[HB40]

Although as this "no smoking" thing progresses....I'm finding myself putting odd things into my mouth far more frequently than I have in the past.

Well, last night a few of us gathered for another MERL fest, and I came clean about failing in my bid to stop smoking, but like I told Eddie....I'm not going to quit quitting.

So now the collection of winnings is to commence, which I intend to honour despite Eddie's pathetic attempts to let me off the hook....aint gonna happen my friend, you're getting laid whether you like it or not hehehe. The gorgeous lady I was with last night even offered to come along to make sure you go through with it and offer moral support, and probably a few pointers in case you forgot how it's done, contrary to what is said, it is nothing like riding a bike....besides, I've seen how you ride a bike!

But stay strong with the no smoking Eddie, you are an inspiration to me.

Since both require helmets, or at least it is recommended to wear one, eddie is at least part of the way there and ready to go.

I had fun last night HB, right up till you told me about the smoking thing. Then....disappointment. Of course, that was brief as thoughts of actually getting laid began to dance in my head. Nah, that's a lie, the disappointment went away as I continued to yak with you and Jim and remembered what cool fully flawed humans you are. You are good people and I will look forward to losing my virginity with Lady X. She fits my fantasy eye and I will be damn lucky to have her attention. Having you pay for it....somewhat mixed feelings...but, really....that's just fucking funny and fun. Thanks for being your honourable self.

Sorry I completely failed to invite you jd...didn't even cross my mind...I was happy to go merling. Besides, you were working anyway. I think....

I just got back in from 9 holes at Vic Park with a soon to be ex workmate. I work with some very competent people, I'll miss them.

Since both require helmets, or at least it is recommended to wear one, eddie is at least part of the way there and ready to go.

Had fun that night uncleg....I will definitely be staying in touch so that you have a chance to return the hospitality. You can babysit my kids any day....I have no higher compliment. Well, other than your SO has a "nice ass". But, that's her not you. And, it's fleeting. There is a depth of humanity to the pair of you that makes you "delightful" people to know. Sorry HB, couldn't resist the delightful thing....but, apparently, you have already cracked.

cheers,

eddie.

 

[jdtipper]

Sorry I completely failed to invite you jd...didn't even cross my mind...I was happy to go merling. Besides, you were working anyway. I think....

eddie.

WOW....I am so.....I can't even think of the word right now, I feel so.... I don't know....

Of course, the one day I get off early.

Well congratulations on your victory, I wish I could have been there to see the sly little smirk when HB told you. But alas I wasn't invited.

If you will excuse me, I have something in my eye...a tear

 

[edmontonsubbie]

it didn't/doesn't feel like any sort of victory...there was no smirk. My friend failed and I have few enough friends...I don't exult in their failures. But, I will smile and accept my winnings.....I am a lucky man to spend time with Miss X. Perhaps more fortunate that she has agreed to spend it with me. I'm pretty fucked up....imagine...a five year virgin. She doesn't have an easy row to hoe.

Wipe that tear jd....but don't worry on another falling to replace it. C'est ca la vie.

edwierdo.

 

[jim]

You not being there upset me too JD. I think I owe you a smack down don't I? ;-)

As always gentlemen it was a pleasure. BTW the bicycle riding analogy is actually funny since it looked like Eddie was having some issues less than 150 metres from the door.

 

[jdtipper]

A smack down...no,

But a good hard spanking... ABSOLUTELY
