Too early for Halloween?

 

First, let me say that I was really surprised that yesterday, nobody made it over the blog where I guest posted to leave a comment. I was trying to show some support to Gina and maybe get her a few new readers, but I guess nobody wanted to fucking bother.

Second, let's talk about Halloween! It's a scant six months away, and time to start planning the huge mondo spectacular ginormous huge phallotastic AVITABLE HALLOWEEN PARTY 2008!

If you weren't reading me or didn't attend last year, here is what you missed:

http://www.avitable.com/2007/10/30/halloween-2007-recap-part-2/

This year, because I know some of you will be attending and traveling from out of state, I wanted to give you all the juicy details well in advance.

Halloween is a Friday this year, but I don't like to have parties on Friday nights since it's hard for people from out of town to get here on time if they want to work a full week. So the Avitable Halloween Party is Saturday, November 1st, from 8PM until the zombie cows come home and eat your brains.

Mark it on your calendars, tell your bosses, plan your trips - do whatever you need to do to make sure you don't miss out on the largest party of the year. And all bloggers are invited! Well, except Dooce.

Any questions or suggestions about the party? Let me know in the comments.

Not here today . . .

 

I'm guest posting today. Over here. Come visit and leave her a comment!

Lazy Sunday XXXIX

 

After a hiatus last week, we're back, and the questions are as tough as ever!

You can find last week's answers, scores and contest winner in an extended entry, but now it's time for today's Lazy Sunday contest! This week's prize is a six-pack of Avitable condoms and a "Viva El Avitable" T-shirt in whatever style, color, and size you want!

Everyone has a chance at winning, so don't be shy! The questions may be hard, but everyone who's between the ages of 16 and 80 should be able to get at least one correct - I promise.

The rules:

It's very simple. Every answer contains a reference to a movie, a television show, or a song. Just guess as many as you can - some will be laughably easy and some will be very difficult. Every correct answer is like a raffle ticket - you get one chance to win per correct answer. If you get 1 right, your name goes in the proverbial hat. If you get 10 right, your name goes in ten times. Et cetera. You're on the honor system - try not to Google or look at other people's answers!

The contest ends Tuesday at midnight EST. I'll give the correct answers and the winner on the following Sunday.

Ready? Here we go!


1. Do you know anyone in prison at the present moment?
Yeah, an accountant. Don't reckon he'll be in for long, though.

2. When is the last time you ate peanut butter and jelly?
I don't remember, but last night I had a chef salad with the oil and the vinegar on the side and apple pie heated with ice cream on the side but only if it's strawberry and if not then whipped cream but only if it's not out of a can.

3. Do you have a desk in your room?
No, there's no room, what with the fireman's pole to get from my bedroom to the kitchen.

4. Have you ever gotten naked at a party?
I don't think so. I did have to sing "These Eyes" to a bunch of cokeheads once, though.

5. What are you listening to right at this second?
"Johnny B. Goode". It's an oldie where I come from.

6. Are you named after one of your parents or grandparents?
No, we're both named Johnson. No relation.

7. Do you throw up gang signs?
Only ones that fuck up the scenery.

8. Who slept with you last night?
I slept with my friend's mom to get back at him for sleeping with mine.

9. Have you ever been to a farm?
Only the one where that pig was walking around and talking like a person. Pretty ominous.

10. Who is the most spoiled person you know?
My friend has people who wash his penis for him.

11. Would you ever work for the border patrol?
Only if I could keep pesky Americans like Rudy out.

12. Was one of your family members ever abusive?
My dad was, until my meat delivery boyfriend and I killed the bastard.

13. Have you ever had a eating disorder?
Is swelling up and turning blue a disorder?

14. Do you have a bicycle?
I did, but I got knocked the fuck out and someone stole it.

15. Do you think your childhood dreams came true?
Well, there was that one childhood dream of writing and directing a summer camp musical about Thanksgiving.

A few totally not-at-all related side points: (not related in anyway to Kapgar's TUAs)

First, today is the 23rd birthday of the brilliant and wonderful Crystal! She's recently shut down her blog, and I don't know if she wants me to link to her new one, so take a minute and leave her a birthday wish in the comments. EDIT: Apparently, it's actually tomorrow, the 9th, but I got my days screwed up! Oh well, wish her a Happy Birthday anyway!

Secondly, if you want to make sure that you get to enjoy an Avitable condom even if you can't win one, here is a picture suitable for your desktop wallpaper! Just click the small thumbnail, and then right-click on the resulting picture and "Set as desktop wallpaper".

Musings

 

If you get caught trying to take a drunk girl's pants off with your teeth, pretending you're invisible probably won't work.

Do you think that maybe Hitler just really hated juice, but was misunderstood by those below him?

If you cloned yourself, would it have a soul? And if you had sex with it, would you be gay?

If ladies don't fart, and if he who smelt it dealt it, what the fuck did I walk into when I entered the girls' hotel room at TequilaCon last weekend?

When I put peanut butter on my taint and my dog won't lick it off, do you think she's allergic to peanut butter?

Roofies make you susceptible to suggestion. If I give myself Roofies and tell myself I can fly, do you think it will work?

If you spend an entire three-day weekend away on vacation and never poop, wouldn't your subsequent poop when you get home be the size of a small dog?

Under which circumstances is it acceptable to refer to yourself as your superhero name?

How long can you adjust your crotch in public before it's considered masturbation?

A man and his penis

 

Everybody else seems to be recapping TequilaCon very well, so instead, I just put this video together to show some of the swag that we got in Philadelphia. I also included a very extra-special video clip from the night of TequilaCon where we all got to see a special part of our friend Karl.

Here's the direct link if you can't see it here. And here is the link if you want to buy a "Viva El Avitable" t-shirt:

And as far as any additional recap goes, I met bloggers I've wanted to meet for a long time, spent time with others that I'd met previously, got elbowed in the balls, watched Iron Man, saw the Rocky statue, ate some delicious tater tots, gave lots of one-armed hugs, spent about $2,000, and had an amazing time. I'll be there next year without a doubt!

TequilaCon 2008

 

I'll have more recaps later with photos and video, but for now, since I just landed about three hours ago, made it home, and am falling asleep as I type this. I'm sure I forgot a few people - email me at my first name at my last name if I did:

Things I learned at TequilaCon 2008:

There's nothing here. It's Saturday afternoon and I'm just getting ready so I can head over to TequilaCon 08! I will capture as many drunken bloggers on camera as I can. Oh, and I saw Iron Man today - fucking rocked!

The winners to last week's contest and a new contest will be up next Sunday.
