I wish I could go this year. It's a great time.
And yes, I'm one of the few who take a daily shower...
Ditto.
Wish I had the $$$ to go this year. I had a great time this year.
On the other hand, Leisner is safe from my drunken conversation!
Hell, I've talked his ear off while sober.TBonz said:Wish I had the $$$ to go this year. I had a great time this year.

I don't get out much, so I get a little carried away . . .
More than you care to know . . .
The conversation I can handle. It's the drunken wandering hands that really bother me.TBonz said:

And that goes double for Pearson.

Oh, don't you act all innocent, Ward. There are those among us who know that you have certain . . . how shall we say . . . proclivities that were they to see the light of day, well, some shadowy aspersions would be cast upon your character, I dare say. Shall I mention the secret room in your basement, the one beneath the stairs lit only by a naked bulb dangling from a wire, the mysterious drain in the floor, the arcane implements hanging on the walls, and the stains, God help me, the stains?Dayton Ward said:

And you, Leisner: Loose lips sink ships.
^ Well, you were right, Ward. The roofies worked. He apparently has no idea he was actually in Dilmore's basement.
Looks at ceiling, raises fist:
"Dilmore! DILMORE!"
No! Stop! Not the Bushmills! That'd be alcohol abuse! (Take it from one who knows about such things.)TBonz said:
That's it. I'm pouring the Bushmills down the sink. RIGHT NOW!
I know you don't like talking about your charity work, Dave, so I just want to point out how much energy you put into your foundation, Think of the Whiskey, which struggles against the wasting of fine whiskey. Whether it's being poured out in a preventative fashion, as above, or being slammed down by hillbilly fishmongers with no palate, TOTW is there to stop the abuse. Well done.David Mack said:

Retina-burning decor and olfactory issues aside, I wish I could go, too...
As it stands now, though, it's very unlikely I'll be able to make it out to Shore Leave again this year.
Shore Leave was a great time, and I'd love to go back.
Of course, if I managed to publish some more Trek stories, I could more easily justify the trip...
I'm with you on that. Like this:TheAlmanac said:

"I'm beggin' ya, Marco, I need to be able to write off Shore Leave. Haven't ya got anything for me? I'll write jacket copy! For the love of god, Montressor!"
It's addictive. I let finances keep me away when I was in SNWVII, but then after I went for SNW9 I just couldn't imagine not going. And I'm not really making that much more money now!

Amateurs! Some people do not get "groveling" properly!
I'd shine his shoes.
Knowing my luck, he wears tennis shoes.
The thing that hosed me this year would be the extra rent-a-car cost on top of airfare, hotel, etc. Last year, I split it with two other ladies which made me able (barely!) to swing the trip.
That's not counting the therapy I needed after seeing that gawdawful carpet. Or hearing that lame band that took up valuable bar seating.

Hmm. How to go about preventing that from happening again... Go into the bar early during the day and switch the outlet covers so that the plugs are covered? Get volunteers to hang out in the bar all day in the corner?
Must think on this.
I've always found the judicious use of high explosives works best for me. Solves the immediate problem, and lessens the possibility of any reoccurrences (in the short term, anyway).
