I’m going to that OIM party tonight.
9:08 am
I may be there.
9:15 am
I’m getting a spidergoat. I wonder if they have fainty spidergoats?
9:16 am
Going back for seconds on women dressed as Catholic School Girls?
Is that it, Mr Sparber?
9:23 am
As they stiffen into their myoclonic freeze (see, DeRusha, I learnt something!), they involuntarily squirt an amount of webby milk?
Now you’ve made fainty goats into something creepy and sinister.
9:32 am
I have a huge crush on Ginger. Hot stuff!!
9:35 am

Duh.
9:36 am
Yeah, well, when you put it like that.
Also, I just realized that the OIM party is, in fact, Overheard In Minneapolis and not some weird Harry Potter-related thing.
The Women Dressed As Catholic Schoolgirls Forecast, for Friday, July 13; chance of Catholic Schoolgirlism in North East Minneapolis this evening is 10% or less, rising to a high of 26% by 10pm, due to several bachelorette parties in the area.

Don’t we all?
9:42 am
Like omigod Max! That’s so gross!
9:43 am
I nominate teucer for MNspeak WDACSF Producer. That’d be fun in the sidebar. I’d like to know what to look forward to in the day.
9:47 am
Tuecer… Crucio! Levicorpus! Incarcerous!
9:53 am
Webby milk! OMG! Hahaha!
BTW, I’ll be there too after I get my hair did…
9:55 am
Can’t get enough spidergoat action on MNspeak? Enjoy this chilling yarn!

Now that is something that does NOT happen to me around women.

Happy Birthday, OIM. Have a Red Stripe for Bob at Mac’s tonight, teucer. I’ll be a a dirt track race in Sweetland. I wish I was kidding about the last part.

” I nominate teucer for MNspeak WDACSF Producer. That’d be fun in the sidebar. I’d like to know what to look forward to in the day.”
Well thanks, S4xton. A lot of people underestimate the importance of access to reliable WDACSG information. That’s why so many people get caught unprepared at the wrong time and place, like the last day of Reform School before a holiday, a Girls’ Gone Wild or Whitesnake video shoot, SwingStock 2007, in an extreme event we meteorologists have termed a “Chicknado.” Many of these woman are extremely ‘fast’ and some are even ranked on the Fujita-Kleinsberg scale as “wanton”.

” Tuecer… Crucio! Levicorpus! Incarcerous!”
Is this anything to do with why my left elbow is itching slightly? Because if it is, I’m going to buy some cream.
10:12 am
I won’t be able to celebrate OIM and Ang’s birthday in person tonight, but I send my regards!
10:14 am
I’m totally stoked for the OIM birthday party! I’ll try not to be there too early and be drunk when everyone else shows up.
Though, that might provide good OIM fodder …
10:20 am
By the way Max, it the “Greet Machine” not the “Green Machine.”
Off to a family reunion!

Would it be awkward if I showed up to the OIM thing? it’s so close to home … and I just got paid … and it’s friday … and there’s booze …
10:42 am
Thanks for the sentiments, Bob and Oliver.
I think it’ll be a pretty interesting mix of folks at this shindig, and I look forward to seeing/meeting anyone willing to show up! Especially if you’re buying me a drink.
10:53 am
Oh yes, happy birthday!
I’ll tell you in person if I make it tonight too.
11:46 am
“Would it be awkward if I showed up to the OIM thing? “
Maybe if you showed up in a Catholic schoolgirl uniform.
12:25 pm
Wait, what? So this is an open invite to all manner of random-blogosphere-crawlers???
Sweet! I’m totally there!
12:32 pm
Jess and I are totally getting Moz Sticks 2nite.
BTW, thanks for inviting ME to play dress up! Internet war is on!
Oh, wait. I don’t read Harry Potter. My nieces to do tho!
12:49 pm
i suggest you read them christine. If you hurry you can read the first six before the next one comes out. join us. moohahahaha.
2:17 pm
It’s an open invite to all manner of random-blogosphere-crawlers as long as nobody’s wearing a Catholic school girl’s uniform.
2:28 pm
Ecellent, Bellatrix, excellent.
2:28 pm
Oh. Okay.
*dejectedly puts plaid skirt back into the closet*
2:38 pm
I’ll be at the OIM party, too. Yay!
2:54 pm
*dejectedly puts plaid skirt back into the closet*
NO NO NO! Keep that one out!
2:56 pm
Egads, is the infamous KWatt to be drawn out from his lair tonight?
3:09 pm
Kevin joined thousands of fellow Twins fans at the Metrodome last night to kick off the Twins’ playoff push. Kevin then rested comfortably at his home and will return there later this evening after attending to various responsibilities. Kevin asks that everyone please respect his privacy at this time, unless she is wearing a certain outfit, which he declined to describe.
3:24 pm
hehe…gettin mah transubstantiation on tonite!
6:26 pm
Swear to God I was actually thinking of wearing a plaid skirt today.
But when I was actually IN Catholic school the skirts were dark blue, so I just figured plaid skirts were, uh, Scottish-looking or something.
5:22 pm
Good times at the OIM party last night. Sorry I missed Ranty and Erica. I only had one beer, but I was hopped up on goofballs enough to entertain all (and by all, I mean only myself). And once again, happy emeffin birfday to Ang!
2:40 pm
Thanks to everyone who came, it was a blast! You’re all good fun. I’ll be putting some pictures up on flickr later today.
Later that night, I totaled my car so the party was the highlight of an otherwise shitty ass weekend. Wee!
3:15 pm
Dang Ms. Ang! That’s terrible, but I am glad you appear to be alright.
Even though I had said I wasn’t going to be there, I was in the end, and I had a very good time.
Nice to meet many of you again, and a few of you for the first time. Crazy kids and your rock n’roll.
3:48 pm
Yup, no injuries. Just now looking for a new car.
4:23 pm
Well, that’s a pisser. Great party; sorry to hear about your car.
4:27 pm
Flickr photos up. Tag yerselves, I’m lazy!
6:27 pm
This is pretty much how I look all the time.
7:10 pm
As opposed to this expression? Jeepers, definitely not my best side.
