The great back to back and belly to belly summit is on. Mr. Nick Spinelli and his lovely bride will be joining my wife and I at Marco Polo for some of the dishes they only know through blurry photos.
A full report and photo's will be posted if Mr. Spinelli agrees to be photographed.
(He is undercover in Wisconsin as a conservative so we don't want to screw it up for him)

We will of course strip down to our tighty whitey's and cavort in the sprinkler for your viewing pleasure.
He's slimmed down!
Both of us have.
Only beer. No more peanuts or bar pretzels.
Which one is Nick and which one is his "bride"?
I'm really confused by this phot.

Good plan. Just don't eat any of THESE. (read the reviews especially the first one, you will laugh your ass off)
I knew I could share this with a high class bunch of like minded people who will see the humor in it.
:-)
Words escape me...mainly because they were pushed aside by the vomit. If Nick won't consent to photographs, strap a video camera to his head for the evening. "Manhattan Gonzo Style."
It sounds like it will be EPIC!
What, not going back to the touchy feely pizza place? Nick could set up a wireless camera in the bathroom (over the sink!) to see if Lex Luther washes his hands.
All forms of documentation will be welcomed. This is a big step for me, a coming out party, as it were. I'm sure you'll all be gentle.
I'm currently in Bristol, Ct. Drove by ESPN on my way to visit some cousins. It's weird coming home. I used to come home often when my parents were alive. The last decade or so only for funerals. Nobody died for 3 years so I thought it a good time to visit w/o having to console. It was a good idea. However, I have not lived in Bristol since 1975. I am feeling old. That's 38 fucking years.
Nick, I hope you have a great trip.
I gotta get me one of those anorexia shirts....

Wow, I've been getting a little depressed because I turned 38 in May and my beard is streaked with white hairs.

It gets worse. I started greying around then and now I'm way more salt than pepper.

@DBQ That was a LOL. Fun story, beyond gross.
On a side topic, there's been a rumor circulating around these parts that SixtyG stands ready, waiting and willing to do creative things to your dying cherry. If that's true, you need to wander back to the Shreck thread and check out the pics of his awesome bowls to see if any of them stir your stumps.
Amazing pictures and work, Sixty G.
Thanks, MamaM - you are too kind. I appreciate the appreciation, if that makes any sense...
Dang! That sounds like a fun evening! Looking forward to the full report.
Gentlemen, If you have hair, be thankful.
Evi, Thanks, it has been great..just a bit melancholy yesterday. But, melancholy is ok in small doses.
A big night on the town with Troop and Lisa can't be described as melancholy!
It is not like ol dirty EBL and Merde are showing up!
I have never ever been tempted to go to NYC. However, a night out with Trooper, Spinelli and their beautiful and likely long suffering wives (/wink), as well as some of the others who frequent this joint, would be tempting indeed.
Well DBQ it is in Brooklyn not NYC.
Whole different thing.
Nick is even staying in Brooklyn to get a full taste of the bracole.
I bet you would get a kick out of Lisa telling you about the time she was going to punch the Evil Blogger Lady in the mouth.
Good times.
Too bad you held her back, just sayin'...
"Regrets...I had a few..."
What night is this shindig being held?
And DBQ - GREAT LINK!
That's 38 fucking years.
The best kind.
Why it is being on the perfect date. Friday the 13th.
That is truly scary.

My wife was happy when I finally got a couple of grey hairs near my temples a couple of years ago at 43. There are about four now. When I am well shaved and my hair is short, you can't even see them. Makes her a little crazy.
I have never ever been tempted to go to NYC.
DBQ, I'd never want to live there, unless I was super rich, but the place is definitely worth at least one visit. The place really doesn't sleep, and there's a bit of everything. Central Park even provides a bit of well-groomed nature. The only thing really missing are mountains, unless you live in the Jackie Chan version of New York.
This is going to sound weird, but did the sun just 'blink' anywhere else? All of a sudden it was dark outside, and then it was light again. The lights inside didn't waiver. And it got too dark for it to have been a plane passing overhead, and was too fast for a cloud. That was definitely weird.
You had a stroke - no big deal.
I meant to write - ALIENS!!! RUN!!!
Just the other day I noticed that there are a couple of whiskers in my beard that aren't white - what the hey? Where did they come from? I might get kicked out of the Garden Gnome Club!
I will say I did not have one grey hair before I got married.
Just sayn'
As for never being tempted to go to NYC, I went there once to buy stained glass with a friend. We drove into the city and I felt trapped, trapped, trapped. Like there was not enough space and too many people. Maybe the problem involved being in a car instead of on foot, because I did not have the same feeling while walking around Tokyo and using public transportation there.
For those kicked out of the Garden Gnome Club, there's this: The Fremont Under-the-Bridge Troll
That's me writ large - an all caps troll. I like it!
I used to go to the city all the time. Not so often these days. Too far away, my passport has lapsed and my shots are not current.
Like spinelli, I've got to get to NYC. I have to start teaching my class on Tuesday so that I can finally make some blessed money but I haven't been able to find even a temporary place there. So the plan is to try to "commute" from PA on Monday nights, stay in NYC somewhere then and return to PA on Friday morning. It's going to be a nightmare, but I have no other options at the moment. If anyone in the NYC area knows of a room to rent, drop me a line!
It's a bitch because at the moment I can't even afford the fucking Amtrak ticket to get to NYC from Harrisburg. I spent the little I had saved up doing a fruitless search for a room/roommate in August.

Troop has a garden shed. I've seen photos -- it looks spacious. He might let you use the bathrooms inside.
Geez. My beard started graying in my 20s.
