I guess I owe this board an apology. I'm sorry that I said anything about the fact that no body showed up at Fudds. I shoulda known that a meet has to have more than 3 hours notice to be valid. It was pretty crass of me to suggest that people should show up at all. I guess I don't have a life...sure, I have a marriage, 2 jobs, a fixer up home, 2 rolling restorations, a kid I am a "Big Brother" to, and enough side work to last 20 years...but no life! Hell, if I had a life I wouldn't have been anywhere near Fudds with only 3 hours notice!
And since I'm coming clean, here is another mortal sin I committed: I ATE BEFORE I WENT TO FUDDS, TOO! Heaven help me, but I was going to eat again! This is a crime that should be punished by DEATH! I should be beheaded...nah...BURNED AT THE STAKE! Well, I guess a hot stake is better than a cold chop!
So, I offer my humblest, most sincere apology. And I am also going to try and live by the words of wisdom that a few of you Dad-like figures posted. I know the lot of you have bazillions and gadzillions years of life experiences, so I'm gonna make ya'll my Cyber Dads! And today I did live by your examples:

1. A buddy of mine called me at 7:00 and asked me if I wanted to cruise Somerville at 9:00. I yelled "WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU, PINHEAD? THAT IS ONLY 2 HOURS NOTICE! YOU GOTTA GIVE ME MORE NOTICE THAN THAT! GOTTA BE AT LEAST THREE HOURS AND ONE MINUTE'S NOTICE!!"
And then I slammed the phone down so hard I cracked the base!

2. Another buddy stopped by and asked me if I wanted to go grab a pizza. I told him to go F' himself, 'cause I already ate!

3. My Old Man told me to stop by for a few beers and to watch the ball game. Well, because of that he is no longer my Old Man! The NERVE of him to tell me to come over for a few beers when he should dayum well know I have beer in MY FRIDGE! And he also knows I have a friggin' TV that I can watch games on! Well, that's OK, cause I have all my "new" Dads here!

Well, I feel like a new man! I have a new philosophy to live by! The philosophy of the NJFBOA lounge! I guess I won't be needing the books I just picked up about the philosophy of Objectivism! Teach me, O F body gurus of life! Shape me! Mold me! But please don't ask me to do anything w/o more than three hours notice!

Faster Than You: I owe you a beer or three! Maybe next weekend? That is more than three hours notice, right?
