it was a pleasure meeting all of those who attended. sa uulitin!

ONE BIG FIGHT!

ps. to miss d & Ghostrider kayo na bahala kung gusto nyo ilagay yung link dito sa thread. cheers!

hi guys,

hope u could send me some picks thru PM. thanks.

it was nice seeing everyone there. tama si ghostrider. tahimik nga ang atenista.net that night kasi yung mga pc-babad nasa katips.

yo, mhel garrdio! where were you!

Had a blast last night. Glad to have finally met all of you.

I sent the email containing both the link to the pictures and our directory.

If you don't get the email, it probably means I scr*wed up reading your handwriting and got the information wrong.

If so, my apologies. Please PM me the correct information and I will forward same to you.

Until our next gathering . . .

Cheers!

Yup, it was great to meet you all Upper Box, thanks for the CD, I'm listening to it right now.

Some highlights of the evening:

1. Maverick's account of the death of **** Gordon's eagle
2. The pics of the Blue Eagles on Edu Manzano's show
3. The Raffle!
4. All the stories and jokes (including, dare I say, the tripod joke! Hehehe )

Feel free to add your own

Thanks for posting the pics, Pizza Guy. Regards to Pizza Gurl

hey! hope u can send some of the pics to me as well.... thanks!

To protect the credibility of ... certain people ... we swear never to say who the tripod jokes came from. ok? :-)

Great seeing all you guys. Hope to make it a regular pre and postseason thing. (Offseason excuses to convene the group for a beer, I'm still coming up with). It goes without saying that if any of you are in my part of the world, please look me up, or else I'll be terribly offended. We can sample the wonderful beers of greater China and beyond, and talk about all things blue and white.

Am taking suggestions for the next thread essay here. Or if you have anything earthshaking to discuss that can't wait for a consensus, start a thread and we'll help you get the ball rolling.

To everyone who got a CD from me -- enjoy. Hope it fills an enjoyable hour in your lives at least. miss d, I know you're a Norah Jones fan but a litle old-timer music in small doses never hurt anyone.

BTW, allblue couldn't make it because of a death in the family. Sayang, allblue, and condolences. Catch you next time.

hey miss d i actually have that pic showing Maverick's reenactment of the dead eagle story. hehehe! Mav pwede ba ipakita sa kanila? di naman scandalous yung pic

twas great meeting everyone! to the mods, keep up the good work! (and thanks for the shirt)

Pizza Guy: thanks for the VCDs, galing! i watched the 4 games straight today hehehe.

Ghostrider: i got the email, thanks!

Just got back from last night's little shindig Homeys! Dumerecho kami sa ibang gimik ni Janescoundrel. Hope we do get together again and hopefully with an even bigger participation from all of the other Blue Hoops Junkies. Upper Box, I might be in your town sometime first 15 days of December, but nothing's definite yet, depends on my boss's schedule. BK and Ghostrider, hope I can catch some of the ABL games, maybe you guys can gimme the skeds when they come out.

Dear All,

Thanks for honoring the invitation to the 14 Beers Project. It was a truly enjoyable evening. I hope to do it again soon. It was very good to finally put faces to the nicknames of some of the most intelligent and thought-provoking post-ers on this forum.

Special thanks to Ghostrider and OrigFemaleBabble for putting it all together, miss d and chief atenista for the raffle items, and UpperBox for coming up with the original threads.

It was a most enjoyable and memorable evening. For 5 hours on a Saturday night, I actually felt young again. Thanks for the ride!

I never told the whole story on the dead bird until last night. Hope it goes a long way in exorcising some ghosts in the long buried past.

And now, for a few messages:

1) PizzaGuy/PizzaGurl - Thanks for the vcd's. Haven't seen those games in years. Again, I felt transported to another era just by seeing those images. The only dark spot in seeing those games is hearing the commentary of Freddie Abando and Sal Marte again. Thank god Philippine sports commentary has actually progressed since those days.

And, no, PizzaGurl, you may not show the picture referred to. Have a heart!

2) allblue - Condolences on your loss. I regret to hear the news. Hope to see you in happier times.

To all, have a great week ahead! Ingat.

Know what? I just realized something -- we actually forgot to do the toast to the Eagles during the 14 year drought!

I think this omission calls for another gathering.

Ei guyz,

If ever you'd be dropping by the link of our 14 BP pics, try clicking the "all galleries" link. There are some pics there that you may find kinda interesting, and even very funny...

Cheers.

LOL...

Thanks to all the folks who attended the 14BP! It was really nice meeting you all. Let's do that again!

And let's invite **** Gordon during the next one to get HIS side of the dead eagle story! hehehe...

Adding my thanks to everyone who showed up :)and condolences to allblue

I was very glad to socialize with real people. I don't get to talk to people face-to-face that much anymore! (And it was great to see Pizza Gurl again. I wouldn't be surprised if she was actually in the caf with me on the day Miko de Villa tried out for the BBB.)

Re: pics of the Sockless One - LOL! Priceless! He is going to get it from me the next time I see him: the mullet, the lack of socks, and the fact that everyone on TV saw him in an Ateneo t-shirt

Re: the tripod joke - people, it just goes to show how intelligent Ateneans are. Someone was obviously paying attention during Chemistry lab :cool:

Should have joined you guys in Country Waffles -- I blew out my right front tire on my way home if I'd gone through Ortigas (assuming I was coming from Libis) I would not have had to contend with indefinite highway-sidewalk boundaries :mad:

This definitely merits a repeat!

EDITED to add: Also confirming receipt of the e-mail and PM containing the link. Thanks, Pizza Guy! Will view the pics on a better-resolution PC.

EDITED again to put in a space between "Pizza" and "Gurl"

CHEMISTRY Lab? Did I miss anything? I'm calling an emergency conference RIGHT NOW on just exactly how people understood the tripod joke. Because it boggles my mind that there may be alternative meanings to the one I imagined! :-)

Carrot: Settle into this couch. Look into this pendulum. You are falling asleeeeep....
:-)

I understood the tripod joke :cool: It just amazes me how someone would think of a piece of lab equipment to make such a comparison hence the Chem lab comment.

Does that clear things up for you? *blinks hopefully*

I didn't know they used tripods in chem lab. I was thinking more along photography lines :-)

Hope the tire-changing wasn't too much of a hassle.

Hee, maybe not in a proper chem lab, but we used them all the time in high school when all we had were alcohol burners. (Sometimes they had four legs...go figure.) But yeah, the photography analogy works too :cool:

Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever used a Bunsen burner.



No, it wasn't. Thanks

LOL! anyway, just tell me if you wanna have a copy of the file as a souvenir

twas great seeing u again too! 5FootCarrot pala ah. i'm also trying to remember if we were together at the caf during his tryout. caf after english class dba?

Yup ...but on second thought, I may also have been with my blockmates then. Mejo puno yung mga araw ko MWF in those days...

Re: Maverick's eagle pic, is that why there was a "You must login as pizzaguy" instead of an image at one point? Hehehe.

Just dropped my roll of film with the photo shop next door. Planning to post the results on my Yahoo photo page by end of the day. Will try to mail out the links this evening. My only regret is that I failed to take a photo of a little noticed but highly spectacular action sequence involving ... a certain person ... accidentally spewing out a small bit of food while laughing ... onto the head of another certain person. Mwahahahaha. Hope you all shampooed when you got home!

[ November 25, 2002: Message edited by: Upper Box ]

exactly. hehe! the pic is included in the gallery, but it's not viewable to the public.

...And it's only me and Pizza Gurl who can view it...

...unless Maverick agrees..."for the love of the game..." LOL!

let's put it to a vote...
i vote that we should see the pic!

Di na kami kasali sa voting...
Nakita ko na eh...
Kayo na lang...

So do I!

That's 2!

Ah, how beautiful! Democracy at work -- against me! Are you guys sure you want to see THAT photo. It's the stuff of nightmares, believe me.

Tell you what, we can view it at the next 14 Beers. I think we need to have one if only to explain the tripod joke to Carrot.

Carrot, we were right in front of you when we said the whole joke about the tripod. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that we can readily convince the joke teller to repeat the tale. We also regret hearing about your little incident after the 14 Beers. Hope that didn't get you into trouble with your folks. Bring the Sockless One along next time. The photos we brought along were printed in the Aegis 90. We'll see if we can bring along a copy next time.

Are those the Edu pics? If so, you want me to scan it para ma-upload?

I'm pretty sure I got the tripod joke. I was merely commenting on the brain capacity it took for the person who first used "tripod" to apply the image of lab/photo equipment to the particular condition under discussion.

Sorry, but it is very hard to express myself properly without incriminating anyone



It panicked my mom, but she hasn't come back from Baguio to yell at me yet and my dad called the next evening to find out how I got home. Buti he didn't call while I drove my sister to watch the Harry Potter movie for the second time.

Re: "next time," you sure you want to see the Sockless One there? He might bring a yantok along

Just dropping by to say hi to everybody. It was such a pleasure getting to know all of you. It just shows no matter from what decade you're from (sorry to those who were still able to remember the NCAA days vividly), we can all have a great time together. Thanks to the two gentlemen who picked up the tab. Next time ulit... :)First round is on me this time.

I wonder who started the "Tripod" thing... hmm...

Better than seeing **** Gordon around who may still be out for revenge for that little incident in '89!

Re: the "yantok" incident -- Have you asked him about the veracity of this incident?

...and without revealing what/who the whole tripod thing is all about! LOL

Sorry to hear about your car trouble, Carrot. Glad to hear you made it home safe

allblue: My condolences Hope to see you at the next gathering.

Hi to everyone

Hi all. Please look in your message boxes. Use the second version of the message I sent you. A typo in the first message renders the link useless. If I forgot anyone who was at the party, my apologies, please let me know.

Enjoy.

Not yet. He's hiding from me :cool:

Thanks for the pics, UB.

dang. I missed out on this. I was out of town. I'm sure you guys had a blast.

And a happy birthday to Maverick, friend of endangered species everywhere. Drinks all around, pare.

happy birthday Maverick! cheers!

Yo Mav, Happy Birthday! Cheers!

HBD Mav!

A round of beer for everyone here! Can't wait to see your next stand-up comedy show!

Cheers!

Thanks a lot guys. Next round of beers (or scotches) is on me. Can't think of a funnier story to top the eagle story but I'll try to figure something out.

Thanks for the greetings again!

Maverick, there are funnier stories. Trust me. We're still waiting for the full scoop on when you proposed to the girl at Loyola Center.

Happy Birthday, Maverick! Have a good one!

Happy Birthday Mav!


Ghostrider:

My bro says hi... that you guys saw each other daw during the bonfire.

Whoops...have been AFK (Away From Keyboard) these past two days and am on my way out again. Belated Happy Birthday, Maverick! *throws confetti*
