Hi guys. Anyone in silicon valley that wants to do an uncyc meetup? chron lonely and is looking for new friends ! --Chronarion 04:20, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I'd love to! Unfortunately I'm 3,000 miles away. Maybe I'll catch the next one? - T.L.B. WotM, UotM, FPrize, AotM, ANotM, PLS, UN:HS, GUN 04:26, Jan 24

Doh! Anyone else? – Preceding unsigned comment added by Chronarion (talk • contribs)

I have a silicon valley in my pants!

                                        Yours Truly,

I have an idea. We can load TLB in a cannon and set him to a 3,000 mile flight with lots of explosives. If he manages not to combust spontaneously at the 1,500 mile mark, he's all yours. Someone can take charge of the detonation, and I'll be supervising the procedure in the safety of a steel-reinforced bunker 100 feet below ground. -- The Colonel (talk) 05:13, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I have a gun that can launch him that far. Unfortunately, I'm currently 2,500 miles away from him. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 06:08, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I know! You could shoot yourself to where I am, and then we could have our own meetup and none of the other guys could be invited and they'd all be jealous because we got a meetup and they don't and even if they really really really wanted we wouldn't let them come because I heard one of them touched a girl once and girls have cooties so they have cooties now and we're cool and they're not so nyah. - T.L.B. WotM, UotM, FPrize, AotM, ANotM, PLS, UN:HS, GUN 04:48, Jan 25

I wish! On account of Satan and the liberal media, I'm not allowed off the compound no more. Plus, the ATF has surrounded the place. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 05:09, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, I grew up in the San Jose area. Unfortunately I'm an easterner like TLB now. Has the Oakridge mall burned to the ground yet? Any more doomed proposals to finally wrap BART around the bay? How's Michael Savage doing?--    09:59, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh it's all a big boring mess! --Chronarion 03:44, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

I'd probably go if some of my favorite writers were also going. pillow talk 10:54, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Heinlein and Asimov? That'd be awesome! Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 13:54, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

I wouldnt be around if Heinlein and Asimov are in the same room. Its like putting a drunk Irishman and a drunk Scot inside a telephone booth.--Nytrospawn 00:48, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Worst Dr. Who episode ever. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 03:53, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey Chron! I live in L.A.! I could totally be there... but I'm a minor, and I don't feel like being raped or anything, you know? Sorry. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} 16:31, Jan 27

But then you could write "That time I got raped by a Chronarion during my sojourn in Silicon Valley," and it would make your writing more authentic! pillow talk 16:40, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

"A" Chronarion? You mean there's more than one? • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} 16:44, Jan 27

Doesn't he have a number of clones wandering around? -Sockpuppet of an unregistered user 17:13, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Like The Island (but hopefully not so crappy)? Or the Starwars Prequels (but hopefully not so crappy)? Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 17:28, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

I also live in LA. I could probably take a train there or something... -RAHB 00:01, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

I live in the UK. I could totally read about it on here afterwards. If someone wrote about it, or something. --UU - natter 11:08, Jan 28

I could probably attend a UK meetup if I got six months' notice and enough people were going. I've always wanted to drink warm beer at a "public house," which, frankly, sounds like a restroom. pillow talk 23:34, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

I totally could do this, if I wasn't a minor and living in Wisconsin. Colin ALL YOUR BASEHeaney! Casa Bey Superfly Portfolio 02:01, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Somehow, I am totally unsurprised. • • • Necropaxx (T) {~} 23:48, Jan 30

Bailout?

Can we ask the government to give us a few thousand dollars to make the trip? If they can give the banks a couple hundred million, I'm sure they wouldn't mind giving us, a vital internet website, a few ten thousand! - Admiral Enzo Aquarius-Dial the Gate 18:27, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

No. First we have to lose an assload of other peoples' money. It's okay if we made money (personally, betting against the mortgages that we, personally, approved). The key is that we lost theirs. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 23:02, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Okay, Modus, I have a cunning plan. First, send me all your money. Then, I'll lose it. Then, the government will pay for my trip to Silicon Valley. Everybody wins!!! pillow talk 23:58, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

I don't have an assload of money. I don't even have a pantload of money. I could, however, use a variable-rate mortgage that I can't possibly hope to pay off. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 00:16, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Fries with that? - Admiral Enzo Aquarius-Dial the Gate 16:52, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

I think you yanks should start learning some serious lessions from your new president. I am not an American, but I do certainly know the meaning of the word "change".

Now, change? I need to take a flight to the Silicon Valley. -- The Colonel (talk) 15:23, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey, it's Chronarion

What's up Chronarion? -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​UU​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 01:36, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Seriously though, yes

Chron, I'm up in San Francisco and it wouldn't take much effort to get down to Silicon Valley, or vice versa. I'd definitely be up for a meetup, grabbing a drink or some such similar thing. Drop me an "E-mail this user" with some contact information. Same goes for anyone else in the Bay Area. --Sir gwax (talk) 00:46, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, from here in Reno, it's about a four hour drive, so attending really wouldn't be too much of a hassle for me. pillow talk 01:47, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
