Shoot down to the Acme Oyster House on the corner of Iberville and Royal.  Only a block or so from your hotel and they have oysters and Turbodog on draft

[saxonyron]

Get out of my thread, you old fogies.

Oh Shit!  Sorry bout that.  Forgot where we were for a minute. So, how's the car coming along?  At least the dirtbag dealer gave you the dough back. They figure they'll take their chances that 1 out of 10 people will be to cowardly to ask for the money, so they keep it.  It's worth a try...if you're a shitbag crook of a car salesman.

I'm on my way.  They're about a hundred yards from here.

I was kidding, I certainly don't mind.  I'll probably start a new thread once I get the beast.   Pickin' it up Friday!

that's sweet!  take a pic!

I will.  I won't be able to post here until probably Saturday (I'll be on the road all day/night Friday), but I'll prolly throw an iPhone picture up on Facebook that someone from here can link to this place.

I figured you were kidding, but I really did forget where we were.  I thought I was in the New Orleans GTG thread. 

Good luck on Friday.  Nothing beats that feeling of picking up a new car.  Well, almost nothing...

Turbodog is delicious.  My favorite Abita is probably their Red Ale.  Their Jockamo IPA is pretty decent, but a bit too sweet for my tastes when Im looking for an IPA. 

BTW if youre ever in NYC, Gingerman on E 36th has Abita sometimes.

I've only ever had the Turbodog.  I'll get to try the rest of them someday soon.  And thanks for the tip on Gingerman, I do find myself in NYC fairly frequently (friends and family there).

[TBR]

Mildly interesting is a very geeky way. 

The alternative is LOTR. Need I say more.

[SVT_Power]

Now I'm getting thirsty.  I might just slip out and grab a pint.

Or two? Or three?

[SVT_Power]

WTF is that all about?

After meeting you, I'm very skeptical about your supposedly delinquent ways before. And your claims of speeding have not been verified yet.

So all in all, you no cool. 

[the Teuton]

General impressions from all y'all:

-Nick: Much quieter than I was expecting, very much the same person from the forums but toned down
-Eddie: Perhaps it's because it was the first time meeting everyone, but you're quieter than I imagined, and not quite as stereotypically Asian -- which is a good thing
-Ron: Anyone with 37 kids has to have a good sense of humor, probably the sort of person you'd want to grab a pint with
-Dave: ForumDad, you have to wonder WTF he was like before he started taking Geritol

I was pretty tired from all the driving and what not and yeah I was probably more quiet because I had never met anyone (save for nick) there before.

And whaddaya mean "not quite as stereotypically Asian"

I mean, Asians only talk about two things usually: school and cars, mostly of a ricey nature. Have you seen Gran Torino? The little Hmong kid who hangs around with Clint Eastwood -- he's stereotypically Asian.

I don't even remember what I talked about during the GTG.

My dad and I had a very technical discussion about car engines and the future of the IC engine over dinner. My mom started to get ticked off and said "pay the bill and then come out after you guys are done" 

And really, I'm not that asian. I play hockey and ultimate frisbee (the two whitest sports around IMO)! I don't really have an accent either.

Oh and, yes I have seen the movie. Great flick btw.

My old roommate was stereotypically Asian: "Yo, dude, I just ordered an intercooler for the E30. Yo, I really miss my 500 hp Supra, with an HKS [blah blah]....

[15 minutes later]

Yo, dude, I'm going to drop a 2JZ into my E30..."

That. Was. The. Extent. Of. Every. Fucking. Conversation.

No, you're not stereotypically Asian 'cause it would either be about rice boyz crap or how your life is incomplete because you didn't get into an Ivy League school.

Takeaway: this is a good thing. Feel fortunate you're not.

I get what you're saying now.

[saxonyron]

Or two? Or three?

Eh, just 2.  And I never got to Acme's Oysters - about 30 people waiting in line on the sidewalk to get in.  So I ended back up in the hotel bar.  Still a good place to be.

Did you search for a tranny hooker?

Hey Jake, FWIW, you were pretty much exactly as I figured you would be.  And yes, I'm hilarious. And since Dave is about my age, you'd better lay off the "Geritol" jokes or we'll both open up a can of Whoop-Ass on you at the next GTG.

[saxonyron]

  Hell, on Bourbon Street, the tranny hookers search for you.  And I'm sure I saw a few these past few days, but just didn't notice.  There is one hell of a cast of characters down here!

Bring it, Andre!

And is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Next time you come here, I'm serving you dog food....

Actually, you have hit a raw nerve.  I think my job is aging me terribly.  My old boss retired 2 months ago, and I heard he looks 5 years younger already.

[dazzleman]

Delinquent ways? 

We were going a bit over 80 mph on the way to the train.  Or did you not notice, because you're so used to driving falling apart rustbuckets that feel like 80 mph when you're doing 40? 

[Raza]

I think Eddie is still mad because you beat up on him for being a slacker.  He's venting.  Not sure why he's laying the beat down on me, though.    Although he did say I was "pretty cool", so I guess that's a start.

He based that on actual body temperature.  With as little hair as you have left, your body heat dissipates much faster than it does for a normal person.

[Raza]

I've only ever had the Turbodog.  I'll get to try the rest of them someday soon.  And thanks for the tip on Gingerman, I do find myself in NYC fairly frequently (friends and family there).

Ha!  I've been there.  Famous for its beer selection, I drank bourbon all night long.  Mostly Basil Hayden.

If we're talking about losing body heat due to lack of hair, Dave would be iceman...

Luke happy hour! $.50 oysters and half-off drinks!

I sure hope I'm invited for a beer with you and Ron later. I've got these projects due today and tomorrow, but I should be able to do something for a bit tonight.
