Well, I'm here. I made it back.
Things I could have done without:
I'm not sure that 2 McGriddles were necessary. (and considering they didn't stay down all that long, apparently, they weren't)
The SUPERHAPPYTOBEALIVE business traveler guy who wanted to talk to me this morning on the plane about how, "Gosh, this is an early flight!" Go away. When was your last shot? If it was more than 2.5 hours ago, I have nothing to say to you.
The cop that followed me the entire length of the toll road on my way to the office. How embarrassing it would've been to get a DUI this morning. My parents would have been so ashamed.
Anyway - last night was so much fun. Everyone was as cool and fun as I imagined and then some. I am now even more excited for the Spring Conference, though, my liver is cringing at the thought. I need to start conditioning now.
So team, how is everyone curing their hangovers today? I definitely have plans to cut out of the office early, but since I no longer have food in my tummy, I'm going to need to eat something. I haven't put my finger on exactly what, but I can guarantee it won't be a ham/mustard/relish sandwich.
WFL?

Madame Presidente, I am so proud of you. You inspire me. You make me want to a better drinker and dedicated partier. This morning I kept waking up and bemoaning that I had to go to work today. But then I'd think "ethics has to be on her way to O'Hare right now, glad it's not me." Or half an hour later, "Ethics has to be on the plane right now, sucks to be her."
I'm actually not that bad this morning. If I could sleep a couple extra hours I'd be perfect. Just sipping on some tea right now, I don't think food would help quite yet but maybe in an hour or so.
The title of this post is perfect, my hair smells wretched.
LaChoi hugged me this morning and was like, "Duuuuudddee... you smell..."
I can barely drink this Diet Coke.
I feel like last night flew by. There was so much we never got to! I want to do it all over again, sans the 6am flight and being at the office right now, of course.
We didn't even eat burritos! I am proud to say that it was Jo, Lester and I that were the last ones standing last night. Rico stumbled out not long after you, to allegedly get a little something-something but I think he puked and/or passed out.
I didn't sleep until I got on the plane, and I puked when we landed - but I did that on purpose to sober up.
The biggest flaw in my plan was that I was still drunk when I got back to DC and had to drive from Dulles into the city. Not good at all.
In retrospect, I should have stayed at the bar with you guys. Not because the end of my night was bad or anything, but just because it's always weird when you're drunk and you go crashing into someone who is neither drunk, nor awake. It made me feel uberdrunk.
I think I need to eat soon. I don't know what or where, but food is on the agenda.
OH, and the best thing - coming back here, from Chicago: the 30 degree DC weather felt positively balmy!
yes, i hugged prez this morning and got a whiff of cigarette smoke, puke, and mcgriddle. mmm mmm good.
i myself came into work half drunk from the night before. i think that i tried to party with you all "in spirit" last night since i was unable to go to chicago. needless to say, i was hurting very much walking into the office this morning. i had to have a mcdonald's large coke plus the sausage egg mcmuffin just to cope. grease fights hangovers.
yes, lunch. what to eat, what to eat...
I seriously think I only have it in me to stay until 2 or so.
Good God, I'm tired. And I can't believe after all of this insanity, I have to drive home to the 'burgh tomorrow.
Must sleep 16 hours tonight.
You should have stayed with us at the Old Town Ale House, then you could have listened to Rico talk about his, and I quote, "horse cock."
Jo's on a plane on the way back to DC for his office holiday party. I talked to him from our respective airports this morning. He's not doing any better than anyone else.
I wanted to eat burritos, but we ran out of time. I did eat a chip with sour cream though. Which reminds me - I should have eaten more last night...
Sounds like Ethics had a good ol' time with Chi-Town's finest. Wish I coulda been there.
My lunch will likely be on the healthy side, get some more greens in me before the food starts instinctively flocking to my mouth like the salmon of the capistrano. yummm, saaaaallmooonnnn. Maybe that's lunch
Joking or not joking, it doesn't matter, when you say funny shit around me, it's going to be repeated.
I could have used a burrito last night. I am almost to the point where I need something to eat.
Lester is conspicuosly absent as well, I see.
Uh, thanks for sharing. Blecch.
Lester is conspicuously absent... very interesting.
I just ate a plain croissant. I'm almost ready for more, real food. But instead, I'm downloading the user manual for my phone so I can figure out how to make it not be in French. Thanks for that, HorseCock. (Interestingly, "Horse Cock" is a common insult in Hungarian - "Lo Fasz"; once I was coming back through US customs and the officer was like, "Hungary? I had a Hungarian fencing instructor once. LO FASZ! LO FASZ! That's the only thing I know." It was very weird.)
yes, rico is saying now that i should be excited to meet him and his horsecock...i'm more scared than anything else.
hey, ethics, abs can probably help you fix your phone. she speaks french.
i need greens too. my sausage egg mcmuffin is now wreaking havoc to my innards...must evacuate soon.
also, i think that in the spirit of WFL and the great partiers that we are, there needs to be another reason to get together. how about new york city in january??? i have the perfect excuse, which is my friend's annual party and fundraiser, which i e-mailed to some of you today. it's january 14th. check it out at www.jamiesball.com and let's all make a weekend of it! what do you all think???
Update. My phone is now in English. Rico, I will never know how you managed to do that and not find all the naughty pics on there in your state.
ugh.
rico, are you challenging me with your horsecock? i may run away in fear.
ethics and i will lunch together and find out some sort of cure to our hangover woes. more on that soon.
la choi is on the case...
Is it possible that I am too tired to eat?
woke up and promptly did what I like to call and "#2 and spew".
Just got to the office and played santa. Damn it feels good to be so damned good.
Big boss just made me a very happy man as well.
secret santa party in the next 10 minutes, office holiday party starts at 3. No drinking for me.
Have I mentioned how much I hate Koon's Ford?
They've got three hours to redeem themselves.
Great seeing everyone last night. Brian has definently made the "drinking with" rotation. JIf Jade hadn't made the smart move and said it was time for the final three to call it a night I'd still be passed out in my hotel room.
looks like no lunch on the horizon by the way.
Nice meeting all of yinz last night. We'll have to do it again sometime.
Kiki and I closed out the evening with tacos el pastor at Arturo's. I couldn't figure out why the cashier was smirking at me until I realized I was wearing my hat. "El Diablo! El Diablo!"
I'm in pretty good condition this morning. Then again, I didn't get up until 10. How did that old Army ad go? "We do more before 9am than most people do all day"? Yeah, that's how I feel after reading today's posts.
Oh man, I am starving all of a sudden. A coworker just called and told me he would bring me lunch and is going to Manny's. I want matzoh ball soup, corned beef [NOT the extra lean, I like it a little fatty] on a kaiser, a pile of new dill pickles and maybe a little potato salad and a Dr. Brown's black cherry soda. Ugh. I'm ravenous. Why did it suddenly kick in?
I'm eating clementines at my desk while waiting for my food. I want it NOW!
I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge one of la choi's posts from yesterday:
"monkeys are awesome. especially when they are in movies. i say any hit comedy film has to have all three of the following things:
1) fart humor
2) midgets
3) monkeys
in other words, monkeys ARE to be trusted."
AWESOME.
Please tell me you've seen "Night Patrol" and "Going Ape!"
Ms. Jade had a plan early on to take notes, I'm assuming that never happened...
brian, i have not seen those movies, and i am going to hurry home after work and rent them. they are sure to be classics.
ethics, you SO called that one yesterday.
and, i must eat lunch. i'm now ravenously hungry too. perhaps it's b/c it smells like beef stew in the office right now.
la choi, you might have a hard time finding them at your local video store.
Here's a tease: "Night Patrol" features a farting Billy Barty (say that five times fast) and The Unknown Comic from "Gong Show" fame.
"Going Ape!" stars Tony Danza and three orangutans.
You might be able to catch the Danza fest on one of the HBOs sometime. Set your TiVo accordingly.
If movie tastes were genetic, I would think that Brian and LaChoi share a gene that makes them have the EXACT same movie tastes.
After xmas, LaChoi and I will have an afternoon triple feature of:
Night Patrol
Going Ape!
Trapped in the Closet
We will end the day much dumber than when we started it.
Good morning!!!!
Hey, if you wake up at noon, when's lunch? Me and my little white guy cock would like to know.
I'm eating a beef salad. Yep, a beef salad. Not like a salad with slices of beef, but rather chicken salad, but instead of chicken, it's beef. It's weird, but I like it. There is also potato/leek soup on the agenda.
And root beer. Because that's what my father taught me to drink after a long night of boozin'. (well, that and butter milk, but I just can't do that one. Sorry, Dad.)
got ethics to go get food at breadline since it is so close. i proceeded to get the salad and was disappointed that cous cous was on their website but not actually being served. this threw my lunch plans off and i had to quickly decide what to get. i opted for some roast beef salad thing and a nicoise salad.
then i realized that both of them had potatoes mixed in AND it comes with a roll AND i was thinking of getting the potato leek soup! potato, potato, potato, and bread??? as much as i love carbs, i thought that i'd turn into a potato if i bought everything i wanted. so instead, i just kept the salad, so it is now potato, potato, roll so i didn't feel like a total carboholic. however, i asked if i could dip my roll into ethics' potato leek soup (which she thought was some sort of pick up line) so that i could at least have one bite of soggy roll con soup goodness...dipping bread in soup is amazing.
I think the drinking went as long as it could. I think I drank a floater at the end of the night. Did we close the OTAH?
Ethics indeed rocks. Two regrets:
1) No tater tots.
2) I intended to say at some point "we need to call La Choi." Did I? Did we? If not, you were there with us in spirit, La Choi.
Awww... Lester, you're too kind! All around, I say we're one rockin' group of people. I do regret not bringing my grinch hat so el diablo could have a friend.
All morning, I've had "Hey 19" in my head, but that just switched to the Rod Stewart song, "Infatuation" but instead of "Infatuation" in my head, it's "Evacuation" I need help.
SS - you guys missed more shots, more beers, some Steely Dan and Brian, Kiki and El Diablo. And Jo's friend, who I was way too drunk to meet, but did anyway, thus surely leaving a magnificent first impression. Apparently we both missed extensive talk of rico's horse cock, but somehow, I think we got the better end of that deal.
My lunch order came back pretty much completely different from what I ordered, but close. I received pastrami on an onion roll, potato pancake, pickles and a ginger ale. It was pretty freaking fantastic. Manny's is a gem.
We left OTAH after 3:30, but before they announced last call. Jo and Lester were drinking the remnants of everyone's abandoned beers.
I have a confession: I threw up after the last shot of Jaeger at Goldstar. Not a huge, empty your guts puking, but probably the whole shot. I excused myself to the bathroom and never mentioned it upon my return. It made me feel like a total light weight, but it sounds like I'm doing the best of anyone hang over wise so it probably saved me. I feel great right now, only problem is I left my smokes in the coat pocket I was wearing last night so I need to make a run to White Hen.
and jo, big boss made you a happy man? how? did s/he give you a lap dance? come on...i can't believe no one else caught that! such a low hanging fruit.
mmmmm......carbs.......
Got NUTHIN' in the fridge. I'm going to have to venture out. The Cajun side of Rajun Cajun sounds pretty good. Ooo...Harolds for lunch! Ok, I'll try to report back. This 'puter is shite, though. Email and blogging is very frustrating. Might have to call it an e-day.
Why do I have missed calls on my phone from Jo at 3:30 am? Weren't we still together at that time?
I kept meaning to take notes on the barf bag that ethics wrote "Will work for tater tots" on, but I couldn't find a pen and then I'd forget, and you know, I suck.
The Jade is a total lightweight. I didn't throw up till 6:45 AM.
What a pansy.
Did anyone actually take pictures last night?
There is no shame in bootin' and rallyin'. I'm actually surprised I didn't do the same, but for some reason all the yummy brown booze just went down so gooooodddd.
I am disappointed there was no burrito eatin'. Next time, rico, next time.
I'm not lunching for another hour or so, but I think I'm going with the Malibu from the chicken place down the street.
Grilled chicken breast with sauteed mushrooms, mozzarella, lettuce & tomato on a toasted bun. Side of mashed. Yeah, that'll work.
I can only imagine how odd this horse cock talk was with the strains of Cannonball Adderly and Dexter Gordon in the background at the OTAH. With the right inflections and Jameson soaked vocal cords you guys could take Ken Nordine's "word jazz" concept to a whole different (and perverse) level.
I made it my personal mission to make sure everyone got home ok.
Jade and Ethics were the only two (of three) who didn't respond. I assumed their silence had something to do with horsecocks.
I'm shocked and impressed that the barf bag made it back to DC with me and is sitting on my desk as we speak.
For the record, I felt pretty sober until Rico left. Then I could feel my mind begin to melt. Got back to the hotel and promptly ordred a turkey club and a hot fudge sundae. Immediately after ordering I locked myself out of my room, shirtless, while trying to put my dinner tray in the hallway.
What an asshole.
to the tune of "smelly cat":
horse cock, horse cock
what are they feeding you
i'm delirious. i need sleep, because i have to work tonight at the wine store. urgh. i want to walk out and go home. i don't think anyone will notice. there's only 4 other people in the office today.
jo - hahahahhah! that's some funny shit. i wish it were caught on tape.
Oh, dear, Jo. That is hilarious. What did you do?? How did you remedy that?
(LaChoi and I can hear each other laughing down the hall)
And then the shirtless asshole tried to explain why his driver's liscence photo looked like a young black Frank Beamer only to be interrupted by the room service guy with the sandwich, the ice cream and a bowl full of hot fudge.
And I forgot to mention the 5 minute conversation with the room service lady who was trying to convince me to drink the ginger ale from the mini bar instead of ordering one from room service.
I don't see any missed calls or messages from the time frame you're talking about, and if my phone had rung, emitting the strains of the OC theme, I would remember...
I left long concerned messages for you both. Oh well.
again, i cannot stop laughing at jo with his shirtless self, hot fudge probably smudged on his face like a little kid looking bewildered.
and of course, jo has not answered my question as to how big boss made you very happy today.
very happy.
Happy Ending happy?
why's it always got to be nasty ethics?
Hey, there was no ass kickin' last night... some folks owe each other a beatin'.
Hey ethics, here's that link about the ghosts at the Gold Star:
http://www.lakeclaremont.com/morehaunts/excerpt1.htm
Bah! stick a tm after the h at the end of that link.
Good choices on the bars last night; seeing a ghost would have been a cherry on top. It would be kind of cool to die in a bar and haunt it. I like the sound of that for my afterlife plans.
Luis, Welcome! Are you asking if the women or the horsecock were/was small, medium, or large?
Jeez, I guess we'll have to get burritos at the Big HORSE Lounge next time.
Obviously the Big Horse is now a stop on the conference tour. Perhaps we should incorporate horse cock into the WFL logo/motto?
I HIGHLY recommend Well Dressed Burrito. That place is GREAT. I was skeptical b/c it's kind of in that alley, but that place is fantastic. Get the dessert-y chips w/ the cinnamon and sugar. Yummy.
Hey, are the DC WFLers lunching tomorrow?
By the way, Luis and Rico, what is WET?
Jo, you need to get our old friend from EL to join us on OWFL. I need for him to explain to me how Al Queda is the New Left.
It's because they hate Christmas just like all the other lefties.
(I would like to point out that Chicagoans don't seem as out to destroy xmas as District denizens. Yinz's shit was all lit up w/ green and red. Good God fearin' people out there in the midwest. Nice job.)
whenever i see "wet" i think of that gay strip club here in dc in SE. if you think about it, rico liking "wet" now can be thought of on so many more levels.
the horse cock would go over well there.
are there dc wflers left tomorrow to eat lunch with? i will be around, but i thought you were leaving for the 'burgh manana ethics?
Lefties don't hate Christmas. You just said it yourself, this town is all decked out in holiday spirit and we are one of the leftest leftie cities there is. This is Daley town.
I don't know about the logo, but I think I have the WFL theme song:
"Grease Only" by Creepy D
I'm working on getting the lyrics, possibly some sort of sound file too (I'm clueless when it comes to music online)
Yep! I represent the west side suburbs (Moon). You'll hear me wax on about Eat 'n Park, Primantis and Pierogies Plus. We've also got a Youngstowner on Board. But, Rico, I'm actually a Ravens fan (I know, I know) - so there's still only one Stillers fan around.
eating chocolate to stay awake. teeth hurt from too much sugar consumption today. dear lord, i'm feeling icky.
it's a box of see's candies that i'm consuming...i thought it was strictly a west coast thing, but apparently, you can get it around the holidays in parts of the east coast. good to hear, i guess. but i hope they do not do that to in-n-out. that's a cali thing and must stay that way.
am i the only west coaster representin' up in this piece?
might i also add that we are up to 96 (and now 97) comments today?

I suppose that's more of a "had to be there" song.
brian, fan-fucking-tastic! were we separated at birth? seriously.
I dunno. My Mom always said they found me on the side of the road.
As "manager" of the band I'll have to incorporate a Creepy D show into the spring WFL conference in Chicago.
Those guys are passionate about el pastor.
Don't get too comfy with another 'Burgh WFL'er on the board, just remember the Michiganders on this board still have a sizeable majority.
WE NEED SOME MORE WEST COAST REPRESENTATION!!!!!!!!! (i feel alone.)
I can't imagine what kind of genes could form both LaChoi (wee, excitable Korean girl) and Brian (giant, mellow, white boy) That would be some family.
e-que, the thing I noticed the most was yesterday's 7 hour decision making process on where to go. Because we all know, if you're drinking w/ Jo in DC, you're going to Bravo, followed by Angles, and if it's a really wild night, you could end up at Chief Ikes. It's so simple. There would have been 5 comments yesterday and no surveys necessary. Of course, this is b/c Chicago is faaaarrrr better drinking town than DC.
There were many brown shots consumed; no tequila that I recall. I popped my Old Style cherry. Apparently there was a lot of horse cock talk. I discovered that in many ways, Brian and LaChoi were separated at birth. Many new drinking buddies were found.
Nights like that make me sad about DC's lack of dive bars.
Don't forget that I got to see ethics boobs and despite Jo's protestations that he doesn't dance, I saw him bobbing and shaking a little ... as soon as he walked into the first bar of the night. I also proved that I am not a northside no-leaver by venturing to Bucker Park, and I have to say Goldstar is a primo bar.
I also lust for Brian's el diablo hat, and the Bucker Park debate was calm and well mannered despite Jo trying to egg me on.
if you came to the mount, you'd see more divey-ness. NW is where it's at you know.
There are dives in NE! (well, SE to be exact, but in my hood!)But even the dives in your hood just aren't the same. DC just isn't a corner dive bar kind of town.
for me, i just need one that is near my house. and right now, i have 3. they could be your three too if you lived on the mount.
oops...the link is supposed to be the mount's friendster profile. she has one...it's cool.
Sigh, I'm so jealous with all the chi-town talk. :-( Although I am not jealous of the Jameson's talk. Shudder. I am off to see 'Wicked' tonight. Opening night! I feel so fancy. Have fun in the 'Burgh, Ethics! See you when you're back! La Choi - are you back on the WC for Xmas? I need to go out soon. I was out of town and then sick. Blasted weddings and illsnesses and non-denominational holidays ruining my weekend fun. Oh well. I'll have to settle for getting drunk with the family.
I love Stoney's! I agree - an OWFL visit is in order. I remember them saying they were going to close it about a year ago, when I worked on that block, I'm glad to see it squeezed out another year.
It'll be a sad day. That stretch is so empty, and now all that's left there is Post Pub and that other place, that seems to house a kabob place, a hair removal place and a disco, all in the same building.
