There are substantial gaps in my memory of Saturday night; for instance, I recall no cougar-related conversations with Mezla... although I do vaguely remember the cow suit. I sincerely hope I didn't kill anyone... Anyone important, that is...
It was great to meet you all, some for the first time and some repeat offenders...
And I really, really don't think I'll be drinking Aquavit again; it doesn't agree with me. And it should probably be illegal...

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

Malaclypse posting as Hetan because it would be a shame to end my official silence over this...
@Cougar: You would post unflattering photos of my half-naked self - I recall your look of disgust - but it's my house, I was hot and I couldn't give a freeze-dried fuck what you think so fuck you.
The way I describe this event to people in my regular life is that we partied like it was the end of the world. Unless I'm mistaken, it was our lowest turnout but it felt like double the number. I had no idea Macros was busily getting our dogs drunk and somebody broke a chair?! There was no way to retain control of the situation. I can't even be sure of the order of operations with regard to the pond explorations...my current understanding is that Macros went in first, don't recall if I berated him for it or even if I was aware of it - the red rage of being pushed into my own pond shortly thereafter scrubbed that bit from my mind. There is picture evidence of us both being in there together, which will no doubt appear here in the next day or two, but I have no memory of it. I remember being apocalyptically angry about it and that's about it. It's lucky he's such a loveable soul. All kidding aside, there's going to be a waiver next year.
Coming out into the garden on Sunday morning, it was like an alcohol-bomb had gone off and a tribe of angry hobbits had descended on the situation. In short, it was probably the best of the BBQ's we've had to date, which is saying something.

My least tasteless shirt, of course. The one I wore to my mate's wedding.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

I definitely didn't see this! But I wish I had.
I have had vague recollections of the gatecrashers over the last few days. Mainly the hilarity of how disappointed the buggers must have been if they gate crashed a party and then discovered it was populated with internet nerds. The mental image is priceless!
And Mal, your whole post made me feel remorseful until the last paragraph:
Upon which it became the best post EVER! You crack me up. You're a great host and I do feel a little bad that we may get over exuberent (I can't spell that). We can't help ourselves and I think I speak for everyone, if we do ever make ourselves too comfortable, it is only because you guys create such a relaxed atmosphere. You really are the best hosts *smarmy smile* I will endeavour to be less hungover next year so I can at least load up the dishwasher in the morning! And I know that's not what you meant by the post but you are both so good to us, it should be the least we can do!

I should very much like to second that! Especially as I became *ahem* "tired and emotional" somewhat earlier in the proceedings than I had envisaged. Mal and Hetan are the best, kindest hosts any collection of internet nerds (or indeed anyone) could ever hope for.
Next year I promise to lay off the aquavit (Although it is quite delicious)...

OK, I know I'm late for the party, but I've spent last week in Belgium, nursing the most epic hangover of my life, and trying to put together bits and pieces of memories from Saturday night, which was like putting together a 1.000 piece puzzle with some 900 pieces missing…
I mean – hey, what are you people complaining about…? Not remembering what you’ve said and done after midnight…? I can't even remember the cow-suit, although the pics above offer enough proof that I was standing just behind Mac while he was wearing it. And that was before midnight... Hangover? Headache...? Ha! You should have seen me on Sunday – my face a horrible shade of zombie-green, hyperventilating, hallucinating and clutching my plastic bag, while shouting at kids and Spanish tourists to shut up or else have my head explode and spill what's left of my brainz all over them... I guess Eurostar is going to add my photo to their "prohibited items" list after this trip...
But regarding those parts of the BBQ that I CAN remember:
First and most important, I want to thank Hetan and Mal for being most wonderful hosts in the world and putting up with us bunch of crazy people once again (probably against all that their past experience was supposed to teach them). A big thanks to both of you – you are awesome!
Further, a big hug for wonderful Mrs. Paleman, who was a lifesaver and a hero for helping us order a taxi and getting us home safe. It was a pleasure to meet you and Mr. Paleman again!
And last but not least – it was great to see you all girls and boys again, and to meet the new people. I am sorry I didn’t get the chance to talk more to some of you (and I apologize if I talked too much with most of you ) but it was a great evening and I love you all – I really, really do.
Oh, and loads of pics coming up in a bit...

The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.
