Author Topic: Success of ShoWest Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 03-12-2003 03:56 PM                        Gheeezz, Michael I thought you really killed Phil. I was planning on borrowing his head and turning it into a unique bowling ball. I would venture to guess that putting my index and middle finger into the eye sockets and my thumb into the nose..well no question I would bowl a perfect 300 game. Guess what ? I'll drink a Martini to that...matter of fact I will make an extra and pour it in Phil's mouth.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Just the fact that I've been rooting you on and my display of disappointment in your failure could probably land me in trouble if something did happen. Plus I'd get screwed by some hotel charging a ridiculous rate if I ever make it to LA, not having anywhere to stay for free.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-12-2003 04:21 PM                     It was fun as always and I must give a super huge thank you to Paul, Aaron and Kat for hauling us around town to take care of some extra-curricular activities! As always, it was a pleasure to see Josh again. I managed to miss a few people this year. Superior Quartz apparently had an "end of row" booth. How I missed them is beyond me! (Not enough sleep I guess.) Ashamed I missed Roger Frazee too, but then again I don't know what he looks like to spot him on the floor. Lots of other people I expected to bump into, but I guess I had my eye behind the camera too much to pay attention to my surroundings! Bob, I expect by next year that you will have Neumade business cards that say Bob Maartini on them. Paul, I think next year you need to come in an oversized car. This way we won't get squished in the back seat (it wasn't just Josh) and it would also allow you to physically straddle 3 lanes when following Aaron. Aaron, may I recommend when renting a car next year you check the volume of the turn signal clicker. Perhaps if you could find one under 100db you could use it. So Michael, has the alcohol worn off yet? Hard alcohol should be consumed by the glass, not gallon. Aaaaaah, those wonderful VIDEOS that were had at the drink of you and Ian! (Well, not the one with Ian trying to molest me...but the rest are good. ) BTW, Phil Hill really IS Benny Hill's twin brother and is just as perverted!  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

WHAT! Brad? This is shocking, you're not supposed to consume an entire Texas Micky by yourself?  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

This is a view of Hollywood from Phil`s house. If you look closely, you can see the Capitol Records Tower: About the alcohol, you can have beer legally when you are 16 in Germany and all other drinks when you are 18. That explains why I am so well trained. I also had no hangover the next day.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

I was just having fun too. Legal drinking age in Canada is 19. I was just poking fun at Brad and how 'dem 'mericans can't drink at all, eh? Of course they let you vote at 18, that way at least some people should be voting with a clear head.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-12-2003 05:09 PM                     I am going to this thread as a temporary testing ground for a new feature of the forums ("Sticky topics") courtesy of Daryl.  |  IP: Logged Ron Lacheur Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 650 From: British Columbia, Canada Registered: Feb 2002 posted 03-12-2003 05:17 PM                     Daryl, In most provinces the drinking age is 19, but Alberta is 18.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.

I should've remembered, it's the ONLY province I've ever been ID'd in. Not only can you drink at 18, you can buy it damn near anywhere and don't have to pay sales tax.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"
