I TOTALLY Have a Case of the Mondays

Is Flagg wearing a smiley button? Like from Watchman? WTF? #TheStand

@nrlymrtl He’s got flair. #TheStand

— Jeremy Frantz (@jeremyrfrantz) March 3, 2013

@nrlymrtl At least it’s not a blue dong — like in Watchmen #TheStand

— Bryan G. (@unfnshdprsn) March 3, 2013

@nrlymrtl Yes! And a HOW’S YOUR PORK? button…in the book, at least. #TheStand

@jeremyrfrantz Oooooh, we should watch Office Space! #TheStand

@popqueenie we’ve seen that movie so many times, know it inside and out, but yes, would be fun #TheStand

— Bryan G. (@unfnshdprsn) March 3, 2013

@popqueenie @jeremyrfrantz Yes, yes, yes! HERE’S YOUR FLAIR. #TheStand

— Heather (@Between_Covers) March 3, 2013

— sj (@popqueenie) March 3, 2013

— Bryan G. (@unfnshdprsn) March 3, 2013

@unfnshdprsn I think a lot of people would join.Give it a few weeks, my liver needs a break. #TheStand

Ah, nothing like planning the next drinkalong while you’re still drinking/drunk from the current one, amirite?

I almost forgot we had planned this, but today I REMEMBERED.

This Saturday, March 16th, please join the above folks (plus a few more) for a group watch/drinking game of Office Space.  It’ll start at 10:15pm Eastern DAYLIGHT Time, so if you haven’t had DST yet, make sure you check your math so you know what time we’re starting.

Look, I already made the countdown clock – I know, I’m the best.  You don’t have to tell me.

Oh, and if you missed the storify for the second half of The Stand, you can find it here.  There’s something else related to that coming up soon, too – so stay tuned.

Postscript 1 – I specifically UNchecked Include Parent Tweet, but it’s still including it so I’m officially mad at twitter.

Postscript 2 – Sorry for the extended absence, I hope to get back to posting regularly this week.  <3 you guys.

The Drinkalong Returneth

I hope you guys are all as excited for the return of the DRINKALONG as I am.  I had some spectacularly shitty news today (well, um, yesterday technically) and Susie even suggested that maybe I should put this off, but I think the Drinkalong is EXACTLY what I need right now.

SO!  Because I’m too lazy to come up with something clever, we’re totally just going to use #TheStand as a hashtag (and take it over from some weird Christian concert thingy?).  You can find the tweetchat for that here.

Oh, what?  YOU WANT RULES?  Jesus, do I have to do everydamnthing for you?

ACTUALLY, Susie did that graphic for us, so you can thank her.  Isn’t it lovely?  We love Flagg’s herp-derp face in this screencap beyond all reason.  No, seriously.  We hate movie!Flagg, so go ahead and make fun of him all you want.

What else am I forgetting?

OH!  The countdown clock.  Click here, my sweets.  You’ll be able to find out when we’re starting far more easily than I’d be able to tell you.

YAY, DRINKALONG!

End of the world? Might as well get ‘faced.

YAY, IT’S THE (for really real this time) RETURN OF THE DRINKALONG!

We will all be gathering on twitter/tweetchat/whatever twitter client you prefer to watch the first 2 episodes of The Stand miniseries (currently streaming on Netflix, yay!) this Friday (March 1) at 10:15 pm EST.  Countdown clock?  Gotcha covered.

The current plan is to finish with the last two episodes of the miniseries on the following night, Saturday the 2nd.  I (and a few others) can’t do it next week and trying to split this up any other way just doesn’t make sense/is too inconvenient.

I hope most of you can make it for part or all!

More information with group hashtag and drinking game rules to come on Friday.

RETURN OF DRINKALONG!

I’m Snoopy dancing for drinkalong, not the next paragraph.

Seriously, guys.  This move has had me THE MOST STRESSED OUT.  I’ve been doing all the laundry, washing clothes from the last three years that don’t fit ANYONE anymore so that we can donate them.  Packing everything up (holy crap, we have so much stuff and I want to set it all on fire), MOVING EVERYTHING AROUND, trying to make sure there’s room for a damn tree in WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE the staging area…

Um.  I’m totally the most shouty lately.  I’m pretty sure everyone hates me right now.  Which is why I’m so happy I decided to MAKE THE TIME for Drinkalong this weekend.

YES, DRINKALONG ON FRIDAY!

Friday, Dec. 14th 10:15 pm EST

We will be watching Rat Race (so borrow a copy, or it’s streaming on Netflix or WHATEVER, I DON’T CARE just be here, please?) BECAUSE I SAID SO.

It will be fun and we’ll all get drunk together and have a good time watching this super silly movie together.

I’ll post the drinking game and stuff day of, so WATCH THIS SPACE.

Or not.

But I wouldn’t hate it if you decided to just refresh your page every ten minutes until then to up my page views.

October Drinkalong Announcement

I took an informal poll on twitter last night, and our movie for October has been decided.

Yay, it’s streaming on Netflix!  Hopefully we can get a bigger group together than last week (even though it was super fun) to tweet and drink with us.

I’ll be working on drinking game rules in the upcoming weeks, but have a few questions.

1. Which day is better for everyone?  I was originally thinking Friday Oct. 26, but we can do it the week before that or even on a Saturday.
2. Should we start at 10:15 EDT or push the time back a bit?  This movie runs 2 hours, so even if we start at 11pm, it’ll be over by 1.  That’s not a big deal for me, but I was thinking it might help some of our west coasters?

The polls are open for 1 week.  Any of the days and times mentioned work for me, so I’ll just leave it up to the majority.  Much like real life, if you want your voice heard, make sure you vote!
