Tobes!!!!!!

[randy_byers]

Okay, I've received confirmation that tobesv has joined Corflu Zed and booked a flight. The convention just got nobler. So what should we do with him when we have him at our mercy? jamesb has already tried electrocuting him, so I guess the ante has been upped.

Get him to write a fanzine? He kept saying he was going to all the time we were going out.

[randy-byers.livejournal.com]

Excellent suggestion!

[drplokta]

As far as I recall, he's also been crucified and had his nipples pierced.

[randy-byers.livejournal.com]

Not at the same time, I hope!

I briefly thought it might have been at the same convention; but on reflection it must have been at two different cons, a couple of years apart, in the same hotel.

Piercing in July 2000; Crucifixion in May 2002.

[randy-byers.livejournal.com]

That does seem to be the proper order for these things.

[wrdnrd]

[is beginning to reconsider this Corflu thing...]

[randy-byers.livejournal.com]

What, have I not mentioned the mandatory piercings in the progress report? D'oh! Old Corflu tradition. But it comes with the membership, just like the banquet.

How about a tour of the Fremont art car scene? Imagine a funky truck wit' Mr. Valois going "oh wow".

[randy-byers.livejournal.com]

Hm. We could always glue him to the roof of holyoutlaw's pickup and make him *part* of an art car. (An art cart part?) Or perhaps Art's art cart ...

[voidampersand.livejournal.com]

If we attach him to the side, he could be an art widener.

[randy-byers.livejournal.com]

Dude, you are slaying!

BTW, on a more serious note, if you're going to do a newsletter, maybe you can get Tobes to write for it.

[holyoutlaw.livejournal.com]

Best idea yet! (yours, above there).

If we glued him onto the side of Art's car, he could be Art Widner's art widener.

[voidampersand.livejournal.com]

I'm having second thoughts, though. Eventually we'd have to rip him off, and it could be painful. I wouldn't want him to end up with a massive art scar.

[randy-byers.livejournal.com]

Yeah, his original abs would become aboriginal.

[voidampersand.livejournal.com]

Oi oi oi gevalt. I gotta work on some Potlatch stuff, so I really need to resist the urge to write this up as faanfiction. But boy is it tempting.

[holyoutlaw.livejournal.com]

Then it would be Art Widner's art car's art widener art scar.

Signed,


not helping you with your Potlatch homework.

[surliminal.livejournal.com]

You US guys are such wusses. Youhave to at least pierce and screw him to the car (take that any way you like..)

[randy-byers.livejournal.com]

Okay, I think we have a winner! We should shag Tobes on an art car! Man, it'd be *so* Seventies.

[galacticvoyeur.livejournal.com]

Wait, what, you have art cars out there too? I thought they were native and unique to Uptown Minneapolis. They only come out in the summer for the big LynnLake parade then they go back into hiding. Except for that one covered with green styrofoam, I see it all over town shedding chunks of green stuff as it cruises by...

[randy-byers.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there are quite a few art cars on the West Coast, and Seattle has no shortage of them. There's a big art car parade every summer at the Fremont Street Fair. Art usually drives his aboriginal art car up for that, and he's not the only one who comes from out of state.

[holyoutlaw.livejournal.com]

The Mpls. art cars also get together for a drive around the lake that has the arty ice fishing shacks.

[daveon.livejournal.com]

I suppose I ought to do something about popping along. It's technically really only at the bottom of the hill from here isn't it?

[randy-byers.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is. Plus it's great views from the top of the hotel, where the consuite is. But aren't you guys having a party that weekend?

[daveon.livejournal.com]

We're having Tyson's 2nd Birthday party on the Sunday but I'm reasonably available for the rest of the weekend. Plus I assume, with Brits in town, there may be some general pubbage in the offing.

[randy-byers.livejournal.com]

Very true. The Fishlifters, at least, will also be arriving a few days early, so there may well be pre-convention festivities. I'm taking the week off.

[jamesb.livejournal.com]

Well electrocuting his balls for charity, is something he ahsn't done, but works well and drawas a crowd.

Attaching him like the Polygrip man in overalls to a speeding car as peoople throw paint at it and him sounds excellent, I suggest paint guns to add that je nais se que dimension, and also its america, you must have guns.

Although watered down paint in water pistols just jams.

Take him to the gun range, and let him work off some steam, that would make a you tube special, I tell you.

Although, a service to humanity would be to get him laid.

that would be ace.

Okay, so that's another vote for shagging him on an art car then. I don't know about YouTube though. Might want to sell the DVD to raise funds for TAFF.
