Date of HSP Dimension birthday chat

The exact date of HSP Dimension's birthday is April 26, which falls on a Sunday this year. Should we have the chat on the Saturday night before? Or is Sunday night ok?

Remember that Sunday night EDT is midday Monday in Australia and New Zealand, which is most likely a problem for Adain and any others participating from Down Under.

We want to make sure we get as many people as possible for this one, so we could celebrate it on the Saturday before if it's more convenient for everyone.

Oh thanks for reminding me. I meant to post this. Yes, we can celebrate one day early, or since this is such a big rite of passage for our itty bitty board, we can start it on Sat. night and continue it on Sunday, ending Sunday's earlier.

The chats have been slow in starting the last few times, so would you like me to start it later by an hour? Just let me know.


We spent the last 2 scheduled chats planning this one; it's going to be a wild, wonky, imaginative time, in full technicolor.

Saturday works better for me.

From last night's unscheduled chat; we need to find a way to add pickles and popcorn to the NOTHING BIRTHDAY AND FERTILITY CELEBRATION chat. I just know there'll be all kinds of wonkily good ideas.

And creamcheese!

Pickles, yeah, a no brainer, definitely phallic symbol.

I guess I'll start Saturday's big celebration chat at the usual time of 5pm gmt-7.

I hope everyone makes it; and since there has been little posting to my history thread, I guess we'll post the fun parts of the chat there.

Nucky, cream cheese? I read that in a couple of threads now. What's that about? I'm missing some cultural reference it feels like.

It started when INFP mentioned listening to Frank Zappa albums. There's a song on the album "Freak Out" where they say "creamcheese" over and over again for 12 minutes lol (in all kinds of ways, sped up, backwards, etc.)

I saw that, but thought it might be more than just a random word being played with.

We'll figure out a way to integrate pickles, popcorn, and creamcheese in the chat.

...and have great fun doing so.

Some ideas MC and I came up with (feel free to add to this) :

[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : Okay, let's change the subject and have some fun. Just how are you going to work creamcheese into the story of the nothing birthday and fertility celebration?
[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : inquiring minds want to know
[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : brb, I'll get some tea while you're figuring this out, lol
[23 23/04/09] @ nuckinfutz : Hmmm . . .
[23 23/04/09] @ nuckinfutz : ok
[23 23/04/09] @ nuckinfutz : Maybe the hippie elf'll give everyone pickles with creamcheese that'll make everyone wonky. Kind of like a fun drug without the hangover or comedown or any of the other bad stuff associated with drugs.
[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : I'm back. Just remember that we can't break our tos with forumotion
[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : yuck; pickles with creamcheese
[23 23/04/09] @ nuckinfutz : As long as we don't do anything that's literally illegal, we're good
[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : would you eat such a combo?
[23 23/04/09] @ nuckinfutz : This is a magic creamcheese that makes pickles and creamcheese YUMMY!
[23 23/04/09] @ nuckinfutz : If you want to restrict ourselves to boring real life, than no lol
[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : How about cream cheese and chocolate gutter glitter balls?
[23 23/04/09] @ nuckinfutz : That sounds better
[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : cream cheese balls rolled in gutter glitter
[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : brings to mind a snowball fight our wonky way
[23 23/04/09] @ nuckinfutz : Now you're talkin!
[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : Traditional food of the festival; dill pickles, popcorn and creamcheese balls rolled in chocolate gutter glitter
[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : all munched while we sip sombreros (but of course)
[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : It's magical, so no upset stomachs later
[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : no hangovers
[23 23/04/09] @ nuckinfutz : Snow?! I think that even we're done with that. lol
[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : until next dec. yeah
[23 23/04/09] @ nuckinfutz : I'll be sure to save this chat, we're gettin somewhere tonight lol
[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : we'll just save a few of those balls in the freezer for then
[23 23/04/09] @ nuckinfutz : yeah, at least until October for us lol
[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : post lag?
[23 23/04/09] @ nuckinfutz : not for me
[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : You seem to be answering a few posts of mine earlier than current the last few times so I was wondering
[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : post lag means my posts are showing up for you late
[23 23/04/09] @ nuckinfutz : yeah, I know, everything's working fine for me
[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : It seems to for me too
[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : but....oh well, just a mystery of the chat
[23 23/04/09] @ melodiccolor : we go wonky and the box gets even wonkier on us, lol

So it's tomorrow at 8 pm?? Okay I will try to make it at some point! Pickles, creamcheese and popcorn oh my!

An accompanying piece for this chat is here.

We can actually buy one. I'm going to, it'd be a hoot to actually have one.

Oh, my, she has "I Know" buttons, too!! I think I may need one of these.

Give it a couple of days; then we'll have a choice of fonts and colors too. We can do our Normal buttons in either green or purple. The I Know buttons will have to ge interwoven into our wonky universe I know.
