Will you?
6 pm! Tonight! Cafe Metropolitain (1701 E Olive Way)!
A very special “Happy Birthday Scary Tyler Moore” Slog Happy with food, cheap drinks, and free books! And brownies. We can’t forget the brownies.
(While trying to snap a shot of the brownies—they’re so much easier to transport via bus than a bunch of cupcakes—Christopher Frizzelle came in and tried to steal them. And then he said he was going to lick them, so no one else would want them. The nerve! But worry not, for Christopher’s tongue never touched so much as a flake of toasted coconut.)
oh, the fun i could have photoshopping that picture. thank you, christopher!
Am disappointed that there are no red velvet cupcakes, but the coconut on the brownies does make up for it, a bit…
What percentage of Slog Happy attendees are typically regulars and what percentage are newbies?
Okay, so no tongue, but how do we know Christopher didn’t stuff the brownies in his nose before placing them back in the pan?
YUM!
[insert lame dirty joke about Christopher licking things here]
@3
80-20 or so.
There are also occasional attendees such as Fnarf and Poe.
Also, a good 20% of the people there aren’t there for Sloghappy, but put on a name tag anyways, because people love name tags.
that christopher sure is cute…
@6 I love it when strangers put on name tags without knowing what the name tags are there for!
80-20?! That sounds intimidating!
im not coming so if anybody wants to use go away baitin on theyre name tag thats cool
@9 It’s not! We’re nice! Everyone is really welcoming. If nothing else, grab a brownie and hide in the corner until you work up the courage to say hi to people.
My courage comes in a shot glass.
Happy Birthday, Scary! It’s my birthday too, but alas have made other plans.
Megan may be nice, but I am a heartless bastard. If I don’t like the looks of your nametag I’ll cut your liver out with a spoon and eat it.
Make sure ECB doesn’t try to steal them.
@9 – nah, it’s not that intimidating.
People actually are really nice in person, which surprises first time attendees.
@12: There will be plenty of those there.
Almost everyone is very nice, and the best way to make someone nicer to you on the internet is to meet them in person.
AND, you might meet the love of your life! I met w7ngman at Slog Happy, and we’re about to celebrate our first anniversary.
@14 – You pro-foie gras people obviously have no moral compass. One day its corn-fattened goose liver, the next it’s brownie-fattened human liver. Where does it end!?!
OMG I almost lost my lunch when I saw his fat ugly mug
Show up! Meet people! Don’t worry if you’re awkward or socially stunted. It hasn’t stopped me from making new friends. Also, bizarrely, bumping into someone who used to be the TA for my fluid dynamics class.
Happy Birthday Tyler Moore. I wish I could be there do break some dishes with you, but alas I’m stuck at home, Day Two of Sick. Sigh.
Man, Christopher can lick my brownies any day. That boy is hawt.
If nothing else, I am always there. I mostly hand outnaked pictures of myself.
How long do these things typically last? I’m always working until 9 on Thursdays, so I’ve never been. Should I attempt it?
Julie, it’s true. I’m out of control. I killed a man at the first Slog Happy, and now I have to keep ramping up the thrills.
@25
Fnarf, I cannot make it tonight, so the frontloader-chicken-race-down-denny will have to wait until the next happy. Or the next time I drink tequilla.
Happy B-Day Mel!
aw. I wanna go but I know no one. But I want books and brownies and to see what all of you look like.
@27
Not knowing anyone is part of the mystique. You can pretend to know me to break the ice. I’m very good at playing along and lying about things that don’t really warrent lies.
@27
So come! Put on a nametag, eat your fill of brownies, take as many books as you want, and maybe talk to someone.
I was too chicken to come to the first few Slog Happys, but trivia got me out and I haven’t looked back.
Just show up! Brownies, books, and booze are about the best social lubricant there is without actual, well, lubricant. Plus, no conversation between Slog folks actually makes sense with or without context, so don’t worry if you jump into a stranger’s conversation and say something that makes no fucking sense,
Are they “special” brownies?
They have coconut, and I heard rumors about marshmellow, which does make them pretty special.

Damn double-posting phone…

I hear the coconuts were grown on a magic island, where the muppets live.
@36: If they’re those kind of brownies, I’d better not. I’ve gotta drive.
Just don’t put your hand in Joh’s pants. There’s bacon in there, and I don’t think it’s too fresh.
@27 and others: Yes, please show up! Even someone as reclusive as I normally am has managed to have a good time. I don’t want to miss the post-brownie rendition of Happy Birthday to Scary Tyler Moore.
There’s obviously no need for me to be there handing out naked pictures of Joh if he’s already got that covered.
Megan, thanks for posting this warnings about which spots to avoid on which nights in order to not have to share an enclosed space with any of these misanthropes. You’re doing the rest of the world a big favor by removing them from circulation for at least a few hours every now and then.
@ 31. All brownies are special.
Who said ill be wearing pants?
get there early before ECB steals all the brownies
#41, you’re projecting. also, please attend the next slog and say that to our faces. i’ll bet a silk pajama you are too fucking chickenshit to do it. and by the way, tonight was FABULOUS. i’m still feeling the glow from the birthday wishes! thank you all!!!
Happy birthday scary tyler moore!
Believe it or not, but SLOG Happy can cure a sprained back! Living Proof!
(Okay, maybe it was the two double Greyhounds. Or the fantabulous brownie. Whatever. Back feels better, that’s all I need to know.)
For Paul and Josh:

Apparently there is video of Harrison Ford with a stapler to his head from the filming of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, but it was part of a running joke. Most of the time the hat was held on with tape, and when it came off they’d redo the take.
I don’t mind not knowing anyone and trying to get up the courage to talk to strangers. But I have to change my name before attending my first Slog Happy. With the new commenting interface, my tag no longer makes any sense.
@1… don’t think I haven’t already… thanks, Christopher! Oooh, I wish you were straight.
Christopher, I’m a little pissed. I see this fucking SCREENSAVER on my fucking computer, announcing that you give better head — cunnillingus (sp?) even with a fucking forward-snatching hat (try that, bitch!) — than I do a very diligent job of doing. I’m hoping that this was a typo. I’m hoping that you will keep out of my way if my girl ever does decide to go to your fairy-friendly gatherings of fairies. I mean, what the fuck? With the tongue and-all? Fuck you. And (secret, between you and me) — she can have you.
R,… I didn’t mean it. Stop posting that picture. Holy fuck. Mary me? I’m not kidding.
Come home.
