As tales of (hu)men generally do, ours starts in the beginning.
In fact, it starts as the first meeting of the New Year.
It is with great apology I say that I cannot, with my mind being only human,
not recollect all the names of the many good people that did attend.
But, I shall endevour to list those that made themselves memorable or infamous.
First off, there is the matter of the title of one Angela -- she has expressed
unhappiness with my previous attempts of titular nobility. So, from
this moment forward, she will be Angela the Untitled Document.
Now, to those in attendence that I do remember the names of:
* James the Deaf
* Angela the Untitled Document
* Bob the Loud
* Pat the Oracle,
* Leonard du Briefcase
* Pat Burke the Phonofile, Knower of URIs, such as http://ipkall.com.
* with his Lady, Kae of FXS and FXO.
* Caleb the Lucky Hamster (For hamsters have have not wires)
* Captain Dave of the U.S.S. Eye of Ra (http://tampascifi.us/)
* Mario, the Pirate King
* The C Programmer, George
* The Microsoft Guy whom sat next to George.
* Ryan, who is not named Bryan or Brian, nor a pain in the Asterisk.
I think, next meeting (St. Pete SLUG), I will bring a parchment of
Paper and implement of Writing and List those names of those which I
ask names of,
for I ask many names, and recall few. Such is the Natures of the Human mind.
Or at least, my mind. Though I think not it inhuman.
On the topic of discussion, there was much talk of VoIP from one Pat Burke,
and Kae / Kay / Kate Without T. They use it because they are Cheap.
Also there was a raffle, and snaffle, which left all baffled.
Of course, several of the Assembled did attain later to the Debriefing Session
at the Benigan's, where there was talk of finaces, money, IRA, and the IRA.
Blarney stones, Greek and Irish theivery genes present in some of the Assembled.
Taxes, Tax Havens, and Tax Fraud were also entertained. Not seriously,
of course, for SLUG people are of course law abiding citizenry. At
least, the just laws.
There was also talk of having an Asterisk Party.
Preview: ****************************************
Also, Pat Burke would very much like people to phone him.
So, email talkcheap@gmail.com and ask for one of his many phone numbers,
and have at it. I hear he really likes recieving calls in Swahili and
Yiddish at 3:00AM.
And with that,
