Good afternoon Lunatia!

I'm Larry; Larry Laffer. I'm kind of new around here. It's nice to meet you all!

Now that Halloween/Geistnacht festivities are wrapping up, we're headed into November, or what we just call "the eleventh month" around here, I guess. Anyway, where I come from, there's a holiday called Thanksgiving that falls on the fourth Thursday of the month. It is what it says on the tin: a harvest holiday to give thanks for the previous year's crop. You celebrate it by hanging out with your family and loved ones, eat a gratuitous amount of seasonally appropriate food and drink, and watch sports on television together.

I'd like to host something like that here, if anyone would be interested. I know some of us might be missing our families from back home, but that doesn't mean we can't celebrate the friends and lovers that we've made here! Bring all the food and/or booze your heart desires, but as the host it's my responsibility to make the bird. (Whatever is the closest I can find to a turkey around here.)

On an absolutely related note, I could use someone on consult that knows how to cook.

This is meant to be an "open to all ages" kind of thing, but I was thinking that we could also have a post-dessert dessert of an orgy for those who qualify. That's not part of the tradition, but that doesn't mean we can't make it ours. I just figured that maybe everyone would like to leave the party topped off with turkey and Chroma for their holiday shopping. No pressure or anything, though!

RSVP here or on my answering machine if you're interested.

Are you sure you are? You're one of the few people responding to this that hasn't made me out to be a complete nutjob.

[So if Simon's a prude, what are the others?]

[theseuschip]

I mean, would you have put this out as a public invitation on Earth?

[loungelizard]

Of course! But if Timber had a BBS functionality, I never found it.

[theseuschip]

Uh, yeah. Might want to try something else. You're coming on a little strong. A lot strong.

[loungelizard]

Yeah. Got it.

[Message received.]

[theseuschip]

Anyway, good to meet you, Larry. It's nice to talk to somebody who feels so... close to home, I guess.

[ On the Internet nobody knows you're a freaky robot without a proper head, so this is a perfect arrangement and need not change in any way. ]

[loungelizard]

Likewise!

[On the Internet, nobody knows you're a middle-aged man with an abominable libido.

...oh, wait.]

Take it easy, Simon.

[Did Simon ever actually tell Larry his name? No, but his username has it in it, so he's just going to try to make the most logical conclusion.]

[theseuschip]

[ Larry told him both of those things, explicitly or implicitly, so amazingly, Simon is the only one catfishing in this conversation. ]

Yeah, you too. Don't forget to pick up "Caution Wet Floor" signs for your party.

[ he rarely had conversations this gross in life, and yet he's feeding into it. ]
