Would our new jellies like in on a Fluther celebration?

Asked by Dutchess_III (47069points) November 18th, 2013

We have 10K and 20K parties. Sometimes 30K and a couple of 40K parties. I think we had a 50K once, didn’t we? The bigger the points the wilder the party gets. So get your pancakes on!
Caution, sometimes NSFD_III.

Why the deuce is that discussion closed?

ETpro's avatar

I’m in. Anything involving chips, dip and lots of beer has my undivided attention. When it’s for a worthy cause like welcoming new members, well I’ll propose a toast to that. “A glass in the hand’s worth two on the shelf — Tipple it down and refresh yourself!”

@Seek_Kolinahr Just for editing. It’s back up now.

Jeruba's avatar

For the record, three jellies have crossed the 50,000 line: marinelife, gailcalled, and wundayatta, who is no longer here.

There’s an award called “Poseidon” that marks 50k; the awards list shows that three people have received it so far.

Since the site is no longer in development, it looks like we won’t have comparable markers for those who achieve 60k and beyond. We’ll have to make them up ourselves.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Hey @Jeruba….how can I see a list of the awards I’ve received?

Jeruba's avatar

View your external profile and click the Awards tab.

I think we should throw a party for the new peeps that have blended right in! Some good new jelly blood in the fluther gene pool lately! :-D

jca's avatar

Maybe I’ll throw a party for myself in the cat house LOL!

Dutchess_III's avatar

I’ll come!

Pachy's avatar

I’ll be virtually in attendance.

What happened to Wundayatta?

ucme's avatar

Chicken pox party? Spot on…

Dutchess_III's avatar

Ha ha ha ha!!!

“It rubs the lotion on it’s skin or else it gets the hose again.” :D

Dutchess_III's avatar

Oh God. Just like all the other Fluther Parties. Starts with skin and rubbing and then…......................

ucme's avatar

“put the fucking lotion in the basket!!”

ibstubro's avatar

I might waffle on the pancakes, but count me in. :-)

Jeruba's avatar

@ibstubro, you might not want to refuse pancakes.

ibstubro's avatar

I’ve not been convinced of the desirability of Fluther pancakes, @Jeruba. Yet.

As a side note, congratulating @picante put ME over the 4,000 mark!

Jeruba's avatar

It took me at least six months to reach the 4000 mark. Now I pass many days without adding 5 points. You know about the lurve limits, right?

Seek's avatar

@ibstubro It’s your choice, bro. You can be a popcorn-farter or a pancake-comer. Most of us have chosen the sticky, starchy orgasm.

ibstubro's avatar

No, @Jeruba, I do not. I think I had around 1,000 when I came back from several years ago.

Seek's avatar

We’re limited to 100 points per Jelly. And you only get credited for the first five GAs. So we longer-term members were stuck for a long time until you guys showed up. I’ve gone up almost 1500 points since the Askville closing. And I thought I’d never make 30k!

Dutchess_III's avatar

I haven’t gone up at all! New Jelly’s get crackin’!

ibstubro's avatar

Very cool, @Seek_Kolinahr that the new Fluther flock gave you a boost. We’re pleased to be of service.

@Dutchess_III I know that to be a lie that’s neither little nor white! I alone have probably about topped my 100 allotted.

Valerie111's avatar

I’m in :)

Dutchess_III's avatar

Hey @Valerie111. I always double take when I see your name because my name is Valerie too.

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

Is the pool too crowded, or is there room for me?

ibstubro's avatar

Welcome, @Jonesn4burgers! We’ll get a newbie cabana. Spread some lurve around and don’t miss the link in the question!

Dutchess_III's avatar

Well…wait. I think everyone is in the frizzer @Jonesn4burgers, which is under the pool.

Jonesn4burgers's avatar

Well, pull up a shell and pass that champagne!

chyna's avatar

Are we at the nekid dancing portion of our party yet?

Coloma's avatar

Nekkid in the hot tub, move over we can fit at least 10 in the 6 man tubby! lol

ibstubro's avatar

@Coloma Well, I’m not sitting on any laps at this stage of the “man tubby” game.

Coloma's avatar

@ibstubro Well better you sit on my lap than the other way around. I don’t want any extra elevation. lol

ibstubro's avatar

Dunno, @chyna. Are there going to be pan turns for breakfast?

_Disclaimer: “Pan turns” is an actual, legitimate local term that I use.

ibstubro's avatar

Flock, no, @Coloma. If nips arise, we don’t want it to be from the nipply winter weather wind.

Coloma's avatar

^^^ Oh my, I need some serious laughs tonight, thanks!

chyna's avatar

@ibstubro There can not be a Fluther party without pancakes or pan turns even if we eat them nekkid.

glacial's avatar

@ibstubro “Pan turns” sound like eggs to me. :)

stanleybmanly's avatar

I’ve noticed that in all of this party conversation, there has yet to be a single reference to any sort of booze. Good pancakes are indeed intoxicating. Warm maple syrup cut with bourbon!

ibstubro's avatar

It might sound like that, @glacial, but I made cakes on a griddle for a friend of mine 25+ years ago and he called them “pan turns”. I’ve called them that since!

ibstubro's avatar

@stanleybmanly You can cut mine with Johnny Black.

Coloma's avatar

@stanleybmanly Good catch, okay..what goes great with a pancake brunch..Mimosas oooh, my wittle heart be still.

Smitha's avatar

Oops!! Am I late? Thanks @ibstubro for letting me know, I usually forget the meta section.
I’ll definitely be there for the celebrations!

ibstubro's avatar

Smitha’s a great member.

Few check the meta section, but the question was kicked there.

stanleybmanly's avatar

@coloma Yes indeed. All of the morning drinky-poos. Bloody Marys, vodka/grapefruit juice, peppermint tea with rye whiskey, the list is endless.

SQUEEKY2's avatar

I’m in a bit tired though 16hour day the roads were really bad,and the car drivers were driving like drugged monkeys.

augustlan's avatar

<Dances nekkid through the party, with a trayfull of pancakes and booze.>

Dutchess_III's avatar

AUGGIE!!!!!!!!!!!! This was supposed to be a genteel introduction party and it got crashed and nobody signed the dress code contract or the ethics contract and now people are running all over my mansion nekit and getting syrup and shit everwhere and….o hell. Carry on. I shall retire to my library. If you need anything…..get it yourself.

Don’t forget, the patio is open too. But dress warmly before you go out there.
Whars the beer?

Seek's avatar

No beer here, just maple syrup vodka!!

SQUEEKY2's avatar

Ya know I would like to try some maple syrup vodka.

ibstubro's avatar

Count me in for the maple syrup vodka, @Seek_Kolinahr and @SQUEEKY2 !

Smitha's avatar

Me too!! I guess I’ll try vodka for the first time here!!

ibstubro's avatar

(I’m debating on a Morningstar Farms sausage patty appetizer.)

Dutchess_III's avatar

Yes, marinated in maple syrup vodka for a few hours first.

ibstubro's avatar

Well, perhaps we should get links if we’re to marinate, @Dutchess_III?

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

I’m happy to have so many new jellies. Maybe if I say lots of funny things, the newbies will lurve me and get me to 30k…

chyna's avatar

^Maybe try a less scary avatar and they will lurve you.

ibstubro's avatar

I like @WillWorkForChocolate‘s ava, @chyna!

I think the newbies are very liberal with Lurve. The…er…heritage members seem to forget it because they’re so used to playing with…amongst…themselves.

Coloma's avatar

Just to be really clear, there are only a few premiere pets here on fluther. “Marwyn” my goose is one, @gailcalleds “Milo” is another, followed by @chynas“Jessie” and most recently @JanB’s “Frodo.” There is NO MORE ROOM AT THE INN for amazing pets here. lol

ibstubro's avatar

NO ROOM FOR PETTING? So we’re all stuck at first base, for life?

Nonacceptable.

Seek's avatar

Schrodinger is here, he just lurks in the shadows.

ibstubro's avatar

LURKER’S Come out. WE WILL not HARM YOU!

Seek's avatar

Just be careful walking around furniture in the Mansion. ‘Dinger likes to swat at your ankles from under the sofa.

Seelix's avatar

Hey, cats and kittens. I’ve made a return. Perhaps. I thought this might be a good place to say “hey” without ruffling too many feathers.

thorninmud's avatar

Good to see you back, Seelix! Missed you!

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeliiiiiiiiiiiiix!!!

ibstubro's avatar

Hey @Seelix. Where ya been? We are the new freshman class.

Seelix's avatar

I’ve been everywhere, man. More specifically, I’ve been calling off my wedding, moving back to my hometown, working craptastic jobs and generally trying to put things back together again after I decided to turn my life completely upside down.

What’s new ‘round the frizzer?

Dutchess_III's avatar

Seelix!!!!! Welcome home! Sorry to hear about your wedding….

ibstubro's avatar

Well, just count yourself lucky you realized it before you married. Close call.

augustlan's avatar

So happy to see you here, @Seelix!!!

Seelix's avatar

Thanks, everyone. And there’s no need for pity; like @ibstubro said, I’m just happy to have come to that conclusion before the wedding rather than after. I still lost a few deposits, but I’d rather that than have to go through divorce or settle for a less-happy life than I think I deserve.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Good for you @Seelix. :)
