That Thing...

Anyone else going to that thing that starts on Wednesday and ends on Sunday? You know... that thing. People reading sentences to each other while wearing tweed? Free beer one night, not free the other? Dejected and jobless young people wandering about, looking for someone to put them out of their misery? A big room of books where the useless ones are free, and the good ones are for sale at a major discount if you wait until the last day? Very few women? Even fewer people who are not in some obvious way socially retarded?

If anyone else is going to that thing, I'll be flashing the secret sign throughout. You know what I mean...

I won't be at that thing...though I'm sure the sign remains the same.

Was that an allusion to Led Zep? In an otherwise not offensive post? How dare you!!!

You know the sign... Will try to keep up the JUSTICE in your absence.

Just poking a little fun over the secret sign (shhhhh). No doubt, there will be glorious refutation and much Justice.
Thanks for the link to Python's Philosopher's World Cup!

I've arranged for someone not associated with that thing to take me away from that thing for a day or so. Need to confront the ocean. Could be dangerous.

Apart from that act of GENERAL JUSTICE, I'll be sure to keep the conference JUSTICE quotient high.

Like how they make a point of the hotel being *unionized*. Can't determine if this is a good thing or not.

There was an issue a few years back when that thing was held in a hotel during a strike.
