I'm an idiot. A total buckethead. A pud. A pogue. An assclown grande.

[WilliamPitt]

Fuck.

So I'm going to New York tomorrow for the 9/11 symposium. I am going on Saturday down to Austin, care of GOPisEvil. GOPisEvil arranged my plane from Boston to Austin, and then the New York thing got in the way. No problem, said GOPisEvil. Change your ticket departure from Boston to Newark. It'll cost practically nothing. Here's the information. Here's the phone number. Here's the confirmation number. Just do it before the two-week window changes. Easy as pie.

Easy...except for the fact that I'm an idiot. A total buckethead. A pud. A pogue. An assclown grande.

I didn't do the ticket change in time, and the fee for the change became the GDP of Niger. No chance.

So here's my itinerary:

9:15am - Catch high-speed train from Boston to New York

3:00pm - Do interview with Greek TV guys

6:00pm - Do symposium until

10:00pm - Find a bar

3:15am - Depart Penn Station on not-so-high-speed train to Boston

8:15am - Arrive Boston to catch

10:30am - Plane to Austin

I'm an idiot. A total buckethead. A pud. A pogue. An assclown grande.

[WilliamPitt]

4. Good point

[Enraged_Ape]

2. No argument from me on any of that

Just funnin' ya.

[Another Bill C.]

3. A pogue?

A pogue isn't so bad. That's the Irish language word for kiss.

[dbt]

37. And the most brilliant bar bad that ever fell off a stage!

[WilliamPitt]

8. Definitely

[efhmc]

11. Good, then nothing else matters. Take care and have a good trip.

[GAspnes]

6. at least you don't write threads that sink without a trace

after all, someone, somewhere, is a bigger assclown than you.

MyDay

[liberalhistorian]

7. Hey, at least you're a famous, rich,

sought-after author, unlike the rest of us regular working stiffs! Or, at least, that's what you'd like us to think, lol!

[WilliamPitt]

9. ROFL, ROFL and LOL

to that.

:)

[unblock]

10. btw, you don't have to go all the way to nyc to do the greek thing

i've heard about the women in jamaica plains....

on edit: oh wait, you wanted to do the greek thing with some guys. can't help you there. maybe new york is the best place for that, on the east coast anyway....

:evilgrin:

[SOteric]

12. How in the fuck

do you start a thread with a subject line like that and get called "cute, rich and famous" in under 10 posts? *boggle*

:shrug:

On edit: - And technically, you've been tossed a 'kiss' too...

[unblock]

14. it's an obvious 'please stroke my ego' subject line ....

just razzin' ya will!

[WilliamPitt]

15. Because I am all-powerful

Or not.

:)

[Don_G]

13. Bad Day?

Hell, I just wish I could think half as straight as you do....

You screwed up; what...once???

Well, maybe twice if you grabbed a bite to eat at Taco Bell and experience cabin depressuretion (sp?) in the close company of your fellow travelers.

You're tired and cranky and something happened; just never forget that you're brave, opinionated and articulate to speak for most of us here.

BTW, your Mom did a good job. My posts are open for you and all to read....

[WilliamPitt]

16. Once...twice...2,007 times

Who's counting?

:)

Thanks, man.

[Don_G]

30. You're The One Keeping Count

I don't....

But you've given me the best news tonight I've heard in 4 years: you listen, you express what I'm too shy to say and you can back up upur opinions with data at the drop of a hat.

Don't thank me; I'm grateful you're on our side and I especially appreciate Raven's effort in producing and polishing the "Hope" Diamond.

17. what IS the gdp of niger, anyway?

[WilliamPitt]

19. The price of a plane trip from Newark to Texas

within the 14 day limit.

[Bossy Monkey]

18. Then we'll have to strike up "Hail to the Chief"

I ordered an assclown grande once; it was great!

[PopSixSquish]

20. Well After You Recover From this Little Trip...

when are you coming to Atlanta? Delta is ready when you are.

[WilliamPitt]

21. November?

It's up to you, not me.

:)

[PopSixSquish]

22. 'Splain Please...

I would very much like to come to one of your speeches.

[WilliamPitt]

23. Well,

I don't just show up places. :) Someone has to:

1. Get a plane ticket for me

2. Get a hotel room for me

3. Get someone to buy some books

4. Arrange a venue where I can talk

5. Get people to show up

6. Buy me beer.

GOPisEvil has recently become well-versed in this process. Ask him if you are interested.

[Don_G]

31. Which Process?

One to three plus six?

Just kidding....

[kathee]

32. And dont forget

The weather this weekend in Austin wont be stifling,burning,sticky,heatstroke weather. I ordered it 'specially for ya that way. Nice and dry, and only a lil warm.

Be sure to thank us Texans when we meet, k? We dont do that for just any ol body. We only do the heatwaves for certain folks on certain months for certain vacations..in August, on chicken ranches.

[GOPisEvil]

35. Well-versed? You could say that....

*head spin* *shudder* *twitch*

Everything's *shiver* fine now, er, I think, I hope...:crazy:

[Susang]

24. It'll be worth it to hang out with GOPisEvil

He's a blast. Sleep on the train, you'll have a blast in Austin. :-)

[GOPisEvil]

36. Flattery gets you everywhere!

:hi:

[LynneSin]

25. Will, if you can sleep while I'm driving

You'll get plenty of sleep on the train & plane.

You'll be fine!

[Ellen Forradalom]

26. Aw Will, you're too kind.

Sounds like an itinerary from my Eastern European travelling days.

[Skittles]

27. honey

After we pick you up you just go sleep it off until Sunday. Then we hit a bar again. And think about Raven's offer to be yo' road manager. :D

[comsymp]

28. Far be it from me to argue with the Bard of DU

:evilgrin:

So any news on 9/26 yet?

[rbnyc]

29. I'd meet you at the bar...

...if I could walk. You are my favorite assclown after all.

;-)

[WilliamPitt]

33. Awwwwwwwwwwwwww

[GalleryGod]

34. Do You Get Free Mochachino Grandes when you're an Asshole Clown Grande?

38. I can make you feel slightly better.

According to my Houston correspondent Richardo, your gig at The Azteca Restaurant is getting on-air advertising on KPFT. :thumbsup:

The Austin Chronicle, our alternative weekly, has the Patriot Act Town Hall meeting listed TWICE, of course you are named as the featured speaker! :thumbsup:

Plus, Sunday nights at Mother Egan's, you can drink your weight in Guinness if you choose. There's a reason I chose an Irish pub. ;-)
