"My name is MacRua, and I don't give a fuck about your rules."

Voila. Magic passphrase that can be excahnged at various meetups with little fear that it'll accidentally be used by others that are not in the know. And if the hot bit of crumpet you try it out on ends up not knowing the phrase you can pass it off as your real name, have a great alias for the night, and be justified in handing out fake phone numbers without guilt.

Aha.....I thought I had missed a joke somewhere, as I didn't get the following Mac references. Originally from Mr. D......"shocking."
I digest.

Ok, I'm off to take a nap (only 2 hours sleep between last nights show and work this morning! :D ), but I'll def be at DC 9. Dunno what time, depends on how well public transport is behaving. But I'll be there w/ a Shane & the Popes footie shirt and a Guinness in hand! Say hi (or the secret phrase :wink: ) if you see me!

-Paul!

Umm. That's

"My name is MacRua, and I don't give a fuck about your rules!"

The other incantation is just a work of evil. You have to get it right lest you open a tear into the blackness of the soul.

Well DzM, you were right. There is a massive tear in the blackness of my soul. Got the words wrong, and it through me off for the whole night. :( I am shamefully hung over :cry: , wife hates me :cry: , and I missed a chance to say hi to the band. :shock: :cry: Got any incantations to mend that tear? If not, at least I'll have the t-shirt. :)

Eric V- hope you had a good night last night. Sounds like you are a little hungover though.

Glad to hear everyone had a great time!

Give the dear Mrs V the MacRua line. I'm sure that will mend things. Or, "honey, let's go to New York for a few days."

I think it wouldn't mend things, it would probably end things.
