598.0. "Party time" by TPVAX1::CULBERT (Free Michael Culbert) Mon Jun 19 1989 11:50

      
    
    How about a party at my place....... July 2nd in Pelham NH.
    
      Sort of a late celebration for the passage of the MacBride Bill in
    NH and a early 4th of July party.        
                                    
      I'll invite some of the people that worked on the Bill along with
    anyone that wants to come.  (even keVin)
    
      I'll supply a (new) keg of beer, hotdogs and hamburgers.  There
    will be fireworks for the wee ones.

    Gee, finally a *new* keg (of Old Milwaukee :^( !!) 
    
    Since I gave up such a *promising career* as a brit-basher in E_F,
    to work so long and hard helping to lobby the state reps and
    senators to pass the MacBride Principles here in N.H., (imagine: 
    giving up that opportunity in E_F just for "the cause"!!),
    I assume Paddy will invite me to this party - even though I
    make fun of his choice of beer. (And his height - or lack thereof!)                                 
    
    I promise I won't get as rowdy as last time, when the neighbors
    had to call the cops.
    
    And oh, BTW, to make this party complete, you should have a bonfire
    where an effigy of Attilla, the Hen (a.k.a. Maggie Dearest) is
    burned with GUSTO!!

    	PADDY: Painting an old keg "Kelly Green" does not make it new !!!

                                                                     
    	       Now a keg of Guinness in honor of MacBribe would be a
    	       nice gesture .....  :-)

    The "MacBribe" principles?  Is that a summary of YOUR principles,
    keVin?  :-)
    
    Now like I already told the aforementioned MacBribe adherent, Paddy,
    I fully expect a gold-embossed, illuminated, parchment invitation
    with half-uncial lettering delivered on a silver platter by Jackie
    Bisset in a bunny costume.  On second thought, forget the bunny
    costume. 8-o
    
    I'll be there only if you promise Drotter will retain continence
    throughout.  
    
    Slante!

    Paddy,
    
    I'm quite disappointed.  Last week when you mentioned the party,
    you talked about a convenient location.   You said it would be 
    "somewhere in-between."   Silly me, I thought you meant in-between
    New Hampshire and Rhode Island.......not Nova Scotia and Newton!!!

598.7May the road rise to meet you etc.BEING::DUNNEWed Jun 21 1989 12:4310
    Paddy, you're a great man to not only have gotten the McBride
    principles passed in NH but also to constitute the hospitality
    center of this unworthy and ungrateful notes file.
    
    I will be delighted to come and to bring something vegetarian,
    which, judging by most Celts I know, I will be the only one to
    eat.

    Now, now....I will not be made to feel quilty.  I was simply stating
    a geographic fact.
    
    As for the ginger ale:  Me mum (English, of course) always cautioned
    me against drinking alcoholic beverages in the presence of Irish
    rogues.   
    
         I always thought the warning was about the former, now
    		I know it's about the later....

598.14All roads lead to Pelham?BEING::DUNNEThu Jun 29 1989 12:0910
    Not to interrupt all this great Celtic wit, but I want remind 
    Paddy that there are those of us who don't know where he lives.
    
    Any chance of directions? I can get to the police station in Pelham,
    but I don't want to have to go in and ask directions of them. The
    last time I did that, their behavior was unlike that of a welcoming
    committee.
    
    Eileen
    
598.15Is it right or left at......PENUTS::KSULLIVANThu Jun 29 1989 12:459
    Just follow the baloons and the noise......his directions are
    usually more confusing than helpful......he finds it difficult 
    to translate the pictures in his head into words.......but he's 
    ever so sweet.....
    
                         His devoted admirer,
    
                               Murphy.
    
598.16TPVAX1::CULBERTFree Michael CulbertThu Jun 29 1989 15:5212
    
    
    OK Your wish is my command......
    
    The police station is on Windham Rd., continue past it and take
    your third  left which is Simpson Rd. The street sign is
    on a telephone pole on the right so be watchful. I live at 44 Simpson
    Rd. approx. 1/2 to a mile up the road.  You'll come to a sharp curve I live
    in a yellow duplex on the right.  There will be plenty of ballons
    on the mail box

    Paddy,
    
    Maybe I'm missing something but did you have a particular starting
    time?????????????????????????
    
    I wouldn't want to get there to early and not have any of the keg
    left for the rest of the revelers  :^)

    	How do you intend to get it back?!?   I know if your cousin
           can deliver it to Cranston.....I can get it as far north
                as Hudson and somebody else can take over from there....

Great crack Paddy.  Definitely worth exploring the wilds of NH (I was
working on Paddy's directions) to get there.

Next time, I'll make sure to recommend it to a few (hundred) people.

    What! Was there ANOTHER episode of perverted dementia at Paddy's?!
                        Conspiracies, no doubt.
    
    Oh Paddy, yer goin' to perdition....you and that 6-month old keg
                               of beer.

    I had a great time, too, but I think I will need another
    party to figure out who is the Farrell in the file and who
    isn't and whose name is really Murphy and who is just using
    it as an alias etc. And I swear I never had anything but
    Pepsi!
    
    Eileen
    
    
    
598.30Alias......Who?????PENUTS::KSULLIVANThu Jul 06 1989 14:448
    That's why.....if you drank something less sweet you'd know 
    everyone......there were at least three Farrells, several Murphys
    and Paddy's dogs (also Murphys), keVin and Kevin, Ye 3, a multitude
    of Culberts and a plethora of C & W heads......but the happiest
    of them all were the 16,000,000 mosquitos.
    
              Murphy who wasn't there but heard the reports.
