Here's another question for the lounge.

[RevolutionaryActs]

How would I sell my mom on letting me fly to the other side of country so I can hang out with known lunatics and booze hounds? :shrug:

[Dookus]

1. You've been invited to Neverland?!

[RevolutionaryActs]

3. ROFLMFAOPMP!!!!

*dies*

[Texasgal]

5. ROFLMAO!!!

Ohhhhh... my sides hurt.... ohhhhhh..... god.

[progmom]

6. Bwahahahahahahahaha

Hahahahahahhahahahaahahahahahahahahah



Snarf



Hahahahahahahahahahahaha


Phew.

[WilliamPitt]

2. How old are you?

I'm guessing that if you have to ask your mom to come here, you're probably not old enough to get into the bar we're going to.

Just sayin.' You should totally come, but if you're underage, you'll have traveled across the continent to miss the main event.

[RevolutionaryActs]

8. Well fuck

I just turned 19.

[matcom]

12. 2 years too early

sorry x(

[progmom]

23. we'll sneak her in

give her a fake mustache


or bifocals! they never card a lady with a mustache and bifocals!

[RevolutionaryActs]

26. I think I just peed my pants a little bit... LMFAO!

[yvr girl]

32. You can always come and visit me

You're legal here. Although I expect that every 19 year old in Washington state knows that bit of info.

[RevolutionaryActs]

34. Yup!

:7

[yvr girl]

28. Do you think she'd get id'd if she was with a bunch of people of

advanced age?

[progmom]

36. maybe some of these folks are available

[RevolutionaryActs]

37. But know. if I recall right WindRavenX is also 19 and she gets into bars

:o

[LynzM]

4. Pick one specific person

And tell her you really want to go visit them (I'd suggest choosing a female person). Don't make it about meeting all of us east-coast nuts, just one or two specific people!

[RevolutionaryActs]

11. Yes. That's a good idea. AND never mention Matcom...

;)

[GOPisEvil]

7. It's educational.

We're going to the cradle of the Revolution to recreate the first steps of the founding fathers. The American Revolution started in pubs!

[RevolutionaryActs]

14. Good thinking!

:silly:

[tjwmason]

18. But when we were in charge

Did we ever do anything so silly as a 21 year drinking age?

[GOPisEvil]

35. No, this is true. King George was mad, but not THAT mad.

[progmom]

9. I'm a lunatic but I really don't drink much at all

Then again. I need help convincing my husband to let me go, so nevermind...

[RevolutionaryActs]

hehehe yeah this is going to be tricky..

:o

[steve2470]

24. a very nice lunatic, indeed !

:-)

[Left Is Write]

10. Hmmm.

My mom wasn't too keen on the idea when I was thirty and flew across the country to meet an internet friend.

[RevolutionaryActs]

17. haha

Yeah.. this is an interesting sell for sure. :o

[steve2470]

13. Tell her it will help you get your education faster

We of DU are educational experts :-), in other things besides books and stuff, too.

[RevolutionaryActs]

33. HAHAHA!

This thread is so damn funny. :D

[jswordy]

15. Suggested lines

"But mom, you can rent my room out while I'm gone, for some extra money."

No? Then how about...

"I will bring you a souvenir."

No? Then how about...

"I'm gonna HOLD MY BREATH TIL I TURN BLUE!"

[RevolutionaryActs]

25. LMAO! That's bound to work!

lol

[JimmyJazz]

16. I wrote her a note:

think it'll work?

[progmom]

19. wtf?

[JimmyJazz]

29. What? Her mom's name isn't John - I can change that part.

[RevolutionaryActs]

20. LOL! tears... I have tears from laughing so hard.

[steve2470]

21. where did you find this ? lol

[yvr girl]

22. It's easier to get forgiveness than permission

Not that I'm advocating that kind of behaviour. You might see if JJ will talk to your mom. She seems respectable. Your mom doesn't need to know that she's crazy.

[RevolutionaryActs]

31. That's a good idea.

Let mom talk to JJ... yes, yes. :D

[underpants]

27. You can help her cement the decision by letting her see these

[RevolutionaryActs]

30. I can't breathe... oh my god..

[fleabert]

38. lie.

tell her it will be educational. that's kinda the truth...
