R.I.P. FAC

Well kids, I think that's all she wrote.

After a good long time, we are saying goodbye to our regularly scheduled FAC. I was hoping to make it to our two year anniversary at least, but it turns out we are just too disorganized, and losing a key organizer is going to hurt us even more. Thanks to all of you who participated over the many months. Stay tuned for occasional special event FAC notices (like the upcoming ABSOLUTE event, and the Prom, both in April.

Also stay tuned for humor! I am full of it!

Happy Belated Easter!

FAC Goodbye

We all should know by now that AA is moving to Craig, and hopefully some of us will be there for her final send-off for FAC tonight.

We will all miss her and she had better come visit a million times a year.


















So as sappy as it may be, come to Coopersmith's tonight at around six-ish (Poolside) and have a beer and a slice and get your butt kicked at pool by AA before she has to drive over big mountain passes into the land of no martinis.

“The sway of alcohol over mankind is unquestionably due to its power to stimulate the mystical faculties of human nature, usually crushed to earth by the cold facts and dry criticisms of the sober hour.” -- William James

FAC-tulose

So Julia's cat was very ill earlier this week. Lactulose is the name of a medication she has to take to help her go to the toilet, like Metamucil. Let's all wish the little Dag-nabbit a speedy recovery and wish Julia good luck with the 5X a day meds/feedings/diaper changes. She is getting ready for kids I guess? LOL!

(You know how I like rhyming things, hence the name of this week's FAC post!!)

So you all know I like to knit. And I am a huge geek. So I give you a picture of this guy:



















This is Jim Carroll. You may know him as the author of the very popular book-turned-movie "The Basketball Diaries."

He is also a poet, a punk musician, and a knitter! "In fifty plus years, claims to have knitted more than 6,500 hats and scarves for nieces, nephews and coworkers."
Right on.

As far as I know Leo does not knit. There are pictures of Russell Crowe with knitting in his hands:















I don't think he actually knows how, though. You can add Lawrence Fishburne to the list of men who knit, as well as James Buchanan (15th President of the United States!).
If anyone ( male or female) wants to knit with me, let me know! I can teach!

OH! FAC! Well as you know, Mystical, our favorite unicorn, has galloped over the Rocky Mountains to seek her fortune! So I will go to O'dells Tap Room for one or two beers at 4:45ish I think, and then mosey on from there to the Surfside or something...all the while missing or prance-y friend!

FAC minus

Well here we are again, with a lame-ass FAC about to not happen. I think that we may just be all old and tired or something. Actually it is because YOU ALL are old and tired. I just don't want to go drink in the afternoon alone because it makes me look bad... I mean worse.

SO, I am going to go not drink at some Old Town bar by myself. Hahahah.

And now, pictures of everything I have ever knit.
Just kidding. But check out the cool knitting/crochet below:

From ART MOCO blog, yes he knit a Spiderman costume.

















This Atari Breakout Pillow from Jackrabbit
-- where the Jackrabbit? -- on Etsy!














Can't afford iPhone? Have Grandma knit one for you!

























Can't afford a Darth Vader costume? Crochet one!

















Can't afford this Ferrari? Too bad! Hhahahaha!














Wait! Yes you can, just knit it yourself!
Yes it is fully hand knit!














Can't afford condoms? Well don't have sex. (Or get some for free at your local Planned Parenthood. w00t!)
But as a cute little safe-sex education tool or a funny gift, a knit condom:















WARNING: KNIT CONDOMS DO NOT PREVENT PREGNANCY OR THE TRANSMISSION OF STDs such as the HIV. So if you have a knitting kink, I suggest you wear a real condom under this, okay? Thanks have fun you crazy kids!
