Wow! This evening piersk and I took Queen E and Princess Dayna "out on the town" (E's been way too busy lately and in need of a "breather")--- had quite a great time as she introduced us to all the PHP celebs she's met as a writer, speaker, and community blogger. Piersk showed us his fave London nightspots before we went over the Channel to see Bunkermaster's bunker.
For this occasion, Wrox.com gave us a limo complete with wet bar, big screen LCD and DVD combo, 650W stereo, satellite 11Mbps uplink and 4-person Jacuzzi (won't say what went on there, being a 'gentleman' and all, and if Piersk does, we're all in big trouble if someone in particular finds out).
For a nightcap they flew us via secret military technology to a club in New Zealand, where we saw a fellow that looked suspiciously like Weedpacket (and had a slight whiff of schnapps) dancing mostly naked on the bar with a fake tattoo that said "YAPHPT" in binary. Piersk was off somewhere with Dayna, and while I kept a watchful eye on the Queen, E, having had more O'Douls than she should have at this point, hollered loudly "Hey, I'm Bambi Judd!" and began stuffing his G-string full of G-notes; I just enjoyed the fact that she was actually having a good time, and looked forward to the starshhhhhhh plane ride back to Louisville to drop her off 😉 😉. Of course, where Piersk and I are going to get $3700 to replace her grocery funds for April we're just not at all sure ATM.
In other news, Microsoft purchased the Zend corporation today for $113 million USD.
Finally, if you believe any of this, you've not noticed the date of this post at the very least; it's also possible you're not familiar with the significance of said date. I might also add that these "regulars", as far as I know, are people of generally good character, and the events suggested are entirely fictional and will never happen; any resemblance to actual events is entirely coincidental. But didn't we need something here for today?
