Meet: Papa Gino's Portsmouth or Dover you decide!, 1/25/2008 6:00PM

[Bu11dogg2]

By popular demand.....

This weeks meet will be at Papa Gino's on Central ave in Dover NH at 6:00PM!

Hope to see you all there!

[Murphy2012]

Who was demanding this? Either way, I am in. Any way we could maybe make it the Dover one for ease of people like me coming from afar?

[banned4life]

+1 for Dover location.

[Bu11dogg2]

:lol:

you guys missed out on the long conversation we had about how it sucks to come over the bridge....

[banned4life]

:lol:

pretty sure its we go over the bridge, or they go over the bridge.

where is the democratic vote??!!

[Murphy2012]

^ +1 ;)

[Bu11dogg2]

fine, poll added

[TrickyDik]

I say poll the which location and let the people decide. I can't argue with the American way.

[TrickyDik]

pretty sure its we go over the bridge, or they go over the bridge.

where is the democratic vote??!!

In addition, you and everyone else here knows that it's far easier to hit the bridge south bound then it is going north bound with evening traffic.

[Bu11dogg2]

The votes will decide :)

Looks like Portsmouth is pulling ahead.

[banned4life]

how about a transparent vote! i am not sure if this new govt can be trusted not to stuff the ballot!

nick - i agree that the bridge is easy to go south than north at that time of day. i also understand 236 is still open which would probably be even faster to that particular dover location.

You can trust the new guberment here at SCS. Well, you can trust me...I think.

Well I seem to have bad luck with 236, one time there was an accident. Had to turn around and head up 16. Another time seemed like more traffic then 16. And still yet another time I almost got creamed by a dam 18 wheeler heading in the opposite direction, seems the driver thought his lane wasn't good enough and was going to try mine.

Either karma hates me on that road, or I just have bad luck with the number 236.

[Bu11dogg2]

This isn't Florida :lol:

[unsakred]

i voted for dover, but it matters little to me where it is. It is definately far easier traffic wise going towards portsmouth than it is coming from.

[naughtysubieXxX]

i vote dover too!!! ill be there!!!

[Bu11dogg2]

and we have a tie...

[starhm]

i thought tricky was shooting for a central location...

[Bu11dogg2]

:lol:

[TrickyDik]

i thought tricky was shooting for a central location...

Yes, you are correct. I'm not seeing your point.

Centrally located is what people want it to be. Dover, nor Portsmouth are necessarily centrally located. It depends on who is attending the meet and where they are driving from.

At the same time, it really depends on the meet maker. Since Bu11dogg2 decided to make the meet this week it's his decision on where it is. He chose to let everyone decide from two choices for the same restaurant.

[starhm]

i guess if i am correct...then you did in fact see my point. where makes no difference to me, just looking at the postings from people up to 45 min out... i guess one of them needs to set a meet and location and make the rest of us drive sometine... we would!

[Nate8409]

I'll show.

[Bu11dogg2]

either place is fine with me.

I can drive 15 minutes or 30 seconds.

[Murphy2012]

Dover is more central than the port for me...and I matter...cause im me.... :D

[Bu11dogg2]

I now have a 55.56% chance of only driving 30 seconds.

[starhm]

call a cab...do it!!! or ill pick you up. have a few...

[Nate8409]

DOUGHVER

[banned4life]

Dover still in the lead!

[TrickyDik]

This is a now win situation. Dover has a bigger interior for seating but harder for parking. Portsmouth has less seating but tons of parking.

If it ends up in Dover and I hit any kind of traffic I'm just turning around.

[unsakred]

um dover has a huge parking lot. Not just the one by the papa ginos but hannafords as well

[TrickyDik]

um dover has a huge parking lot. Not just the one by the papa ginos but hannafords as well

And during that time of day it is usually packed with people grocery shopping after work.

I've been to the Dover one at that time on a Friday night before with Jess.

[unsakred]

yeah, when I drive by it when I get out of work I rarely see it filled up. I don't think parking will be an issue at all

[TrickyDik]

Whatev. I see it filled up a lot, you don't, perhaps you just need your eyes checked again.

Like I said, I'll be there unless I hit traffic on Rt. 16. If I do then I'll just get off at the mall exit and circle back home.

may just want to take 236 fromm kittree...that is the friday route home of choice for most wanting to avoid the bridge...

[TrickyDik]

may just want to take 236 fromm kittree...that is the friday route home of choice for most wanting to avoid the bridge...

Read posts up above. I know 236 pretty well and it hates me.

[Nate8409]

And the lead increases!

[banned4life]

when does the poll close?

[Murphy2012]

I lived about a 2 minute walk from that place for 6 months. The only day it gets packed inside was typically a Tuesday or Saturday nights. There were some Friday nights, but not in the time frame we are going. I think we will be ok. As far as the traffic goes, I hope you can all make it!

[TrickyDik]

when does the poll close?

Thursday night, or no later then 12pm Friday to give people enough time to see where it will be.

I know that there are few people who haven't voted yet that are interested in going.

[Bu11dogg2]

13 people voted, 8 will show up :lol:

Please only vote if you plan to go ;)

[Iheartsubarus]

I'm going to try to make it this week. I'ts been forever since I've been to a meet.

AND!! I got my car back all fixed no more issues and running like she is breand new!

[banned4life]

the portsmouth pulls in for a tie

[Nate8409]

Dover is best!

On a related note. What are the after meet plans for ya'll.

[unsakred]

dover ftw. im going to the usual spot afterwards

[TrickyDik]

Dover FTL.

[starhm]

do you want me to drive you, tricky? 236 doesnt hate me...except for the time i was hit by a car on my bike...

maybe it hates me too!!!:rofl:

[TrickyDik]

do you want me to drive you, tricky? 236 doesnt hate me...except for the time i was hit by a car on my bike...

maybe it hates me too!!!:rofl:

See, dam road is a death trap. It's the devil I say, the devil!

And no, I don't need anyone to drive me. I'm going out that night in Manch with the girl and some friends so if the meet ends up in Dover then I'll probably have to skip it.

[Bu11dogg2]

I plan on having a few drinks afterward.

[banned4life]

I am in for Dover, out for Portsmouth. ROCK THE VOTE!

[starhm]

there are actually going to be close to '15' people there, or are some not showing based on location. i see eb's and tricky's disclaimers. i will know tomorrow.

[naughtysubieXxX]

so whats the address for the dover one??? need it for my navi

[unsakred]

one more day on the poll, so don't jump the gun!

[banned4life]

one more day on the poll, so don't jump the gun!


its a close race, and probably only 85% of the precints have reported

[unsakred]

who decides if the poll results in a tie?

[starhm]

one more day on the poll, so don't jump the gun!

there is just something fundamentally wrong with this comment coming from you, brandon... grabbing those washingtons????:rofl:

[Bu11dogg2]

who decides if the poll results in a tie?


we'll have to organize an electoral college and take it to a vote!

[Murphy2012]

^^ roger that, Id like to represent the lakes region!

[banned4life]

if the electoral college isnt flawed enough, we certainly dont need to participate it in.

if its a tie, i say we measure ave distance for each person to travel to decide which one is shorter.

[FreakBurrito]

I wish this poll was public..... then we could ban anyone who votes for a certain place and doesn't show.

[unsakred]

we'll have to organize an electoral college and take it to a vote!

i like that idea

[Bu11dogg2]

In the event of a tie the winning vote will go the person with the longest drive.

[unsakred]

oooh, that will work, now to bribe who is the farthest away

[Bu11dogg2]

as of right now it is Murphy

[unsakred]

murphy is farther than sarah?

[TrickyDik]

I wish this poll was public..... then we could ban anyone who votes for a certain place and doesn't show.

That's all fine and well, but you're banning people on a vote of location. If it turns out they can't make it to a location based on time restraints and voted for a different location then you're just being ridiculous.

But I'll tell ya right now that I voted for Portsmouth and I'm 99% sure I won't be showing for Dover if it wins, so go ahead and ban me. It'll be tough for me, but some how I think I'll manage to sleep... :rolleyes:

[FreakBurrito]

That's what I'm saying.......

If you voted for Dover and thus tipped the scales in that direction and then don't show, then you shouldn't have voted. If you voted for Portsmouth and Dover won, then if you can't go you can't go.

If you don't particularly care and voted for Portsmouth and go to Dover (Like me) the you get a cookie.

If you post mitigating factors in the thread, IE Hospital, someone Dying, Then fine. If you decide you don't like us.... and don't want to go..... then BAN and DIAF.


I'm just trying to promote a little Civic responsibility here. If you vote for a specific location for a meet, only vote IF you will positively absolutely 95% show up. (The 5% is for random **** that happens)

[TrickyDik]

I see what you mean. I agree. I just woke up after the night shift so I'm not right in the head yet. However we can't ban people for a reason like that.

[Nate8409]

And 1.

murphy is farther than sarah?

[banned4life]

I wish this poll was public..... then we could ban anyone who votes for a certain place and doesn't show.

+1 I am trying to make plans for tomorrow nite and since i dont know the location of the meet, its making it hard to plan around the 6 o clock time frame.

[Bu11dogg2]

I fail to see how its not worth the 15-20 minutes extra of driving to see friends and be social?

I could understand if it was an hour drive. but 15 - 20 minutes?

[Bu11dogg2]

+1 I am trying to make plans for tomorrow nite and since i dont know the location of the meet, its making it hard to plan around the 6 o clock time frame.


My suggestion to you is to make other plans ;)

[Nate8409]

Eugene, I know it is scary but not having a set plan is O kay. The world will continue to spin. We wont have to make any trips to the center of the Earth or to space to blow up a comet on A DEStuCTOR course with Earth.

[TrickyDik]

I fail to see how its not worth the 15-20 minutes extra of driving to see friends and be social?

I could understand if it was an hour drive. but 15 - 20 minutes?

It's worth it to see friends for sure (fo sho?). Sometimes, such as in my case, the extra 20+ minutes would certainly impede on already made plans.

Now if the plans I have were to just going out in the local area then I'd be fine, unfortunately they don't. So I'd either be able to come meet up in Dover and spend 20-30 minutes hanging out with everyone or risk missing my ride to said plans. Obviously if I'm coming to a meet I would want to see all those beautiful faces for more than 20-30 minutes.

I'm not complaining, if the meets in Dover then that's fine. If my plans change or are cancelled then I'll certainly drive up there. If not, then I'll have to skip this one. Such is the life of a social butterfly like myself :D:confused:

-1 for Dover then. Thanks for the advice randall.

[unsakred]

ooooh full name O_o

randy gives some good advice

[f1vlad]

:rofl: nate you're quite a writer :) nicely said. So unvote eb, and it will be 7:7.

[Bu11dogg2]

Trickydik,


Please remove one vote for Dover.

[unsakred]

its a tie, im so excited and nervous.. but mostly excited!

but still... kind of nervous.

[f1vlad]

Then we'll have to call Russ and Amanda ask them to vote and it will become Portsmouth meet. Democracy :)

[unsakred]

lmao no pulling a bush and rigging the vote

[f1vlad]

No, only if they decide to come.

[Murphy2012]

Its ok I can call two others to get a Dover meet! :D

[TrickyDik]

7:7 as requested.

[Bu11dogg2]

No wonder NASIOC kicked you guys off :spin:

all this bickering over a meet location.

[unsakred]

lol, well i think we should discuss alternatives this friday.

all suggestions are welcome

[Murphy2012]

I dont care either way, im just being playful!

[TrickyDik]

No wonder NASIOC kicked you guys off :spin:

all this bickering over a meet location.

I don't see much bickering, I see discussion. Bickering would involve name calling you stupid jerk...

I think you're confusing bickering with people trying to figure out if they'll be able to make it based on other plans and locations.

I don't find this any different then any other week for myself at least. If it's a location and time I can make it to then I plan to be there, if not then I miss it. We happened to make the same mistake we always make. We left the final location up to a poll, which never works out very well. Even I suggested the poll and I admit that it was a bad decision. The location just needs to be chosen by the first person willing to organize the meet. Then keep it that location, no choices. If people can go/want to go then they'll post and that's that.

We should add this to the rules of the forum IMO.

lol, well i think we should discuss alternatives this friday.

all suggestions are welcome

Way to add fuel to the fire...what was done there, seeing it.

[Murphy2012]

I agree with Nicks last post!

[Bu11dogg2]

I second it

[TrickyDik]

I second it

So you are a stupid jerk? :rofl:

Can I thirdsy on my own post? Doing it, it's done.

[Bu11dogg2]

<---stupid jerk

I guess it's better then what I have been called in the past :eek:

[somethingpink03]

Then we'll have to call Russ and Amanda ask them to vote and it will become Portsmouth meet. Democracy :)

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Russell and I already voted... for Dover.

We'll show up to whichever location is decided. Papa Gino's is Papa Gino's...

[TrickyDik]

Bad choice, bad choice.

EDIT: So since it looks like it's going to be Dover then I hope all 15 people who voted show up there (-1 for me because I probably won't make it).

[Bu11dogg2]

Looks like i'm driving 30 seconds on friday :lol:

[Murphy2012]

Ill be there with Jamie!

[TrickyDik]

Looks like i'm driving 30 seconds on friday :lol:

Looks like Papa Ginos is coming to me.

[Iheartsubarus]

I don't understand why everyone across the bridge is so hell bent on not coming over to the other side.. we don't bite..

and maybe, for once, it will be nice for us not to drive 20 minutes to a meet..

[Iheartsubarus]

or or.. there can be two meets.. po-town and dirty dover meets????

[Bu11dogg2]

That sounds conducive.

[Iheartsubarus]

which one?

[FreakBurrito]

For the record, I live in Dover, and votd for Portsmouth.

[TrickyDik]

About a month ago we had a meet at the new wings your way.

[Nate8409]

I honestly don't care where the meets are. We had one in Manchester and North Hampton.

[unsakred]

^exactly, most of the time I dont mind driving far to a meet any way

[Bu11dogg2]

I can't wait to have a pannini tomorrow :)

[unsakred]

hmmmmmmmm pizzzzzzaaaaa

[Iheartsubarus]

About a month ago we had a meet at the new wings your way.


Jeff and I didn't go because it's too expensive.. it wasn't worth going again.. and I just spent $700 on my car getting the new tranny AND a new clutch put in.. so for the past two months have been straped for cash.

[Bu11dogg2]

hmmmmmmmm pizzzzzzaaaaa


beer?

[unsakred]

they serve beer at papa gino? if so then yes

[unsakred]

Jeff and I didn't go because it's too expensive.. it wasn't worth going again.. and I just spent $700 on my car getting the new tranny AND a new clutch put in.. so for the past two months have been straped for cash.

right, im all for saving cash.. can definately hear ya on that one.

just stating that we HAVE been going over the bridge.

2 or 3 asia meets now, wyw meet etc

[Murphy2012]

I am pumped for papas, its good sheeit. As far as the meets go, no one should be complaining driving from dover to portsmouth or vice versa. Im sorry but it was probably an issue this week due to me asking Randy if we could have the Dover location. I drive an hour to Dover for the meets as often as I can. The extra half hour does take its toll. Especially when I drive home late that night, then get up early to head back to work the next day. My apologies but when I am in dover, I wont complain about the meet being anywhere within a half hour. hell, Ill even come back to the Lakes for meets.

[banned4life]

right, im all for saving cash.. can definately hear ya on that one.

just stating that we HAVE been going over the bridge.

2 or 3 asia meets now, wyw meet etc

you can add ixtapa to the list too and well as wing itz

[unsakred]

you can add ixtapa to the list too and well as wing itz

yeah, but I meant meets that have been recent

[TrickyDik]

The poll is closed. I don't see anyone else voting between now and tomorrow.

The choice is the Dover Papa Ginos. I would expect the 9 people who voted the Dover Papa Ginos to show up.

As for myself, I voted Portsmouth and have yet to figure out if I can make it to the Dover meet. Of course that doesn't really mean anything because anyone who voted Portsmouth now has a free pass from getting **** for not showing up.

OP edited to reflect the details.

[2mprzya]

i might have to remove myself from the list. i dont believe i'll be able to make it after work in time. are there events happening after?

[Jon]

I will most likely show up tomorrow night.. even if I did vote for po-town.


edit: This is Hayley BTW!! Sorry!

[starhm]

i might have to remove myself from the list. i dont believe i'll be able to make it after work in time. are there events happening after?

everyone is there for aleast an hour...late works. i am pretty sure jen and i will b there. stop by if you can.

what is up after ginos...it is dover? brandon? randy?

[wagonmafia]

im gonna be late, working in Wareham ma 2morrow. But will try get there by 7

[Bu11dogg2]

you can add ixtapa to the list too and well as wing itz


mmmm Ixtapa!

[Nate8409]

Ixtapa and Wings Itz are both good ones.

I can't wait for that steak house yeah baby!

[TrickyDik]

Well just as expected, my plans tonight were shifted some. Looks like I'll be up there for 6.

[Bu11dogg2]

Be my date Tricky?

[FreakBurrito]

I'm showing up!

[TrickyDik]

Be my date Tricky?

That's an interesting proposal.

[Bu11dogg2]

it is isn't it?

I can't find a date otherwise, so I figured a man date would be fine :lol:

[TrickyDik]

it is isn't it?

I can't find a date otherwise, so I figured a man date would be fine :lol:

Yea, I'm cool with it, Jess is busy for dinner any way so I am dateless.

[TrickyDik]

Since nate isn't making much sense I'm going to lock this thread. Usually we keep these open for general chat but it's just you two and I have no idea what Nate is trying to say.
