Just a thought. With all of scattered all over the globe, I thought we could all have a holiday drink together. How? Simple. We pick a day and time when most of us can log on and we all have a drink while we're logged on. Just post away like normal, but kind of celebrate the season together. Wheather it's beer, single malt, wine, egg nog or soda or milk if you don't drink alcohol. Whaddya think? Good or bad idea? I just thought it'd be nice for some friends to share some holiday spirit. My uncle and I do a similar thing called dial a shot. He lives 1500mi away and we do shots together over the phone. Please let me know what you think.

dman · 16 December 2005, 01:23 PM

Paul, I don't drink, but I would be all in for it.

JJ Irani · 16 December 2005, 03:46 PM

Great idea, Paul....I'm all for it....only thing is you guys would have to look at the time difference factor. Remember that I'm like 21 hours ahead of your west coast and then, moving from west to east, you can deduct one hour as you go along. For e.g., I am +19 Texas and +18 New York.

Go figure...

mailman · 16 December 2005, 08:21 PM

If it's too hard we could also do a timezone thing. Dunno just an idea. Anyone else with any ideas or thoughts on times,fell free to chime in. We'd almost have to do it this weekend to include the guys in the eastern hemisphere, no?

Uncle-AJ · 16 December 2005, 08:51 PM

Any ol' excuse to drink is fine by me

It's a great idea!

mailman · 17 December 2005, 11:15 AM

How's this? Monday @ 7:00pm EST? Does that work? If not I'm sure we'll all try to do what we can to accommidate each other. So, how bout it guys? Is that good? If not, we can change it.

Since I am +18 hours EST, it will never work for me, sorry. Monday 7:00 pm EST would make it 1:00 pm Tuesday afternoon in NZ. I'll be at work and I have a Firewall there...so can't post from work!!

Help us out JJ. What works for you? I'm not against getting up during the night to include everyone we can.

If you really want to know what works for me then it's between 6 to 7.30 am in the mornings and 6 to 8 pm any evening. On weekends, I could log on at a pre-arranged convenient time suitable to most of you guys!!

mailman · 17 December 2005, 08:15 PM

Ok guys it's out there. What works best for everyone? Time for everyone else's input.

baseballduck · 17 December 2005, 11:46 PM

Well lets see. Since I'm on Christmas break for two weeks

I guess any time would work for me. Depends if I remember.

Me too! I'm off from the 24th of Dec. to the 8th of Jan. Let's do it during that period if it's okay with the rest of the gang!!

baseballduck · 18 December 2005, 03:34 AM

Sounds good JJ.

Tyler

mailman · 18 December 2005, 07:01 AM

Sounds good JJ. Maybe New Year's Day? It's on a Sunday.

Paul, I am in for whenever, just say the word.

pensivedoc · 18 December 2005, 11:30 AM

I think I would dig New Year's Day, gang. I'm working through Christmas covering the hospital.

JJ Irani · 18 December 2005, 03:11 PM

New Year's Day is fine....just tell me your local EST time and I'll add another 18 whopping hours to it!!

19 December 2005, 01:09 AM

Count me in for New Years Day!!

mailman · 19 December 2005, 01:10 AM

How about 10:00am EST? Just an idea. If this doesn't work then we can change accordingly. Just thought some people may go visiting on New Year's Day and this may be conveinent. Or how about 9:00pm EST? These are just ideas guys. Let's hear some input and other ideas as far as what works.

I think either of those times would work for me, Paul.
We have a New Years Day tradition of having a dim sum brunch at a local chinese restaurant and then spending the afternoon at the Washington, DC auto show. But either time you suggested should work.

Earl · 19 December 2005, 02:03 AM

Ed, where abouts is that car show? MCI?
