[Cleavage Monkey]

You post it in the forums and you are bound to get people not from Ottawa posting.

How much does it generally cost, there? >.<;; I have a bit've extra cash to blow, so I'll probably drop by if the prices aren't obscene.

You can get a medium bowl of soup for about $6 +tax

Cool :) We'll likely be in the market later on if you decide to go to the concert.

[SpiderTroll]

hmmm I dunno....

I think I can go, but for some reason I can't help but think there is something i am doing...

I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND HOW UNWISE SOME FIRST-YEARS ARE.

[Derfel]

I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND HOW UNWISE SOME FIRST-YEARS ARE.

You're an RA? I was an RA!

[Lopert]

You're an RA? I was an RA!

I'VE BEEN AN RA FOR 3 YEARS NOW.

BACK TO THE TOPIC AT HAND,

I GET TO SHOOT RESIDENTS, THEN GO LOL ABOUT IT OVER PHO AND DRINKS, AWESOME

[Radiojock]

I'mma have to check with the social committee (my gf), but I may be able to do this, if I get out of the 6 other things we're both supposed to somehow be at on Saturday.

This sounds more appealing.

(But the Pho place across the street from that one is WAY better.)

[fab]

which one is that, Ryan? in that area, I've only ever been to the one in the photo

[Radiojock]

which one is that, Ryan? in that area, I've only ever been to the one in the photo

I always get the names screwed up, since they're all "Pho Bo Ga" and "Pho Bo La" and "Pho Bo Ha Ha Ryan, You No Pay Attention!", etc.

It's DIRECTLY across the street from that one though, I believe. Looks more lke a house, but it's the best one around there, by far.

[robotmansa]

It's Pho 1, I believe.

[fab]

The one that has almost the exact same name -- something like Pho Bo Ga L.A. ? (I seem to remember the L.A. part -- it had a blue sign too, was just on the opposite side of the street) first time I went out for pho with everyone, I was kind of confused and didn't know if I was supposed to be at that one.

[Freezerburn]

The one that looks like a house sound have a red sign. It's called Pho Bo Ga King. The one beside that with the blue sign is Pho Bo Ga LA. The one we go regularly is the New Pho Bo Ga LA.

I know my pho.

[TheEpigone]

Dammit guys, I need pho now.

[Lyynyyrd]

Why not have like, a traditional BARBEFUCKINGQUE or something awesome like that?

[Lopert]

RJ, I will trust the asian man's decisions when it comes to pho. :P

Is it really that good? might have to try it some day then.

[pinkninja]

+1

Can you all please confirm either in this thread or with me if you will be able to make it to pho fo sho?

It's going to be super busy, and I'm thinking we'll have ~15 people. The extras will have to sit on Optik's lap.

Cheerio

[McPwned]

The extras will have to sit on Optik's lap.

Aw dang, I'm there

[Derfel]

The extras will have to sit on Optik's lap.



Is feature, not bug?

[Lopert]

I will be there

[null]

Will definitely kick my own ass out the door to be there. Probably early. Because I'm OCD about that shit. Yay. *ahem* Yes.

[SpiderTroll]

I'll be there.

[fab]

I'm waffling. but I should be there...

school is crushing my soul. which probably means that I should go for that sake alone

mmmf. I'm torn. tilting ever so slightly towards yes.

I hate school :(

[Radiojock]

If the retard-a-drama that is my friends organizing a semi-secret out night for a friend of mine doesn't get ye-olde 86, I'm out.

if it DOES, I'm in.

[Matt]

I'm going to have to make another bad impression and miss this one too.. I'm still recovering from a flu bug I caught last weekend (from being at Scotiabank for the metallica concert the week before) :( I don't think anyone wants me coughing in their Pho or to meet me for the first time drugged up and high on meds. :lol: :(

[SharpShooter]

It is my mom's birthday on the Saturday so I will be doing something for dinner but if you guys go out for drinks after pho let me know and I will come meet up with you guys.

[pinkninja]

Thanks for the RSVPs :) Please keep them coming


Why not have like, a traditional BARBEFUCKINGQUE or something awesome like that?

Korean bbq at Johnny's place! jk ;)


Aw dang, I'm there

New face, nice :)

?


I will be there

wut wut! (ps is Mel coming? It would be awesome to catch up with her, too)

I'll be there.

Will you be bringing your gf and xmas tree? Or will one seat be ok?


I'm waffling. but I should be there...

I'm going to take that as a no... but I can sincerely say that I am very confused.

Good call. We will see you at the next pho gathering :)

Cool, yeah, either myself or someone else will text you with an update after pho.

You know, taking a break for once might help with your mental illness..

If you were to stop trolling the forums it might help him and possibly others to.

[Lyynyyrd]

If you were to stop trolling the forums it might help him and possibly others to.

I offered sound advice, that's hardly trolling.

[null]

New to you, perhaps. :P Been around for... ages. Just haven't gotten around to showing up at many of the gatherings. Met a few've the guys at the Transformers premiere thingy a while back, at least. Saying I'm anti-social would be a bit've an understatement.

Now, if only Gabe could come up, so I could slap him in person... *sigh*

[pinkninja]

New to you, perhaps. :P Been around for... ages.

Yeah, definitely meant new to me :)

[Derfel]

Lyynyyrd got banned. This calls for... Pho? (Tee hee hee...)

[Sweetlou]

[TheEpigone]

Lyynyyrd got banned. This calls for... Pho? (Tee hee hee...)

It sure does. However, screw pho, LAN Saturday... w00t! :))

[McPwned]

Oh, sorry, I can't actually come. I was just making an off-the-cuff remark about wanting to fondle Optik or something.

I have much work to do and roughly 7/ceiling[483/24] of the time to do it in.

[Freezerburn]

Korean bbq at Johnny's place! jk ;)

Did you end up going to Korean BBQ in Toronto after all? I mean, it's a stop I always make when I bring people to Toronto.

And of course, I'll be there.

[manofphat]

And of course, I'll be there.

I want to see your NR rum and coke count go up to at least 30.

P.S. I'll be there but I'm on-call all weekend so I might have to bail at the last minute

[null]

Noooo! And I was planning on seducing you, too... /sigh. Guess I'll have to settle with hitting on Pink.

[Mike-KT]

I'll be going for Pho, if there are 3 people in sandy hill who need a ride let me know

[SpiderTroll]

I'll be going for Pho, if there are 3 people in sandy hill who need a ride let me know

I'll take a ride!!!

and also ninja it will be just me sans xmas tree or gf (she's meeting up with other friends).

[Lopert]

I'm bringing the gf, so +1

[Shredd]

Have fun guys, I'm out at a birthday party somewhere past Carleton Place.
Maybe next time ;)

[ukm]

Bad weekend for me ;( But I am coming out to one of these things eventually! I want to be best friends with 0ptik.

[fab]

I will likely attend out of principle, namely, that school shouldn't always hang over my head and I should try to take some time apart for my own sanity (a fact of which I am well aware, no thanks to lynyrynyrnyrdyrnrynrd).

so add me on the list I guess?

on a happier note I'm reaching that point of blissful apathy where I may be able to actually function with regards to school, thanks to simply not giving a fuck. this may be progress

[Sweetlou]

dat a man go get ur pho on

[Derfel]

<3 lou

[pinkninja]

Thanks to everyone for the RSVP :) Made a reservation under my name (Jessica) for 18 people. There will be 2 tables of 9. It's not too late to add more people, but just send me a message before 5pm tomorrow.

Can't wait for tomorrow night. I'm thinking I might try some Viet beer... we'll see.

LOL ok well good luck

No, it was a pretty busy weekend, so I didn't end up having a chance. I'll have to hit it up next time I visit :) Which place is your favourite?

Alcohol and first impressions... what could possibly go wrong? I'm in.

[Freezerburn]

There are a couple places I like. My favourite place is in Koreatown but the place I take a lot of people is near Eaton Centre.

I know all the places.

I am so low on cash, I want to increase the count but I have no money to do so. Won't be able to reach 30.

[manofphat]

I just got called out. I'ma try and make it snappy

[fab]

cool stuff, man. I probably should've gone... it was good times meeting you, Chase. you held your own versus that hot pepper pretty solidly ;)

going home to work on papers wasn't as productive as I'd hoped it would be. I can't sleep now anyhow since I was trying to plan my schedule for the next few weeks, and the sheer volume of material is making me a bit anxious. stupid school. I should've recalled the therapeutic aspects of a social drink. oh well.

dinner was very fun, as usual. good times. still not sure who all was there since the group was so large :p

Good morning! Thanks to everyone who was able to make it out last night :D I was amazed with the turnout of 20 people.

I already posted the photos to the Northern Resistance facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/northernresistance) :)

I am NOT AMUSED.

*shh* I'm sleeping with the hotsauce *shh*

Good times though. The bar afterwards was a good cap.

I got the medium, it was sooo much pho. Lopert and KT couldn't even finished half of the large they each got. Apparently the XL is like a sink, so big you could was the three other sizes in it after you were done.

[Mike-KT]

whoa whoa, I finished what I wanted, which was the noodles and the beef. All I had left was the broth, which is just sodium, msg and a false sense of glory.

[DeathSniper]

That's the good stuff... ;)

[TheEpigone]

That's the good stuff... ;)

[null]

Oh, yeah. Thanks for setting this up, Jess. Was fun. Will definitely scrounge up the coin to drop by the next one, for at least the pho.

[Radiojock]

So, I ended up RIGHT BESIDE you guys, sorta, but couldn't get away for more than a second, for fear of someone dying.

Shanghai Restaurant, host of the FUNNIEST effing Karaoke night I've ever been near (admittedly, I don't go to them, ever really, but the Drag Queen hosting the night was re-god-damned-diculous-ly funny.)

My bad, Wish someone would've texted me the deets on whatever bar you hit after.
