Alright, I'll admit that this is a shameless attempt to meet you other monks, but here it goes anyway:

For the next year, until Christmas 2003, I'll take any monks that come visit to the Appalachian Brewing Company for all the beer they can drink (yes I know this can be expensive) and food they can eat. Since I live on the confluence of Interstates 81, 83, and the PA Turnpike, I figure any monks that are passing through the area can stop by.

I don't know what success I'll have, but for every monk that visits, I'll post their total bill for the evening on my home node. A special prize will go to those monks who spend the most (of my money mind you).

If this doesn't bring any visitors to Harrisburg, PA, no big deal, I haven't lost anything. If I meet a bunch of monks then cool. I'll be poorer, my wife may not be pleased, but cool.

    LOL, buzzcutbuddha,

    I grew up in Harrisburg, PA (Middletown actually), but this is the only rational reason that I have ever heard for going to visit PA (or Pennsyltucky as I am wont to call it). (Oh yeah, I guess there's the fam too...)

    I'll definitely be there sometime in the next 12 months - so who knows? I'll look you up! :) And if you've seen my home node pic, you'll know you're in little danger of entering the poor-house from me.

    Is there a special prize for the one who took the longest way? If then I'll add you on my big US-trip next year :-)

    Europe rulez

      Sure. The monk who comes the farthest will also get a special prize.

    Now I can drink throw up and drink again right?

    Got a prize for the best Mr. Cresole impersonation?

    There's more than one way to do it, just don't use my way.
