YNot Bob ... Why WYPD ?
 

OK, bloody stupid question to ask post event, but BrettJ and I just talking and both realized we neither had any clue as to the "history" of what we were partaking in.

So fill us in if you would be so kind.

:thumbsup

bump for an INCREDIBLE response...

I too would like to know

May even say the answer would be worth some INCREDIBLE DOLLARS !!

:thumbsup :winkwink: :thumbsup

Well....

Lindsay, Im a bit dismayed you havent figured it out yet, seeing as how those Webmasters who attend the WYPD are the ones who get "IT"

but Ill tell you and Ill tell you as soon as you and I are comfortably alone...and you buy me a shot of good tequila

:)

Don Julio has your answer.

The chicken got "IT" too :upsidedow

Webmaster Ynot Party Destination?

It all started during Roberto's first trip to Mexico in 1977 where he discovered the joys of homosexuality......

Hey now..:1orglaugh

Ask him about the Mexican prision!

were you the pitcher or the catcher Rochard??:Graucho

I get "it"



wypd... looks a lot like ....wiped..... yes?



and what did most of us do?

get wiped out...

now wheres that good tequila :winkwink:

Now thats a scary thought you can get lost in the shuffle there !

I must have been the catcher because in 1977 I was only nine years old.

What a shame. No, you don't get it at all.

It's difficult to put into words, but I'll attempt to define "it" as the feeling that comes over you as you prop your feet up while over looking the beach with a shot of tequila in your hand and suddenly all of the stress and pressure from daily life leaves your body and you look out over the ocean you are stunned by how complicated life really yet you discover how simple the problems in your pathetic little world truly are and then "it" hits you: Your going to do nothing for the next four days but relax.

That "it" and that's all.

Nah, Roberto seems more like a pitcer than catcher to me...

OH Deej Deej Deej......................I know you are a rookie.............but I really thought you "got it"

:(

I have shamed my mother ....


I still get the tequila right?

sippin that bottle you got me as we speak, coding up this gallery gig for ya...


i guess if I didnt get "IT" then we will have to try again, when shall I shedule my flight..(early this time)

That I did get...

I mean, I lived that.... and it was ... grande!


but i believe the question is....why WYPD...

as in where does the accronym or what have you come from?


am I still not getting it?

Now thats the spirit!!!!! :thumbsup


I think you are closer to "getting it" than you realize :winkwink:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh OMG he takes two steps forward and 3 steps back!!!

:winkwink:

I'll go now...

Does anyone here think that the Wiseman RV got "IT"?

So Rochard...you must be talking about how I felt when I took this picture in Bocas -

Does that mean I get "it"? :)

I figured "wiped" or somesuch, and Andre sort of confirmed (so he got that "it" wrong as well), which we pretty much all got, but I knew the feeling as I described "smashing the white man's clock" when we went to breakfast - the feeling that the world turns at the time you want it to, no one else matters at all.

Before going, my boss Ben at LionDollars asked what I expected to achieve business-wise at YP.

My reply?

Not much at all actually, consider this one annual leave mate, I'm getting absolutely trolloped for 4 days and could not give a rats arse.

;-)

So I get "it" on that level.

On many others I expect as well.

But being a TLA sort of guy, with a yearning thirst for useless trivia, I found myself seeing if there actually was a deeper (or shallower) meaning.

But now I believe I understand, and TRULY get "it" - it means whatever the fuck you want it to mean why you do whatever the fuck you want to do with an awesome group of people for 4 days.

I think that stuck when I realized ****I**** felt like the techno-nerd because I seemed to be the ONLY one lugging a laptop into base camp on Day Numero Uno.

So as I lean back typing this, looking at the Mexican national flag hanging proudly on my wall, fondling Jorge's spotted jungle panther claw around my neck, wondering if the therapy for the chicken will actually work (and not really caring) and recalling the 4 hours sleep in 4 days, and that I introduced to "older-timers" to their first experiences with individually different types of illicit substances, and had them thank me for it, for the shared experience and their level of comfort in my company was the issue, and smiling at the old friendships cemented and the new ones forged with an incredible group of people, I think at last I smile and nod and understand WYPD for what it is.

Thanks Bob, for knowing I WOULD get "it" even if I had already and did not already know it.

And thanks to EVERYONE who also gets it for sharing that experience with me.

NOW I also get why my head as been spinning and the enormity of it all.

I love you guys.

Truly and honestly and unreservedly.

Thankyou.

xoxoxo

P.S. I also now get the significance and meaning of the Mexican belt buckle gift

Rock on people and roll on 2007.

:thumbsup

He GETS "IT" !!!

Viva La YPMexico!!


Bring on 2007!!!

:wetkiss We love you too babe. Make sure you take those memories out and dust them off often ;)

My "Mexican Belt Buckle" is hanging in the dining room.

Awesome "hazing" gift.

Will ALWAYS have pride of place wherever I may lay my hat.

:thumbsup

Mwah.

I do not think that will be ANY effort at all.

xoxoxo

I can't follow this at all.

I shudder at the thought.

I think a few of you all touch on what "IT" is....Rochard and Z most of all..

But nobody has the WYPD down yet...

Like Ryulion states....Don Julio has the answer...

OK, tequila next time we see each other it is then !!!

:winkwink: :thumbsup :1orglaugh :pimp
