Group Grope

The other day my friend Pundista, invited me to a Democratic get-together at her place of employment and my favorite company, Adaptive Path. I had to decline as my travel to research two-seater shitters is imminent.

But what an event. It scares me to even think of the power in the room. Everyone's favorite group grope candidate (at least for the Women Of Adaptive Path), Gavin Newby and special guest star, Charlie Brown!

I do however believe that my friend Pundista may actually be Lucy Van Pelt, Charlies nemesis. Check out these conversations as captured at the Charlie Brown/Gavin Newby fun-fest:

Lucy Van Pundista: You DO think I'm beautiful, don't you, Charlie Brown?
[pause]
Lucy Van Pundista: You didn't answer me right away. You had to think about it first, didn't you? If you really had thought I was beautiful, you would've spoken right up. I know when I've been insulted. I KNOW WHEN I'VE BEEN INSULTED.
Gavin Newby: Good grief.

Later, after many glasses of wine, Lucy (Pundista) could be heard interogating Charlie and Gavin:

Lucy Van Pundista: Are you afraid of responsibility? If you are, then you have hypengyophobia.
Gavin Newby: I don't think that's quite it.
Lucy Van Pundista: How about cats? If you're afraid of cats, you have ailurophasia.
Charlie Brown: Well, sort of, but I'm not sure. I support PETA and all...
Lucy Van Pundista: Are you afraid of staircases? If you are, then you have climacaphobia. Maybe you have thalassophobia. This is fear of the ocean, or gephyrobia, which is the fear of crossing bridges. Or maybe you have pantophobia. Do you think you have pantophobia?
Charlie Brown: What's pantophobia?
Lucy Van Pundista: The fear of everything.
Gavin Newby: THAT'S IT.
