Of Sinister Cabals and more Sinister Beverages

I finally got around to downloading the images off my digital camera from last week's meetings of the Sinister Red Ensign Cabal ^TM

SUNDAY

note: pictures were taken at approximately drink six. All subjects are much smarter looking than this...



From left to right:

• Chris Taylor
• Nick Packwood
• me

It was a particular pleasure to meet both Nick and Chris on my first Sunday, as I have been an admirer of Nick's since his head-on tackling of the CBC over their absurd stupidities during the coverage of the Columbia incident. It was strange to meet someone that I knew only through correspondence, and see that they are very much the real deal in person.



Minus the English accent I always pictured him sporting...

Chris Taylor is a gentleman and scholar. And knows some damn fine alcohol. A fine man to know, and has probably the best looking blog in the land.



He was also the only guy I would recognize so I wouldn't get lost at the second Sinister Red Ensign take over the world^TM.

Thursday

From left to right:

• me
• Damian Brooks
• Nicholas from Quotaliciousness
• non-blogger, the delightful Wanda
• Chris Taylor

At this point the group is relaxed and making fun of the first blogger to leave the table, and token Leftie^TM:



Alan McLeod of GenX at 40 and A Good Beer Blog. Nicholas has some spy camera photos of the night, including the giant hunks of meat consumed at the carnivorous end of the table.

In response to your spy clicking, Nicholas, I also have photos of you:



Of course, Nicholas was the only one following the patriotic better-Canada dress code that night...

---

Why is it that Chris Taylor appears to be brooding over ordering a hit on someone in every shot that I've taken of him?

---

And, of course I'm confused. I'm the evil twin right? Not Damian?



The guy with the goatee is always evil right? So I must be the evil twin? But the good twin's name is Damian: we all know who the most famous Damien of all was, right?

And there's this:



which proves my point that Damian Brooks is my evil twin, and not the other way 'round. (The Cartman with the goatee was good and pure of heart, see!)

...How'd I get on to this topic? Must be the residual alcohol in my system reactivating on seeing these pictures. Damned Pavlovian-response!
