The only downside, I say the _only_ downside to the lovely **Elle** n, the Brown Eyed Mommy, bringing along her progeny is… [sub]we can’t kidnap her and take her with us to Louisville[/sub]. Unless she brings along jammies and a change of skivvies for the **Ellenettes**. And what are the odds of that happening? Don’t worry **Ell** s, if dumb ol’ **Shibb** doesn’t give you the attention you so richly deserve, I’m sure _someone_ could take up the slack. (Not sayin’ who or nuthin’.) And I want a shot glass too. (But I won’t get all pouty about it if I don’t get one. (Not to say **Zap** would get pouty. No _he_ would _never_ get pouty. He’s a manly-man and manly-men don’t pout.) There’s a better than even chance I’ll get back to Lexington _sometime._) Hey, speaking of my pal **Zap** , does the presence of the Lansing Lexus take the driving reigns out of your hands **Shibb**? And **think** is coming along too, right? It’ll be me and you and **Zap** (the real-man wheelman) and **think** tooling far and wide on this… whatever it is? Should I get more Little Debbie Snack Cakes? -Rue. ---

Should I get more Little Debbie Snack Cakes? Hey, hey, hey there! There’s plenty of Lansing Lexus to go around. We can take turns driving, or if it’s only gonna be the four of us traveling through the woods of Kentucky and Indiana [insert “Dueling Banjos” here] it’s cool. I originally brought up the LL because I thought we’d have enough to fill two or three autovoitures. If not and **Shibb** or **thinksnow** wants to drive that’s fine with me. It’d probably be better to have somebody who knows his way around do the driving anyhoo. But if they want, we can put the miles on the Lansing Lexus. . . As for Little Debbies, I’ll have to stop and getchyas some Tastykakes. You’ll never look at a Little Debbie the same way again. [sub]Man, that doesn’t sound so good when you say it that way. . .[/sub] And **Snickers** , don’t cry. Of course the **FairyChatProxy** is going with us. And we’ll take plenty of pictures and call ya on the phone, and talk about you, and think about you and when we see you for real we’ll give you big wet smooches and tell ya all about the trip and send ya postcards and everything!

I believe the kitchen table at Booka Dee BehPoh only seats 6. I think we may be able to get the Pope’s Head Table if we call soon. I am not basing this on any facts whatsoever, not even on a rumor that I heard from a friend of a friend (or a friend of a fiend for that matter). I’m basing it on a hunch (not a hunchback) so you know it’s for real. ---

So I spoke with the fine peeples down at bewpa di Boca Raton. I have reserved a table for 10, at 5:30 pm, on Friday 14 December. Now this may change, depending on everyone’s availability. But I wanted to err on the side of having a reservation. Unfortunately the Pope was booked, he’s doing Vegas with Wayne Newton. Actually, we need to have 12 folks, but I didn’t have a real count so I just took a guess. Kind of depends on how many family members **Rue** and I bring, just the two of us plus little women and kidlets is 8 people. Add **Zappo** and **thinksnow** is 10. Add **The Mermaid** and **RandomL**? is 12. Add **Tevya** and Mr. **Ya** and we’ve got a full 14. And that’s just from the top of my head, it doesn’t include the people that I’m not counting\*. Now I am not sure if Mrs. ShibbOleth and the Olethlings[sup]TM[/sup] are up for these shenanigans. But if **Soupo** and **Katcha** come then they’ll _have_ to come. So you can see my quandry. I made the reservation early because, well, that’s when kids eat. Plus when I was looking for the reviews they said the wait on weekends can be really long. And kids, especially in the all important 2-10 years old demographic don’t hold up so well under the stress. Feedback? [sup]\*I’ve not yet gone back through this thread and looked for everyone who raised their hand, but I think there may have been a couple of others.[/sup] ---

Please come **Crafter\_Man**! You’re an OhDoper and I’m sure that means you are not an outsider. You may be an **outee** but we’ll have to wait until we see you to determine your belly button status. **Shib** , I’m a bit unclear as to what you meant by “We need to have 12.” (That’s actually a paraphrase and not a direct quote.) Does that mean that you needed to guarantee 12 people before we could get an audience with His Royal Pointy Hatedness (that is hat-edness and not hate-dness)?

Now that we’ve established I will be attending the Friday night festivities (even sans Pope), I’ve decided that I need a role (what can I say, I saw that awesomely coded table and got jealous). I at first thought I would be the perky Markie Post but I am neither blond nor especially perky. Maybe I can be Counselor Troy (I’ll have to wear heels, get a long, curly black wig and a skin tight catsuit but it could work!). ---
