The only downside, I say the only downside to the lovely Ellen, 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 Ells, 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.
Hey, now! Don’t forget the FairyChatProxy!! You promised you promised you promised!!! <insert insistent foot stamping>
Will a bag of homemade snickerdoodles help you remember?!? Just asking - no reason.
Man, what I’d give to be in the car with youse guys…
my virtue?? too late
my good name?? <snicker snicker>
my firstborn child?? <thinking thinking>
Of course, if I was *kidnapped…
Look, sweet pea. Maybe where you come from it’s called the “way-way back.” Where I’m from, and everywhere else where there are right thinking people, it’s the “wayback.” The back seat? It’s called “the back seat.”
Yeah, I call myself a station wagon owner. How many station wagons do you own? Huh? Huh?
Oh no, of course you ain’t. Hey Ellen, remember. . .I’m the one with the cool car. Rue’s just passenging.
Nope, I don’t pout at all. I. Do. Not! [stamps foot and scowls]
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)? Or is he washing his hair that day regardless of how many people we can bow and scrape together?
For the Cinci thing-dig, I’ll be traveling south from Dayton. If anyone wants me to pick them up in the Crafter_Cruizer [sup]TM[/sup] (johnboy, etc.), let me know.
So this time I did go back through and look at all of the folks who have piped up in here. Some have only posted once, maybe they get intimidated by these long threads, so I will also send this in e-mail (but it’ll take longer).
Here’s who I have and where I have 'em, so far (in no particular order):

If something’s wrong, or missing, for you, please post or e-mail me and let me know. I will also send everyone on this list an e-mail, eventually.
[sub]And getting the code to do that table was a heck of a lot harder than I planned, so don’t expect to see me do it again. Ever.[/sub]
Crafter-man, you’ve been here much longer. We are the outsiders, humble plebes to the magnificence that is you. We’d be honored. And I think that johnboy fellow does need a ride.
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!).
Not Counselor Troi! Please, please, please be the perky Markie Post! Or even Ellen Foley, if you want. It doesn’t matter. I’ll take what I’m given to work with and be happy.
Because as Rue says, I! Don’t! Pout! <scowls and stamps foot>.
'Cause I’m a Manly Man. With A Plan. Coming To Ohio For Flan. All That Stuff I Just Said Here Rhymes With Stan.
[sub]As a matter of fact, I did have a couple of double bourbons this evening. Why do you ask?
OK, I’m going to bed now.[/sub]
