Ah-Yee! DFW Dopers - wanna laissez les bon temps rouler?

Somehow I can actually see you sitting there with the legs over your head moving around the seat as the explosions leave your ass! Then to only get launched into the air by the wave of water trying to move you off the pot.

I just laughed so hard that my manager heard me through the wall and came over to make sure everything was ok.

Do not make me laugh so hard that I attract the manager!!!

Oh yeah…and Chef, the fiancee said we can come…and she’s a Cajun from Louisiana so she’ll be critiquing your food :wink:

Oh yeah…and dont ask to see her ring…she hasn’t got it yet! It’s still at Helzberg Diamonds waiting to be sized. Don’t spoil the surprise!!!

Otherwise I’ll kill you! :stuck_out_tongue:

-SS

Just talked to the wife, we’ll be there around 6 or 6:30.

I just checked the map, will probably be able to make it there quite a bit sooner if traffic is cooperative, you’re about a 5 minute drive from our apartment. 8^)

She’s a cajun but she won’t wear a mardi-gras mask? Tcha. sounds like a carpetbagger to me.grin

Does this mean she doesn’t KNOW she’s your fiancee? Or just that she doesn’t know about the ring?

In this thread, JimB and Grace said they’d help me move dirt. :stuck_out_tongue: I thought I’d try to get them and anyone else who wants to help over Sunday if it’s not raining. I’ll be bringing maps tomorrow for anyone who wants to come.

Free beer and pizza for all helpers, just tell me what you want me to get.

:slight_smile:

Hey guys. This sucks, but I’m not going to be able to make it. I’m feeling pretty sick, and my doctor says it’s my body trying to adjust to the medication.

Chef, sorry for any extra trouble you went through to accomodate my condition. I’d really love to be there, but I just don’t want to risk getting really sick somewhere else. Looks like I’m going to be lying on the couch and sucking down Gatorade tomorrow trying to stay hydrated.

Grace, happy birthday again. I’ll have a present for you next Dopefest.

Jim, drink a beer for me. Somebody needs to.

Zyada, as appealing as beer and pizza sounds right now, I think I’m going to pass. Thanks for the offer, though. :slight_smile:

And Sky, say hi to your fiancee for me. Glad I could assist in getting you in trouble at work. Anytime.

I’ll try to catch you all at the next one.

Actually guys taking a taxi or possibly even walking to and from the hotel (depending on where we land , right now Motel 6 looks to be my best bet) might be better for us. Since the LIONsob works nights we normally sleep during the day and he will be tired from driving all night when we arrive we can sleep until the afternoon.

Besides I’ve already had to make enough special requests. I hate putting people out.

I’m sooooooooo excited about this !

Ayesha, you might want to try the HomeGate Inn and Suites, which is closer than the Motel 6. the number is (214) 341-2095, and the address is 3536 West Kingsley.

I think it may be a little more expensive… the guy told me rooms are $55, and I think they’re $40 at motel 6, but it is much closer. Also, I think they have Jacuzzi rooms wink

They also said that if you arrive after 7 a.m., you won’t have to pay for the extra day.

Hope you get this before you go. I’ll email this info to you as well.

darn it, I gave you the number of the Waffle House next door to the hotel. Curse these boards for not letting people edit their posts!

The correct number is (214) 340 - 3501.

OK Chef I’ll check that one too, but I will probably go for the cheaper room. But looking at all close options can’t hurt.

We will leave between 12 and 1 am. If it’s too early to get a room when we get there, we’ll go have some coffee somewhere and wait.
