I’m making an executive decision saying that we’ll meet at 7:30 p.m. That’ll give Balance plenty of time to go to class and still make it to the restaurant. Any objections? Good.

So, if I ditch my obligations Thursday night, I can actually meet you guys?

That would be _so_ cool!

I’m making arrangements with my obligations so they know they’re being ditched and it won’t be a surprise.

I will be at Red Hot ‘n’ Blue Thursday night at 19:30.

A drunken SkySlash will arrive wearing a leather catsuit, carrying chains, lubrication, and an instruction manual to show him how to put it all together. But he’s not gay. 🙂

Why my dear Aglarond…

Palmyra and Grace will be there no?

An Orgy was mentioned…and well…I had actually hoped to get Palmyra into the Catsuit, Grace into the leather, and my self chained to the table for thier general amusement.

The lubes and manual…well…no comment 😉

OMG! You guys are making me laugh here. I have a long term substitute working in my office and she keeps looking over me. I’m sure she’s wondering why I’m laughing.

Is the manual perchance a magazine of some sort?

Welcome, Pete.

> Induction Manual? Check!

I couldn’t figure out what to do with an _Induction_ Manual (_Instruction_ manual, OK; _Seduction_ manual, Ok). I had to look it up. I came across this definition: 1. The act or process of inducting or bringing in; introduction; **entrance; beginning;** commencement.  
I suppose that is why he keeps the _Lube_ and the _Manual_ together.  
(This is how you start: Apply lube here. …)

I found another definition that was kinda wierd, though it didn’t apply to this situation.  
1: a formal entry into a position …“he was ordered to report for induction into the **arm** ” That example is a little hard to understand or we’re talking about very big arm, maybe Big Tex.

Ok, I have a little too much time on my hands today.

Here are some more definitions for _induction_…

**Electricity.**

1. The generation of electromotive force in a closed circuit by a varying magnetic flux through the circuit.  
_(Sounds kinky - like some kind of erotic electrocution…)_

**Logic.**  
The process of deriving general principles from particular facts or instances; also, a conclusion reached by this process.  
_e.g., “Through **induction,** we determined that because in each particular instance of meeting a DFW Doper, said Doper turns out to be a little weird, DFW Dopers in general are not wrapped too tightly and thus would not be effective electromagnets.”_

I will most certainly be there 🙂

A cat suit, eh…? hmmmm… sounds interesting 🙂

Sweet. Palmyra in a catsuit, Grace in leather, chains, and the ensuing sitcom, “SkySlash’s Dungeon of Pain.” Can’t wait.

Well this thread died, didn’t it? Bumbity bump bump bump. The hockey game’s on, so I’m outta here. I’ll be very disappointed if nobody’s posted by the first intermission. It just isn’t like the group responsible for the most simulposts in one thread to be this quiet.

Sorry, man, I had to go to the store. Had to resecure my little micro-environment. Needed cat food & bird food.

If I feed the cats, they hang around on the patio.  
If I feed the birds, they hang around out by the back fence.  
If I don’t feed the cats, they go looking for the birds.  
If I don’t feed the birds, they come up to the patio looking for food.  
Either of the last 2 are not really good things.

Now if I could just feed the cats enough that they still wanted that damn squirrel that strips my pecan tree before I get a single pecan, now that would be ok.
