Ok ok _okay_! I’m there already! And totally forget about me being anybody’s designated driver. That would be like Courtney Love holding everybody’s stash. Let’s not do that! But I don’t need anybody being the Good Sam. I can pay my own way, but really can’t do the Dirty Santa present thing. Just too many kids here and this is too close after Christmas for my wallet. ☹ I’m there. And I promise to behave. :rolleyes: [sub] Well, I promise not to knock any dishes out of any waitpersons’ hands. If they’ll hurry back with my drink, that is…[/sub] ---

It’s okay about the Secret Santa thing, Silky. I understand completely. \ Really, your showing up at this 'Fest is gift enough for me. \ ---

**Osip** , for your post, stamped 12:01 AM, being the first to break the [SDMB No-Flirting Day](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=102587) treaty. Just BTW. ---

JESUS CHRIST. Okay, you know what? I’m stressed out–I’ve been dumped and I’m trying to work things out, I have finals, I’m in TWO shows that I have to rehearse for, plus I have A LOT of schoolwork and other miscellaneous things to do at this time, so I don’t think I’m going to be putting a Secret Santa list together any time soon because apparently very few people can confirm and STAY confirmed. Or maybe we should just call off the whole Secret Santa thing. I don’t care. Just figure out if you’re coming or not and WHERE you WANT to EAT, PLEASE. Thanks…\ ---

Hell I signed no treaty. Hell I dodged opening that thread because, frankly, I figured it would have been a joke thread full of flirting. You mean it was serious? Well, damn and I busted up the treaty on accident. Does this mean Coldie Clogs is going to wait till I get trashed and leave me in the bad part of town next time I am in Amsterdamn? Oh well 😃 I guess if your gonna screw up do it right. ---

\ Uh, it’s been brought to my attention that, being on E.S.T., I was an hour early in my proclamation (as the Reader is on Central time.) **Osip** , I beg of you, forgive me this libel, as it was not an accusation so much as a nod to the idea… **Noct** , you are doing a fine job with everything, stress not, these Fests have a way of working themselves out. Secret Santa will too. If nothing else, we can all throw names in a hat when we get there, pull them out at random and then leave the presents in one place for people to gather up and try to figure out who gave who what. Hmmm, that made sense in my head… ---

No problem Mr Snow, Heck I did not know what the hell you were talking about. Glad I was cleared, I had nightmares of waking up from a blackout somewhere in Amsterdamn, dressed in a pink Tu-Tu in a transverstites apartment. Not that I am saying Coldie would ever do that. but, take chances?
