I’m glad you all had fun. I’ll try my best to make it to the next one. [QUOTE=tdn] Yeah, the setup of the table sort of isolated us into small groups. Next time we should go for Chinese, where we’ll get a round table. [/QUOTE] Actually, if you make it at Empire Gardens in Chinatown, I’ll definitely come. I’ll do anything for a meal at Empire Gardens . . . even . . . even [hushed whisper] _skip class!!_ :eek: ---

I just want to say that I’m not impltying any criticism of **Telemark’s** photography. I’m grateful he took the shots. I’m just sorry nobody thought to offer to shhot him. (Well, take his picture, anyway.) as it is, you’ll just have to turn these around to see him. But he’ll still have that camera over his face. ---

[QUOTE=CalMeacham] I just want to say that I’m not impltying any criticism of **Telemark’s** photography. I’m grateful he took the shots. [/QUOTE] I just want to go on record as being grateful that my face didn’t make it into the pictures. And for those who are wondering based on the shot, no, I am not pregnant. Again, not blaming **Telemark**. Blaming my stomach. ---

[QUOTE=The Weird One] I’m the one with the demon-eyes! 🆒 [/QUOTE] I was gonna touch that up, but I got busy at work. 🙂 If you want to see shots of me, go to the home page of [http://www.hikethewhites.com](http://www.hikethewhites.com) and root around a bit. It’s my hiking/skiing site for the White Mountains of NH, and there are dozens of shots of me scattered around. A round table would be fun, and Chinatown has lots of great alternatives. Then we can create a complex pattern of seat switches to ensure that we all get to sit next to everyone else. ---

[QUOTE=tdn] ☹ I’m not so grateful about that. [/QUOTE] Very sweet. But you _do_ have photographic evidence of our engaging conversation, right? > [@Robot Arm](#): > > We’re not still comparing horror stories about our pictures, are we? I would still win that war, although it would require me actually showing photos. I have a picture from when my daughter was a newborn and, in it, I bear a frightening resemblance to Howard Stern. No joke. ---

You guys are _killing_ me (but in a good way). I do appreciate it. As I posted in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=379129&page=2) (I followed the directions for link to a single post and never quite got it right), I very rarely feel even OK, so I do thank you for the compliments. Enough about me. Did the Sox win last night? ---
