Sadly, nope, can’t make it - taking the car in for service that day, which means I’ll be late to work anyway, and I can’t take the extra time for a long lunch. Perhaps I should find me a job away from the Shakopee area. Snicks ---

Diogenese - Dianetics - more of Gazelle’s plot to get us to take the Scientology test to discover if we need help or can help others. (Still can’t make it…also in Shakopee…but I’d drive up if I didn’t already have a hot date…ok, not hot date, just a lunch with a former coworker I haven’t seen for a few years.) ---

**rubes** , whatchoo talkin’? Not the Market BBQ. **Ethilrist** , you bonehead. It’s where we first met! MarketPlace Cafe in downtown Minneapolis, located on the corner of 11th Street and Nicollet Mall (1070 Nicollet Mall). ---

You know what I just realized? We need to make this earlier. At noon, that place will be super-crowded. Will 11:00 AM work for everyone? ---

No fish? Hmmmm. Gazelle, it didn’t get relly busy until 12, so 11:30 or even 11:45 could work. I may or may not attend, I’m heavily involved in yet another rousing game of “Fun With Numbers”. It’s the parent companies turn. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/big-changes-to-minneapolis-semi-monthly-dopelunch-on-november-21/214123.md?page=2)
