Ah, the Usual Gang of Idiots, as Mr. Gaines was wont to put it? Cool, see you there. ---

Hey, watch who you’re calling a gang. We may be idiots, but we’re a loosely-organized collective, not a gang. ---

“Loosely organized” is right. I can’t _believe_ you guys totally spaced reminding me on Thursday as you usually do. What’s the word? We on? ---

Yes, I’ll be there. I just haven’t been able to get on the board to post what with the board’s slow response time added to the fire in tunnel in Baltimore, which has our ISP even slower than normal too. ☹ See you at noon. ---

…but I’m going to have to bag it this week. Prior considerations are outliving their expected lifespans. IOW, I got sh\*t to do I can’t avoid today. ☹ ---

Yep, I’ll be there and Sqrl was planning on it too. Olentzero, won’t they even let you out of your glass prison cell for an hour with your most favorite Dopers in the world? ---

I just had a meeting thrust upon me for 11.30. I don’t think it’ll take a half-hour, so don’t wait for me. If I’m not there at 12.05, go ahead and eat without me. ---

“Not today, Zurg.” You all know the (previously) unstated law of these kind of things: sometimes even the regulars can’t make it. I’m there next time, though. ---

It’s that time of the month again! Time for the DC Lunch Bunch to get together! I have a doctor’s appointment in the AM, so I’m going to be late to work. However, if it runs long, and I’m really late, then my attendance might be in jeopardy since this has been yet another Hell Week at work, and I don’t know if I can duck out for an hour for lunch. I’m gonna try, though. ---

I may try and crawl in there today. See you at noontime, hopefully! ---

I just got back from the doctor’s, and I think my boss is taking off for the day. So, I should be there, too! ---

I’ve got a class at work tomorrow thru Friday. So unless they let us out way early on Friday, I’m a no-show this week. ☹ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dc-lunch-bunch/38283.md?page=11) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dc-lunch-bunch/38283.md?page=13)
