STOP THE PRESSES! Crap. I just figured out I’m already spoken for on the 7th and 8th. And since LOUNE and most of you would rather get together on a Sat. How bout the 15th? ---

I work 10 hours a day and that usually kills whatever day I work (which is Monday to Friday and only 8 hours on Saturday and some Sundays). Way to make a plan and then poop on it! ---

How was I supposed to know it was my niece’s fourth birthday on the 8th?! :smack: Aaaaactually, I can probably do something after. But that probably won’t be around 7 or 8:00. ---

[/QUOTE] Oh come on. She pulls that shit for 4 years..the first 4 years of her life and you aren’t wise to it yet? You know, she’s going to keep this birthday nonsense up indefinitely if you don’t stop it now. ---

We are so hardcore, aren’t we? Either Saturday’s good for me, afaik. Cake offer still stands, can’t quite remember where I put the laser tag coupons I was all bragging on, but they’ll turn up I’m sure. Conor’s sounds good, I’m always wanting to get in touch with my Irish roots. Just wish I liked corned beef, or guinness, or black and tans etc. I do loves me some potato, though! 😃 ---

Sweet, I owe you guys one. And yeh, I’m putting my foot down next year. Once someone turns 5, that’s it… no more Mr. Nice Guy. The 15th, at Conor’s, 7:00? And yes, CAKE. ---

My cake’s so good you’ll wanna run home and slap your momma for never making you one like that, baby. 😉 I just called them, and totally swooned at the accent btw, and they’re cool with me bringing cake in, so yay! If all their staff have accents like that, I’m gonna need smelling salts. ---

I was thinking big fluffy towel, but had farrrr too much class to say it, you cad. 😛 Who’s got AIM? **Rikc** seems to be fairly incognito, but is contactable that way. Anyone? ETA: the cad has AIM? You there, get ahold of DeNiro! And let’s get some PMs sent too, I hate when we come back and hear "Aww, man, sorry I missed that"s when we could be sharing our gloriousness with more folks. ---

I use iChat which uses the AIM protocol. So I think you can just click the little AIM guy under my Location. I’ll bring an extra towel, in case there are any lassies there. ---

“I use iChat” “Blah, blah, blah, blah, I’m soooooooo cool.” I’m sorry, what did you say? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/detroit-ann-arbor-a-dopefest-draws-nigh/438829.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/detroit-ann-arbor-a-dopefest-draws-nigh/438829.md?page=3)
