Despite this [vicious attack upon my character](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=103960) in the Pit, **scotth** and I have decided to settle aside our substantial differences via the traditional Texas method of score-settlin’. Refreshing beverages will begin to flow at 7:00 p.m. Friday (March 15) at the Flying Saucer in [Addison](http://www.beerknurd.com/addison/map.shtml). And what would a friendly Texas score-settlin’ be without spectators? So lock the kids in the basement, take the kettle off the stove, and come join us for an evening of odd looks from everyone else when we keep yelling each other’s screen names! ---

I’ll try to get there! I don’t see why I shouldn’t be able to, either! I have updated the [DFW Adams Family Board](http://www.arborwood.com/awforums/show-toparea-1.php?fid=616&taid=1). Be sure to check out this board for the latest in party news, discussion of local events and hot gossip. (well, I can dream, can’t I?) ---

Yay! And that’s a cool little board you’ve got there, Zyada. Too bad I missed last month, because I live just down the street from Celebration. ---

Hey, Zy, wanna ride over together or are you going from work? I seldom turn down an opportunity to share a few beers with friends. Ok, I _never_ turn down an opportunity. In other words, I’ll try to make it, too. And Minty, I wish you had made it to Celebration. Jim ---

Just a quick ::bump:: for the sake of any other people who think they might enjoy a refreshing beverage and the company of real live DFW Dopers. **ExTank**? **Chef**? **SMUSax**? ---

Glad to see a few more are taking interest in this, finally. Although, I would go regardless. 🆒 I’m on a vacation day today to take care of some of the arrangements for my impending wedding. I won’t be posting too much today, but look forward to everyone showing up. Go minty! ---

There’s no way I could be at the Flying Saucer in Addison by 7:00 PM, but any excuse to go to a Flying Saucer is a good one. Can I come later, like maybe 8:00 PM? Is this an all-night thing, or what? ---

The more people there are, the later we’ll be there. I think 8:00 is a foregone conclusion though, so swing on by! Pete, I think you, Jim, and Zyada already know each other, but I haven’t met any of you folks yet. Just so you recognize me, I’ve got blonde hair and glasses and am wearing a bright, salmon-colored shirt. See y’all there! ---

I have bunko tonight, but I can try to make it. We usually eat at 6:30 and start playing at 7:30. If I skip the meal, I could show up at the Flying Saucer and have a drink before I leave for bunko. Or, I could come after if y’all are still there around 9:30 p.m. ---

I think that I can probably make it to the bar tonight 😉 What’s the dress code for that place? I’m currently wearing boardshorts and flipflops… I know it’s 60 degrees-ish, but it’s spring break dammit!! How is the heck and I going to pick y’all out of the crowd? Is someone going to wear a red rose? –==the sax man==– ---

Well, the thought of Mike in boardshorts has inspired me to go inhale the polyeurethene and kerosene fumes in the art building while I finish projects for my independent study professor. Besides, I have to work tomorrow and that means I need to be hangover free. ---

Look for the bright salmon shirt, SMUsax. But don’t stare at it or you’ll go blind. 😉 And the Saucer is pretty laid back, so boardshorts and flipflops won’t be too out of place. Bet you’ll want to crank up the heater on the way home, though! ---

OK, now if I can just find the place we’ll be in business. MapQuest, Here I come! Palmyra: It’s nice of you to pop up and be a bitch, but don’t trouble yourself next time. see y’all later! –==Mike==– ---

_speaking as SDMB staff_ Palmyra, SMUsax - please do not continue to bicker in this forum. Any other posts on the subject should go in The BBQ Pit. This should take effect immediately. SMUsax - Your wording “It’s nice of you to pop up and be a bitch” is **definitely** out of line in MPSIMS. Do not post a similar sentiment in this forum again. _end of SDMB staff speech_ [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dfw-dopers-come-hang-out-friday-night/98337.md?page=2)
