DFW Dopers go to the fair and Palmyra has a birthday.

Jim…I do not love you…

And it was I that seduced Grace…

I’m leaving her for Zyada…

but I did not kill balance…

Jim…I left you some Miller Genuine Draft…

I may be cold…

But I am not as cold as that MGD!

bows

Thank you, thank you very much!

-SS :smiley:

I wasn’t talking about Esprix, SS.

j/k

:eek: :eek: :eek:

JimB…is there something you didn’t tell us?

No no…wait…it was ag…I knew he scored that chair next to me for a reason…

What a weasel, he even got my biz card!

LOL :wink:

-SS

No, Sky, no deep dark secret here. If you noticed there were four ladies at the table and I right in there with them. Right where I like to be.

Jim

But I did notice you hogging all the ladies :frowning:

I’m off to bed…gotta get some sleep for the work morning.

I sooooooooo hate Mondays!

g’night

-SS

I know Sky, and I try to do that all the time too.

I’m going to bed too. I tried looking for the post on how Aglarond broke his nose, but couldn’t find it. Keep the chocolate (for now) JimB. I’m sure after Halloween I’ll have a bunch left over.

And Palmyra, I think, has gone off to bed . . . else her AIM shut off for some other reason.

Hmph…as if a spindly little runt like you could anyway…you’re even afraid of me snapping my fingers at you!

Glandular bias prevents me from determining whether or not you’re cute. I don’t even remember what you look like (our waitress, on the other hand…) At least the raccoon didn’t retch and flee into the teeth of the storm when it saw you. Of course, it didn’t respond to JimB or me that way either–so much for the validity of that experiment.

Anytime baby :slight_smile: I’ll admit it, i was the gunman on the grassy knol-- er… the female doper at the dope fest who said you were cute. I told iampunha later that night. :slight_smile: [you don’t have to be good if you don’t want too… remember, i got one of your business cards too… :wink:

Of course, i leave and the really psychotic posting begins… did you all notice that FOUR people posted at 11:07 pm??? jesus f***ing christ!! that HAS to be a record.

and yes, i enjoyed my movie immensly, especially the post-date part :wink: don’t get any ideas, i’m a “good” girl, but i’m lots of fun.

must sleep now… almost resisted the urge to look at the thread… failed… addicted… withdrawal bad… posting good… must sleep…

Hey now Mistah…I am a card carrying concealed weapons guy, and yup…I had mah piece on me Saturday :wink:

Guess I was a bit sharper than intended on the snapped fingers bit…my bad…I just have extremely sensitive hearing and that one got me right in the ear. Great trick though…I’m following that link so I can get ya back next time! :slight_smile:

I think you had that waitress in the palm of your hand balance! She was really into your tricks…then she had to go and mention the B word…threesome maybe? :wink:

If you thought I was cute balance…hmmm…I’d be concerned!

Just out of curiosity though…I think I may have seen your picture at a friends house…you don’t just so happen to be in any Scarborough Fair type club or organization do you? The name fails me, but I’m thinking SCA…

-SS

Jeez.

I saw this thread yesterday morning, with maybe one or two replies, and figured, “There’s no rush… it’s not like there are going to be hundreds of posts to plow through if I wait till later to read it.”

Then this morning I look and discover that it’s gone into the triple digits. Upon plowing through them with a resigned sigh, I discovered that most of them were apparently posted by people suffering from a severe sleep deficit.

Come ON, people…I have a wife and son, I’m SUPPOSED to have no life. This is just pathetic.

grin

So anyways, the fair and dinner have been recapped pretty well, except for the time that Mrs. Chef, Chef Jr., and I spent at the kiddie rides. I left wife and son deciding which ride he should go on first and went to buy more coupons. As soon as I was alone and defenseless, a group of four desperate thugs waylaid me, demanding that I give them one of my most prized possessions.

Okay, it was Aglarond, ExTank, Grace, and Zyada, and they just wanted my map of the fairgrounds, but it still goes to show you that the danger of getting mugged at the fair is significantly higher if you bring your own muggers with you.

Bereft and mapless, I bought my coupons and then went to the nearest exit to get a new map, then hurried back to the kiddie rides. I walked up to Mrs. Chef and handed her an ear of roasted corn (her favorite fair-food). She indicated Chef Jr. on the kiddie rollercoaster and remarked thoughtfully, “You know, I can’t quite tell if he’s lovin’ it or if he’s terrified.” It turned out to be the latter…I don’t think Cam will be riding the Dragon next year (unless, of course, you take “riding the Dragon” to mean “getting stoned on opium,” in which case I KNOW he won’t be doing it…only Plano ISD high-schoolers have access to that kind of stuff).

We rode rides until the coupons were gone, getting thoroughly soaked in the process. Chef Jr. in particular looked like he’d gone swimming in his clothes - luckily, I had done the superdad thing before we left and packed a dry change of clothes for him. I, clearly, rock.

All in all, we had a fantastic time at the fair, and an even better time at El Arroyo. Thanks are in order for Grace, whose willingness to help us impersonate Plano ISD teachers saved the group some money at the fair, and ExTank, whose astounding generosity in picking up the tab at dinner will never be forgotten unless he stops doing it. :wink: You guys rock just as hard as I do.

Mrs. Chef said she had a great time and even went so far as to say, "We should have everyone over to the house sometime." Just think, DFW Dopers…soon you will be able to judge my cooking skills for yourself! Maybe we’ll have a Mardi Gras party…that’ll give me enough time to take the Halloween decorations down.

In the meantime, I see that I’m supposed to post the sordid tale of Moby the great white Thunderbird, so I’ll go get cracking on that.

I’d love to sample the cooking sometime!

By the way…we discussed IronChef…what channel is that usually on, and what timeframe does it occupy?

-SS

Good morning! I’m sleepy and don’t want to be at work. I was so wired after I got off the computer, I heard the clock chime at midnight and then again at one. :frowning:

Any ideas on an illness I can suddenly come up so I can go back home?

Oh yes, I will be dropping the pix off to be developed today, and I hope to have them scanned in and online by the weekend.

What’s a good free site to host the pictures?

It’s on the TV Food Network (channel 36B on the Dallas cable system), and it airs Friday nights at 11 p.m. and again Saturday nights at midnight.

Grace, you can go for the ‘ichy butt syndrone’, but I don’t know if they let you off work for that.

Chef, Zy had a site for posting pictures, I don’t remember the name. I’ll find try to find if she doesn’t show up here soon.

Jim

I’ve got satellite but I get the food network so I should be able to find it on there.

psychic mode begin
Grace…is that a stomach flu you’ve got? My god your face is just so flush right now, oh dear…and you have a fever…hon you really need to get home and get some rest, you just cant work like that!
psychic mode end

-SS :smiley:

Grace, I highly recommend food poisoning. It comes on fast, doesn’t last long, is over the next day… and NOBODY wants to know the details.

The way you fake it is you take a little water on your hand and flick it all over your face to make it look like you’re sweating profusely, groan and run to the bathroom, drag back with your mouth hanging open a bit and your eyes half closed, and then run out again a few minutes later. After a couple of reps of this, tell your boss that that half-price shellfish might not have been such a good idea and could you go home, please?
