Careful there, boy! Or I’ll give the ladies something to **really** gossip about! ---

Anyway, I’ve never made a cheesesteak, but I’ve definitely eaten my share. ---

Apart from the whole Cheesesteak thing you know what my current biggest headache is? I don’t know most people’s names! I’ve gotten a bunch of RSVPs with no handles. So I get this email from someone named (as an example) Osama bin Laden. He says he’s glad to come and can he bring anything. I tell him we’re glad to have him and bring anything he thinks everyone will enjoy. Lady Chance: “Oh, another RSVP? Who was it?” Me: “I have no idea.” I truly **am** a man of constant sorrow, ain’t I? ---

So, I’m not gonna ask for hotel info, 'cause it’s been posted too many times already, and that would just be rude. However. Is anyone else gonna be staying at the Days Inn or whatever it is that’s about 20 miles away? Might be a fun idea to share a cab, 'cause I get the impression that 20 miles isn’t just around the corner - not to worry, I’ll convert it to kms myself. Anyhoo…I’m going to make reservations now. ---

I still see no challenges to my moon waffle claim. (I’m not suprised, it wasn’t really a boasting claim that would invite challenges. It actually wasn’t so much a claim as it was just a statement about waffles.) You don’t beleive me when I say I’m going to make them, do you? Well I will, so break out the waffle iron, baby! (p.s., I’ve never made them before, but I imagine they must be good.) ---

You’re a dangerous man, Spritle. Still no word on your arrival? And **Aguecheek** , where on God’s green earth are you coming from that you don’t have a grasp on how far 20 miles is? Do you only think in klicks or what? And yes, it’s a hike. If you can, try the B&B. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Jonathan Chance \* > **And Aguecheek, where on God’s green earth are you coming from that you don’t have a grasp on how far 20 miles is? Do you only think in klicks or what?** God’s Green Earth, indeed. I’m Canajun. Married me a ‘Mercan gal and settled down in the Heart of the Great Satan (My student loans are a LOT smaller now, thanks to the exchange rate). I know it’s 1 3/4 miles from my place to the Metro station, below 40[sup]o[/sup] is chilly, above 75[sup]o[/sup] is hot, and that’s about it. Canada, unlike some places I could name, has joined the Community of Nations and gone metric - the only system that makes some kind o’ sense. I’ve always been rather averse to B&B’s 'cause I feel like I’m intruding in someone’s home. Rather silly, I’m sure, but what can you do? **Lady Cheek** has just gone “ooh! A B&B! Why didn’t you tell me?” So, I’ll check that out after all. ---

I can give rides back to hotels for anyone not capable of driving themselves, just so long as you’re not so looped as to be likely to puke in my car. I just bought the damn thing. ---

Seeing as how there will be other options for transportation, I think I will just stick with my first plan, which is not to have anyone that drunk in my car at all. I’d really rather not have puke anywhere on my car, inside or out. But that’s just me. ---

Wow! Another spurt of posts. And the party is only 4 days away! How excited is everyone? **Asylum** , by all means newbies are welcome. Hell, they’re more entertaining than some of the regulars. And I’m not getting into the whole ‘who pukes where issue’. But anyone who pukes on the carpet sleeps there. Is that clear?
