Anyone coming as a badger will be poked with a spoon! Now THAT’s an original sin. ---

All right, all right, I’m coming (take that how you will). I’ll need directions, or at least a specific address. CJ ---

I, too, will need directions or specific address. **Jonathan** , as you may or may not have figured out from other threads floating around, I am on a carb-restricted diet. I can eat all the fruits, veggies, whole grains, meats and cheeses I want. Do you think your menu, as it were, will be okay, or should I bring something? Even if your menu is okay for my diet, should I bring something anyway? Is there anything you need? (You can have our 16-year-old, she’s a pain in the ass:D ) ---

Feel free to bring something. But we generally have a lot of fruits and veggies. Would cooked meat without bread do you? ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Jonathan Chance_ > Would cooked meat without bread do you? Sure. What are you talking, like, hamburgers and hot dogs and stuff? We certainly can eat them without the bread, but usually when we know this is the kind of food there is, we just bring along some whole wheat bread. ---

Your call. We’ll be grilling this year. Though we could always ask Robin and Airman Doors to do the cheesesteak challenge again. ---

And, umm, what’s the “cheesesteak challenge”? ---

Weirddave and Airman Doors got into a hissy fit about who made the best cheesesteaks. And they duked it out at my place a few parties ago. That was a good day. ---

The best part was eating cheesesteaks! Update: I might not be able to make it…budget contraints and all. I’m a poor college student, and I have to figure out how much this will cost me…I’ll get back to you on it, **JC**. ---

That was a cheap shot, Nate. 🙂 Uncle Sugar gives me exactly what He says I am entitled to. When you’re only an E-4, your wife is in school full-time (i.e. unemployed), you’re being demobilized, AND you’re looking for a job that pays more than $6.00/hr until He calls and takes you away from the hell that your life has very suddenly become, that entitlement isn’t worth as much as it used to be. What? Me, worried? Nah. :dubious: ---

I’m sorry, Geno’s in Philly makes the best cheesesteaks and no mere mortal’s cheesesteaks can come close… You can put me down as a definite maybe… 🙂 ---
