purplebear threatens violence to her husband if he doesn’t make it home for their anniversary. (Are you reading this, man? I’d make it home if I were you!) Chef Troy offers to write a mash note to purplebear on Mr. Bear’s behalf.

Interlude for Aggie jokes. purplebear and maidenunicorn show off pics–purplebear’s daughter is cute; the makeup job makes it hard to believe she’s only 15. purplebear should probably invest in a baseball bat. Well, at least the kid gets it honestly

purplebear admits to (well, actually “brags of”) writing anonymous notes to guys in one of the bars/restaurants they visited. At least one of the notes containing favorable comments on the guy’s tush. His response to the waitress who delivered it was apparently along the lines of “Please…just tell me it wasn’t a guy.”

Mr. Bear sits alone in a little appartment on the far side, wondering why he had to read about the gathering along with the TM, instead of getting first hand (albeit onesided) accounts of it from PB???

as to the first part be it know that PB will have better things to do than post here on or about the 15 of Jan (note that is more than a month before our 22 wedding anniversary) for a few days or maybe longer!!! Yes I have run into some contract problems here ( I want more money than the company is willing to pay) so I will be returning home at the end of my current contract.

as to the second part, baseball bats require to much engery, I have other weapons that are easier to use and clean. Also another reason for my return.

as to the third part, I will be taking that up with PB very, very soon. I’m glade that she and maidenunicorn had such intresting company for breakfast.

It was truly a pleasure to meet PurpleBear & MaidenUnicorn. I love being around people that are having fun (one of the reasons I like this DFW Addams family). I hope they, along with Mr. Bear, can make it back our way often. As always, I enjoy getting a chance to be around Zyada, Balance, Chef, Pete and the others that unfortunately didn’t make it this time (y’all were missed, hope you make the next one.)

True to form, we took over the entire dining area, but with the age of the competition, this was hardly a struggle. I’m sure several of the other diners got tired just watching Chef Jr’s boundless energy, due probably to his boundless boredom. I don’t think we are all that interesting to him since Balance brought no magic fire tricks and there weren’t any raccoons around.

As usual, the jokes, quips, and comments come at a quick pace. I always come away from these gatherings realizing that I missed many of the jokes and conversations. I rely on our terrific court reporter, Balance, to fill in what I missed. But, I always know that I’ve had a great time with a very fun group.

I did tell you, dear. Perhaps you haven’t been taking your Gingko Biloba lately?

True, and I agree with you on that. To a point.

Well, you know where to reach me, dear. And, like I already told you in chat today, I can still look. Just can’t touch.

Grace said: Purplebear, can I make it up to you? I feel really bad.
Grace, don’t worry about it. I understand what happened. Like I told you in chat, it’s ok, and we’ll get together again another time soon. {{{{{{Grace}}}}}}

Balance said: Why is purplebear in town? Somehow I missed the answer even though I was sitting directly across from here (having slyly insinuated myself into a seat at the ladies’ table ).
NP. I was there for a Quixtar Function, December’s happened to be in Arlington this time. If anyone wants to know what that is about, just email me. I’ll be happy to tell you.

Balance said: Well, at least the kid gets it honestly.
BLUSH Thank you. Now what do you want?

in the notes: purplebear threatens violence to her husband if he doesn’t make it home for their anniversary. (Are you reading this, man? I’d make it home if I were you!) Chef Troy offers to write a mash note to purplebear on Mr. Bear’s behalf.
He read it. Thanks! And, Cheffie, I’m still waiting.

Ahem It was an IHOP, thenkyewverymuch. And, what good is a compliment if you keep it to yourself? I notice you didn’t mention the note from maidenunicorn to another guy there.

notes: Nicknames, and the rude games children often play with them, are discussed. Tr…I mean, purplebear threatened unspecified but extreme damage if I revealed hers.
Weren’t you the one who said: ‘Hurt me! Hurt me!’ It doesn’t really matter, if you want to tell it, go ahead.

purplebear is challenging for Grace’s “Most Piercing Laugh” title.
Somehow, I don’t think that’s a good thing. :rolleyes:

purplebear demonstrates a pretty good Marvin the Martian impression, but claims that she’s not in top form.
Thanks. And I wasn’t. At least not my voice.

**psiekier relates “Predator” flashbacks experienced during an Anthro class (the prof was talking about predation). Jim suggests (not for the first time) that psiekier spends too much time watching movies. Zyada saw “Predator 2”, but not the original. I comment, to general agreement, that the best scene in P2 is the trophy room scene (with the Giger Alien head on the wall). psiekier and I briefly discuss the “Aliens vs. Predator” games.

And for those who were wondering…

We had been discussing the advantages of upright bipedalism in archaeology class. Nearest we could figure it, without the need for “hands” with which to grip tools, there’re really no advantages to being able to stand up.

… except for one. If you’ve ever seen prairie dogs pop up out of their burrows and stand on their hind legs while looking around, you might think it would be useful for watching for approaching predators.

I was thinking of such predators when I drew this in that class.
