Back to the hijack - I emailed **thinksnow** - I’ve got plans tonight, was wondering if anyone wanted to grab cheap eats and beers tomorrow night (ie, Friday). magdalene ---

Hey, if you want to make a dry…or not so much so…run with all that “NUDITY, BEER, POOL, DARTS and HOT HOT GIRL ON GIRL ACTION” I’d be happy to be your test subject 😛 I’ll be in town tonight through Saturday, but then I’m shooting over to my sisters to see my new nephew, so it’s basically tonight and tomorrow night. I’m on the company dime so it matters not a bit where we go, as long as the receipts have non-descript names! ---

I’m up for getting together tomorrow nite. As for the 16th, that looks open right now, too, but if work is insane that week I may have to bow out at the last minute. **thinksnow** , you seem happier to be hanging out with **MikeG** and **VileOrb** tonight than with Fabulous DoperBabes like **magdalene** and me tomorrow. WTF? 😉 ---

Did anyone else notice that on April 16 at 7:05 p.m., the Cubs are hosting the Astros? Just a thought. ---

OK, a Cubs game sounds REAL good! I will check on ticket prices, etc. Woo! There are LOTS of great places to go afterwards too and the scenery will be quite nice too 😃 ---

The Plan: Friday night, 8:00 p.m., Leona’s, 1936 W. Augusta Blvd. What would my weekends be without Dopers and an Italian restaurant? I’ll try to be there by 7:30 or so in the bar. I’m going to make a reservation under the name “Cecil” for 8:00 p.m. Email me at [ldyjane128@aol.com](mailto:ldyjane128@aol.com) if you are interested in coming. If you know someone who wants to come who may not see this, please pass it on. Hasta manana. ---

I’d love to come tomorrow, but I already promised someone I’d come to their lame party here in the dorm. I wish I could come… I’d rather hang with Chidopers. ☹ Then again, they ARE used to me not being around on the weekends… ---

Ok, folks. It’s decided. I’m coming. And, in case we didn’t have enough reason to celebrate, it’s my 19th bday on Sunday, so I’m skipping out on the lame party on the grounds that y’all are helping me party 😉 . So, I’ll probably be there 7:30-8ish. 🙂 ---

May 16th, Cubs game sounds FANTASTIC! If we can get a big enough group we could get WELCOME STRAIGHT DOPE on the outfield score board!!! If Kerry Wood pitches that day you could all help me smuggle myself into the clubhouse, no? jarbaby ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by thinksnow \* > > Hey! Keep your sick bedroom fetishes out of this! In the flesh, indeed. What is that, some sort of strange Chicago sexual colloquialism? well CRIPES think…five or six posts ago you were offering to be a part of my sick bedroom fetishes. And now Mr. Jarbaby has retreated to be “on the fence”. He feels that he would be an ‘outsider’ at one of these events. further bulletins as events warrant. Although, golly thinksnow, wouldn’t it be boring to be the only one out with a bunch of girls? :: she said, batting her eyes :: jarbaby ---

I’m about 50/50 right now. Andy had a cough this morning and I want to see how is feeling. I did tell them and they are all excited about the playroom, so they may put the pressure on, cough or no 😉 Other than that, I just don’t know…hey **mag** , did you request the upstairs/mezzanine/I don’t know what it is really called area?It is a little removed from the main DR and closer to the pool tables… ---
