Ino, Silver Fire, MsRobyn and Chique (help)

[rubes]

This should probably be buried in the Chicago-fest thread, but I didn’t think you’d see it, and the Members link says that the admin has disabled it.

Can you let me know if there is room for me for the trip to chicago. I can pay for fuel, and promise not to sing.

I haven’t seen another doper since Satan came to visit Minneapolis and we had the honorary Silver Fire (imposter from Joe’s Garage).

thanks,
rubes (who is currently working on his hitchhiking technique)

I’ll send you an email on this.

(And it’s lno, not Ino! Just for that, you get the trunk.)

[rubes]

you know I had to read your post a few times. I didn’t understand what you wrote, and though you were complaining about the exclamation point, but I didn’t include one in my post, then I realized that instead of an I, it was supposed to be a 1. Sorry 1no, or is it lno? My first typewriter, the lowercase l did double duty as a 1 and an l.

[lno]

Ok, now you’re ducttaped and tossed in the trunk.

(lower-case L, not the number 1.)

I knew when I saw the title you’d say something like this… Whiner!

Y’know, it wouldn’t be that hard to change your name to all caps.

I just got the email and, like I told lno in the reply, “groovy”. Five people and the personal belongings of all those people. I guess we’ll be a lot closer to each other after that weekend. I wish I could afford to fix my brakes so we could take two cars…

CONVOY!!!

“Rubber Ducky, Rubber Ducky, what’s your handle, over?”

thanks silver fire, you rock!

[chique]

You’re in, rubes

And lno? NO MORE!! Your car’s only so big, ya know. The rest of the MN contingent is going to have to find their own way to Chicago.

[MsRobyn]

I have no issues with rubes coming along, especially if he promises not to sing.

I call shotgun, however. Baby Doors makes life in the backseat rather difficult.

:sigh:

I know…

www.shotgunrules.com

lno threw that link at me when I called shotgun shortly before the last ChiDope I went to, concentrating especially on this bit:

There is no crime greater than calling Shotgun on Monday in reference to the ride to the concert on Friday. Some people choose to play this way, and they are fools.

BTW lno… What about that little “favor” we discussed? <ahem> See you chat, pal.

[lno]

Ah, true, but we also must direct our attention to another section of the Shotgun Rules:

Because Shotgun is a living entity and constantly changing, new rules always need to be created. Any group of people is welcome to implement their own rule if the situation arises. A new rule will often be created following a major discrepancy. The important rule regarding this however, is that the new rule does not take effect until the next car ride.

New rule: pregnant women by default gain shotgun privileges.

Possible amendments for further discussion: is the stage of the pregnancy important?

Taking effect: next car ride. Say, the trip to Chicago.

And though rubes has promised not to sing, I want to warn my passengers that we WILL partake in a rousing chorus of ‘Convoy’. It’s part of the Chicago roadtrip experience, much like wearing a santa hat, or stopping at Popeye’s chicken on the way back.

Hey, Silvy, tell you what…

I’m only going to Chicago with y’all. I’m not riding back, since I’m leaving from Chicago to go home. You can have shotgun on the way back, OK?

Besides, I’ll be five-and-a-half months pregnant, and I’m already rather large.
