> [@Shayna](#): > > See? I’m doing it in _your_ honor. You should be grateful, not horrified. 😃 Quite the opposite. The point is that _I_ should be all the “crispy” you ever need! All you did was demonstrate that I wasn’t good enough for you. > [@](#): > > Besides, when scary guy’s\* girlfriend supports crispy waffles, one must do what one must in order to save one’s life! > > \*Who was not actually scary at all, even though you thought I took my life into my hands when I started fiddling with his leg. 😉 No, I thought you took _my_ life into your hands. After all, having assembled this rag-tag crew, I felt somewhat responsible for your actions. Including prodding random men’s pant legs underneath their table. And not even mine! _sniff_ ---

The point is that _I_ should be all the “crispy” you ever need! All you did was demonstrate that I wasn’t good enough for you. But **Jake** would not be happy if I cut you up with a knife and fork and ate _you_, so this was the next best thing to show you my reverence and not piss off your wife! > [@Asimovian](#): > > No, I thought you took _my_ life into your hands.

Oh please, **Shayna**. I’d never fight Spiny Norman. I was just hoping you’d share him. 😉 ---

> [@Antinor01](#): > > I tried to warn you. It’s true, you did, but I’ve never seen anyone pour drinks quite like that. I think I could have gotten the same amount of Bombay Sapphire at the grocery store for my $15 (or whatever it was). That’s pretty incredible! > [@Asimovian](#): > > No, I thought you took _my_ life into your hands. After all, having assembled this rag-tag crew, I felt somewhat responsible for your actions. Including prodding random men’s pant legs underneath their table. And not even mine! _sniff_ **Shayna** was playing footsie? And not with me? ☹ By the way, I wanted to add that it was a great pleasure meeting all of you and that I’d be more than happy to see you all again sooner rather than later. Hopefully somewhere like San Clemente or Laguna Beach–can’t a guy catch a break here?–but I do love L.A. and I wouldn’t mind driving back up. ---

It’s code. It means that **Asimovian** wants to make gay porn with you, which a certain friend of ours will, of course, keep for her collection. ---

> [@scout1222](#): > > Damn - I missed an opportunity to hang out with mostly a bunch of dudes. > > **Yeticus Rex** - you look slimmer than I recall. Have you lost some weight or is my memory crap? You have excellent memory, **Scout**. I went from 310 lbs. down to 240 lbs. Unfortunately, I’m at 250 this week, so I should have skipped the waffle and beer and stuck to the chicken salad. The weight loss was accomplished over a 9 month period back in 2006/7. Diet and exercise, diet and exercise, diet and excercise. > [@ctywkr](#): > > First, let me apologize to everybody for not showing up and not saying anything. > > Second, Yeticus Rex, I apologize for not calling. **ctywkr** , no problem…hope you doing better. > [@Flightlessbird](#): > > No! I was enjoying the conversation…really! _sigh_ As I recall, he was looking up football scores for **Highwayman**. **Flightless Bird** and I were talking mostly hockey, which I discovered his late arrival was due to his hockey game (I mean, c’mon…the shaved head and a copper beard is a dead giveaway for a hockey player!), which spurred more conversation about hockey in general and sharing stories about youth hockey (my son used to play), rinks and the Kings. Maybe a little WoW, too. Sorry for the goofy pics, everyone…that’s me being me. ---

> [@Yeticus Rex](#): > > You have excellent memory, Scout. I went from 310 lbs. down to 240 lbs. Unfortunately, I’m at 250 this week, so I should have skipped the waffle and beer and stuck to the chicken salad. Wow! That’s a pretty sizeable loss. I would’ve pegged you for less than that, actually. You must be taller than me. (Hard to tell when everyone’s sitting down.) For the record, **Yeticus Rex** and **FlightlessBird** , I’m pretty sure I’m the _only_ Kings fan in San Diego. They’ve been a little painful to watch the last few years, though, and I must admit I haven’t seen 'em this year. (To be fair, I haven’t seen any other hockey games this year either.)
