Horseflesh is coming to my house this weekend to work on my dishwasher and we’ve decided to play bingo then hit the gay bar Friday night (June 25th). Who wants to join us?
I have plenty of room for you to pass out here after the bar so you don’t have to drive intoxicated, and on Saturday, we can throw some steaks on the grill and feast until we pop. I have steaks, burgers, dogs, soda pop, chips and lots of other goodies.
Come for the bingo and/or the bar Friday night, come to the cookout Saturday, or come for both! Just let me know if you’ll be there on Saturday so I know how much meat to marinade.
I would specifically like to invite those dopers I know are somewhat close. Hopefully some of them will do a vanity search tomorrow and see this):

To use SkipMagic’s cop out - if I didn’t mention you, its not because I don’t secretly love you. I can’t remember why it is, though.
Even though Horseflesh is co-hosting this shebang, he’s pouting because he’s not on the list. So here’s the new list.

He also wants to know if anyone knows anything about dishwashers. But I don’t want you guys to think I’m trying to trick ya into coming and then put you to work, so forget I mentioned that.
If I don’t hit submit, he’ll soon be making me invite Cecil Adams and Ed Zotti, so here goes!
Apparently Horseflesh, who likes to critique my posts after I hit submit, thinks I wasn’t very clear about who was invited.
Everyone is invited. I just mentioned specific people who I knew were close, hoping the found their name thru a vanity search, in case I can’t reach them by email.
Think I should run this by him before I hit submit?
Does anyone have one of those dishwasher tool thingies to hook the hose thingy up to the gizmo? I hate to get so technical but I don’t know the layman’s terminology here.
I got dibs on sleeping in the bathtub ('cause everybody knows that bathtubs are where the action is. If yer gonna take a shower, yer gonna have company…)
I noticed how you separated auntie em and myself by a few million Doper names. It’s like you’re trying to drive a wedge between us…
Actually, we’d love to come, but this weekend will be devoted entirely to fixing up our house in Topeka so that we can (finally!) get the damned thing on the market and sell it. We don’t need this real-estate monkey on our backs.
We gotta put up a fence, plant some fescue, replace the screen door, replace the bathroom sink and clear away the numerous branches we cut down off the neighbor’s tree. Hopefully we can do this before either the rains (who don’t want to go away and come back another day) strike again, or the temperature spikes up a dozen degrees.
This is Pride weekend in Saint Louis and I’ve volunteered to do voter registration and canvassing for the Constitutional Defense League Saturday. I wish I could make it, though.
Oh, and sorry about not responding to your IMs. I forgot to disconnect when I went to bed. I just found them this morning.
Darn! I didn’t know it was Pride weekend. It sounds like you’re going to have more fun this weekend than we are.
No biggie on the IM thing. I figured you were away from the computer and would see them when you returned.
I leave my YIM on all the time, on the off chance that withaK gets access to the computer with YIM on it and buzzes me. I sleep downstairs on the couch, too, so I can hear it buzz.
marlitharn, send me a picture and I’ll make sure it has a good time. You have to work during the day Saturday? Bummer - you’ll miss the cookout, too. They work you dispatchers to death, don’t they?
I would love to come but right now I’m so broke I can’t even remember what cash looks like! My sister is coming for a visit next week and I had to buy gifts for my niece and nephews. Next time try to plan one of these last minute gatherings closer to a payday
Ok, so if I speed, I could make it there in 5 1/2 hours, probably, and I get off of work tomorrow at 10 PM, hmm… and have to be to work Saturday at 7 AM… so if I leave to come to the bar, I could make it about 4 hours travel, and then have to come back, not even having made it there… lol. You guys need to plan this stuff in southern MO, and at a house, not a bar, because I’m 17.
Shaving cream, packing peanuts, squirrels, acorns and a comfy chair, all stuffed into a car.
Live “Ask the Gay Guy” Q&A Friday night at the bar.
Feline treadmill races.
Old people who smoke like fishes.
Redneck-tipping on the next block down.
Competitive dishwasher installation.
Find-the-floor-mats scavenger hunt.
“Guess which flavor body lotion this is” double-elimination competition.
Crank calling the Doper no-shows at 3am.
Of course, we’ll also have the old standby activities such as cat dancing, Strip Trivial Pursuit, bathtub racing and the pudding wrassling championship. I will also provide you with a cat to watch you pee.
Am I dreaming, or was there another thread about this? I’m sure I answered in that one!
**Sniff!**I can’t come, already had things I have to do. But as I said in the other thread, if Horseflesh can come by the cafe on Friday, before setting off for Missouri, I’ll send along some cookies.
I’d ask the Dragons to pick you up, chaoticdonkey, but I don’t think the three of you would fit on that Harley (and they’re not coming, anyway).
When I sit here and think about how I’m going to fill the next 342 days, I get all bummed out. Then activities fall into my lap from the sky.
I might, just might, have a line on two tickets to see the Royals play the Cardinals in Kansas City on Sunday afternoon. Does anyone want to go with me? I don’t know what time, how much the tickets are or even if they’re still available, but I’ll check further into it if anyone shows interest.
Well, 6 hours is a little out of my way anyway :p… I say that we do something around November 19th or something to celebrate my 18th birthday! Then, since it’s so far in the future, I can request off of work, etc. And we could have it in Arkadelphia, and all crash… in my dorm room? I’m sure my roommate wouldn’t mind. (Actually, I’m kidding. He would.)
I’d actually be readily willing to drive three hours or so, though. Do we have any northern LA or eastern TX or SE OK Dopers who’d be willing to have us over some time in November?
I’m sorry to rain on you guys’ parade by not being able to come. I’m sure you’ll have a fabulous time without me
Oh, and I feel stupid, but what happens in 342 days? Whatever it is, it’d better not interfere with my Rome trip! (although I think that’ll be closer to 375 or so days…)
Oh, and I’d also like to try moving out before I start going to these meetings (2 months… I can’t wait, sort of.)
Mom: “Where’re ya headed off ta?”
Me: “Oh, just a meeting… with some friends… sort of…”
Mom: “Oh, when are you meeting”
Me: “In about 6 hours.”
Mom: “Really? Where?”
Me: “oh… in a gay bar in Columbus, Missouri.”
Mom: “Oh, have fun. See you in a couple days.”
