well, if you’d like to come, that is. Also, this is an invite to all those who have yet to attend a DFW gathering. * * * This is the official DFW Festivus Thread. This year, we are having the party in Fort Worth, at chez Baboon. It will be held on December 14. Around 6ish. Families are welcome (bring videos or DVDs if you’d like. we do have a playstation2) So, please sign in and sign up. We will be having a White Elephant Exchange. (no X-rated gifts to shock the kiddies, ok?) There will also be door prizes (best grinch, most festive outfit, etc) Please drop me a line, if you haven’t already, so I can send invites and driving directions this weekend. Also, I need to know how many kid-os are coming and ages, please. This way I can pass the info to Santa for their fun lil’ stockings. Woo Hoo, I love Christmas! will Zyada be belly dancing for us? * * * Good News and I will be providing: Roast Rosemary Turkey Roast Beef Roasted Vegetables assorted munchies we will also have assorted drinks. Please BYOB if you want to have a jolly time. But don’t drink and drive, bub, cause I’ll have Troy knock you out before you grab the keys, ok? 🙂 here’s the sign up list: salads munchies drinkies ---

I’m not going to be there (more’s the pity), but I just wanted to say: Long time no see, **Bad News Baboon**. Don’t be a stranger. You’re a Dave-Guy Fave[sup]TM[/sup]. ---

I’m keeping it in mind, but can’t commit yet (which the DFW dopers by now know means they may not hear another peep out of me until I show up at the door). ---

I’m in, and Bob will be here too! I can bring mini-quiches, brie en croute, and champagne. I even have cheap plastic champagne flutes. ---

And no, I won’t be belly dancing. 🙂 I’ll save that for very special occasions. Like all the men begging. 😛 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Zyada \* > **…mini-quiches, brie en croute…** My sissy-sense is tingling. I’ll supply beer and pork rinds to bring the force into balance. Speaking of which. I forgot what kind of beer you drink, LordJim. Let me know and I’ll pick some up on the way. I may bring more, depending on who’s driving. ---

**Ag** , MGD or Michelob. I’ll bring a cooler and ice and some Smirnoff Ice[sup] **TM** [/sup] for the ladies (plus some beef jerky to keep the force in balance). Maybe with a couple of them and we can get a belly dance without begging. Actually, **Zyada** is just playing around, she loves to entertain me. [sub]Oh, wait. Bob’s going to be there. … I get it now. … Nevermind.[/sub] Jim ---
