MADs: Memorial Day Weekend Picnic, Sun 5/25

Horseshoes Shmorshoes. Fuhget that - Who’s up for some
Extreme Croquet ?

Does anyone have what it takes to play against me?
I’m not sure what it takes, probably a lot of beer!

This is the MAD Outdoors Club activity I’ve been waiting for: No sore muscles the next day! No flirting with danger! No Anchovies? You have the wrong man. I spell my name Danger!

Darnit! I was looking forward to meeting more dopers, but cannot do Sundays. I wish you all a happy and safe day!

Why, that’s nothing but a two-bit ring from a crackerback jox!

I knew I forgot something in the OP! Yes, I’ll be bringing along the croquet set, and Anita will set up the Extreme Croquet course. Fear her. :smiley:

dances - sorry you won’t be able to make this one. Put Jonathan Chance’s party on your calendar today, if you haven’t already - it’s on June 28, which is a Saturday. :slight_smile:

If we’re a cult where are the naked acolytes?

You call northern Calvert part of So. MD? Heck, that’s practically civilization from my perspective. I’m in southern St. Mary’s - a long way from everything. :frowning:

Apparently at ChiDope. (Note pic title.)

El Marko - you’re right, southern St. Mary’s is a long way from anything. And northern Calvert is only technically part of southern Maryland. Come if you can, but we’ll all understand if you decide it’s just too far.

Hmmm, I hear there having a 2-for-1 deal on naked accolytes in the city…I’ll see if I can’t russle some up. If they are in short supply would some glassy-eyed handpersons do? See everybody there…oh, and Anita those are bold words…croquet is not a sport to be trifled with. Just so you know, I’ve trained with the grand-dame of all things croquet related (so know how to be trounced with style…) and just hope you know, you better bring it!

Holler if I’ve got you in the wrong category.

You don’t have me under ‘God whom we all worship’.

Get with the program.

So, when are you going to end war, injustice, starvation, disease, etc., etc?

Sheez. It’s hard to find a good Deity these days. :wink:

Antelope Freeway 3/32 of a mile

TYVM for the link! I see that a number of the merry folk I’ve met in the Philly clan are planning to make the trip, and will plan accordingly.

What are you guys doing in my car? :wink:

dwc - happy to help! I’m just sorry that I won’t be there.

“The pyramid - it’s opening!”
“Which one?”
“The one with the ever-widening hole!!”

We’re clearly overdue for a Firesign thread. Maybe I’ll start one later.

RTFirefly, add me to the list. I will be there!

Don’t think I won’t use this to recruit even more hapless victims for Mountain Dope, RT.

Excuse me, but why isn’t everyone saying “Happy Birthday” to me?

Because it’s not your birthday?
Because we didn’t know it was your birthday?

One of the above.

Happy birthday (or a merry un-birthday), Gingy, as appropriate! :smiley:

It is my birthday. I am still asked for ID.

Of course you’re still asked for ID. Current policy is that they card you regardless of age. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t get carded while buying beer.

Be happy you were only asked for ID, not EGO or SUPEREGO.

And what do you think they took? Oil from Canada, gold from Mexico, geese from the neighbors’ back yard boom-boom

A Firesign thread would be wonderful-I’m surprised to be among those who recall such aberrant humorous moments of the early seventies.

The Foxtrot! You can have the next dance by passing the fox.
Squeeze him right there, maybe he’ll pass another one.
