MADs: Memorial Day Weekend Picnic, Sun 5/25

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
101

No cameras for me, thanks. I’m in between MUCH needed haircuts, and consequently am sporting that “slept-in” look.

Upon preview, that sounds kinda dirty. Ehhh.

Incidentally I work with a guy named Bob White. He’s a very small guy who has the loudest, meanest voice and attitude I’ve ever encountered. He will not be invited…but I hope the pavilion is nicer than he is.

DTM - Does the One Clueless Guy need a sidekick? 'Cause I haven’t renewed my clue subscription - I’m still in the library with Colonel Mustard.

AL

102

That lucky Colonel!

Me, I’m going for the “slept-with” look. Awwwwww yeah.

Ow, ow, I’m just kidding!

103

See, I could probably claim that one too, Dan, but I won’t because then I’d have to show the bruises to prove it.

5-year-old boys kick in their sleep <grrrrr>

What? That’s not what you meant??

104

So do 5-year-old dogs… :stuck_out_tongue:

105

Flirting in a DopeFest thread…who’da thunk it?

So, Dantheman, how YOU doin’??

(oh God, I am gonna meet these people, gotta behave…)

106

All right, you two, get a room, fercryinoutloud!! We’re talking picnic here. Curb yer lust. :eek:

:smiley:

107

Yes ma’am. Sorry ma’am. It won’t happen again, ma’am.

(psssst…Dan…I got rid of the Colonel, so the library is all ours…)

108

Whoops! I forgot about the memo about flirting on the message board. Bad stuff. Very corrupting.

109

Durn, I log off for two hours, and all of a sudden we’re on page 3!

Welcome, AnnaLucretia! I know I’ve said hi to you on some other thread. I’m going to bring my digital camera, but I’ll be gentle. :smiley:

I think this is a good excuse to bring all the vital info forward.

****Where:**Bobwhite Shelter, Seneca Creek State Park in Montgomery County, MD.

When: Sunday, May 25, 11am - dusk.

What: A picnic pavilion, food, a lake, a playground for the kids, woods, hiking trails, Extreme Croquet, and (of course!) Dopers.

Why: because it’ll be fun.

Directions: From Washington, D.C, Virginia and points south: take I-270 north toward Frederick, Maryland. Take exit 10, Clopper Road, and continue through six traffic lights. The park’s entrance is marked and will be on the left.

From Frederick, Pennsylvania And Points North: take I-270 south towards D.C. Take exit 11, Quince Orchard Rd., west. Bear right at the light, go two more lights, then turn right onto Clopper Road. The park is ~1.5 Miles on the left.

My plan is to get there about 11am, start setting up, and get the charcoal started. It’ll probably take the charcoal until noon to be ready to grill over. Once the coals are ready, I’ll start cooking burgers as soon as we seem to have a critical mass of Dopers.

110

Any hot dogs?

111

RTFirefly - please check your email - and thanks for the welcome! I’ve been lurking a looooong time…

See everyone Sunday!

Anna

112

Uh oh, she’s now up to flirting with RT in email. Hope she knows he’s married!

BTW, if this is in Bobwhite Shelter, there darn well better be some bobwhites. Perhaps I will do my bobwhite call. TootWHEET! TootWHEET! Or is that a towhee? Hm. Ah well, whoever answers.

114

Og says s’mores, but Og won’t be attending, so I’ll jump on the “Substantive Side Dish” option, and hope I won’t be Smashed.

Dantheman, you’re just jealous! Besides, I was just emailing a totally germaine question that was not Board-appropriate, but decidedly not flirtatious. So there.

Anna

115

JC - sure, I’ll dig a pack of hot dogs out of the freezer, and bring them. Can you bring hot dog buns?

AnnaLucretia - did you really wake up this morning muttering “Og SMASH”?

By gosh, you’re one of us!

dantheman and AnnaLucretia - flirt all ya wanna. FCM will be less grumpy once she’s allowed her monthly conjugal visit. :smiley:

116

RTFirefly -

Sadly, yes I did. Not only was I muttering it, but I was royally pissed about something I can’t even remember. Most puzzling. I figure the only way I can get you guys out of my SUBconcious is to actually meet some of you and get it all out in the open.

More publically disturbing than that was the day I called a VP an “asshat” in a meeting…only to realize that he really wouldn’t understand the depth of disdain I was expressing, and that therefore I was wasting a perfectly good insult on a moron.

Yep, I’m a Doper, no question.

Anna

117

Kind of a personal question, there, isn’t it?

118

I’m hoping to be there. I found out that the dig is not very far away so I might cut out early. Hope you don’t mind a dirty maybe somewhat smelly Eddie.

119

Smellier than usual? I don’t know now.

Wait…who am I to talk? Sure, bring on the stink! Maybe folks won’t notice my aroma so much.

Oh, and be sure to bring us some artifacts.

120

Anita, don’t we already qualify? :wink:
