MADs: Memorial Day Weekend Picnic, Sun 5/25

It’s a geocities thing. Darned if I know why. I have a teemingmillions page, so maybe I’ll put em there.

Ok, try here.

They’re not the best photos. :slight_smile:

Oh, and apologies in advance for spelling his name wrong, if I did!

Thanks to RT for all of his hard work! The park was an excellent place for this kinda shindig, although the weather wasn’t too cooperative.

We’re home, we’re exhausted, and we had a great time. Thanks, all, for coming!

Details and photos tomorrow. :slight_smile:

Thanks again, RT. It was nice to see everyone again.

You guys got there?

After we left?

Punks.

… like how to play this game, although I swear Opal kept making up the rules as it went along.

I think the details of the rules are regional. And I never changed the rules while we were playing! From the beginning they were:

Slaps on: adds up to 10 or pairs
Face card rules:
jack - 1 chance
queen - 2 chances
king - 3 chances
ace - 4 chances

simple, really. Not to mention painful!

Here is another set of rules that contains the adds-up-to-10 thing but also includes the sandwiching rule which I’ve never played before.

Every game should be so violent. Kapow! Smack! SLAP! Yeehaw!

Yeah well I woud have won more if it hadn’t been for that skank-ass cheating whore.

(the insult slinging is one of the best parts of the game in my opinion)

Definitely. A game that combines trash talking and violence. I love America!

Thanks to everyone for a fantastic time! I was really happy to finally meet some of the people I’ve been reading about for so long - y’all rock.

Oh and Ginger, I’m still really sorry about the Cauliflower Episode.

Now I just have to (rat) screw up my courage to go to MountainDope.

AL

Invite Lou.

You’ll look normal by comparison.

We were very disappointed that you had left before we got there, JC. HOWEVER, I did partake of Old Dominion, and I send you many kisses for said deliciousness.

I’ll claim those next month, cutie.

Hey, was it just me or is this batch (brewed in March) have a lot more kick? My mouth was tinglin’ there!

That’s just because you were thinking of me.

Here’s my pix. Enjoy!

The text file tells you who’s in what pictures, but those of us in The Clique[sup]TM[/sup] already know, of course.

Excellent pics, RT. I mean that. Excellent. Except they’re too true to life, and who the heck invited that scary looking dude with the white t-shirt and the brown jacket?

I don’t know what Opal’s complaining about, she won half the games! :stuck_out_tongue:

And I have no idea what I’m looking at in that one pic that’s causing me to make that face. Maybe it was the scary albino cockroach.

The albino cockroach was really really freaky.

I can’t beleive this. I totally missed this thread. Mental note, more vanity searches. . .

I ended up working all weekend anyway. Rassin frissin broken down old piece of crap servers. . .
