**Pers** , I can’t seem to remember the boxers at all. I guess my mind was, um, focussed elsewhere.

I did run 4 miles last night. It helped [sub]a little[/sub].

not to worry **BG** , you were sitting **next** to him at the time. He **did** flash his boxers (the bottom hem :mad: grumble grumble, shoulda gone from the top ya know) but the folks on the opposite side (me and **Perseph** ) had the best, um… angle on it.

[sup]\<studiously ignoring **BunnyBunny** s last post…\>[/sup]  
Yes, I recall flashing the bottom hem of my boxers, my point was that I missed your comment, **Persephone** , or I would, perhaps, have indulged the crowd…'course, I don’t think **Xploder, mrblue, Strainger or UncleBeer** would’ve appreciated that.

Hmmm, perhaps a private viewing would have been in order? Well, maybe next time 😃

[sub]So, **Bunny** , exactly where was your…mind?[/sub]

Juniper, congrats! You’re makng me want to get back on the diet bandwagon. I lost 12 pounds earlier this fall, and it was a wonder what a difference THAT made. I guess they missed me because they all came back, but I’d like to kiss them goodbye a second time.

Not to make others vomit with my syrupyness, but looking back on it I can’t get over what a nice time I had with you all. What a bunch! I love Ann Arbor but it is, alas, a city of attrition–all my best pals have moved on as they graduate, etc. I hadn’t realized how much I missed and craved the company of good folk until I was under that tent on Saturday! Thanks for giving me the nicest, most fun evening I’ve had in a while!

I say that even though I didn’t get to see the crotch shot from Bunnygirl, either. Rats!

Do you really need to ask? ::eyebrows raised, smirky grin on face::

**Cranky** , it was great to meet you. I wish I hadn’t been as _lubricated_ as I was so that I could have gotten to know you a little better.

We’ve got to have another one of these things sooner rather than later!!

:chanting:  
DopeFest! DopeFest!

I can’t take credit for this one. This was **BunnyGirl’s** quote.

Oh, and **BunnyGirl** , you think I was harsh Sunday. Wait until you come visit and I take you up [Siphon Draw to the Flatiron](http://www.dankat.com/swhikes/flatir.htm) (that outcropping in the middle). MWAHAHAHAHA!!

I didn’t realize how badly I had been eaten by mosquitos until yesterday when I was teaching a class. The itching!! Dear God, the _itching_!! MAKE IT STOP!!! Er, ah, pardon me. That seems to be my thing lately: go camping/hiking/to Michigan for the weekend, get eaten by mosquitos, come back and teach a class while furiously scratching my legs. My customers are probably beginning to think I have psoriasis or something.

Aw, shucks, **Persephone** , you embarrass me. Don’t stop. 😉

Sorry you couldn’t make it, **Milo**. I had been looking forward to meeting you.

I had a great time last weekend and forged some new friendships. All in all, a wonderful trip.

See what I mean, folks? He’s just cruel!

You’ll probably make us hike with no water and a 40-lb pack too, right?

Really glad you were able to come up - that was way cool. You know you’ve always got a place to stay.

Hey thinksnow! I can’t just sit here and watch you tarnish my dear friend Bunny’s reputation like this. Not without popcorn, anyway. Hold up a minute while I make some, okay? 😉

“Tarnish?” I would do no such thing! Vigorous polishing keeps even the hint of blemish away. 😛

Say, **Persephone** , if you’ve made popcorn, you’re going to need some seasoning for it…why don’t you follow me down here to the basement, I think I know just what you need.

I’d say all of you need to be hosed down if I didn’t think you’d enjoy it too much… or that you’d make some reference to hoses…

Xploder, could you please post the George recipe? My friend Sarah is having a party this weekend and we’d like to whip some up.

Damn. I said “whip.” Now thinksnow and BunnyGirl are gonna get the thread all sticky or something.

Upon reviewing my last post, it should be on top of **Juniper** ’s and under **Bunny** …

Er…

I mean between **Bunny** and **Juniper** …

Um…

Well, let’s just say it’s took a long time for the post to go through.

Wait… that’s not good either…

I give up.

I know I took some pictures with my camera (which I’m gonna try to burn up the unused film soon so I can get them developed), but didn’t someone else bring a camera?

I want pictures, doggone it!
