Ha! Gotcha! kisses

Woohoo! Less than two weeks! I’m sooooooo geeked! 
Oh yeah.
Just a reminder to everyone who’ll be attending–have you emailed BunnyGirl with all your info?
Oh, and Geobabe, I think I’ll be taking you up on that ride. Thanks a go-freaking-zillion!
WooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!
I just realized something.
I’m going to be riding in a car with Geobabe and manhattan.
Oh…my…Goddess.
[sub]smart people frighten me so badly…[/sub]
Oh, hush. You’re plenty smart. Besides, by the time we get you, he’ll either be so in love with me he won’t even notice you, or so annoyed he’ll beg you to keep him from garotting me.
I am for sure going. I will be leaving proably late on Friday night if anyone from Chicago wants a lift. (Or anyone along the way needs to be picked up) Just e-mail me and let me know. I need to be back in Chicago by noon on Sunday tho so I’ll be getting an early start out. (I am soooo excited.)
But Geobabe, I want him to like me!
sob
[sub]hey, maybe if I bring along the packet outlining my job’s new defined contribution plan and have him explain it to me, because I really don’t get it…[/sub]
I also just realized something. I have to pay my rent this week, which means that I’m going to be very broke by next weekend. I’m still planning on attending, I just won’t be able to buy or eat anything 
You, you two big strong manly men, you think one of you could take pity on me and shower me with gifts? (batting eyes and moving hips suggestively)
There, there. I’m sure he’ll like you just fine.
Now there’s an idea. We all know how much boys like to show off their knowledge. This is a perfect opportunity! “Oooh, Mr. Man, how did you ever get SO smart?” bat bat Works every time. They’re easy that way.
Well, that’s a good idea, Geo, but the thing is, he really wouldn’t be dealing with someone who’s “just a little unclear on some issues.” When it comes to things like investing, the part of my brain that is supposed to understand is just plain missing.
Then again, if he’s the kind of guy that gets off on making a completely clueless wanker understand a complex issue such as the stock market, maybe bringing along my little packet-thingy isn’t such a bad idea.
Relax, Persephone.
manhattan only bites if you ask him to.
Aw, jeez. Pension plans? Can’t I open a jar or kill a bug or somethin’? I don’t wanna be the smart guy, I wanna be the manly man.
OK, how about this: Persephone can bring along her pension plan thingy and you pretend it’s a bug and stomp on it.
Manny, you can be my manly man. Spiders cause me to run crying and screaming screaming like the girly girl I am.
To me, a “manly man” is one that knows how to use his brain. Trust me–if you can explain this thing to me so that I actually understand it, I will be putty in your paws.
[sub]but if I see a spider, I’ll act scared and let you squoosh it, okay?[/sub]
Wait a sec… isn’t manny a multi-billionaire, investment banker-type?
Here, I’ll let Vinny explain…
[Vinny, Fin-nan-ce-al Planner]
Basically you gives ‘dem yer munny, see? An’ ifs ‘days ain’t crooked, an’ you don’t die, 'den 'days supposed to give it back, like in 30 years or sumpin. Totally [bleep]ed up. On ‘de udda hand, you gives ‘dat same munny to me an’ Guido here… We’re talkin’ EASY street, capice? We’s just headed down to see 'da ponies anyway. Fuggit about it.
I’m no financial wizard, mrblue, but there’s a little voice in the back of my head that’s telling me that the ponies are probably not the best way for me to invest. No offense.
Okay, I hate to take you all away from your fun, but I do have a question? Any idea on where and when we are supposed to meet up? Are we meeting at somebody’s house or at the mall or at Frankenmuth?
IIRC Shadowfox, we were going to meet in Frankenmuth. But please don’t quote me. I’ll get back to you on that. I’m sure BG will be emailing everyone this week too, with all the details.
