Just realized I should prolly put the names, in case any of y’all do a vanity search: **Rysdad** , **Ethilrist** , **Punkyova** , **Osbie** , **Beadalin** , **NurseCarmen** **MissTake** and **Dangerosa** **rubes** has been on the guest list since 2000… Sadly, he hasn’t made it yet and won’t make it this year, either. Sheesh! 🙂 ---

It’s becoming quite clear. **rubes** is fictional. Or maybe he’s a ghost in the machine. Ya know? Some TRON like entity? ---

Fart! Damn my absence from MPSIMS! Well, that _and_ the fact that I work in Shakopee, so’s I’m not sure I could’ve made it anyway. Lemmee know when you’re planning another one of these and I’ll see if I can make it. The e-mail’s in the profile, I think. Glad ya’ll had a good time. I need to get in on one of these soonish.

**Ethilrist** , **Punkyova** , **Osbie** , **Beadalin** , **NurseCarmen** , **MissTake** , **Dangerosa** and **chique** should all have an invite in their mailboxes by now. Lemme know if you don’t; I’ll double-check e-mail addys and send again. And I know **lno** got his because he already responded in the affirmative for himself and his woman. So we got that goin’ for us (which is nice). He said something about homemade brats and Polish sausage. :::drool::: ---

Aw, I musta misspoke in the email. **Elenfair** won’t be tagging along to this bbq; instead, she assisted with the homemage sausage and brats. Speaking of, I think I’ll go make a couple for lunch. ---

Assuming I am invited (because who wouldn’t want to bask in my glorious presence?), the invitation hasn’t shown up yet. Can I come, pretty please? I am such a dork. ---

**punkyova** rocks and must be there, with or without friends. I owe **dangerosa** money, so you should invite her, too! **imthjckaz** can stay home for all I care, but **spiderwoman** MUST be there. 😃 ---

Hey, I know where you live, and if you didn’t have such an itchy trigger finger, I’d go over there and tip your cows. But not the one[**lno**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=1689325#post1689325) that had relations with, it’s gone through too much trauma. ---

Ahem. I am not generally in the practice of opening email with attachments from names I don’t recognize; I actually tend to delete them unread. So if you could resend the invite, I could read it, rather than sitting here looking at an empty trash can, thinking, “Oh. _THAT’s_ who that was from…” ---
