First, I’ll copy the email I sent to Peta last night, since I got a preview of the page.

“So I go back to check out the page, after we all started whining about it. And I’m now laughing hysterically. Nice smilie for Chief…he’s gonna kill you. 🙂 Can’t wait to see hte Ootback pics…and the captions you come up with.”

And Peta hon? Want a pic of just me to add to that Oootback page? Because it seems to me yer missing the end of that sentence! 😃

On the home page, the two lovely pictures of the mermaids that I took, the captions should read:

Norfolk, Virginia & **Its** Mermaids

(Sorry, Peta, but this is a pet(a) peeve of mine… the rest of the site is wonderful!)

Yeah, yeah–and I misspelled “dessert”–I’m usually good with grammar (being a writer and all), but I’ll get them fixed soon. 😛

RTFirefly, I didn’t get your pics. Can you try again?

Peta - I just sent them to the Yahoo address in your profile. First time, I sent them to the Hotmail addy in your Fathom profile. (Email me if they don’t get there this time, OK? Because I just got back a bunch more that I hope to scan in tonight - see my post on the [Fathom thread](http://fff.fathom.org/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000173.html).)

(1) There are more pictures up of dinner at the [Ootback](http://www.geocities.com/liam_irisheyes/norfolk/ootback.html) (click Chief to go to Ootback pages two and three)and (2) how long before Chief returns to kick my ass (with words, of course)?

**NOTES:** (1) I corrected the typos that have been pointed out and (2) some of these files are a little big (like 50-60k), so slower connections may take a couple minutes. If people find the pages loads TOO slowly, I’ll break them up more (and try reducing some of the file sizes without losing TOO much quality). (3) I’m working on the next batch, and they should be up soon too.

Cheers!

Peta -

I _think_ Chief gets back tomorrow. I’ve sent an email with the link to this thread, and to the page…so don’t worry, I’m SURE you’ll hear something when he gets back. After all, you ARE the Quenn Innuendo Bitch Putz. 🙂

Way to go with the website, **Peta**! Glad to see the whole thing fell together thru everyone’s efforts. Now I’m just gonna have to make sure I can get to the next DC area Doperfest… living vicariously through the rest of you is getting to be a drag.

What a wonderful site. Great job Peta. Looks like everyone had a great time. One of these days maybe I’ll be able to meet some of you too.

Oh, yeeha, Peta, that display is just lovely! Except whenever I see myself revealed on film, I realize that I look like an elf who’s stuck it’s pinky finger in a light socket. Especially delightful was the “Click on ChiefScott’s Smiley”. Bwahhahhhaaaaa… “Grass eater”, indeed!

Since I was incommunicado due to a lightning strike on my house during that very weekend, I didn’t get to say how much I enjoyed meeting all you lovely buncha coconuts. Thanks for all the great company, especially to the Changeable Chief and UncleBeer for their generous swoops on the tab.

Let’s have another soon, and next time get to tour the Bigass Boat. (Bwahhahhhhaahhhhhaaa!)

Hey, did the rest of the Ootback pics ever go up?

(Okay, okay, so this is really a bump for Scott. So sue me.)

Don’t worry, hon…it was really just a cover to bump this up where Scott would see it.

_gets ready for fireworks when Chief sees that smiley picture…_
