But of course, my little pumpkin muffin. You’re a tad vague about your location. “Upstate New York” covers a lot of real estate, y’know. And to some denizens of Noo Yawk City, Yonkers is considered “upstate.”
But _Casa Dave-Guy_ is not far from the Thruway, the Garden State Parkway, and the Palisades Interstate Parkway. So unless you’re talking Watertown or Potsdam, y’all come!

This sounds very interesting and delicious as well. Perhaps I can hitch a ride with Biggirl. I will definitely bring some goodies along.😉

I’ve HAD it with this thread! Here I am all hating Dave and stuff for planning this butt-kicking cookout, and all of my totally best Doper buds are going to be there…Dear Goddess, I’ve never been so honked in all my life!
You people leave me no other option but to SHOW UP and tell you how pissed off I am, right to your Dopery little faces.
So THERE. Deal. Nyah.
😃

Hell yeah, you can come! In fact, you’d better.
::pictures **tkeana** savagely ripping into a big meaty rib, face all smeared with **The Dave-Guy’s** secret Jack Daniels BBQ sauce::
::promptly faints dead away, a biiiiiiiiig smile on his face::
And the 14th is most assuredly doable, Dave. I’m so there I’m gone again.

DaveGuy, if you have this shindig on a Saturday, maybe I can swing it after all. I’d love to take Sue up on her offer of lasagna, but I insist on bringing _something_. Maybe dessert? What do you guys like for dessert after a day of rib eating?

Indeed! I’ve had the hots for her ever since I first saw the closet scene in _Monkey Business_. And then of course all four Marx Brothers sing (or play, in Harpo’s case) variations of the same song to her in _Horsefeathers_. (“Baravelli, you overcome me!” “Okay, but remember it was your idea.”)

That would be fine with me.
**Biggirl** and family, **Ducks** and **Duhnyms** , **Cosmo** , **Persephone** , **beerchick** , **Zyada** - wow, this is gonna be a party indeed! ( **Euty** , _surely_ you can get here from RI - it just _ain’t_ that far!)

Oh yeah? OH YEAH??!!
Well…just you set foot on my property and…and…and…
And you’ll get a nice mess o’ ribs, some side dishes, a few beers, and lots of hugs and kisses! 😃
I think I’ve earned my sig.

I like ribs.
How do I get there by bus (the posted link doesn’t work for me)?

Hmmm…
Ribs in June. Sounds good! Count two of the three Doorses in. (Aaron needs an introduction to cookouts.)
**Zappo** , wanna carpool?

If it’s Saturday, we may be able to make it. We’ll have to see if the car is available for our borrowing, unless any Dopers from this direction want to pick up a few lonely Philly Dopers and bring them along…
Besides, with _this_ cast of characters, there’s no WAY I can miss it!
And we can all raise a glass to **Verrain** , who’s birthday is the 16th! (It’ll be a full birthday weekend for him, that’s for sure!)

And I’d like to know just where the heck **FriendBill** is, anyway? If anyone is invited and compelled to come to this, it’s he. Heck, he’s family.
And he needs to bring a certain lovely British redhead who is a DoperChick even though she may not realize it yet.

He’d be crazy not to. I hope I’m not giving away any secrets here, kid, but…
HE’S CRAZY ABOUT YOU!!
