Thanks, and you have fun too. Problem is (and I’m not trying to offend you or piss you off), I get the feeling that the “best Mexican food in Dayton” is sort of along the same lines as the “best pizza in Watertown.” Plus, I just can’t drink Tequila. Bad experience. Nuff said.

should we tell him how much this dates him, that he even remembers the tune? Nah, let him cling to his illusions

You ain’t kiddin’!!! I _love_ rollercoasters! One of my favorite things, ever. As a kid, I was at the Santa Cruz boardwalk every summer, waiting in line for the Big Dipper (old fashioned wooden coaster) every chance I got.

**White Ink** , I love you, but were you one of those kids who snuck back stage to watch the magicians stuff rabbits up their sleeves? Some things just ARE, chick. Go with it. Besides, I couldn’t tell you, I suck at math, too. And not in a good way.

I have had a MAJOR case of wanderlust the past couple of days. This time of year always does it to me. I have no idea why, but I always end up staring out the window, wishing I could just get in my car and drive. I may just do that. This weekend is the first one I will have totally to myself in a very long time with no other commitments (til Sunday, round 11am, anyway). Napa is sounding really good. ROAD TRIP!!

**Dreamer** , [here’s a fun little story](http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2003/10/30/state0927EST0025.DTL) that should keep those eyes open for a little while.

OMG! That would so suck (referring to that story)!

I went to Cedar Point a little over a year ago. Met up with some friends (all girl day). We had so much fun! I’ve never ridden so many roller coasters in one day, nor been so very sore at the end of one day! I _love love love_ roller coasters! Got to get back there some day. 😃

That was SUCH a great pun … I can wield words … then they un-wielded themselves!

:sigh:… I’m so sorry, everyone. I didn’t mean to be such an evil, heinous bitch. I will now throw myself from the nearest available bridge.

Are we talking the Dunbarton? or are you going for the Bay Bridge?

Oh, well, the Dumbarton’s closest. But, the water under the Bay Bridge is deeper, _PLUS_, there’s the added bonus that, if I leave RIGHT THIS SECOND, I can totally shut down the afternoon commute.

I’m confused. What’d you do **Mo**? Do we need to have to boys line up to spank you? 😉

Ooooohhh!!! That’s my **Dream Girl**! Just what I need to cheer me up! 😃

I bit off **White Ink** and **SGZ’s** heads for no reason whatsoever, other than the fact that I’m in a really snarky mood, and they were there. And sometimes, it’s just impossible to resist the urge to be obnoxous, y’know? So, I’m sorry. I should reserve my evil tendencies for people I dislike. Which includes NOONE in this thread.

🙂 Glad I could help. _giggle_

I totally didn’t take you as being snarky, just thought of it as dry wit. 🙂 But then I’m tired and delusional.

Wow! A Woman of Power!!!  
But, but, but, but … you could accomplish the same thing just by going out on the Bay Bridge, nekkid under an overcoat, and flashing the traffic … and that would give me a MUCH more profitable video to market!!!  
Heck, I’m betting we could tie up the afternoon commute Really well, just getting all the **OMFG** boys out to take turns spanking your nekkid heiney on the side of the bridge … now we’re talking a Seriously Marketable Video!!! (SMV)  
Or… you and **White Ink** … _wanders off into day-dream land…_
