I’m starting to take offense to you hosts calling me a drunk. I mean, jeez louise - look at pprgrl …she obviously doesn’t know how to pace herself.

Woohoo!

Hi everyone, sorry I’m so late. I made a wrong turn at the **Holiday Inn** and got completely lost.

I’ll just get a mug of black coffee and sit on this couch until the room stops spinning. Oh, and fachaverververwhatsit? Never met the guy before.

It looks like **pprgrl** is using the titles of songs in her posts, but I can’t figure out these two:

I’m a hostess at a hoity-toity private club in Cleveland. Not a “gentleman’s club” but a club for gentlemen. So, since I’m a lady, they are always buying me drinks 🙂

Yeah, exactly. It’s a place where, like, Bertie would run in for a drink with his pals Wiggie and Flopsy Mopsie, or whatever they’re called. 'Cept now it’s mostly older dudes not young Hugh Lauries 🙂

I’ve seen you post in Tribe threads. And you catch Wodehouse references? And you know of a Pre-House Hugh Laurie? I think I’m in love.

But no closer to figuring out what the heck your quirk is. What’s your favorite number? How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? Who shot JFK?
