A few protoguesses:

bbs2k is a cop.  
dotchan is a politician.  
Eureka has the game backwards, she thinks it’s the guests job to guess the hosts.

No, and if you don’t stop egging me on, I swear I’m gonna knock your lights out, no matter who tries to stop me. You know they love it when we fight.

Sorry I’m late guys and gals. I had my arm twisted to find a supply of [bacon salt](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=429516) for my fiancee. She insisted I run it over before coming here.

She’s sorry she couldn’t come herself though.

So anyone going to get a guy a drink? I’m dying of thirst here.

☹ poor bacon salt. I hope it is ok. I’m not sure it can survive that, your car is pretty heavy.

Here, have a beer or three. Did you smuggle us a container of the BS, or does the fiancee have it all?

I’m back in the [runabout](http://www.motorbase.com/vehicle/by-id/1110/). It’s surprisingly light; they didn’t weigh in much over the half-ton.

Sorry **Dio** - she snuck out and found the bag I stashed in the front. Just to help with ballast, you understand? 😉

(Loading an 8lb bag of potatoes in the front luggage space did wonders for handling…)

This party really moved along today and with only a little pushing and shoving. You are a good host **Rysto**.

**Twickster** , I can’t believe I went back to the caps mistake after you were nice enough to remind me I was doing it. I cannot seem to break the habit. In fact, I just had to go back and correct Caps to cap.

Anyway, anyone up for some Heckle & Jeckle?

Yoo hoo! I’m still here and I’m waiting on my mint julep, and I do hate to get impatient, but a girl gets thirsty.

In case you were wondering, I’m enclosing the recipe down here. And come up and see me some time, why don’t you?

2 cups granulated sugar  
2 cups water (branch water is ideal)  
Fresh Mint  
Crushed Ice  
Kentucky Bourbon (2 ounces per serving)
