Quiet Chi-Dope - Is it possible??

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

OK, so I’m thinking that it may be time for a quiet get together. We had one, gosh, about two years ago now. I know when I hijacked the lunch bunch thread I had suggested maybe the 13th of September, but that is just not gonna happen.

So, any takers for a quiet evening of cards, some movies and maybe, just maybe, some food and alcohol?

Maybe the last weekend in September or the first weekend in October. I’d like for us to still be able to sit in the yard if we want to and much later than that and it may be an impossibility.

Pot luck for dinner, maybe. That worked well at Gundy’s for the last Chi-dope.

So, any takers?

I think it’s a swell idea. We could get a really kick-ass game of Trivial Pursuit going. If you’re taking votes, I’d vote for the last weekend in September since the next weekend is my parents’ anniversary.

Of course, I’d be more than happy to help out with any prep work beforehand.

One vote tallied.

And, as you know, I graciously accept the offer of help.

4

That sounds pretty sweet, Jane. I have no preference on weekends. I’d also be available for any help you might need.

5

That does sound like fun, Jane. I’ll say that my weekends between now and the end of September are pretty full, at least on Saturdays. Fridays would be a lot more do-able for me until the first weekend in October.

Either weekend looks good for me. Saturday would be my preference. I can bring Chili Crack. If UncleBeer is in town, he’ll be joining me (like he has a choice). :wink:

And Jane, you just have to establish the rules ahead of time for a Quiet ChiDope, like No Sex in the Bathroom.

Do I have to BE quiet at the quiet Chi-Dope? Because if so, I don’t think I can do that. :wink:

But seriously, would children be welcome?

8

That sounds like fun. I can’t actually guarantee quietness, unfortunately, especially if we play Trivial Pursuit. I can’t exactly whisper trash talk, can I now?

Thanks for the reminder, so here we go:

Rules for a successful quiet Chi-Dope

  1. No sex in the bathroom

  2. No peeing on the floor

  3. Other rules to follow at a later date…

10

Of course kids are welcome, and we really won’t be quiet - there is a player piano in our dining room, after all. :smiley:

11

Yay! My boy is seven, and very well behaved. Count me in, but I’ll just need to confirm once the date is set.

12

Right-o. Peeing in the bathroom, sex on the floor. Got it.

13

Heh. A couple of weeks ago, I had a dream that I had a bunch of dopers and friends of dopers over to my house, and they peed on all my stuff (including the floor).

14

I really hope you make it, then, because if you’ll bring your kid I’ll bring mine. He’s nine, but he really likes playing “big brother” to younger kids.

Jane, would you for sure want it on Saturday, or would a Sunday work as well?

15

My preference is a Saturday, that gives me some recoup and clean up time, but a Sunday afternoon will be considered.

16

Darn it. I always get those mixed up.

17

Sex in the pee on the bathroom floor?

18

Bathe in the floor pee sex room.

19

I don’t remember you ever being at my house - how’d ya know about the pee sex room?

I’ll just have to make sure I bring a mop.
