Sunday is perfectly alright with me, but hey, the offer still stands in case sitting around getting drunk and silly and having fun doesn’t pan out. Really! It’s a double lot (sure you don’t want one of those **Kallessa?** ) - there’s plenty of weeds for everyone!! On the other hand - the beer does sound awfully refreshing. Count me in! [sub]darn czarcasm for figuring me out. next time, my kiddies, next time…[/sub] WOO! This is my re-100th post. ---

That was a rather amateurish atttempt at bumping a thread-something that should be left to the pros, bucky. 🙂 Rule #1. When bumping a thread, try to manufacture some sort of reason for the post, no matter how feeble, such as: I forgot to mention that, if possible, we will be meeting upstairs. See? ---

Have we decided on a definite time? I’m going to be camping out at the coast Sat night, so I won’t be back until noon or 1, so if you’d like me to shower and clean up first, I’d suggest 4pm for the meeting time. If you want to smell me after camping for two nights, then 2 or 3 is fine. Either way… ---

And if the intention _is_ to meet upstairs, is there another way to get upstairs than by stairs? ---

Time: 3 or 4 or whenever. Hell, we can meet upstairs, downstairs, or in M’Lady’s chamber. 🙂 Wherever we meet, Gr8Kat, we’ll get you in. ---

Fine, fine…I bow to your wisdom, your Moderatorship. But can I at least poke fun at your incorrect use of a hyphen, instead of a dash?

I was all worried that I couldn’t go because of transportation issues. I looked at a map and thought, “Duh, why not see if there’s a bus to St. John’s?” And there is, so I can go. 🙂 **Ferrous** , thanks for the invite. **freesok** and I will be there. And if it turns out that it’s not really a “pub” but more of a bar, he’ll be inside while I wait outside. Being a minor really sucks, you know that? ---

Gosh, I was going to post something really important on this thread, but I’ve have a fatigue moment (like a senior moment, but for those of us who think we’re too young for senior moments), so I don’t know what I was going to say. I though it might come to me as I typed, and now that I have typed so much, I’ll post just so my effort doesn’t go to waste. Feeble excuse for a post, my eye (G-rated for your comfort). ---
