I’m in also. Can’t miss the return of the Canadians (plus their spousal units). My brain may be nougat by then, and I’ll be no help at all for the picture rounds, since I wrote them. or found them. Whatever. ---

Gawdamighty damn! **Lady Cheek** is out, as she’s not feeling well. As such, I’ll be going home first to grab the car. Which means I won’t be there until 7-7:30ish. So **inkysplotchy** , if the return of the Canadian _sans_ spousal unit’s okay, we’ll see you then… ---

You haven’t secretly disposed of **Lady Cheek** , have you? This isn’t some sort of insurance scam where we’ll get some song and dance about her being away on vacation, where she meets someone else… ---

I think he was probably cleaning out insulation, and he said to himself, “Y’know, I have _all this_ attic space…” ---

I see that trivia at the OP is [cancelled](http://www.seattlest.com/archives/2007/01/16/trivia_cancelled.php) tonight. Which is fine by me, because I was about to say that I’m sure as hell not leaving my home once I get there tonight. See you all next week! ---

Well, I forgot to bring my work files home last night, so I went in (I can work from home if I’m prepared). Didn’t leave until 11:15, and the roads were fine, as long as I took it slow-ish and wasn’t stupid. I’m about to head home now, though, hopefully beating the re-freeze. ---

The Irish Emigrant eh? Thats a two minute walk from my place of residence. Where are the Old Pequliar and Kate’s Pub? I do enjoy a bit of trivia… ---

Both Kate’s and The OP are on the 44 bus route. Kate’s is just a little west of I-5, in Wallingford (if you’re that close to the Emigrant, you might consider Kate’s walking distance). The OP is in Ballard. I’d post the addresses, but I’m lazy. Look at [www.quiznight.net](http://www.quiznight.net). We’d love to see you at one of our outings. We enjoy meeting new dopers. Check this thread to find out what we’re planning, or to suggest a plan of your own. ---

Will the doper team appear at the OP tonight? Will two doper teams appear? I think I’ll stop by there this evening to find out. Anyone else going to be there? ---

Not tonight, I’m afraid. Much as I’d like to medicate my hacking cough with a late night of trivia, beer, and fried food, doctor’s orders are otherwise. Hoping to be back in fighting form next week. ---

Hoping to be back in fighting form next week. [/QUOTE] Have you got that nasty bug that’s been going around, too, or is this a different condition altogether? I got nipped with the nastiest, runniest, coughingest cold of some sort, and my husband is just coming off of his, but my co-workers have all been knocked flat on their asses by one helluva flu - hit much harder than me. Most of my customers, I’ve noticed, sound like they’ve got various sized frogs in their throats. Naturally, due to this, I won’t even be able to make an attempt at trivia tonight; head cold aside, I’m picking up for my prostrate co-workers today, since I seem to be the healthiest of the bunch. Sniffle. Achoo. Cough. I manage to see you guys, what, every six months? I’m overdue! Anyway, stay healthy everyone. ---

[QUOTE=Anastasaeon] Have you got that nasty bug that’s been going around, too, or is this a different condition altogether? [/QUOTE] My doctor calls it “a mild flu.” Just like a cold (stuffy & coughy), but for weeks instead of days. Lucky me. On the plus side, the nighttime knockout pills are pure bliss. ---

I’ll be there…probably. Depends on how much I need to work on my fencing, which us up to an old asian man coupled with my recessive catholic guilt gene. ---

Apologies for not getting in on this. Both **Lady Cheek** and I managed to catch one of the several types of colds going around right now. ---

Yes, we all got a fever also…a fever for VICTORY!!! (this is seperate from my personal fever for more cowbell) I kind of expected a more satisying feeling after beating Husker Dont, but trivia is so impersonal, really. No forced handshake, no ultra focused feeling leading to elation. Then again, we got money. ---

Which is nice, but I really miss that whole crushed-spirit feeling. Maybe next week. Oh, no, wait, next week, **I** crush **your** spirits. February then.
