[QUOTE=silenus] Hi-Times, of course. **Rick** was the [del]smart[/del] sober one and just followed me. [/QUOTE] There, I fixed that for you. ---

oh god, I gotta type this quick while he isn’t looking. **Rick** has me locked up in his basement with a slimy old pc he apparently uses to find dirty pictures on the internet (you will not **believe** what he has as the desktop) Somebody come save me! Oh god, he’s coming! Save me! 😃 Just kidding. Seriously, y’all are great. I’m going to be stuck working on homework until the 13th, but I’ll mostly be free after that. ---

Pictures!! I’ve got pictures. (And my Lizard’s sense led me to Hi-Times liquors, in spite of silenus directions… (That’s not a typo).

I guess not much stands between a this crew, new booze, and a bee-line home. OH, some of those photo’s might be mislabled, they didn’t come out of the camera in the order I took them. ---

It was great to see some familiar faces and some new ones too! The wonderful selection of brew certainly helped to see how great everyone was. ---

The site where I hosted the photos (In a message thread titled ‘nothing to see here, step along, people, step along’) is a small one, so of course someone poked their nose in to see what SLK was up to and exclaimed. “Good God, what is this, a loud shirt convention?” ---

[QUOTE=scout1222] Well, I do still have my ass. [/QUOTE] There was actually a small contingent among us (OK, it was just me) watching the Dodger game while at the 'fest. And I’m sure you know I gave up my tickets to the game for that day. So I’m a little perturbed that you wouldn’t make the same sacrifice for your fellow Dopers. Where’s the love? ---
