I had a great weekend! I’ll have more to say tomorrow (and at some point I’ve got to post some pix), but right now I need to go to bed. But before I do, I want to thank **DAVEW0071** and his lovely wife for being such wonderful hosts, and for being crazy enough to be willing to put up with a houseful of Dopers. And I’d also like to thank **Gorgon Heap** and **Acrylic Vessel** for putting me up Saturday night.
The rest of you rock, too.

The Doorses have made it home, safe and sound, one stop at Stuckey’s and one dinner stop later.
More tomorrow, when I stop slurring my words.

We’ve made it home safely, after much ribs, much beer, and a day at **Verrain’s** family’s for his birthday (which is in 16 minutes or so ;)). But we’re in one piece. Write ups and thoughts tomorrow.
Probably.
But in the mean time, it was great seeing everyone again and thank you, **Dave** and **Mrs. Dave-Guy** for throwing a kick ass party. I love you guys! I’d offer the next one here, but I don’t have any yard space. 😉

Well, I finally made it home, Sunday after midnight.
Many thanks to **Dave** and **Mrs. Dave** (and to **Miss Dave** for the dance!). I was glad to meet you all.
I’m sure **Zyada** will be along to tell about her airline adventures.
Unfortunately, I have to go get ready for work now, so I’ll drop by tonight to say more.

Lemme see what I can remember through the haze. . …
The crack ladened chocolate chip cookies. It had to be crack 'cuz I could not stop eating them. I wept into my pillow that night when I realized I could not have any more of those cookies. **Not Mrs Dave-Guy** should be arrested.
Not Mrs Dave-Guy’s parents. They were a nice older couple but they had to leave early. He had to put up the aluminum siding on three sides of his house and she had to build a patio.
I was soooo dissapointed about **rjk** not being who I thought he was. I was all set to sing that DMX song “It’s gettin’ ugly-- up in here!” A treat no one got to hear. Lucky Dopers.
Oh My God!!! I just remembered I killed **Gorgon**! I’m so sorry **AV**. I hope you and the baby will be all right without him. I think you two will be OK. Autumn does have that stick now and all.
I cannot leave without listing all the things that made me hot. [ul][li]Swinging in the erotic chair with **Oxy**. [_]The hot couple. You know who you are with all the muscles and tattoos and belly rings. Mmmm hmmmm. [_]\*\*Zappo \*\*quoting Johnny Dangerously. Yessss. [_]Puppy love. There was so much of it all around. [_] **Zayda** and Lindsey’s syncronized hip swivel and hair flip. **Dave**. Oh yeah. If Not Mrs Dave-Guy did have a hold over me with those Chocolate Crack Chip Cookies. . .[/ul][/li]
As a matter of fact, allayalls make my motor run. Kisses all around!

I’ll check it as soon as I get home **Cosmo**. If I had’nta passed out on the way home we woulda had a nice conversation. Hope I didn’t snore too loudly.
**Gorgy** , you live!!! It was the beer that made me kill you in the first place.

Well as they say, “One beer turn deserves another.”
At least I say that.

Okay. I’m a little more coherent now.
Dave and Aaron and I had a great time this weekend. It was great to see y’all again and to finally meet **Biggirl** and family, and everyone I hadn’t met yet.
Mrs. Dave-Guy, your cookies are worse than crack, if that’s possible. Our dozen were polished off before we hit Newark. 😃
Mr. Dave-Guy, the ribs were awesome. Dave and I are having the leftovers tonight for dinner, and maybe tomorrow night, as well.
Autumn is getting her own barrel of cheese balls for her birthday. ::d&r::
Y’all are invited (no, _expected_ is a better term) to Aaron’s birthday party in August. Details TBA.

Thanks for the “hot couple” award, **Biggirl**. **BURNER** & I loved hanging out with you and yours.
Thanks, **Dave** and **Barb** –you’re wonderful hosts.
I’m now addicted to Egyptian Rat Screw, thanks to **Gorgon Heap** and **Acrylic Vessel**.
I met **Zyada**!!! Too bad you and **rjk** live so far away. BTW, why is Texas Toast made in Connecticut?
Got to hang with my girl, **adpaz** and swell fella **Tristam** , not to mention everyone’s favorite barrister, **sadillac**
**Billdo** , you are very sweet.
I have pics! Look to my journal of the same name for the link sometime Tuesday. Peace out.

**tkeana** , it was great hanging with you, too. Either y’all need to get down here more often or we need to head up there more often.
Now, for my quick run down/recap.
I had such a fantastic time! It was great seeing everyone again. From **Persephone** giving me a larynx-crushing hug while I was getting the goodies out of the car to hugging **rt** , **Persephone** and **Euty** as we left on Sunday morning, I don’t regret a minute of it.
I managed to be an utter clutz and fall flat on my butt after only one beer. **Biggirl** , I swear, it was just one then! And, as I said, I had more later and no more clutziness from the Fish.
I had a great time chatting with everyone throughout the day on Saturday. It was good to catch up with **Morgyn** , **Gorgon** , **AV** , **Zyada** and… well, everyone. It was wonderful meeting **rjk** finally.
Watching **Zyada** and **Sakura** dance was fantabulous! I’m so jealous of people that can actually move!
**rt** was doing his best to keep me wet and **Euty** was doing his best to get me into a white t-shirt, just for that purpose.
I was amazed to see how big Aaron and Autumn are both getting. Wow!
Sunday morning was just as great as Saturday was. **Zyada** remembered, at the last moment, that she was to give me a hug from **Chef Troy**. She has one to be delivered back to him from me. Then there was **Euty** showing off his sexy chest and **Zappo** asking me to flash him as an antidote. I think that caused a little problems in the breathing department!
And I got a chance to hug Mrs. Dave-Guy! She gives fantastic hugs, just so y’all know.
Thanks again, **Dave** and **Mrs. Dave-Guy**. You guys are so incredibly awesome to open up your home to all of us wandering Dopers. Now to get everyone to make their way down to Philly… 😉

Don’t worry **TP**. If I remember correctly (and there is a very good chance that I don’t seeing how beer impaired I was) there was a whole lot of falling down going on at Casa Dave-Guy last Saturday.

I’m eating delicious Dave-ribs right now.
P.S. I didn’t get your e-mail **Cosmo**.

Thanks for coming, youse guys. It was fun, and I really appreciate people taking the leftovers home and giving us our refrigerator space back.
**Biggirl** , those were my parents.
**TruePisces** , I agree that you and **tkeana** should get together. But you should get together in New York, so that I can get together with you getting together. Get it?
**Cosmo** , thanks for not mentioning my Richard Widmark impersonation. Nobody needs to know I shoved you down my front steps in your wheelchair. \uh…did I say that out loud?\
To **TruePisces, Persephone, Acrylic Vessel, zyada** …heck, all the wimminz there. I have massive crushes on all of you. Yeah, like…big surprise, right?
And yes, my wife does make excellent chocolate chip cookies, doesn’t she?
And she’s mine. All MINE! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!

I see how it is, Dave… You have crushes on them, but you _crush_ me. _sigh_
