F’nord.
Great time everybody. Thanks.
‘F’nord’?
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!
You owe me some beers, woman.
Biggirl, check your e-mail! 
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 was told there was. But I still think I started it all!
I’m eating delicious Dave-ribs right now.
P.S. I didn’t get your e-mail Cosmo.
Bastard Hallmark trolls. Hopefully someone else didn’t get your thank-you note!
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. <sub>uh…did I say that out loud?</sub>
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
