I love Cadillacs. Apparently so does this Zappo fellow (at least he has a white one) so he’s okay in my book. If he will buy me the new Caddy station wagon, I will kick Eddy out and marry him. ---

**Munch** : Believe me, I regretted that for a day or two afterward! **Superdude** : Same here. Maybe someday I can get me back to Lou’ville and we can have a few more beers. **Jadis** : Well, if I’m aces, that makes you a full house. I think you’re swell. And yes, I’m hoping to make it to Morimoto, subject to some other demands on my time that day. I’ll be down at the folks’ for Easter, so it looks good. **GKW** : Pleased to meetcha! Actually, I have two Cadillacs; a '66 Fleetwood Brougham (double black with a red interior) and a '90 Brougham d’Elegance (double white with red leather). Where have you been all my life? 😃 Send a picture and I’ll go talk to the dealer. Instead of the new wagon thing, how about a '56 Hess & Eisenhardt Custom ViewMaster? 😉 ---

**Zappo** has one white Caddy. Red interior. Sweet ride. Oh yes. It is lovely indeed. But he’s also got a butt-kicking Buick Roadmaster. Now _that_ is some serious automobilage. I see it, and I want to start singing “Love Shack.” You haven’t lived until you’ve ridden in the Roadmaster with six other rowdy Dopers and Sal at the wheel, hollering “Hey! Don’t you make me come back there!” 😃 ---

**Zap** I am definitely up for some beer, pretzels and scrapple. And some sushi. Except for that nasty sea urchin, of course. ---

Both times I’ve been in them with big groups of Dopers, we’ve either made a wrong turn or there’s been disagreement on where we were supposed to go (a la **Lindy** and I trying to help Sal navigate back to the hotels in NYC last January). But, really, if you can’t have fun getting confused with Dopers, who CAN you have fun getting confused with? Especially with Sal at the wheel? ---

**Zappo** I like your taste! I fell in love with big old cars as a child when I first saw my grandma’s pink caddy convertible. It must have been a really old model because its fins were more rounded than pointy. I vaguely remember my mother’s embarassment- like it was some slutmobile or something- but I lusted after it. 🙂 ---

**swampy** : I’m so with you. Sea urchin is just gross. Some nice spicy tuna rolls, though. . .yum. **KCSuze** : The fish and chips at the Claddagh contains a LOT of fish. And quite a few chips. **GKW** : I say again, where the hell have you been all my life? 😃 And where are you now? Maybe you and me and Eddy can go for a cruise sometime. . . ---
