> [@Siege](#): > > **FinnAgain** , I’m looking forward to meeting you. I’ve liked a lot of what you’ve written. Awww shucks m’am. ~blushes~ You’re pretty neat too. > [@Siege](#): > > I’ll bring brownies and possibly some chocolate chip cookies. I’ll also bring along the usual bag of games, including Fluxx, Chrononauts, Chronology, etc. I’m not quite sure what I’d bring, as I’m a good cook, but not a great one. I can, however, make a penne ala vodka that is to die for. Hmmm… would that there was some way to use my preternatural bacon cooking talents for good instead of evil. (Or I could always cheat and just bring a huge salad or something) ---

I may bring corn again, but I’ll try to bring a lot less of it. The denizens of Chez Doors were eating lots of corn that week. (I did learn to make a nice creamed-corn casserole from scratch!) Robin ---

LOL. Guess I can be the cookie monster, and bring along some other baked goodies. I might just take a crack at making more moon pies too. Are we going to do another book exchange too? That was a very nice thing to do last year. ---

I’m a Keystoner, and I’d love to show up and meet all you veterans! July 15th! Time to hit the gym! And the tanning bed! And the plastic surgeon! And… ---

> [@danceswithcats](#): > > Yes. There is a mini playground immediately adjacent to the Lion’s pavilion, and the larger playground is open to everyone willing to walk. Gah. You make it sound like a couple of miles, instead of a couple of hundred feet. ---

I’ll probably give my potato salad another try. I’ll also bring my usual bag of games. Witch Trial, Save Dr. Lucky, Early American Chrononaughts, and (if you’re all reeeeeeeal nice) a normal card deck. ---

I’ll once again try to bring a selection of Russian foods which sound disgusting, but aren’t. And balloons for making animals and such. ---

I (still) can’t cook, so I’ll be the first to volunteer to bring paper plates, napkins, and plasticware. I’ve forgotten if it was **jayjay** or **supervenusfreak** who made that deelicious pasta salad last year… can I bribe y’all with a song into bringing it again? I’ll bring my guitar… 😃 ---

> [@AntaresJB](#): > > I’ve forgotten if it was **jayjay** or **supervenusfreak** who made that deelicious pasta salad last year… can I bribe y’all with a song into bringing it again? I’ll bring my guitar… 😃 That would be **supervenusfreak**. When I make pasta salad, it usually comes out of a blue box and incorporates radioactive orange cheese-like powder. ---

I will bring some of Adams County’s finest produce. Definitely corn and possibly some fruit so those people who absolutely insist on something healthy. Robin ---

I want to come, but it’s iffy because my one of my son’s birthday is on the 12th, and I’m not sure if his party is going to be on the 8th or the 15th. Heck, I might even be on vacation. I’ll know more later on… ---

I make a pretty good Crock Pot lasagna. I’ll bring one of those. I have one of them big honkin’ six-quart Crock Pots, so it should be plenty. ---

> [@Boggette](#): > > Count me in. And I’ll see if I can get The Bog to make some of his BBQ to bring. Kewl! Drive in via 30 from I-83 and you can see a tricked '66 Coronet in vibrant orange, if it’s still for sale. 😉 ---

I know I brought _something_ last year, but I’ll be damned if I can remember what. Don’t know what I’ll bring this year either, besides myself of course. Gotta flirt with **Siege** and stuff. 🙂 ---

**AntaresJB, do you remember what I put in the pasta salad last year? My brain cells have died. I do remember mozzarella and roasted red peppers.** ---

Y’know, I really don’t, unfortunately… I remember the mozzarella… and… um… darnit, all I remember is that it was really really good. ☹ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/too-soon-to-start-talk-of-gettysdope-iii/346919.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/too-soon-to-start-talk-of-gettysdope-iii/346919.md?page=5)
