What the heck are those? Never heard of 'em before, girl. Maybe someone else will have them… whatever they are. Oh, and **AHunter3**? I’ve got lots of mini-peppers. In fact, they come with these chicken knees, jellyfish, and stuff that I got at the Chinese restaurant down the street. I can eat a whole bunch of those… watch me! _eats two heaping bowls of mini-peppers, and washes them down with plenty of milk_ Ah, now that’s much better! Now I am the resident dragon of this thread! (never mind my Chinese zodiac sign, which is indeed the dragon) _breathes fire_ F\_X ---

By the way, those chicken wings need some unconventional toppings on them. How about ice cream? Salsa? Salad dressing? Even the BBQ sauce? F\_X ---

[snooty Brit] I say, would you chaps mind keeping the racket down in there? You’re being awfully noisy, and _some_ of us are trying to play Charades. [sub]I don’t know, the whole neighbourhood’s gone to rack and ruin since these colonial types moved in.[/sub] [/snooty Brit] ---

I’m not gonna eat pig’s feet or hog jowls. I’m not going to drink Schlitz, Pabst Blue Ribbon, or Coors Light. I **am** , however, going to hang out over here in the corner. I have _Wizard_, _Chez Geek_, _Grave Robbers from Outer Space_ and _Fluxx_ in ,my bag and ready to play if there are any takers, though. Smokers welcome. I brought my own ashtray. ---

Ooooh! a _soiree_ with the locals! How quaint! I had the cook prepare some _mofongo_ and some _plátanos en almibar_. This is ethnic, yes? I’ve also taken the liberty to have the closest _bistro_ prepare some thinly sliced Cayman Yams, sauteed in yak butter and sprinkled with Jordanian sea salt and wolf berry powder. They should be delivered within the hour. I am truly excited to, as you say, “hang out” with everybody, but, if it’s all the same to you, I’ll leave my Bruno Maglis _on_. ---

Hi! This is my kind of crowd! I hate shaving…I wear a lot of longish cotton sundresses in the summer to hide my stubble forest. I don’t like wearin’ any makeup, either. Or messing with my hair. **Spritle** That’s very kind of you. I look forward to tuckin’ into the sweet 'taters. Sounds scrumptious! But what’s a wolf-berry? I just revisited my Wisconsin Scandinavian cultural roots, and fixed three kinds of hotdish for everyone. Unpretentious, filling, and chock full of calories. Dig in! ---

Okay, we’ve got BBQ, we’ve got Fritos… Why am I seeing no Frito-Pie? Priorities people!! Oh, and who wants to pitch in 50 cents for a case of Sportz beer? ---

There’s some crushed corn chips garnishing the tuna 'n cheese hotdish I brought, will that do till someone shows up with canned chili for the frito pies? Would spray cheese be okay on top of frito pies, d’ya think? Seems there’s lots of it here. I’m all for culinary adventure… ---

_tut_ _tut_ Oh, sweet **Tabihina**. I was using the more colloquial term hoping that someone would recognize that I was referring to _fructus lycii_ or Guo qi zi, as it is known in the remote areas of central China near Inner Mongolia, where it is grown and then harvested in the tenth lunar cycle. Did you say seven layer dip? Excuse me, the Chinese wolf berry is the dried fruit of the barbary bush (spellings vary from region to region, of course). I’ll continue, but I’m quite parched from the drive down the dusty road to get here. Do be a dear and find something for me to drink. Perhaps a nice, how do you say, RC Cola? Of course. It is well known that Ningxia wolfberries contain 18 types of amino acids, 21 trace minerals, 29 fatty acids, vitamins B1, B2, B6, E, more beta carotene than carrots, more Vitamin C than oranges, and as much protein as bee pollen. What’s more, they are a source of superoxide dismutase and phenylpropanoids. Are those the chocolate dipped Oreos? Must… be… strong… We don’t eat… such… foods… Numerous studies by the Chinese government have shown that Chinese wolfberries are extremely useful for boosting the immune system, protecting the liver, improving the quality of blood, and improving vision, not to mention improving one’s, shall we say, sexual performance? Maybe just one Oreo. OK, maybe two. Holy freaking Crist on a stone-ground whole-wheat cracker! Is that a bag of Malomars?!?!?! Wolf berries, dear, you really must try them. Can you point this gentleman to the loo? ---
