The rest? Chez Moneaux.

Had a great time and I really liked Psycho Suzie’s-I’ll go back there. Nice meeting a couple of new guys.  
Too bad they were already sold…

Oh no. I missed it. I had it in my head as tomorrow. Mea culpa.

It was on my calendar but then my phone bricked and I lost the calendar.

'Tis ok, you’ll be in charge of coordinating the next one.

Preferably not three years from now, too.

Chez Moneaux has been a hit with family. She took it as Lutheran, not Soup Nazi, which made it more amusing.

Ouch. Seems fair though. I will put it on my calendar for a few months from now. Let’s hope my phone doesn’t brick again. 😃

I didn’t know all you kids lived in the Twin Shitties. And I wasn’t informed when I was there? Harrumph!

You’ll have to come back for a visit before the weather craps out again in fall!

It was very fun.

Good: people, conversations, food, drinks.

I look forward to the next one.

And thanks, **fisha** , for organizing this one.

I still like where we were talking about being Serial Killers (because apparently NurseCarmen’s wife thinks we all are).

Fisha said she’s the best serial killer.

Shodan looked insulted. 😛

And as I said on my FB page afterwards: “I was up at Psycho Suzy’s having lunch with a bunch of serial killers.” What an entirely appropriate place for us to be.

I find it really entertaining that, after all these years, NurseCarmen’s wife has not decided that she was originally wrong, and we are not actually serial killers. No, we are obviously serial killers, just totally incompetent serial killers.

What makes this really funny is that, of all of us, NurseCarmen is easily the most likely to be a serial killer in real life. 🙂

Incompetent?

Or maybe we just spare the Dopers … and are fighting ignorance _with extreme prejudice_. :eek:

I’m the most likely to be a serial killer!!?? I’m so mad I’m going to take my dark windowless van for a drive!

My neighbors will never say the words: “He was a quiet guy. Mostly kept to himself”.
