D’oh. Cheesehead alert. I will not be able to make it, as this is one of those rare occasions where I can watch the Packers on regular TV and not have to go somewhere (other than congregate w/my fellow packer friends). /me hangs his head and leaves the room ---

I can’t wait to see what Moss says to justify this. “Man, I ain’t no drughead! I was just curious. It was my first time! I DIDN’T INHALE!!!” :sigh: Oh well. rubes, you’re dirty. The Packers, man? Just get out of the thread then. 🙂 ---

The Packers, hunh? ~~sigh~~ And yes, **chique** , I surely can bring an offering to the Dopers 😃 Lutefisk? Lefse? Anything else bland and white? And re: Moss…The pot wasn’t his. He lets many other people drive his car and it was his. His eyes were red in the booking photo due solely to his remorse for what he did. No other reason. Nope. And that was typed with a straight face. Sort of. ---

W00T! She’s gonna bring food! 😃 Naw, I have better lefse recipe on my wall. Someone had better bring chocolate, though. 😉 For reference, I live about 12 miles northwest of St. Cloud - it takes 90 minutes to get to the airport from here (in optimum traffic) (when I’m driving…YMMV). I’ll email directions the week before. **MissTake** , you might want to email me so I know how to get those to you. And y’all heard what Leno said about Moss last night, right? Best drive the Vikings have had all year… ---

I decided that **I** would make chili this year. Then you’ll know how good your chili really is, chique. 🙂 Kidding, I’m not actually going to bring chili. I’ll think of something though. Cookies again? I got this really good recipe for these graham cracker/chocolate/coconut things. Maybe I’ll make those. And maybe I’ll eat them all on the way. 😃 Isn’t there a Subway on the way there? Giant Sub, anyone? I dunno, give me some ideas. ---

I forgot. **rubes** is originally from Wisconsin. The cheese is in his veins, man. I, on the other hand, am proud to live in the beauteous state of Minnesota and therefore support all of the homegrown teams with pride and joy! Go Vikes! Go Twins! Go T-Wolves!

If my car is fixed by then, I may very well show up. Is it hard to find? I can get lost in a paperbag. If I do come, what kind of food should I bring? (Any non-food items?) ---

**Silver Fire** , there _is_ a Subway in town, right when you make the right at the lights, and that’s not a bad thought. Don’t think enough people are coming to justify it, though. OTOH, it would save me from food poisoning people…what do the rest of you think? **Gazelle** , I think you meant to say the cheese was in his _head_. 😃 **BlackKnight** , it’s VERY easy to find my place. With directions, of course. How 'bout…chips? And you’re coming from Dooloot, right? If you want to come down the night before and borrow the spare room, let me know. ---

Yikes. The way the 'Queens are playing tonight I’m thinking someone should bring along a really good movie or two. ---

Any complaints about sloppy joes? Good, cos I’m broke and they’re cheap. 😃 [sub]This is, of course, nothing more than another shameless bump.[/sub] ---

Have to withdraw my asking to attend. I will be moving over that weekend (I kept saying I don’t _HAVE_ to move that weekend, but the movers {the ex and friends} said yes I do). And, as someone stated above, with the way the Queens are playing…I’ma thinking I would do better loading those barges totin’ them bales than watching our ohso sad team be again eviscerated. Now who is up for a World Series party??? ---
