Simple enough question…and thought you guys may have a good time coming up with some interesting names. I can only submit one name for the official vote though–the hostess/organizer is a tad on the strict side. But I’ll bring all the good ones to share with the group anyway–for I am a tad on the not-so-strict-side 😛

Thanks!

Veni, Vidi, Vino"  
(I came, I saw, I got drunk)

I believe this is the motto of most Dopers, and a mandatory bylaw for mods.
