**MikeG** , are you a girl scout? Not that you wouldn’t look cute in the get up, but I’m having a little trouble buying it.

Nope, parent of a girl scout:)

Who knows? Maybe I’ll check in for a beer if I can get out of the feckin’ office before 9.

Now wait a minute **Random** You KNOW we cannot meet unless one of us is getting food, preferably fried chicken or Chinese 🙂

So where is the initial meeting point and time?

Just got back from Florida…yay. At least it’s above freezing today (I understand I missed a couple of very cold days). See y’all tonight!

I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to beg out on this one. ☹ I’ve got a nasty migraine today, and even if it goes away by tonight, it’s probably better for me to go home and rest rather than go out and drink.

You all will have to drink without me. I’m sooo bummed. Just too much going on. So get to that serious research and pick out a good spot, k?

Damn it.

I just found out I’m out for tonight as well. Got family stuff I need to take care of. My apologies – I’ll have to wait to see y’all at ChiDope.

I’m so bummed that \*\*porc, Jane, \*\*and \*\*Zanshin can’t make it! Phooey! I’m brandishing my fist in frustration right…now!

But life goes on. **Judith** , I’m 5’6", brown skin, hair, & eyes, and will be wearing…uhhhh…a green & brown turtleneck sweater and jeans, unless I’m having laundry problems. If I’m outside, a grey hooded coat.

OH NO!

Don’t tell me I’ll be left alone with **Gundy**! Oh, the horror, the horror. Somehow, I’ll try to suffer through. 😃

I’ll be the Tom Cruise lookalike (but taller) with the brand new Ferrari outside, a huge wad of bills, a harem of beautiful woman, a massive penis, and muscles on top of muscles.

O.K., maybe I’m not a Tom Cruise lookalike, I have a cheap car with a dent in the side, not a whole lot of money, no harem, and only one set of muscles. I’ll be the tall, skinny, geeky guy in the blue baseball cap. A guy can dream though.

Blonde, glasses, tall, Blue parka, Blue shirt/gold tie.

I may have **Gaudere** in tow if I can convince her to come along:)

Gee whiz. My post seemed sarcastic (along with being poorly coded). It was not intended to be at all – sorry if I gave the impression.

I’ll keep my eyes open. If you see a short, slightly Asian-looking lady with brown hair, pale skin, (possibly) grey skirt, and black leather coat, give a holler.

Since this is a site devoted to fighting ignorance, I figured I’d share the Important Things I learned Last Night:

1. Porn’ O’ Plenty is neither plentiful nor pornography.

2. Kahlua Pig has no Kahlua in it, but it sure sounds tasty.

3. It is possible to have surgery one day and go to a bachelor party and carry a machete within a couple days.

4. “Whatchoo talking 'bout” is the fight song heard in the Gary Coleman gym at Drummond school.

5. Spam and sushi DO mix.

6. It may be possible to fit 4 on a motorcycle, kinda like a clown car.

7. I may want to move soon.

I consider myself much better educated now that I know these things. Maybe I should have paid more attention to finding out a place to hold the ChiDope though.

**Hamlet** , that’s what is known as a teaser. We want dirt, man!

Or at least tell us who was there, who you missed and where you went. Also, when I lived in Asia I know that I saw more than 4 people on very small, moped-like motorcycles. After a while you get used to it.

You didn’t miss much, **Zanshin**. Criminy, what a boring group of people.
