Forum Fest III

Mee-n-Mac · 09-24-2006, 10:40 PM

Well now I have to say I don't know how we're ever going to top (or match even) this year's FF. Luckily we had SteveA's generous offer to save us wussie-men from the downpours this afternoon. Merci beaucoup.

Misty Blue managed to find us despite our best efforts,

and manned

the grill to perfection. Amazing he still has both eyebrows and most of his facial hair left ! (Note to self: next year bring working electric lighter) We had more food and goodies than even FLL could polish off and I'm thinking that if we continue to do this mebbe we should have 10k road race to work off the calories. Hmmm, did I say 10 k, I meant 1.0k ... errr, anyone for 0.1k ? (Decimal places, almost as confusing as apostrophes)

I'm told we went "live into cyberspace" and yet the building looked like it made in the late 1800's so I'm a tad

. With the webcasting and big screen TV, I have to ask if live chat/IM'ing will be the next big FF thing ? I guess this leaves Mt Major out (waaaay out) as the next FF meeting place. As Pepper previously posted the raffle went well with many fine items going to happy homes. Nary a shot was fired, nor knife unsheathed, over the quilt drawing, a welcome change from last year.

I'm still uncertain how the USMC "drafted" me (not "Mee" but me .... that is to say ... aahhh nevahmind) to assist in the whole raffle thing but having been called to duty, and unable to run away due to too much food (see above) and a general case of lethargy mixed with unrelenting feet of lead, I did my best to call out the winning ticket numbers to whomever paid me the most ! (Crap, did I just type that in public ?) Well, errr, OK but to those who won, remember that "check is in the mail" stuff isn't going to wash with "Mee". Oh yes, be afraid, be very afraid !

So now it's time to contemplate the next Winni Forum event and yes I am referring to WinterFest I wherein Winni Forum Flyers will demolish them thar ABCCC boys in the manly sport of crib racing. Yes, I can see it now. All they'll see are "derrieres*" and elbows, elbows and ... what ... about 10:20 dear ... past time for my meds ? .... OK be right there ... where was I ... and ... well something fast and ahead of them !

*That'd be fancy wussie-boy French speak for butts. Now in Nawlins, a city with a strong French background, they'd use a different term. Kinda odd, that.
