I couldn't make it to ANY of this weekend's gatherings. So here I sit, waiting to call in.

Then I realized, I'm here holding down the fort with all of the rest of you who couldn't go either.

Yay us!

So, let's pretend we're actually AT a Hatrack gathering right now.

"I'm next in the bathroom!!!!"

Seriously!

No, Bob, as the pregnant lady with a bladder the size of a peanut, I get exclusive bathroom rights. You'll just have to go find a bush outside! [Razz]

I'm not anywhere, either. Pass the chips and salsa, please.

Bob, your house only has one bathroom? Should we watch a movie, play a game, or just talk? Anybody got any chocolate?

why can't we have the gathering without actually gathering?

I mean we have chat, bored games, and can see eachother(at least many of us are in some pictures at foobonic). We should plan a time for those who could not go to get to gethers to invade chat, overrun games.com, and post like crazy here, so when the people who did go get back they can all regret missing it (well they might regret it).

Oh well, at leat the virtual queso is good.

Something chocolate would be nice. M&Ms, Butterfingers, or some Hershey's kisses. Thanks Bob.

Cape Cod Low Fat potato chips!

**A word about these - they are not one of those vile olestra products. They're about 40% lower in fat and calories than the regular chips.

I don't eat them because they're healthy, though. I eat them because they are better than regular potato chips. Less greasy, really crispy and so I eat twice as many of them as I would regular chips.

I could tell myself I eat them because they're healthier, but I'm not gullible enough to fall for that, especially when trying to convince myself. [Wink]

*sigh* potato chips...

Ah, well. Back to work.

I don't know, are you guys sick of the Fellowship EE? That would be a fun one. X-2 is also a favorite.

Do we know if Bob has fussy rules about spilling things on the leather sofa? Might be good to know in advance.

I never plan on spilling things, but I'm not exactly surprised when it happens.

**And a shocked silence filled the room**

And then everybody shrugged, because it's Mack.
At least she hasn't flipped us off.

[Big Grin]

In the meantime, darn it - I spilled my coffee loaded with cream and there are greasy potato chip crumbs working their way into the crevasses of Bob's leather sofa.

Miss you all, hatrack. [Wave]

I'm in Canada, I lost my big warm muffler, and I'm off to visit my delightful (but intense, as in migraine-inducing complexity) mother-in-law.

Fortified with a little red wine and a few minutes of Hatrack, I think I'll cope.

Mack's jolly flash helps. At least there are giggles in the world. *grin

My tongue is still swollen from the hole I put through it, but I'll have some ice cream if there is any.

AND I brought my copy of Return of the King (don't ask). [Monkeys]

Funny thing happened on the way to the store. Well, not really funny, as in odd or peculiar. More like interesting but not overly so. In fact, forget I mentioned it.

Suffice it to say, however, that while I DID get the chocolate and Cape Cod chips (yum!!!), I also ended up purchasing various amusements to really get this party going.

Let's see, we got Twister but someone's removed the little pointer/spinner thing, so we'll have to just make up colors and names of appendages to shout out.

We got a double-wide Slip N' Slide with a large rip about 3/4 of the way down.

There's two of those 3-D puzzles. One is of Notre Dame and the other is the Parthenon. Unfortunately, they're mixed together.

And I bought a flip chart and some colored markers if we want to do Pictionary.

Okay. It's all lame.

Let's watch a movie.

And what the @#$%^!@# did you do to my couch?

Oh well, PSI Teleport can come sniff it later and give us her evaluation.

So, what'll it be? I've got Ol' Yeller and Shane on DVD.

Thanks for the Cape Cod chips!

I brought some XXXX-sharp cheddar and some triscuits.

(Averting eyes, hoping someone will tell Bob to close his drawers.)

Duct tape??? Of course I've got duct tape. What color would you like?

Name me one American who doesn't have a roll of duct tape on hand. It's like not having a dog or something.

Hey! Come back! Darn, the dog thought we were going to duct tape her...again.

Sorry Smokey!

I figure the duct tape should match the Slip & Slide.

Do you duct tape your dog often? [Eek!] [Big Grin]
