Coolies. I'd drop by, but aside from being not-invited, I have to move in and have no time in which to do it... Posts: 4816 | Registered: Apr 2003

Sorry about that, Ryuko. It was kinda a last-minute thing, he called on his way into town.
Anyway, we had a very pleasant dinner at a local brew-pub called Herkimer's, and chatted for quite some time. My friend Claudia came along, and ended up having an interesting conversation with punwit's father, John (? I think...) because he used to work regulating the field she works in. punwit got to try a couple of different beers, and we heard all about his fishing trip.
See! All Hatrackers should find reasons to visit Minnesota!

And I bet he talked about the time he worked as an assistant in a mountain county in California. He always talks about his days as a Marin aid.

I'm somewhat inflamed that you all are making light of our dinner together. Dinner at a brewpub with intelligent, engaging ladies is serious business. I don't think you realize what's at steak here. The specific gravity of the situation indicates I should knife through the fat so that you understand the beef I have with this bull.

The meal wasn't that good, I heard. After it was graded the chef said, "This D can't be for real."

Actually, I heard that punwit said he was geometrically opposed to that grade and countered that "this C can't be my grade alone." However, the others said he just going off on a tangent.
The dessert selection was the real problem, apparently. When shown the options, the party was said to moan "all you have is pi?!!! You're pudding us on!"
<okay, now that we've brought this full circle back to food puns, I expect we'll be able to order our thoughts. If you'd care to spice things up a little, do try to remain tasteful.>

It was fine until the food fight started. ElJay got mousse in her hear, which would have been fine except she uses jell. "O! My!" she cried.

Punwit and his dad were off hunting duck, so of course they got stuck with the bill. He seemed kind of down about that. He left in a huff calling back to ElJay "eider thought you'd be more generous."

I thought they were fishing. I guess they had to scale back their expectations. Maybe they took a pole. Reely.

We were fishing, anyone tells you different is spinning a tail. I think someone thinks we are gillable and that we would swallow just about anything. Ok now that they know the jig is up perhaps we can reel in this thread and net something worthwhile.

The fishing was quite poor. I don't want leave you with the wrong impression. Let's keep it li creel. Ok?

Dag, this is like our fishing. The live stuff wasn't working so we had to try de-baiting. I admit that the de-baiting didn't auger well for our case overall.

I would never have imagined that Eljay's thread would boil up into a pun thread. You all were just dine to cook up some puns and serve them with a smile.

I believe you are trying to lure me into something I don't wish to be in. Sorry, but I'm gonna wiggle off the hook.

Don't be bleu, Eljay. After God made you, He broke the mold, and gave you a good dressing down. It was salad of work for Him. He felt really creamed when He got home from work.

It could be worse. When the rowing team lost, they had to carry a 2000 pound weight up the dock. The crew ton was very hard on their backs.

Time to toss you out, Dags. That one was ground, Pepper. Parmesan, but I think you've gone all oily on us. Tongs a lot!
