Did you get my e-mail?

Is this a mayfly thread? If so, you really should mention that in the topic, so nobody posts something in it they wouldn't want deleted. [Wink]

Yes, I just got it this morning. I'll call the dressmaker today for a status report.

[Smile]

Anyone who can't figure out the mayfly potential of this one gets no sympathy from me.

What about the tux card? (The menswear guy called me to rat on everyone who hasn't sent theirs back yet.)

Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :

Since this is a mayfly, thread, I'm going to confess my undying and eternal love for Ralphie . . .

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

Aw. I wanted a mayfly with my name in it! [Cry]

I don't recall a card, but I'll ask Cor about it. I was going to go get fitted this week, since you guys told me early March.

Whoa. Dude.

Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :

*eeep*

If you don't have the card, let me know and I'll priority-mail another one.

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

And what's with the exclamation point? "Icarus!" looks like the title of an ego thread, but this is not one. Are you snapping at me? That would be my second guess.

[Wink]

Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :

Actually, it was excitement to see you posting right when I needed to talk to you.

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

Ah. Okay, that's a likely story.

[Smile]

Posted by Megan (Member # 5290) on :

heehee...Icarus...wings...

I wonder if it's a wax mayfly.

Posted by sndrake (Member # 4941) on :

Psst. Icky, someone is going around cleverly disguised as you on the mustard appreciation thread.

I thought you should know. [Razz]

I'm actually a man. A big, hairy, sweaty man.

PS: And I'm stalking Scott R.

RALPHIE PERKINS???!!!

Been a coon's age, young!

CT:

[Eek!]

Whoa. Dude.

*belches, grabs Scott R in a bear hug, and gives him a big ol' noogie

[Big Grin]

Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :

You rat!

I thought you'd gone and eloped with. . . uh, what was that midwestern bit's name? Donna? RaeShawna?

Something like that. Whatever happened to her? Did she get her teeth fixed?

Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :

Why, I have as yet to be blessed with the holy union of matrimony.

WHOA! Dude!!

CT, that's...that's... [No No]

Posted by Mean Old Frisco (Member # 6666) on :

Since we already have a thread for Iccy...

Are we gonna hang out while I'm in Orlando (Oviedo, really, from the 14th-19th of this month), Pepe?

I tried and failed to get Stormy out of seclusion, but you still up for some Jai Alai?

Anyone else?

Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :

Since this will get deleted anyway...

*streaks through thread*

Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :

Mister CT, would you like to explain your preference for toothless women to the group?

Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :

CT, you have surprisingly svelt, hairless feet for a big hairy dude.

Elizabeth, I assume that CT, the big, hairy, sweaty guy likes toothless women for their gumption.

I'm sure that's it, Punwit.

Re: editing
I, er, didn't realize the punchline to that "joke" until I googled it. Suffice it to say that many of my older brother's friends' quips sailed right over my head. [Blushing]

Darn! I forgot about the henna shots.

Um, even us big, hairy, sweaty men like to feel pretty and feminine every now and then. [Smile]

Um. . . no we don't.

Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :

Speak for yourself, lassie.

*drinks straight out of milk carton, grunting happily

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

Frisco, that sounds like fun. That's Monday to Saturday, right? Jai-Alai Friday or Saturday?

I would have been jealous if you'd had better luck with Stormy than the rest of us have had, but maybe we can coax Zan or Rakeesh to come. er, with us. er, to the Jai Alai.

It might be fun to do something else as well, if we can work it in around my work week and rehearsals. [Dont Know]

Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :

Ralphie, I have nothing to say to that.

Posted by Mean Old Frisco (Member # 6666) on :

Friday's better for me. Saturday night I'm going to Universal for Mari Gras and a concert.

Not quite sure what my schedule is for the rest of the week. I'm sure it incldes a lot of loafing and bumming around the beach.

Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :

I can't believe you went and exposed my whole name to everyone on the interweb like that, Scott.

The eternal love thing was predictable, tho.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Amazing. Scott now responds to Ralphie's posts before she posts them.

Posted by zgator (Member # 3833) on :

We leave on vacation early Friday morning, so I'm out for jai-alai. Maybe earlier in the week for something though.

Frisco, up til about 6 months ago, I lived in the Oviedo area.

Icarus, the reason I sounded weird when you called about jai-alai the other night was because you were not who I had been expecting all day to call. It took a second to figure out it wasn't that person.

No problem. [Smile]

I'm sorry I couldn't ask you with more notice, but that was pretty much the moment we decided on it.

(Are you a baseball fan? Which team do you like?)

Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :

This mayfly has apparently hatched a new brood.

Posted by Mean Old Frisco (Member # 6666) on :

I'm definitely up for a baseball game. Who else plays in Orlando, besides Atlanta?

[edit: nm. answered my own question ]

So? Should I be sending you a new tux card?

Sorry, missy. THAT'S the Ralphie Perkins I was talking to-- the one with the beard.

And while you could use a good laser treatment, I don't think that your whiskers will ever reach Odinesque proportions.

Well, sounds like you three will be quite...busy.....

Have fun storming the castle!

Posted by zgator (Member # 3833) on :

What ever happened to you moving down here, Kwea?

Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :

The tux guy just called me again.

I'm sending you another card, priority mail, this afternoon.

There could be more than one.

I'm the one without the beard but with your eternal love. This other Perkins chap is just a screen.

This thread makes no sense.

*my head a splode*

Posted by Ralphie Perkins (Member # 7487) on :

[Mad]

I'll get you, Other-Ralphie. An yer scaggly varmint, too!

Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :

(I'm a nickhead. I'm so ashamed. *hangs head

You never think it will happen to you.)

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

Aren't you glad I got you to take back that promise? [Smile]

Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :

ElJay, you have made of me a wanton and shameless woman.

yeah, I guess I'm pretty happy about it. [Wink]
