I would pay DOUBLE if both Kama and Leto were to attend.

But they have to do a skit or something to pay us all back.

And sit at the kiddie table.

I'll chip in $20, and volunteer to head up a New Orleans-Chicago roadtrip/pick-up service.

Maybe we could check out timeshares in Chicago, since once we have one of these things, we're gonna want another.

My ex-wife can probably get us time shares cheap. Depends on how many people are coming.

Okay -- who's this Leto guy? I see you all mention him alot, but don't find any actual posts by him when I do a search. Is that Kama's real boyfriend, or are just guys just kidding her?

Kama -- I have a cousin over there -- will you bring him with you when you come, so I can finally meet him??? [Wink]

There isn't any way I could make it to the con, but I'd be willing to contribute $20 to the "Fly Kama to Chicago" fund. Just email me an address to send it to.

Actually, to avoid being bombarded by email messages requesting $20, I'll rephrase that--Tom or CT, email me an address and I'll send $20.

I, too, will likely not make it to another gathering (I've sold off my left arm for WenchCon 2004 already), but I'll donate $20.

Noemon, I'll email you. We can do snailmail or PayPal, and I come with references. [Smile]

Yes, I vouch for CT! She should be treasurer, if she will take it on. CT, I hope you did get my check from our other project? I don't balance my checkbook so I never know if things come through.

the timeshare would be an interesting idea, however we still don't have a workable date... how far into the future should this be? clearly at least 6 months after Wenchcon, if not longer.

HAHA!!! Kama's reaction to this was choice. [Wink]

I would rob a bank to get to a HatrackCon in Chicago. And I would also pick up an extra $20 for Kama.

Chicago is just the coolest city in the states because *I* was born and raised there. [Smile]

Glenview is a great upper west side/close to O'Hare/classy suburb that I'm sure has some lodgings. (I don't know how cheap they'd be, as the neighborhood is kind of nice.)

What's with the lack of "paying $20 for Ethics Gradient to fly over from Australia" action?

What's Kama got that I don't, eh?

*thinks*

Oh, ok. Fair 'nuff.

You have all those lithe, tan, hot Brazillian chicks down there that run around half nekked.

I'd have to beat them all with sticks in a vanity-stricken, jealous rage. That would be bad for press. [Frown]

We read it in HS when we did a unit on satirical essays. That was a VERY noisy class -- a number of my classmates didn't get the concept of "satire." [Roll Eyes]

Um, kat, I suspect that's an exaggeration for effect. It was far more likely that the babies were born underweight -- this is supposed to be a suggestion to deal with widespread hunger.

OTOH, Swift was lived when men had little contact with newborns. Maybe he just had no idea what an average newborn weighed. [Big Grin]

I can see the " [Monkeys] "

"C'mere, baby. Let me relax you."

"Hey! Don't put your hands on the back of my head!"

"My eyes!"

But in all fairness, the [Wink] emoticon would have to follow the blowjob monkeys, not precede it. And the [Kiss] emoticon would definitely need to precede the oral sex, unless Tom's a fan of snowballs.

I was thinking of a much more innocent scenario:
[Wink] Is a come on
[Monkeys] some friendly flirtation
[Kiss] well you know the rest of the story...

Untill of course the infamous roll over and [Sleep] afterwards
