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.

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.)

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.

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.

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?

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?

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

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]

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]

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
