Never been to one and wonder if someone can post a summary of what happens?

Or is this DO like a Mafia meeting when 25 attend and 24 leave? HAHA
Sorry euromannn, what happens at the Do stays at the Do.

Somehow I overlooked this thread, and also booked a conflicting trip to Alaska the day before it was started. I'll think of you guys as I change planes in PHX mid-DO.

Welcome to FT, ginkgo!

I don't think there is a sign-up page as such. The link in mikeef's signature simply brings you to this thread. If you look at the first post he does say the address will be sent by PM to those who post their intention to attend in this thread.

I think we're going to have 14-16 people in total, which is a nice size.

I am bringing like 30-35 mixed beers. We have had many apres ski parties up north and well my fridge got too full so these are ones we cannot fit. Some good ones in there. So maybe do not bring beer unless you have ones you happen to really like. Although I have a few you will too. I will leave em with Mike and we will all enjoy them.

However, I have a request. If anyone is near or can be near Wegmans in Northboro, I need a certain beer in quantity from there and live no wheres near it. Can you PM me if you are willing to get a case of it? Jacks Abbey Mass Rising and Kiwi Rising. A mix of say 12 each would be grande, or a case of either or 12 of either. Whatever. I will pay cash at Mikes. No need to chill it if it was sold unchilled. PM me and we will work it out.

I may also be going to Trillium brewery in BOS that day first. So will bring some of their amazing beer to this shindig.

And now for some fun stumpers (to be tried when sober lol):

1. Johnny's mother had three children. The first child was named April. The second child was named May.
...What was the third child's name?

2. There is a clerk at the butcher shop, he is five feet ten inches tall and he wears size 13 sneakers
.. ...What does he weigh?


3. Before Mt. Everest was discovered,
. what was the highest mountain in the world?

4. How much dirt is there in a hole
...that measures two feet by three feet by four feet?


5. What word in the English language
...is always spelled incorrectly?


6. Billy was born on December 28th, yet his birthday is always in the summer.
....How is this possible?

7. In California , you cannot take a picture of a man with a wooden leg.
...Why not?


8. What was the President's name
.... in 1975?


9. If you were running a race,
...and you passed the person in 2nd place, what place would you be in now?


10. Which is correct to say,
.... "The yolk of the egg are white" or "The yolk of the egg is white"?

11. If a farmer has 5 haystacks in one field and 4 haystacks in the other field,
...how many haystacks would he have if he combined them all in another field?
