I think I can make it. I have an exam that afternoon, so as long as I can get to the DO in time, I will be there and be thirsty.

Hey Mike. Do we need to commit here to make the "A List"? Thought you had me down via PM. No need to answer, just add a donut.

Anyway, "+1!"

And to and re MM, the rest of us learn 90% of the time. And to the 90%: We've got him right where he wants us...

Friends, be there or be square. You have no idea how much we learn from each other if we want to. Then how much we forget when it gets late. (People actually bring note pads and tablets.) You'll see.

I didn't manage to take that nap because I was overtired and I heard construction on rue Sherbrooke.) My screenname is the title of my favorite Barenaked Ladies song.

The Tim Horton's doughnuts I've had are dry as heck and disgusting. Now, if someone wants to bring real iced capps, I'm there.

I can't pick up a Boston accent even if I try...and as long as I'm still talking about Canadian music, oh, don't you know you've got to try...? I like my current accent, though.

I met BNL once and they was cool./ great concert too! We should have them attend this event!!

Just the fact that you are being so non-committal only makes me want you there more!

Yeah, well, after committing to be at OK Corral for you, then flaking (due to another command performance), it's gonna be doubly difficult to show my face at the same table. But we'll get over it.

what do you mean? You think yourself not worthy?? Well I beg to differ! You are worthy my friend

!

'Tis me who is nothing but a pair of ragged claws scuttling across the floors of silent seas... I mean, just head over to the other side of FT at the UR threads and you can witness how a bunch of knuckleheads there have decided to take me apart for acts they think I have committed as some sort of braggart years ago in here. Geesh I cant even remember what I did last week let alone years ago! lol

Maybe I wasted the tax payer's money --who knows.

Well I am indeed FlyerTalk's most misunderstood man, that's for sure. Love to have brews with ya though and talk about today's mileage earning strategum, if that's a word

Not necessary. But a nice reason for a bump. Or a bump is a nice reason to... Never mind. Awkward attempt to wrestle a double entendre.

Wooooosh... (On looking at the OP.)

We'll let it slide this time...

And as a reminder, as the organizer of this Do, I reserve the right to pay the bill with my credit card to collect the miles. But I don't want to catch any of you rascals sliding out of there without paying me.
