Would only that had I arrived early enough to witness all the aforementioned goings on (and contribute such sarcastic commentary as may have been required of me). Sadly, I was yet 30 minutes ill-timed in my arrival and was thus left unsatisfied with regard to such participation therewith.

Angela, I do wish I had been privy to the wanton attempt on your life as was made by those mal-temporous breadsticks and hope that my sardonically inclined irreverrentiality (my new non-word) was not sufficiently off-putting to you as to disincline you from any possible future discourse with me, my rather abrasive sense of humor having oft tended to drive those ill-accustomed to same to adopt such a stance as regards further interaction with me (and who can blame them).

By the way, I've been reading Boccacio lately, my present prose and patterns of expressivity bearing more than sufficient witness thereto.

No wonder I was having trouble stiffling my yawns... er, I mean, diverting my rapt focus on your soliliquies... last night. :D

Quite sure that one falls under the category of "if you have to ask"....

Hey! "What happens at the Tomato, stays at the Tomato!" ;)

Don't ferget that some of us were whores. :D

....someone will tell you at the next gathering. ;)

I'll be at the thingee on the 20th. A big thanks to everyone for helping me finish my pitcher of beer last night (or also for not helping me at all... except for Studley), and a big thanks to patrolman Skippy for failing to notice that the number "9" is not in the alphabet, even if you're being asked to say it backwards on southbound 35E at 9:45pm on a random Tuesday evening.

The aforesaid events concerning one patrolman Skippy may not actually have happened.

Or not

We passed you on i-35 and you were driving in a perfectly cruise-controlled straight line. Of course, that is usually what gets ya noticed. ;)

I wish my car weren't so easy to spot. I also wish my car had cruise control.

Based upon the recent postings, it seems that us Newbie FTers are welcome at these gatherings - which might help me get out of the house (not counting trips to DFW). I'm in ATL on the 20th, has anyone slotted a gathering for Sept yet?

Not seen anything yet - but it's good to see a fellow Illini down here. I see lots of Michigan stuff (boo!) but never anyone from Illinois.

Much too much of those silly blue and gold colors and not enough blue and orange. And (at the risk of being run-off before I even make the first outing), I'm not talking about burnt orange, I see plenty of that :rolleyes:

September is open at present.

this Aggie says "welcome"!!

This LSU Tiger won't run you off. :)

We need more Big Ten representation :p
