I needed a good laugh. I'm having a lame day of work.

Lame-o day, huh? At least you won't have too many more of those at your current job----always exciting to venture into something new!

I think some clarification is in order.

I told Aucarol that I would have affairs with 6 different women -- which would make it a great time for me.

I also told her that she would not be one of those 6 -- which would make it a great time for her.

Hehe. And if that keg your kneeling next to in that pic is any indication...

You should definitely stop by the Delta Forum and check into the Lounge™. You don't even need to be Flying Delta that day, or be flying at all. You will never be asked to take off your shoes to gain access.

I think you should bring that keg with you, goalie. I think I'll need it...Dov just told me I wouldn't be one of his women in FLL!! And when you can't even get Dov to have ya, then it's time for a big ole drink!

I thought that was the way you wanted it.

Why else would you make me sign an oath -- in blood! -- that I wouldn't get closer than 5 yards to you?

sadly, the "stanley keg" is won empty (tho the drinking does come afterwards ). now if i can make it, but where i have a feeling that the wonderful folks at the tsa will probably make me check the keg, how 'bout i just buy a round or two .

Oh. I'd forgotten that. That was when I was alone with you in your ATL hotel. Whew. I feel better. Although as the meet draws closer we may have to draw up another one, just in case.

That sounds like a good plan....you're gonna fit in quite nicely.

We have had a tradition at past PBI-FLL Meets that I am inclined to continue but would like some input from you.

We have had doorprizes that work like this:

1. Everybody brings a prize. There is no dollar value set (or even suggested). Indeed, one of the best prizes I ever got was a freebie set of pajamas that somebody had been given when they flew AF in FC.

There are, however, a few requirements: The prize you bring should in some way reflect you. It can be something from your country (or state or city), something from the airline you prefer, something that reflects your profession or hobby -- that is up to you.

Also, it can not be liquid or too heavy or easily breakable (remember, most of us are flying back from the Meet).

2. The prizes are put out at a table at the Big Dinner and names are thrown into a hat. Everybody's name goes in -- even if he forgot to bring a prize. If a couple attend, both of their names go in (and, hopefully, each will bring a prize).

3. The names are drawn. While everybody will get a prize, it will be on the basis of "first drawn gets first choice". To make certain that nobody goes home without a prize (even if some people forget to bring them) I will bring a few extra from Israel.

What do you think? Should we do it again this year? (If possible, please answer in the next 12 hours -- I will be going to Acre tomorrow and can get some very interesting prizes there.)

It worked out great last year and was a lot of fun. There were more than enough prizes on the table. IIRC, we started a second round before all the things were claimed. I still laugh every day at my canned kangaroo! Thanks, Oz

I picked up this fancy looking can opener at the last Do. Let's see what I'll go home with this time
(and let's hope it won't be a can of whoop ... )
