“hey, i WAS nominated for the entertainment dictator on that thread...i never even saw that! i'll have to put on my thinking tin-foil cap...”

“I prefer butterscotch, but chocolate is okay. Any reason for the preference, lyra?”

“I do want to point out lyra, that I have visited as many Hooter's as I have passed by on my various travels. And the Hooter's in Huntsville, AL has the best talent in the country. I think you should enlist bitpusher's assistance in this matter.”

“Chili is trying to get me in trouble.

If I even look at the Hooter's as we drive by it, my wife gives me a dirty look.

The girls in there are pretty cute though.”

“I am tellin' ya bp, it is undoubtedly the best Hooter's talent I have seen yet.”

“i was just trying to think of something mud-esque, but better... butterscotch pudding and Hooters girls it is! i'll take your word for it, chili.
:-D”

“It's been a couple of years since I was in there last chili. They were pretty hot.

lyra, don't take chili's word for it! Come on down here to beautiful, uh, well, not ugly at least, Huntsville, Alabama! If you come at the end of September, you can even go on the Sipsey reunion trip!

A side trip to the Hooter's can be arranged....”

“aawww, what a nice invitation! that could be do-able. and if you visit DC, i'll have to take you to Camelot or something...there are like 3 strip clubs a couple blocks away from where i work. once i heard this guy who was coming out of one of them at 2:30 in the afternoon say to his friend, "Wow, it's really warming up out here!" i was thinking, HOW long have you been in there already? LMAO...
i've never actually been in a strip club...Hooters sounds good to start off with.”

“Lyra, if you act nice during the Hooter's trip, we might even take you to the Booby Bungalo. You would probably get a real kick out of visiting a redneck strip club.”

“act nice? i don't know, i might not be able to control myself, LMAO!!! cool, booby tour of Alabama, HERE I COME!”

“hsv, al hooters has some good talent?..well hell...Tampa's south hooters was good...tuscaloosa's is so-so...north tampa's is so-so, lakeland is so-so, and destin is ok. Time to goto HSV!!!...buffalo shrimp here i come!”

“The Booby Bungalo?! That sounds like a winner!”

“Ft Lauderdale Hooter's sucked, the original was pretty good, but I am telling you....

Huntsville has Hooters.”

“Ever notice how different the day and night waitress is at Hooters. I have been to the Hooters in Huntsville while on a business trip and lets just say that the girls there know how to make you feel welcome :-).

Hey Chili, if you ever in Nashville go to the Hooters on 2nd Ave when the Titans are playing, they bring out all of the top girls that day”

“I've never been there in the evening, so I have no data point for comparison with the girls who are there during the day. Is the night help better or worse?”

“the night girls are better at least in the ones I have been to”

“I like the idea of having some special entertainment... but hey.. Lyra is handling that.. so I dont have to worry.

:)

I am still working on having musicians coming in tho.

BTW -- more money came in today.. gradually getting there. My out of pocket expense is down to $150 now.”

“bitpusher...let me know a day you'd like to meet for lunch..i'll meet you at Hooters.”

“Towndawg...let me know if you get a sponser to offer an xbox as a prize...we can play "rouchembeaux" for it...i get to go first!

hehe lets see who knows how to play this game!!”

“Next week? Tuesday and Friday are already spoken for.”

“i'll be in arkansas most of next week. maybe thursday”

“OK. Shoot me an email if you can.”

“A side-trip to Hooters? Count me in, bit.”

“OK FG. I got your email, I'll let you know.”

“I wanna go!!

Hooters
Hooters
Hooters”

“LOL @ Stalker. I think if someone wants to go, but not pay, then they can just take a butt kickin' from Stalker. :) What's up Stalker, when you coming back to Arkansas?”

“Bitpusher I'll tell your wife!”

“mdshiker..your invited too..any other hsv tt'ers for next thursday lunch???”

“lol miss opie...I'll probably tell her myself...

When you've been married a while, you learn how to deal with situations like this...

me: well I'm meeting a whole bunch of guys from trail talk for lunch next week

her: oh really? where?

me: Hooter's

her: (cold hard stare)

me: I know, I know, I tried to get them to have it somewhere else, but those horndogs all want to go to Hooter's

her: (cold hard stare softening a bit)

me: dear, you know I only have eyes for you...

her: (cold hard stare mostly gone) mmm....well...

me: oh baby, it'll be okay...what, do you think one of those Hooter's babes is gonna even take a second look at a fat slob like me?

her: (tee hee hee) you're not fat...

me: oh you're sweet, come here baby...

her: (tee hee hee) oh stop it!

<scene ends>

The above is a gross mischaracterization of my wife, who is a wonderful and tolerant woman, the love of my life, the mother of my children, my soul-mate and life partner. Any resemblence between the addled tart described above and my wife is purely coincidental.”

“who needs porn when you have TT antics!”

“Anybody got a time in mind? I usually eat at 11:00, but I can easily stretch that out to 12:00, if that's better for everyone else...”

“go at 11.....stay until 1...long lunch”

“Your wife lurks TT sometimes, doesn't she?”

“Nope. The computer is a great and dark mystery to her. She knows how to type up letters and send email, and that's it. She is just starting to learn how to do Internet searches. That may change when we get her a computer of her own, and put it upstairs where she doesn't have to put herself out (e.g., go downstairs and sit in my filthy den) to use it, but right now, I'm actually pretty safe.”

“bWaaaahahahahahahahahaha.....”

“Well then I owe you an apology. I figured the disclaimer was for her benifit. I'm sorry.”

“no need for an apology, I certainly wasn't offended...

The scene is just yet another of my lame attempts at humor. My wife isn't like that. Really. I mean, what's in the disclaimer is true.”

“I just wanna bang on the drums all day..............

Not being a nice person has its advantages...I just can't think of any at the moment...Im going home, so see my baby, with a red dress on. oooooooh yeah, with red dress on.

well actually, there ain't no baby with no red dress...only Khatru, I think I'll drink myself into oblivion tonight out of lonliness, but then again...maybe not...

I wish I could make up my mind.”

“Well stik, you could always put a red dress on Khatru. WHOO-HOO, film @ 10:00!”

“I was wondering when you might get on this tread...So are you planning on attending this event? If ya are, are you planning on paying? Cuz if ya not, I'll be down in Arkansas quicker than I had planned.

There is no Pizza Category!!!!”

“well lets see.. chairpersons announced..

“Stickmon,

“I don't know if I'm going or not Stalker. I'll pay though, I promise. LOL I'm going to try and hike quite a bit this Winter, you need to get back down this way.”

“lets do it!!!

come on lets do it, do it.....do it till your satisfied, come on lets do it!!!!!!!! why don't we do it in the road....why don't we do it in the road...no one will be watching us, WHY DON'T WE DO IT IN THE ROAD???”

“Stikmon, is your ex-wife still Chinese? LOL You thought we would forget. hahahaha”

“You're starting to scare me...are you having flashbacks from things you did in the 70's?

Jgeils - After bow season, I'll be down to your neck of the woods to do some hiking. Remember I'm off every other week, so a Wed, thur, fri hike might be good. Also I'm still game for a Washington State hike, ticket prices are holding at 200.00 from Kansas City, do you still have those freq-flyer-miles? Keep in touch(tharrell@yahoo.com)
Stinky, if your good we may let you come along too.”

“Yeah Stalker!!!! I was in Washington a couple of weeks ago on a family trip. I have plenty of miles left. I was just talking with my brother last night about planning a trip to either Washington or Utah. He stopped through at Bryce Canyon and Zion on his way back from Washington and he said they were both great. I had to miss the Montana trip and I am getting hiking withdrawal. I really want to go, but it is just too hot around here. I'll keep in touch. Just let me know if you have an idea.”

“jgeils - I was wanting to try to make the PNW 2002 hike this year, last year it was is Sept and I had to work. I will email Strider and see if anything is in the works.”

“cool”
