Ltwtbkpkr, someone is already bring yams to the party. I like mine with marshmallows, though. It's ridiculous for Ewker to bring more yams. There will be enough as it is.

OH!!! Did you mean Yam, as in "YAM"? Ahhhh, I get it now...

And telling Ewker to throw Yam into his Christmas "sack" probably is not a wise thing to tell him.

Ivygal, no I was a "grownup" already when I lived there. I worked for the Evening News. Remember the KISS Homecoming visit?

Actually, Nigal, I lived in a little cottage down by a lakeshore back then and drove a '70 Dodge Polara 4-door until I totaled it on a deer. Later, in the U.P., I lived in a little cabin down by the river...but that's another story.

Have fun with the holiday party MMers, I'll be running back and forth to the U.P. for various festivities, but won't hit the L.P. until sometime the second week of January when I'll be in A-Squared for a couple days. I'll let Tarabull, SG, or someone in the Detroit vicinity know if I can swing a get-together.

So Ewker will be riding in a sleigh and going down chimneys with his bag of toys and presents? COOL!

hey pekka. I do remember the KISS homecoming...or I should say I remember when they were in Cadillac. I didn't go to the concert...I was only in the 7th grade or somewhere there abouts.

Ivygal, it was quite a show -- had to minimize the fireworks element to avoid torching the gymnasium stage curtains, and Gene put the blood on hold, but quite a scene for a H.S. Not to mention the parade through town. Caberfae still have X-C ski trails? Used to be the only one on them some days back in the early times of the sport.

Hey, MMers, I might be in the A-Squared/Motor City area as early as Jan. 3/4 weekend.

Well, then we have to keep saying "ooonga boonga snow snow snow" or something like that.

Or, we can sing the Heikki Lunta song.

I liked the comment above about protecting our "homes and families". That makes TT'ers sound like some sort of pestilence. Pretty good description now that I think of it.

smiley, someone around here must have been singing...we've been getting wet snow all day and it's supposed to continue until Wednesday afternoon. The Yoop is getting it too, though maybe not as much. Altogether now, sing "Heikki Lunta Snowdance Song .. Hey!"

pekka..yep, caberfae still has their x-c trails. I've never used them though. I'm still in the "rental" stage of that activity and have used the trails at the cadillac pathways...closer to home for this newbie.

You know most of us. Ltwt, Birch, Sass, Tarabull, laqtis, wolfeyes, smiley girl, reformed lurker, hopefully lesubtil, nigal for a day or so. We're all here. As I said, it's THE place to be.

Ewker, could you please confirm that itinerary.

yam

it looks good to me, except I want the all of MM ladies to go to the strip club also, like laqtis wife will let him go....lol

I may never go back home :)
Ewker

dhutch, if I bake you have to do the dishes. I can think of a few things we can do with the left over chocolate ;)

12/10/03

Ewker - I told the MMers I'd be up for strip club hopping.

You don't know Q's wife (K). She's cool as he!!. I doubt she'd stop him from hitting the strip.
tarabull

Knew you would be Tbull!
dhutch1

12/10/03

chit, she'll get me some one's from the bank on the way home. I'd invite her, but someone has to watch the kids...heheheeee

We'll pregame over here, then make the rounds. Looks like Centerfolds might be the place to be. 8 mile has a veritable bevy of boobs clubs!
laqtis

Ewker experiences 8 Mile. I LOVE IT!!!!
dhutch1

tarabull

Hey Dhutch. Keep me posted if ya do dinner at the SL Inn. I've been there before and enjoyed it. I can be there in 35 minutes or so.
tarabull

12/10/03

SL Hotel one of the workday nights? What's best for you Tara? I love that place, except they took the pool tables out!

Probably not going to make the strip club outing. I'm busy that night.
dhutch1
6:46:58 PM
12/10/03

"that" night? lol...

I'm game for either Monday or Tuesday (or Sunday night if GV is planned for Monday) for dinner in SL. Last time I was there, I went cause a boy I liked was gonna be there. lol
tarabull
6:51:54 PM
12/10/03

There's lots of boys there Tara. Just not all the kind you'd want to make eye contact with. Most people in this town are very friendly still.

We can firm up the date at the party.
dhutch1
6:57:25 PM
12/10/03

OK. No eye contact. Got it.

I do recall that everyone I met that time was very nice.

Maybe Bobby will be there.(yup, that was his name, lol)
