A proper Y2K toast would consist of a nice juicy rib-eye, sirloin, or other beef dinner. Bring along a pair of souvenir dice from any casino. With a piece of beef in one hand and the dice in the other, stand up and proclaim loudly:








"It's not the odds, it's the STEAKS!"

LMAO, hmmm, you ARE a crackup.

Pat your mission is as FOLLOWS:

KEEP THEM IN CHECK....I know you can do it. hee hee

-- consumer (shh@aol.com), October 13, 2000.

'sumer, I am truly humbled that you think I can keep ANYONE "in check". (Besides, who's going to keep ME "in check"?!?!)

But I'll do my best ;-)

hmm, you're another one I wish was coming.....while the participants (that I know about) all have a kick-ass sense of humor, yours will be missed. I will raise a toast to you as well -- in your very own words :-)

Pictures.....I must remember pictures.....

-- Patricia (PatriciaS@lasvegas.com), October 13, 2000.

Doc... your mission is as follows: Keep Pat in check while she 'attempts' to keep the rest in check.

Aunt Bee....your mission is as follows: Take Notes, report directly to moi.

-- consumer (shh@aol.com), October 13, 2000.

consumer,

You have fun on your trip as well! Bottoms UP!

-- (Sheeple@Greener.Pastures), October 13, 2000.

We'll sure miss ya, 'sumer, but I'll remember that you're on a cruise, enjoying yourself with the hubby.

Steaks...that sounds GREAT, Hmm.

I'm already worried about those pictures,'Sumer. I'm thinking I have some makeup around here somewhere, but can't remember where I put it. THEN, I think that if I wear some, Capnfun will throw me in a pool somewhere and the picture will have mascara dripping from my cheeks. Then again, it sounds too cool to dip in the pool, so I'm not even sure I should bring a swimsuit. Then again, it I DON'T bring a suit, and it gets warm, I'd have to swim in my clothes, or WITHOUT my clothes, and either way, there are those pictures.

We'll all have fun. I'm SURE of it. You be sure to include some new pictures to your Photopoint Album on YOUR return, 'Sumer.

If I'm not mistaken, this will be the first time that many have met. How interesting. I'm sure there will be surprises. I'm also sure there will be no disapointments. If this were a birthday, I'd proclaim my favorite birthday toast---

Here's to growing old disgracefully.

Best to all and, yes, there must be pics.

-- Lars (lars@indy.net), October 13, 2000.

Pat,

Don't forget to toast me too...and by the time ya get to the end of the list...ya aughta be stinkin' tipsy..heh!

Have fun all!

-- Peg (e-m@i.l), October 13, 2000.

Have a great time everyone! Wish I could have made it out there to be with all of you. I'll be thinking of you. Will someone be posting every night to let us know how things are going? Hope so.

I'm looking forward to the 'spring fling' on the east coast. THAT one I'll make for sure!

Post pics. Post pics. Post pics. Post pics. Post pics. Post pics.

Please POST PICS!!!!!!!!

(I can't wait to see them!)

-- Debra (Thisis@it.com), October 13, 2000.

ROFL Hmm!!!! :-D Your joke made my (spinoff) day!

Have a great time "members". I'll be laughing while eating out tonight, if I decide on the steak ;)

-- (smarty@wannabe.one), October 13, 2000.

Everyone will arrive before me. They'll all know each other, and they'll all know that I'm ME. I was kindof hoping I could introduce myself as Patricia. You're right, Lars. I've never met ANY of these folks. The weird thing [I noticed when I attended Hardliner's picnic this summer] was adjusting to calling folks by their real names.

There will be a lot of toasting. I hope Patricia has a toaster.

It's too bad that EVERYONE can't come. It seems kindof incomplete. You reminded me to bring along my niece's phone number, Debra. I'll have to add that to my bag [if I can remember where I put it.]

-- Anita (Anita_S3@hotmail.com), October 13, 2000.

If y'all are still standin' after the other toasts, do one for me, ok? Doesnt have to be much -- maybe something kinda healthy, even. Oh, say, just a shot of something like Dr. Scholls Medicated Tequila, or some such.

Also, be careful of the hotels. I mean if the sheets are warm when you check in, or the paper band on the toilet, instead of saying "sanitized for your protection," just says "good luck" or you find teeth marks in the soap, etc. please try to find another place.

Seriously, even if you guys played and lost at the tables, I know yall will turn that place into a land where dreams come true  because youve got each other.

I know your time there will be every bit as magical -- or more -- as you probably feel it will be. Take care of yourselves and if you drink too much, dont forget to give someone else the car keys  we need you back here.

Love ya,

Eve

Welcome to LV forum friends! The Cascadians have just left. We made them vanish, permanently. We need fresh meat. Who is the juiciest?

-- (Siegfried&Roy@cat.house), October 14, 2000.

Eish I was there-but having a great time in new orleans at the trade show-There is nothing I have ever seen in my life like Bourbon Street.

-- futureSHock (gray@matter.think), October 15, 2000.

Hi F.S.

You were definitely missed! But if you have to have a conflict, New Orleans is certainly a great way to do it. I worked down there on the SPR for about 6 months a number of years and dfinitely agree about Burbon Street. Did you have time to take in the Vodoo Museum? It was too spooky for me to even go in.

Best Wishes...

-- Flash (nazflash@northlink.com), October 16, 2000.

Ooohwie,

I hope he did. Imagine the 'who do your voodoo?' threads that experience might spawn from him.
