KiwiJ,

You were there as well??? Man this is bad. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I hope you still have WAT and I on your calender. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I know with Pep there and 2L that the get together was a riot.

How have you been? I have seen you around these parts much. I hope you and H are doing well and life is great for both of you.

God Bless,

JL

I thought it was really neat that you called, Kiwi!

I'm sure Pep will have *much* more to say, once she returns from her date. Hopefully she can find the manual and figure out that camera of hers so she can post some pix.

Thanks Was Sad Tiger, it was fun calling. I'm sorry I didn't get to talk with everyone but some of you I've been talking to for ever around here, some of you I don't know.

JL, yes, I called them. I would've given anything to be there in person. I still have you and WAT inked in for your visit here - the time will go so quickly if this year's anything to go by.

Everything is great with H and I. It's a whole new me and a whole new marriage - where would I have been without MB. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> BTW, remember my "new" job at the university. It's now my "old" job and I've never been happier at work in my life.

I gave rh and his gal a ride back 2 their hotel, stopping right in front of the guy with the white jacket and the gloves... ...in my rusty ol' 1960 VW truck! It was a hoot. After they got out, you shoulda seen just how FAST the valet guy came over 2 ask if I needed it parked!

Well done, 2! Nice iconoclash!

The record must be straightened (not the banana).

I did nothing un2ward. No bananas were harmed in the making of this film...

Orchid: Un2ward? I had to read that one about 3xs. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> You know I was just funnin' u 2L. You seemed sooo interested in that banana. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> But I bet it was the whip cream that you really liked! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Orchid: Awfully gentlemanly of you. I am sure that added to their adventure. Wonder what RH's GF thinks about MB now! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> RH, she seems like a really nice girl. I told her your were a good guy. I tried real hard to give you some extra points. Do I get any MB credits? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Believer. You woulda been okay. No axes (though I did bring chainsaws enough 2 go around!).

ok, maybe WST isn't a completely ruinted Texan, but do y'all imagine he can get back into Billy Bob's if they knew he wore a tiara out in the land of fruits and nuts??? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Get a dayum grip on yerself Mel!

We was only havin' som-fun ... sheesh!

I had no idea WST was gonna be there.

I arrived about 15 minutes before 4. (that's 3:45 for 2Long) ... and I had about 10 leis around my neck, as well as a sparkley tiara on my lovely smooth flat hair. I was trying to STAND OUT so as to be recognized by complete strangers! (what a concept!)

Almost immediately, a strange man comes up to me ( truthfully, he is not that strange, even tho he is from ~you know where~ ) .... and he says "Pepperband" ... and I'm thinking "Huh?" ... I am not accustomed to strangers saying to me "Pepperband" ... I was rocked backwards on my heels for a second. PLUS ... I knew he was not RedHat nor 2Long ... and as far as I knew, they were the only 2 men who were scheduled to arrive !!! here he was folks, THE AX MURDERER !!!

I knew there was going to be an ax murderer there! Sorry I did'nt make it - sounds like it was fun. On the train, I figured that while you can get there from here, you can't get back - at least not on Saturday night.

But someone called here and spoke Spanish to my roommate. Does Pep speak Spanish?

Hi! Sorry about the train. I coulda dropped you off (in my truck) at one of the goldline stations near my house, but that wouldn't have helped with the leg between Union and SD.

Wasn't me who called your roomate. I've never even BEEN 2 Spain! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

THE AX MURDERER then sez to me "I'm was sad tiger" ... now I am even more perplexed ... thinking 'g-r-e-a-t .... some delusional man is speaking to me because of my tiara and he imagines himself to be a sad tiger'

This lasted a few seconds ... and then he said his real name and something about 'MB' and 'crashing the party' ... and then ... he got leied! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

So WST and I went in and sat down to enjoy the minor discomfort of knowing-and-not-knowing someone for the first time ... and in walks a lady that fits the description of BELIEVER ! She takes one look at me with all this foolishness I am wearing and immediately goes outside to sit on a bench alone.

I stand up and stare at her through the window. She sees me and gestures to herself and then gestures to me ... and I nod ... and she comes back in.

I go up to her and say "aloha" and place a lei around her neck and give each of her cheeks a Hollywood 'air kiss' and we start to talk.

I say 'Are you Believer?' ... "I'm Pepperband"...

she looks at me kinda funny and hugs me

... turns out ... this was pseudo-BELIEVER ... and possibly the real ax murderer <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Pseudo-B was meeting a woman about my age who she had not seen since HIGH SCHOOL ... and to her credit ... she did not run in terror when she realized a completely foolish strange woman named "pepperband" for gawds sake, had leid her and air-kissed her!

... I thought this might be the highlight for WST! LOL
