So, pseudo-B-ax-murderess sits in the 'holding area' with WST and I to laff about the mix-up. Pseudo-B was plotting how to snatch my tiara ... I could tell she was jealous! But, as it turns out later in the story ... it was ~actually~ WST who coveted my sparkley tiara! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Enter a fabulous woman with 2 chitlens ... and taking one look at the 3 of us ~Pep, WST, and pseudoB-ax-murderess~ she immediately recognized friendly crazy people ... this time, there was no mistaking FaithfulFollower. How funny is it to hear people say "Hi, let me introduce myself. I'm Pepperband, this is Was Sad Tiger, and this is NOT Believer, but an ax murderess looking for her high school friend" ... "You must be FaithfulFollower?" I believe it was at this juncture ... pseudo-Believer-ax-murderess decided to go sit somewhere else. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

2-long - The last train leaves Union station at 6:35. So next time, I know I need to get a room for the night.
It sounds like it was fun.

Sitting waiting for our table to be ready, FF and her adorable children ... all got lei'd .... and air-kissed, as is the custom at Bob's Big Boy. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Truthfully, this is the moment of truth I think ... sort-of the unveiling of the cloak of internet privacy ...
I know you see me as the MB pep ... but this is the real life Pep ...
and the real life FF ... and the real life WST ... and there we were checking each other out ... trying to reconcile our MB impression to the real thing.
An interesting few minutes.

To smooth over the moments of uncomfortable first impressions ... I gave FF's DD a 'Mad libs' book ... and we played that game for awhile.
Turns out, WST is very good at mad libs ... he made word choices that were unbelievably appropriate and hilariously funny when the story is read back.
I think FF's kids held up remarkaqbly well, considering this was a bunch of adults talking in MB-speak-code and she had nothing to do but wish she were somewhere else with her friends.
I think FF's DS was entertained by the lights, the noise and the laughter.
We got called to our table.

Bellevue was next to arrive. She is drop-dead-gorgeous .... sans hot rollers! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Believer, Bellevue is the one who spoke to your room mate .... my Spanish is fluent in restaurants and semi-fluent when asking where is the pain ... but woefully inadequate when it comes to asking "Donde esta Believer?' ...
Bellevue is very lady-like, very pretty, and has a feminine softness about her. She exudes peacefullness from her being.
She got lei'd, naturally.
I can't remember who was next ... ?
Either Nerlycrazy or 2Long....
someone help me out!

I think 2Long was next to arrive.
He needs no introduction. He truely does stand out in a crowd and does not require any dayum tiara on his head to be recognized!
and that's the truth!
Bellevue lei'd 2Long.
The energy 2Long brings is amazing ... he's a strange mix of humbleness and casualness ~~ and a mind so sharp it shines. Scientists make interesting humans. They think about ordinary life with scientific precision.
Fascinating.

OMG,
Pep - this EXCEEDS my expectations!!! This has the zaniness as in zany-ness of the old Barbara Streisand movie "What's Up Doc!"
You tell such a good story - we don't need pictures. The poor woman who was waiting for her old friend...her impressions I will laugh about all day. You make a fine hostess - leis, tiara, and "Mad-Lib", my boys favorite game; you throw a heck of a party!
How on earth can the Texans possibly top this?
I can't stop...the timing of the events is priceless - to first have a surpise guest WST, then the axe murderer B; then have the expected guests show up is hilarious! It wouldnt' have been the same if the people you already knew showed up first followed by WST and the AM #B...it's really priceless!

Pep, is THE best hostess, btw. My kids had fun even amongst the strange adults. My DD sat with Pep and I think she just loved that crazy lady.

So, as I was saying.... I was seated at the back of the restaurant facing in the direction where anyone joining us would be visable to me first. And, every dayum woman over 50 who walked in our direction, I made my special 'smiley-face' as in ---> 'I only look weird, I don't really want to hack you to pieces with my little ax' ... and I made my friendly-harmless smiley face , over, and over, and over (in vain) ... and I do wonder what these non-BELIEVERS must have thought of THAT! Then, comes a woman who I do not recognize ... and she is headed straight my way. And she looks nothing if not DETERMINED to address our table ... and I am thinking ??? 'Is this Believer? She looks nothing like her photo.'This woman comes over and sez... "I am NerlyCrazy" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Holy crap ! Now this is the ax murderer ... coz Nerly was on the "penciled in" list and NEVER confirmed !!!!

Introductons all around. Inward *sigh* of relief on my part.... she is MB Nerly and NOT ax-murderer-nerly-crazy ... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Nerly has an amazingly contageous laff. low and throaty ... and 2Long has it on his cell phone, coz I called him from my cell phone ... and Nerly, WST and Pep left him a voice mail ... and it wasn't until 2Long regained consciousness (sugar high) he said ... "There's a voice mail from you?"
Nerly has dignity and presence ... and the laff I remember the most.
