I am really slacking...I have only met 11 of them....8 of them were at the Boca Do, TheOriginal. All 5 of the original witnesses to the "Your room at the Ramada has a safe" quote are still hanging around.

Is it time we started thinking about the Lounge DO II?

Au contraire, mon ami...
The redoubtable jfe and I shared a nice meal in Motown earlier this year.
That means I've met a grand total of, let's see.... 1 from the Lounge. Shared a few beers with another FTer in Prague though.
What shocks me is how relatively high I find myself on the list. I'm not exactly a profligate poster.

Well, now that I think of it, I also first met jfe at an event other than the ELP DO.
Actually not an "event" per se but a seedy bar in a rundown section of ELP.
And you can use the new math that Traveller invented here yesterday and say you've actually met 2 Lounge Lizards.

I feel sure that you can find a couple of other Lounge lizards/lizardettes that would say math is not one of our (ok, my) strong suits!!! They actually tried to blame my faux pas on my where I learned my 'rithmetic! (Auburn) 
In reality, it was just one of those times my brain was inherently slower than my mouth.
(Forty dollars divided by 5 isn't $5 a piece???) 
My brain was processing the FIVE FT'ers, you see, NOT the division..... So FIVE DOLLARS came out of my mouth!!

That's a great idea. I've never been to Canada. (I looked at Canada across the water, but never crossed the border.)
Of course, I'm still waiting for the Gargoyle Do announcement. I don't think either will happen in '07.

I'm still in the 50th state and not back until just before Christmas.

Today I received a two foot tall bottle of Cholula sauce. Apparently, elf Cholula helped out my FT secret santa with my first gift. (Okay, so it's just a huge Cholula sauce bottle with nothing in it.) Thank you Santa & Elf.

And on an unrelated topic, many, many thanks to the Lounge Lizards™ who supported my candidacy for TalkBoard! I will be forever grateful.
