    We'll have to arrange this next time I'm back home (which is Cape Cod, so even if I'm not flying into Logan, I always try to make it up to Boston at least once...)

    Apparently he got shot of that one. Can't say I blame him. She was off her head, to say noting of the tombstone teeth.

    You didn't turn it down though did ya?;) Frankly I think my fruitless search for an open pizza place and forcing you to eat my freezer leftovers was a much greater crime. :bailey:

    I've met a few.

    There's a few more I'd like to meet. I changed jobs and my travels to the United States haven't been as frequent the last few years. Usually when I'm in the States now I'm down in Las Vegas... and I don't think there are a lot of WFers there...

    :doh: Last time it was Nautica. Something about St. Louis I guess. ;)

    Although this has to be the ultimate in being Wordforged. Even when you make a list, you didn't make the list. ;)

    I can't imagine bars accept things like that? I assume he brought them figuring one of you would pay for them in return for the certificates?

    Wow...that has to be one of the rudest, most classless moves I've ever heard of. :shock:

    Ahem...

    Yeah I've met the ginger one. Even entrusted him with the safety of my wife and daughter as he drove. Heck we even plunked my daughter about going to the beach.

    I've met with Anc, moocey, hodge, ShootER, Mike, and a few others. However out of respect for their privacy I'll let them be the ones to say so. I'm a fairly open book.

    I talked to @Shakes on the phone once or twice, and one of those conversations was about Ancalagon if I recall (we had different ways to pronounce his name).

    I think @marathon is still physically closest, unless it's @Captain X. Thought I might be going to Denver for work at the end of August, but it looks like that isn't happening.

    Yup, me and Chup covered his tab. I didn't take the tokens, but I think Chup did. You know lawyers. Money is money. Probably ran to Forbidden Planet with them the next day.

    You most likely didn't. I had a bit to drink. But I'm almost certain I saw you grabbing podgers ass.
