Re: Been there, done that.
It goes without saying that such a situation would never, ever happen to majroj - but I'll bet it changed your view of a certain biker lady. Personally, if I was into tattoos, mine would be Triumph Tiger 110.

Re: Been there, done that.
Uh, not that I ever was in that particular sort of incident personally...

Been there, done that.
Sort of like meeting the nice lady at the formal wedding party and, when you two meet for supper one afternoon, her two sloppy Rotttweiler's meet you at the door.
And her short sleeve blouse exhibits her Harley Davidson tattoos.

Re: John
Believe me Krisles, I certainly appreciate Ell and the way she takes care of me. As for the day - it was a complete washout. The storm began an hour after I arrived. But I learned me lesson, believe me.

I love it, Taps. That will be my answer if I ever get another invite. The ironic part is that I spend a lot of time defending my pool playing because pool halls have a bad reputation. I play against, and with many erudite people, but I chose the wrong opponent to party with.

Well, you certainly did learn a lot about the lout!!! And you should be appreciating Ell for taking such good care of you...the invite did say bring lunch and she was just making sure you didn't end up feeling really silly (or really drunk) by being the only one who didn't show with the requisite lunch...not her fault some idiot can't get a simple invite right!! And, what an oaf, giing you shit about what kind of beer you brought!!! Especially after he screwed up the invite!! Well.....I hope you were the BBQ was decent and you enjoyed some part of the day? If not, lesson learned..right?

Re: johnmacnab
I'm afraid I wouldn't have had nearly that much trouble. It's so easy to send regrets. Any old excuse will do:
TAPS' takeoff from the Cole Porter lyrics of Miss Otis Regrets:
Miss TAPS regrets she's unable to party today, madam,
Miss TAPS regrets she's unable to play today, gents.
She is sorry to be delayed
but last evening in a sick bed I'm afraid, madam,
Miss TAPS lay, and is unable to party today.
When she woke up and found her toothache still hurting today, madam,
the nerve sending pain, pills could not allay, gents,
She was told the tooth should be pulled
"But I despise dentist visits!" she puled, madam.
Miss TAPS regrets she's unable to party today.
Miss TAPS regrets she's unable to party today, madam,
Miss TAPS regrets she's unable to show today, gents.
She is sorry to be such a wuss
but when pain assails, puts up a fuss, madam.
Miss TAPS regrets she's unable to party today.

Apparently I should have taken Guiness - as if they could have drunk the stuff without collapsing after half a pint!! I got the social graces hammered into me - it wasn't just a case of which side of the saucer to drink from so much as educating me on the uses of saucers.

That was definitely not my day for winning sam444. When I was considering murder by lunch bag I was thinking of Ell, not Chuck - still, a case could be made for both of them.

I lack social graces. Really do. Learned brutal honesty from Mom
and never quite got the impulse to blurt under control. But American beer? Why not a few cans of Fosters and get the rumble started.

I think you could work out a self defense bid since he first attempted to kill you with cigar smoke! lol How funny on the mix up of the note! But your wife is precious, she had your best intentions in mind! And, on the brew, damned if you do and damned if you don't! sam
