Yep it should be a fun night. If y'all are like this already, I can't wait to see how you are after the "experiments"

Nils-boy, with the constant criticism from my ex, I really don't need you microscoping me for mistakes. I be human, fallible, and I do make mistakes, which I admit in advance. I've long given up on attaining perfection in this life.

Hey, how 'bout a movie night? Speaking of which, gimme some advice: my daughter suggested I rent "Alfie". I haven't heard of it. What is the opinion of our Austin movie guy?

BTW, have you craved mindless entertainment enough to go see "Sahara" yet? I just had a revelation: some people have tried a loose comparison of "Sahara" to an Indiana Jones movie. Sorry, not up to Indy. BUT, I just thought of what it could be compared to: "Romanacing the Stone". Closer than Indy anyway.
If you and Linda need experienced babysitting so you can catch a movie, I think that between me, Jessica and Taylor, we might be able to handle your two short people.

Well, after sending out directions yesterday, I had a cancellation and my waiting list has dried up, so there is still one spot at the table open for the 13th. Send me an email if you can make it.

Scott,

I am really looking forward to the game next week. That whole weekend I am "home alone", and will enjoy some quality time with the boys & sharing in your masterful bartending skills.

Speaking of which, perhaps we can try and make a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster?

(or maybe that would be better suited for the THGTTG screening the following week?)

If you can locate the ingredients, I will mix it!

Mark? Who's that???

Hmmm... looking around for my bottle of Ol' Janx Spirit.

Looking at the recipe this could be a tough challenge:
  • Take the juice from one bottle of that Ol' Janx Spirit.
  • Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V.
  • Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-Gin to melt into the mixture.
    (it must be properly iced or the benzene is lost)
  • Allow four litres of Fallian Marsh Gas to bubble through it.
  • Over the back of a silver spoon float a measure of Qalactin Hypermint extract.
  • Drop in the tooth of an Algolian Suntiger.
  • Top with a sprinkle of crushed Zamphuor.
  • Add an olive.
  • Drink... CAREFULLY!
Here is what THGTTG says about the ever popular Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster:

"The effect of a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick."

Fortunately the Guide also tells you on which planets the best Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters are mixed, how much you can expect to pay for one and what voluntary organizations exist to help you rehabilitate afterwards.

I hope not. Me and DaMissus are heading out right now to grab a bite and drop off the kiddos.
