From Judy Ghirardelli (ghirarde@wam.umd.edu):
Hi all. We in DC had our 10th (I think) DFS today. Much fun was had by all, and there was much rejoicing. We talked about many things, such as Bill Garrett, Dylan, Novak, and a little about Jordan. THose attending were: Me Hawk Mike MPS Joe Shaw Chad Oilcan Ba'alzamon Brian the pasta-boy Josh David and Rick (Josh's friends) Brad the puppy bro We ate at the Tequila Grill, where they have wooden statues of horses. We debated which one was Bela. A word about the food: Actually two words: ... Insanity Sauce. Whew! Brian, Chad, Josh and I all tried the insanity sauce, in varying doses. The odd thing was, when they brought us our food, they came up to Chad, and asked him specifically "Would you like to try a really hot sauce?" THere must be something about Chad that makes people assume he likes to live on the edge. Chad, being Chad, said "sure, why not?" I think Josh got the most Insanity Sauce. This stuff has hot pepper extract in it. There is awarning on the label to use in small drops... Josh turned beat red, had tears running down his face. I felt like my tongue was on fire. They could torture people with this stuff! I've never tasted anything so hot in my life. Thank the Light for the sour cream, which helped. Chad counteracted his with lots of beer, although not $37 worth. We did comment that if he had enough of that sauce, he could easily take the $37 title. We decided that Insanity sauce = balefire in a bottle. Not only could I not taste anything after the Insanity sauce, I can't remember tasting anything ever before ... (Did anyone notive I left my Insanity duck there? I hope one of you picked it up, and enjoyed or will enjoy the leftover smoked salmon quesidillas (sp?)) We discussed Pulp Fiction at length, and some other movies. Robert Altman movies (I'm never renting another one), Star Trek/generations stuff, MST, etc etc. Mike has seen the Brady Bunch movie, and was trying to convince us it was worthwhile. I worry about him. I can't recall what else we talked about. No doubt a side effect of the Insanity Sauce. Some good out of context quotes: Chad: "*My* calculator is bigger than *yours*" Mike: "As long as I don't get stuck doing Brad" Brian: "Is Novak's calculator programmable?" Judy: "Novak's calculator does *laundry*" Brad ate Piglet. Hawk: "You're a Very Small Forsaken; but you're NOT a Very Thin Forsaken" (this is nothing as insulting as it sounds...) Hawk: "*women* are frightening" (Still have not figured this one out, even *in* context) Chad said "Bill is a fantastically self-absorbed person". When I laughed and said I was going to post that, he maintained that he was referring to Shatner, not Garrett. We then discussed whether Garrett was a fantastically self-absorbed person, and would he really care if we said so on the 'net. We decided he is not, and even if he was, he would not care if we said so... One of Josh's friends fell asleep. Yup the first person ever to fall asleep at one of our socials... (does this make it a sleepover?) Josh explained that he had been working all night. At one point, someone said "Now that he's asleep - who is he?" We laughed, he woke up. It was a special moment. Brian said, while flailing his arms about, which I don't really understand, "What... what... what... *IS* Novak?" Chad retorted "metaphysically speaking?" Josh said, much to our horror and his embarrassment when I wrote it down to be posted, "Marcia Brady is really cute now". Mike said "We've made some virgins do some strange things" (this was regarding Rocky Horror Picture Show virgins, before you all get on my case about this being a family newsgroup....) I decided I preferred the word "sexiflexual" to "flexisexual" And the best, IMO, quote of the day came from Josh, who came out of a little dream he must have been having at the table, and said "huh?" while looking very Kathy Irelandish (dull and confused). We said "where've *you* been?" He replied "I'm concentrating on chewing my gum right now". At which point Chad asked him if he wanted some more Insanity sauce... Much fun was had by all... I'm sure I'm leaving something off, and if so, I'm sure Bill Garrett will followup and enlighten you all.. Judy G.
