What I don't get is why Laissez-Fairies don't just laiss? There's no need to get involved if you don't want to. Certainly not with anything other than the very small group of people you'd be preparing one single meal with.
We didn't even have to make the decision to do meal teams. It was something we liked from last year, and so it was a given without any decisions at all.
The decisions of where to go and when were a drag at times, and could not be made by a recommendation committee. We wanted to take into account the schedules of as many as possible, and so we conducted a vote. As it turned out, only two solid options of date and location were even presented, so the vote was as easy breezy as could be.
€uro was right that there really need nothing be done by those who want to do nuthin' but show up with your stuff. And the only plan needed is to arrange a single meal with 3 other people.
If other people want to plan what teams they are on, when to arrive, what stuff to make for dinner .... the fact that such discussion goes on in broad daylight where others can read it should not intimidate others into thinking there's too much planning for their tastes. Reading other people's plans is
not planning.
Let's all relax. Laissez-faire means, in large part, let be what will be. So just let those who want to make plans make them. And those who don't want to simply should not.
There's no stress, no mess. It's all in the imagination. Now, stand back, 'cause I'm about to make some planning ...
Morrigoon: seeing as Mark may have dropped out (waaaaaa!), it's looking more and more like Rum Gone and Discovery Channel should join forces. The fates are looking kindly to this union ... look at it this way: Gemini Cricket and I were two people who did not witness the Morrigoon Melt-Down at last year's Swank Camp, so we have no prejudice.
And who could be more suited for a Big & Girthy Weenie Roast but me?!
