Well, I'm going to have fun no matter who goes, where we are or who makes what for any meal.

And, as god as my witness, I will not be eaten by a mountain lion.

No, you won't. But, I can't guarantee you won't be mauled by a bear.

I think I should take this picture, cut it out and project the shadow in the side of GC's tent in the middle of the night. Thurston can probably muster some good grumbles for sound effects.

This could be fun!

Ghost Stories this time! With requisite flashlite face effect.

Gemini Cricket · 03-12-2008, 06:59 PM

Oh, I can tell a ghost story. Oh yes, I can. Mark my words. I can.

MouseWife · 03-12-2008, 07:15 PM

Aw man, you guys are gonna tell ghost stories???????

I haven't had a real good night of ghost stories since I was about 12.

Damnt it.

Well, I won't even say how many years it's been since but it has been a while.

But we must decide which stories in advance, and who will be telling them in what order.

So ... did i miss the decree that meal teams must pitch their tents on the same site?

That wasn't the case last year and it turned out just fine. Perhaps others did it for some sense of one-mealtime cohesion, but I simply picked my favorite available site when I arrived, and pitched my tent.

It just so happens my teammates made camp in an adjoining site, but that was complete coincidence. For the sake a preparing one meal together, I don't think we need a guideline that meal teams should occupy the same site. Let tentmates pick out the site they like out of what's available when they arrive.

If a personal preference is to be near your meal-mates, so be it. You might also have a preference to camp far from the loudest snorers, or far from (or near to) the loudest copulators.

Disneyphile was right in that nothing needs beyond personal planning except one single meal. Personally, I don't think it goes as far as Not Afraid's declaration that there's nothing to discuss. This thread is here, so we might as well use it to chat, i.e., discuss.

But I hope we can do it without ruffling feathers. Meal teams are not like Dodge Ball Teams, and I hate to think people are feeling hurt for not being "picked." As it happens, we have only five teams for what will really be six meals together, so I don't think further team consolidation is the best way to go. But whatever.

Dinner on Sunday can, like breakfast on Monday, be a mish-mash of everything left-over.

And if two people are, perhaps unfairly, left to create a meal all by their lonesome ... they can treat everyone to a classic breakfast of cereal and milk!

There ... I'm talking about meals. It's happy pappy fun. FOOD! Yay!

That was me. I understood since both of you don't cook and I might/ might not be there on Thurs and Friday is up in the air that Saturday would be the day. I understood that no one really cared what we did. We can do Friday but there is a slim chance I might not be there to cook it.

innerSpaceman · 03-12-2008, 08:21 PM

oh, then we should switch back to Saturday. I just didn't want to go an extra day counting on the odds that a bunch of those eggs wouldn't break.

Oh, but I'd have thought Gemini Cricket would have mentioned that he can't eat eggs when we were talking about stealing Alex's last year idea for a design-your-own-omelette bar.

Maybe we should reconsider everything.

We have to tell stories about Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore?

Is someone bringing clay and a potter's wheel?
