No, that's incorrect Kevy. Possessive of a family name comes after the "s," not before.


When you carve the Rustic Wooden Hammock, please use extra care when it comes to grammar!!





OK, this just in ....

As alluded to above, the Sunday Night Big and Girthy Weenie Roast is largely (no pun intended) going to be a Bring-Your-Own-Weenie affair.

The lone surviving member of Team Where the Rum Has Gone will be supplying a starter selection of weenies, and her adopted Team Discovery Channel will be assisting with side dishes, etc.

BUT ... Exotic Sausages, Romantic Weenies, and Big Black Bulging Dicks are strictly B.Y.O.



Sorry, but 4 teams to cover 8 group meals is not going to work. We have declared Thursday dinner a do-it-yourself and Monday breakfast a leftover extravaganza ... but that still leaves 6 meals for 4 teams.

SO ... Team Discovery Channel will organize the Weenie Roast and get things started with the first round of weenies ... but the meal will be brief and unsatisfying unless other weenies are produced. I understand that Kevy's going to be a little shy in this department this year ... and that leaves it to the rest of us to pick up the slack!

I was assuming (as noted in my post) that the family name was "Hollmer" (no "s" at the end). The possessive of this family (as a collective: no plural) would be Hollmer's.

If the family name was indeed "Hollmers" the possessive of the name could go either way: Hollmers' or Hollmers's (although I prefer the former). We had a discussion on this issue in a previous thread.

Why not - I think the math is pretty simple: 8 / 4 = 2. Each team would be responsible for two meals.

But it is kind of a moot point: there are seven meals listed in the Wiki (Thursday night is not listed). All meals are covered (although Monday morning does not have a team listed as covering it - it is just listed as Mish Mash).

With the natural change of things, we are at four teams. As far as I am concerned, Team Where the Rum Has Gone is not a part of the picture any more. Team Discovery Channel is made up of innerSpaceman, Gemini Cricket, Morrigoon, Bornieo. Since this last team was "assembled" mainly through attrition, if there is an issue with this, then let's discuss. Since this team is covering two meals, if you would like assistance with this (financially), then let everyone know (I had previously offered to cover the cost of groceries). All that I would ask is to take responsibility for making sure the meal is covered (that is not an edict - just my request).

The only remaining question I see unanswered is Thursday night dinner: do we want to plan for this as a group activity? MOST people will be there for this meal, but since it is setup day, I doubt anyone will want to prep anything. Should we make this a do-it-yourself meal? Or does someone want to volunteer to cover this? (Again: I am willing to contribute $/groceries if people are worried about such).

DISNEYPHILE: Our team is covering Saturday night dinner (I think you and Susan already discussed this, but I am not certain). Also, I am covering Sunday breakfast (I don't mind doing it solo: I am getting good at it).

Ken and I will help with the Sunday breakfast then too - we have a HUGE box of Bisquick that needs to be used, so we'll make pancakes.
