Not that there's anything wrong with green. Green is a lovely color. I was merely referring to the particular color of lime Jello. Orange is another difficult one. I think most of us would look just fine in red jello or peach. So, yes, depending on the flavor, count me in.

Opppp .... guess I'd have to be going to the Getaway, hey? Welp, maybe next year. But there's always Winfield ...

Alison, see - he thinks this will never happen because you won't be there, unless he knows something we don't. If you show up...

Mick, I have a couple of pictures of you sleeping from last year. Unfortunately, you had clothes on.

He went down last October with a blanket on his face
We wanted him to hang with us, but he couldn't take the pace
Too close to Big Mick's bedtime, and he had to pack it in
Though we kept on calling "Big Mick, rise again
Rise again, rise again
Get off your sorry ass, and come sing with your friends!"
And though we sang and talked and laughed
He slept on through the din
We never got Big Mick to rise again.

Interesting idea, Micca, but I think I'll just look like a complete pillock if I wear your Matadore's hat.

Many years ago, my boyfriend at the time took a trip to Norway and brought back a knitted hat for me with a pom-pom that was almost bigger than the hat. He acted really hurt that I didn't want to wear it.

Knowing him as I did, I told him I thought he just wanted me to wear it so he could have a good laugh at my expense. He admitted it was true. You wouldn't be trying to do anything like that, would you?
