A handsome trio.

And congrats on the anniversary!

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I'm not sure I've ever seen Doug not smile :)

Congrats, bob! Surviving 40 years of sound pan beatings is an impressive achievement.  :)

We really had a blast. Doug and his wife are great company and we were just sorry that they could not stay longer. Huw braved the hazards of travelling by rail and arrived in one piece - more-or-less. The whole weekend was a very special one that will remain with us for ever, and made more special by the great people who shared it with us.

Also, a big 'thank you' to you guys for your good wishes.

Doug will verify that not one single pan was harmed during the weekend.

Did your 'stache cop a feel? 
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Is that some kind of scientific notation for 40?


Glad a good time was had by all, bob.  I'm happy for you and Den that the turnout was good, the company was better and the people being celebrated were the best :)

It's true. At one point I even offered to go out and get Denise a new pan so she could give Bawb a good tuning up, just in case she'd broken the old one and needed a replacement, but she just smiled quietly to herself.

Of course, she had recruited a small army of Scots for the weekend to act as enforcers. I think even the 'stache was intimidated.


It's a testament to what a good time it was that there was an unopened wargame and several large tables in the room and at no point did any of us even begin to open it and set it up. I did however catch Huw at one point drawing hexes on the table in spilled beer at one point.
