'Not Fade Away'
F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!
Last call!
Kahlua Slices!
Ok, maybe not enough time to rustle them up. I did toy with the idea of bringing some, but it would probably be beyond me to ensure everyone got a fair shake. Especially since I would wind up hoarding them in my room and none of you would see me for the whole weekend.
Kahlua Slices!
I'm intrigued. What are they?

I was intrigued as well. Apparently, they're cheesecake made with Kahlua. Which, if you are a fan of both cheesecake and Kahlua, sounds heavenly.

They're liqueur-flavoured chocolate-covered biscuits from Australia, and a piece of heaven. They have Tia Maria Tim Tams too. They were introduced about six months ago. I discovered them by accident, and for Bec's birthday I splurged on getting a packet of each sent over. The verdict: they're both good, but the Kahlua Slice is to die for.
There is a US distributor of Australian products who may start offering them in the future. I certainly hope so. But my pessimistic side thinks they may not get approved. Even in Oz there was a furore about offering alcohol flavours in such a kid-friendly parcel.

Yum.

Wellllll ... what if all the stores promise to keep them on the high shelves, so the kids can't see them? That should work. Mmmm hmmmm.

Nyuk. Works for me.
Wow. I *so* don't mean to turn this into A Thing, because you have a wedding in 2 days, which is fucking cool, but -- seriously. Being called a cow is really not nice, nor is having it followed up with a "Pffft," which to me reads as blowing off my reaction.
For the sake of clarity, let me try to show you what this conversation looks like from my perspective.
Me: "You were really a hot dog on the baseball field today."
Other person: "What? You should never call a woman a dog. It's a huge insult."
Me: "Pffft. 'Hot Dog' - nothing to with being a dog."
In brief, "Bossy Cow" has no cow associations for me other than that cows are called Bossy. It was a comment solely on you exercising your inner Dom, and I think that's pretty clear in context. From my perspective, you'd have to be looking for the insult to take that meaning away from that exchange.
However, that's not how you took it and I apologize for putting a cow anywhere near your person, or associating you in anyway with things bovine. All I intended was to affectionately tease you for the bossiness - all other cow-related collateral insult damage was unintentional (and which I regret). I "pffft"ed because I thought it was obvious that I would never insult you in the way you took it, and that I also felt very free to call you bossy.

yay marriage, senor flan. ::smooch:: have a good weekend.
If I may, dark beer request? Please? I don't know if it can be done w/ the bar, but I thought I'd ask.
By the way, I'm trying to find my list of people who said they'd show up at the early arrival party at my place. I know I have it, but in the meantime, could people who need driving directions, etc. email me at my profile addy or at "aweber AT bernan DOT com"?
Food will be served sixish, but people can feel free to arrive any time.
As a note of interest, for those who arrive really early, there are several interesting shops in walking distance of my place if you want to get in some shopping. There's a yarn shop, quilting shop, embroidery shop, and a comic book store all in one little row (these are all open until 8pm on Thursday). There's also Appalachian Bluegrass, which has all kinds of acoustic instruments, sheet music, CDs, etc. There are also three other guitar stores in town, a brand new New Age bookshop, and a used CD and DVD store.
I'm starting to get all giddy about meeting everyone in person. I just hope I don't get one of my shy-withdrawn-antisocial attacks.
On another note, is anyone interested in doing anything in Baltimore?
