To reassure you all that I have long since gotten over my fear of internet people, I once shared a hotel room with 4 women I'd only just met (because my host's child got sick and thus it didn't seem a good idea for me to stay at her house) and had talked to online maybe a little but with no firm memory of it. Now 2 of those women are my very close friends.

KristinT, thanks for the offer. Transportation is a question. Is amych going? amych? are you going? Could I bum a ride? I'll hold fencing equipment. I can't fight in any bouts though - I take that back - I can fight, I just can't win.

Pssst! Lee! At least you aren't a complete stranger who invited her to share a room with you.

The really funny part, Kristin, is that you're not even close to the first Buffista to do this.

Extreme Bungee Teabagging!

Does your teabag hang low
Does it bounce down and show
Does it fly into your face
And cause you much disgrace
Does it wobble when you walk
Tripping people as they talk
Does your teabag bungee jump
Among the sugar lumps?

It's a good thing I didn't order the micro-mini-kilt.

You mean like inviting people from England, Israel, or even worse, Kentucky that you have never met to come stay in your apartment, or maybe inviting people you've met once to come stay with you in a cabin on an island in a remote part of Maine?

You met me more than once!

I think you too more of a risk inviting me than you did the others.

Well, yeah, but I wasn't going to go there .

Hey, I'm even taking you out to the theatre tomorrow night!

Yep. Assuming I ever get to leave work.

Hee! Yep.

This seems highly unlikely, at this point.
