SANE meeting WED 25 May

I failed to report on the previous meeting, which was quite productive, and nearly everybody padded out of the meeting on March's duct-tape slippers carrying a spice-box wire thingus, or similar. Did we take photos and document them in tableaus? No, we didn't. It was left to each SANEster to tablize and photog their creations and send same to me, and the lack of illustrations below represents the dearth of offerings I received. Even I didn't tab&phot my own li'l skiing Advair diskus, because I am such a lazy slug.

Flip brang a DVD of Hank the Cave Peanut, an animated movie made in caveman days, about Hank's coming of age and leading the hunt for a wild fork (of course), which was very entertaining, but we ultimately decided that we didn't have time during the next meeting to create a sequel. They we went webwards to watch Marcel the Shell with Shoes On. Sample dialog: "Guess what I wear as a hat. A lentil." "Guess what I use to tie my skis to my car. A hair. Guess what my skis are. Toenals from a man." "My one regret in life is that I'll never have a dog. But sometimes I tie a hair to a piece of lint and I drag it around." Okay, it's better when you hear the lines spoken by Marcel.

But we did decide the date of the next SANE meeting and it is NOT TODAY (and in fact is not even on a Tuesday), but is on Wednesday, 25 May, 2011. We don't yet know where we'll meet or what we're doing, but that never held us back before...

Wait a minute, we may have decided to make marbledy paper... Does someone with a functioning brain actually remember? And if so, is there a list of ingreediments for us to brang? And we may have decided upon a host for the event, tho I suspect it ain't me. Please someone give me a big eSlap and fill me in on what I failed to write down.

Can a doldrum be singular? Kudos is apparently singular as well as plural, in case you ever wanted to give someone a single kudos. If you just didn't say single, you could mean one kudos but let them believe you were giving them several. Kind of a win-win, really.

Also decided was the date of the 2011LobstahClamstahFeast, and that date is Saturday 30 July (with a scheduled but hopefully never needed rain date of Sunnyday 31 July). Please, nobody warn the Lobstahs or the Clamstahs. Betsey, however, has been warned.

If you have another project suggestion, please float it publicly, and we'll all jump down your throat for being brave enough for suggesting something. We could always play poker or go out collecting for Unicef. Or drink heavily. Perhaps all three (in reverse order)!
