And all along I was thinking our love of guns was what was keeping people out.

Obviously it hasn't been working very well with our "neighbors to the south" eh? :roll:

Ok, on the way to BadMike's today I stopped and picked up 2 extra clips for the .50 cal Desert Eagle, just in case Mike wouldn't voluntarily relinquish the JG thong...

I was able to confiscate the thong with no violence...

No need to worry about BadMike in a JG thong for this event.

Someone should bring a videocam to SectorWhisp's party and film it for YouTube.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

Gotcha. So this is still in the DFW area, right??

Arlington is just south of the DFW airport so it is right smack dab in between Dallas and Ft. Worth.

Ok, for those that have spoken up, I got you covered on food, beer & margaritas....

If you are going to be here Saturday, let me know so I get a god head count..

So far I have 2 and 2 maybes, plus there will be 2 - 3 others that are not members here.

I will be there on Saturday, no wife though. She will be visiting her folks.
I seldom drink beer, though on occasion I have done so.
I can eat gobs of food however.
I wont drink beer/margaritas that day since I will be driving and besides, I MIGHT have a grandchild or three with me. (They live down the road in Duncanville).

For them, myself, and anyone else that wants, I will bring along a couple of cases of cokes.
A couple of bags of chips too, along with some..... :twisted:

.... mild dipping sauce........... :twisted:

I know the first post stated 800-1600, but......What time is appropriate?

Then I'll bring my wife. Give them both something to do while we absolutely destroy some magaritas and chips.....

Plus then I have a ride home.

Doug did you get the Aidells weiners you had last time????? I loved those things! I think I had about half a dozen.....

serlerans love the BBQ. Too bad we no longer live anywhere near Texas, though when we did, it was much too far north to be close to Dallas / Fort Worth. Besides, who in their right mind wants to fly into that airport? I've been there -- it's worse than O'Hare or anywhere.

Oh, and Al... come on into Buffalo. We'll have a little jaunt to Crazy Egor's and then a grill'er.

It's got to be cheaper flying into New York from the UK. I mean, there's just a little pond to skip over.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

Really? DFW Airport isnt easy to navigate....I'll give you that. But I have had worse experiences. Orlando, Los Angeles, Boston....just to name a few. The one thing I hate about DFW is the baggage claim system....totally screwed up. If you have to fly to Dallas, try to get a flight on Southwest and fly into Love Field....much easier.

Doug did you get the Aidells weiners you had last time????? I loved those things! I think I had about half a dozen.....

Which flavor were they? I have had the chicken and apple, the roasted pepper and corn, and their habanero green chile sausages. The chicken and apple are really good.
