So, yeah, Kayla. Loaded on, uh... "Cake."*

And I'm throwing my vote in for it to stay in St. Louis, though really, it's not like it matters what anybody says since the Woot staff get all the say in the matter that matters, anyway.

*More like, uh... "Gin."



well you know, after so many drinks, alcohol and cake tastes the same, esp come morning :-P

Yeah, but the slinger* from Courtesy Diner at 3AM most definitely changes the morning-after taste.

*For the uninformed, the slinger is a late-night St. Louis delicacy composed of hash browns, a hamburger patty, two eggs (as you like 'em), chili, cheese, and onions. It's best enjoyed after 2AM or on a hungover mo(u)rning. For best results, add ketchup and hot sauce.

What are you talking about? Ketchup and Hot Sauce have never brought about the "best results" at Courtesy. Perhaps "Tolerable" at Eat Rite and "necessary" at the Buttery.

yay taco

I keep chanting to myself "Next year!" I knew I should've taken the train down to DC to ride with ansharp and the others!

Great pics, thanks for ID-ing some of the folks.

I'm a New Englander, so I vote East Coast. Boston is really pretty in the summer!

& the Gaggle of Girls; so many shirts, so little space in the dresser!

Oh no. I was married two years in 79.
I'm old enough to be Toon's parent.
They do look a tad older than I was then.

Jason! This is a lovely picture. They both look so happy. I don't understand the American Idol reference...can you explain?

And, Attila...if the party is on the East Coast. Be sure to pick me up along with Mia3mom. (She and I have already talked via PM...if it's on the East Coast...we're there...and we're taking Patchitect too!)

His sister auditioned for American Idol last season, and made it far enough to be on TV (in a pleasant light!) which is saying something, considering how many people audition.

I don't know whether to tell you to f-off, or laugh because you use an archaic (and extremely overrated) game console as your screen name, effectively betraying your attempt to seem cool.
I'll just tell you to f-off

I think there's an "archaic valley" where on one side it's cool, but as you get closer to the modern era it's not cool anymore. For example: that rotary phone Daddy Warbucks has in his car is awesome while that free phone you got for signing up for cell service a mere three years ago is old and busted.
