Being your place on the web to make Pat feel all warm and snuggly... or just a place to type random text... ANYTHING to get those badgers, mushrooms and African snakes out of my head!

Ping Master Pat and the Crunchy Yellow Disc 

Referring to the flat, somewhat crunchy (still), yellow, EX-ping pong ball I found on my tennis table. A small price to pay for a weekend of friends and fun.

Total body count: ~75
Carpet coloration: normal wear and tear (thank goodness)
Furniture KIA: 1 footstool (we hated it anyway)
Overnight max corpse count: 12
Food intaken: in the tonnage range
Alcohol: two garbage cans full of bottles
Tentacle count: 6 large, one monstrous
Ping pong balls left: 1 out of 7 (most are MIA)
Longest stay: 53 hours (Dan)
Shortest: 1 hour (actor from IOWest)
Leftover crap: sweats, toy guns, dice, pillow (the usual)
Total sleep for me: 6 hours

That was a great weekend. I learned some new games (HexHex, Chrononauts, Xanth); learned that one empty soup bowl upstairs can bring a complete phalanx of ants; and learned that even with a PG rating, tentacle porn will out of necessity become NC-17.

Also, leftover Jambalaya ingredients make a damn fine morning-after skillet surprise (thanks to Steve... Greg, you should show up on his doorstep tomorrow morning with a bag of eggs, brocoli and cheese).
