Dinner For Six
Let’s stand still for a minute and imagine that there was a competition and you had won the first prize which is a dinner for six in a posh restaurant. It is to be a pure platonic outing and you may invite any 5 CS members to join you; all expenses – even airfares – paid.
According to the rules, you may invite neither your lover nor anybody else you have met previously.
If I should win such a prize, I would suffer a small pang of regret for the one person I would really love to meet is no longer with us. When I first arrived here he was mounted on a horse and wore an equally fearsome horned helmet. Yes, you guessed it. Ms Delatude would have been my choice was he still here and if I could invite only one person. Alas, he opted to leave us and I miss the old geezer.
But now he’s left and I can invite 5 friends. So who will it be? Five friends is cutting it fine and a lot of good friends are going to be left out; not because I don’t like them enough but rather because I am more inquisitive about the following people.
In alphabetical order:
Fotinia, Simmo, Ummka, Welela & Zmountainman.
They are 5 very different people but why them; what do they have in common with me? That is simple, they were all considered to be trolls at some stage. Guess what we will be talking about all night!
Ok, I left out a few other trolls but remember, I may only invite 5 people.
Also note that these people were all here when I first arrived at CS and played an important part in my settling here. No offense to my other friends; When I win the competition again you will certainly be on my list next time.
I trust that your weekend is going exactly according to plan.

See, it was not so hard.
If we work hard enough we will get everybody there in the end. It would be such a pity if you were to miss the occasion. There is going to be a huge after party.
Ah, what company, I would be delighted to accept your invitation.
Ol' Teddy is so well known here, I don't think anybody would have been mistaken.
What a fun time that would be!
Here we go!
1) Wallops
2) KNenagh
3) Spring
4) Miclee
5) Ken
Ok, here's the thing, Wallops would be seated next to Miclee, Spring next to Ken and I'll sit next to KNenagh! How 'bout that?!?!
If too many people think like that many people will have to stay at home. We all want to be there.
No problem there. I have asked Captain Morgan to adjudicate.
There is no need to bribe anybody. There were a lot of first prizes and if we keep on inviting we will all be there in the end.
It is so recorded then, the reservations will be made in her name.
I'm not paying. It is the sponsor of the competition who is footing the bill. I was just lucky enough to win one of the many first prizes.
KEN for some very intellectual conversations.
WALLOPS to bring her smile along and melt a few hearts.
FLY for his spiritual roots.
What about THE DOC. for his knowledge about ETs - although he hasn´t been here for some time, he is still doing research and may have already been "abducted", for all I know?
That leaves ONE...?
I haven´t decided on that one one yet...
Oh, yeah, ANGEL who is our Peace keeper.
What do you mean when to start packing? I thought you were on the plane already. A lot of people have arrived and they're getting hungry.
And also our friend Bungalow.
The idea is to get every body there but they need to be invited. You better bring your side otherwise some may not make it.
Good, a lot of fresh names. We aree getting there. It going to be a great party!
Just different languages.
See, our guest list is growing and in the end nobody will be left out. It is going to be a helluva party after the meal.
Aww!......................
BTW: I read your blog! I couldn't figure out!
How to jump in between you & Scouse............
Zeurich; is in Canada!
She has to drink with my cousin Butter.
No! Food for her...........
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND ALL, GONNA GET ME GLOW ON AGAIN, MORE FUN IN THE SUN AND THE BEACH
Hey man. I'm sorry you cannot be with us. You should reconsider. You were on more than one list and there is still plenty of place.
The designated driver?
OMG. Yawl Look out!............................
I ain't going to do it!......
Butterflies is a good driver and she only needs a few beers to keep her awake. If you are still scared when she drives a car we can charter a helicopter and then she can fly you home.
We can send her on a quick crash course to fly helicopters if she cannot fly one yet. There are several helicopter simulators that can be downloaded from the web for free.

There are still some names missing and some people may have stay home. The invitations seem to have dried up. And there is still so much space.
Hi, y'all...
