Thanks,
I'm going to try to attend. Being the season for parties and banquets, I will know more as we get closer.
We plan on going as well. Nice little facility in the shadow of the Gaylord & good food for the price.
I'm in. Last year it was the best party of the year, at which I received an award.
Watching Jimmie S. get tanked and do the Star Spangled Banner on a flaming kazoo was priceless!
We will furnish games and door prizes. Bring your own flaming kazoos.
Funnel Cakes?
I thought there was going to be a fist fight over some of the cheap trinkets I spread out on the tables last year. Who would have thought a bunch of grown men and women would be so aggressive over a racecar shaped beach ball.
I have been hammered with all kinds of stuff at home and work. I've also been working on the season points and other special projects for ER. Anyway, I've been delinquent in getting the details out for the awards banquet. This year it will be $10 each pay at the door. I have been taking RSVPs at [email protected] The event will start at 7 PM. We are serving fajitas buffet style and you will have a choice of chicken or beef.
I will be writing a Prez Sezz and posting the same info on our website.
Thanks,
Actually, It is changed to $10 prepay through paypal at [email protected] or $15 at the door. Either way, you need to RSVP so I'll know how many fajitabeast to kill and skin.
This is a reminder that I need your RSVP's and $10 paypal today. We have to know how many fajitabeast to kill and skin. If you don't want to paypal $10 then you can pay cash at the door $15. I'm calling the caterer today at 4 so if you aren't on the list by then you will have to do a bunch of gluteal smooching to get by the bouncer on Saturday. Paypal to [email protected]. Details on the website.
Paid.
We are giving a cone killer award this year. Any guesses on who will win?
Robert Alston
J-Fo
While adding them up it became apparent that there were a few regular offenders. Some stood head and shoulders above the rest. While I rounded out the top 25, Mike beat me barely to take the 24th spot. Ken had the honor of being in the top 10. J-FO and Drifter are right up at the top of the list but I'm not going to reveal their actual ranking until the party.
Carl Porter won the toy car race and Katelyn Johnson won the cone killer award. We had a wonderful time handing out trophies with screaming slingshot monkeys flying overhead.
Here are the only three images that didn't turn out fuzzy.

The party was a fun evening, and the food was great. Anyone who thought about it and didn't go ought to give it a shot next year; its fun to sit and chat with all the drivers you normally only see for a few minute at events.
Screaming monkey's are my new favorite toy; these should be on tables at all formal events. I think White House press briefings would be must-see-TV if they had these!
Congrats to the winners, especially those on hand.

Wish we could have been there. Sure it beat the black tie affair I had to attend at the Omni with Sharon's employer...Quote:

Remember, you aren't trying hard enough if you aren't hitting cones!
Wow, quick work there, Andy! looks like you and I are in the running for the Mr. Clean Award!
Dang, looks like this conekiller award thing is popular!
Maybe we'll have to put more effort into the trophy
Steve E....
I have to admit that I was going to take complete credit for the award if it was a big success and blame it on Steve if it was a flop. I guess I'll fess up and let everyone know that Steve had the idea and made the trophy himself.

I need to try harder next year ;)
I wonder who had the fewest cones per event.
edit
I had 9 total cones +1 DNF
.9 cones per event
There are many ways to look at the statistics. Someone who ran only one event and had no cones would have a 0.00 the same as someone who ran 10 events with no cones. Who should be ranked higher? Of course, a person who ran 1 event and hit 65 cones could end up winning the award edging out the one who ran 10 events and hit 64 cones. Who should win in the award in that case?
You could just set a minimum amount of events required to be in the running.
The winner gets to clean the cones.
The winner has to sweep up a bucket of gravel off Mineral Wells for each cone they hit.
Winner gets to replace the cones!Quote:
