I'm up for either week, so yes the first week is fine. We just need to finalize the date before the third week of Nov.

4 pages and you still dont have a solid date yet. You might need to start planning this a little farther out like maybe every other year.

If you ever pick a spot and date I would love to tag along. I am just not sure you all will have made a decision by June.
Another Idea is since you want to do FN, then take a day and float the Current river. Great river and would help with the heat issues. There is an outfitter just up the road from F/N.

Tie him to a chair and strap him to the roof of the 61 and flat tow his junk if necessary. It is vacation for cryin' out loud.

I can dub the 61 "the family truckster" for this event.
It's hard enough to get him to go for a weekend....a day... Let alone 9 days..

If you saved all your broke tail lights we can glue 'em back together to get the desired quadruple tail light look goin'.

Oh, believe me, by June I'll have her down here, with 33" BFG KM2's, rear Aussie locker, winch, and possibly my racks removed. A trip like that *demands* me driving my own rig!

I guess not..
But how we gonna keep this thread goin till June 5th?
Mayhaps some mindless drivle (sp?) from the masses....
3 or 4 more pages of movie quotes....
Maybe Dan can map out all the Wal-Marts, not just locations of the stores, but floor plans & all item locations...
Brian can post up the entire dialog from "the Holy Grail"
DBJimmy can chime in & give us some new material...
We can try & come up with new & interesting things to burn & ways to burn them
Find new & MORE interesting ways to have fun with burning 6mil plastic.
Maybe Tom Walter House can give up some more lame-ass-gay names for Lukes Buggy (oops, wrong thread)
Perhaps we can try & invent a front hub for Gumbys rig, one that won't pop the studs out every 5 minutes.
Maybe we can try & find a way for me to not get to drinkin & bein obnoxious every night
There's always the old favorite of waiting for someone to type something stupid & then trash them out for a page or two...
I think if we really try we can get this up to 20 or 30 pages by June

just doin' my part to keep the thread goin';
While doing some extrac urricular activities in the spirit of Halloween  we were told about a graveyard where people have reported seeing mysterious tiny balls of green lights in the dark on random occations. Some wonder if they are paranormal, I however am pretty sure what is being spotted are the simply the infinite green lazer beams during certain campfire antics.

You should ask them if, through those green dots, they could see into the future? Then we will know.

Be careful what you wish for...
[opening music]
[wind]
[clop clop clop]
ARTHUR: Whoa there!
[clop clop clop]
SOLDIER #1: Halt! Who goes there?
ARTHUR: It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the castle of Camelot. King of the Britons, defeater of the Saxons, Sovereign of all England!
SOLDIER #1: Pull the other one!
ARTHUR: I am, and this is my trusty servant Patsy. We have ridden the length and breadth of the land in search of knights who will join me in my court at Camelot. I must speak with your lord and master.
SOLDIER #1: What? Ridden on a horse?
ARTHUR: Yes!
SOLDIER #1: You're using coconuts!
ARTHUR: What?
SOLDIER #1: You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin' 'em together.
ARTHUR: So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Mercia, through--
SOLDIER #1: Where'd you get the coconuts?
ARTHUR: We found them.
SOLDIER #1: Found them? In Mercia? The coconut's tropical!
ARTHUR: What do you mean?
SOLDIER #1: Well, this is a temperate zone.
ARTHUR: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?
SOLDIER #1: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
Not at all. They could be carried.
SOLDIER #1: What? A swallow carrying a coconut?
ARTHUR: It could grip it by the husk
SOLDIER #1: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
ARTHUR: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here?
SOLDIER #1: Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?
ARTHUR: Please!
SOLDIER #1: Am I right?
ARTHUR: I'm not interested!
SOLDIER #2: It could be carried by an African swallow!
SOLDIER #1: Oh, yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European swallow. That's my point.
SOLDIER #2: Oh, yeah, I agree with that.
ARTHUR: Will you ask your master if he wants to join my court at Camelot?!
SOLDIER #1: But then of course, uh, African swallows are non-migratory.
SOLDIER #2: Oh, yeah.
SOLDIER #1: So, they couldn't bring a coconut back anyway.
[clop clop clop]
SOLDIER #2: Wait a minute! Supposing two swallows carried it together?
SOLDIER #1: No, they'd have to have it on a line.
SOLDIER #2: Well, simple! They'd just use a strand of creeper!
SOLDIER #1: What, held under the dorsal guiding feathers?
SOLDIER #2: Well, why not?

Most of you probably already heard, but Telico is officially, permanently closed. I think we all knew the writing was on the wall but now it is official. There is some good reading in the Land Use section.

It's a nice little Greek resturant down on the soutside of Chicago. They had the best gyros!!
Considering the source I can't tell if you are serious so I'm not getting sucked in.

You're thinking of Tourico's. The place burned down under mysterious circumstances. Something along the lines of Greek Lightening. There are better Gyros joints. Central Gyros has a killer tzatziki sauce while Kings Gyros has a very light pita.
