Guess who's coming to dinner

Actually, it should read "Guess Who Came for Beers". That would be our friend John of Toilet Paper with Page Numbers and Chicago Boyz. He's in the area for a conference so we met up and downed a few brews and swapped a few lies at a local pub.

Fine fellow for a marketeer, our John. He has had some pretty amazing, and hair-raising, experiences in eastern Europe (but really, John, shivving that KGB agent was just a tad over the top, don't you think?) We shared some family stories, stories about work (in kinda-sorta allied industries), stories about Mr. Bingley (dude, you need to post a pic of that little chiffon number), and what not. And drank a beer or two. And a good time was had by all.

And now to bed. Four o'clock comes early, my children.

It was good meeting you, too.

But dude, don't even joke about that KGB stuff, I don't want a sandwich full of strontium the next time I'm in Brighton Beach. For the record, I was only detained by the KGB twice, never arrested.

Besides, I'm not the tough guy in my family, my father-in-law is. When, in the first day you meet your father-in-law, he tells you about nearly cutting the head off of the first guy he killed, you tend to take your in-law relationships very seriously.

And if Bingley came anywhere near me in a dress, I'd have dumped him in the East River. But thanks for the mental image, man. Where's the Clorox?

For the record, Ken, it was taffeta.

Sheesh.

Heh heh heh. Okay, no more KGB jokes.

Bingley jokes are still okay though, right?

Bingley jokes are always cool.
