Thought for the day

[Melon]

So I'm hungry for some BBQ... what about anyone else? :D

-Melon

[2TonCat]

Hi! I live in KC! We have BBQ! Bring the black car!

[Melon]

So there's 2 on the list... anyone else?

"Well it depends Melon.. when are you thinking about this?" How about a mid to late February meet like last year. Heck, it can be early February for all I care.

-Melon

[35thauto]

Cravings are short term....as in this weekend.

[Melon]

Haha yeah but how many of us could be in KC this Sat night? And before any of you post up that live in KC - that wasn't aimed at you :p

-Melon

[35thauto]

grrr...:mad: eating contest then, buffet.....time&place......

[Thunder95]

I'm in, I actually have jack shiz today this weekend... weird!

Guess I should go car shopping!:eek:

But seriously, I'm up for a meet whenever. Should be back in a Birdie soon.

-Joel

[Melon]

Unless someone has a suggestion - it'd be the Smokehouse :D And no, I probably wouldn't have the white car so no worries about getting kicked out haha

But now I may have plans Saturday so a total impulse trip would be out.

Ok, how about another place? been there twice, someplace you can leave FULL!

[Melon]

Have any suggestions?

-Melon

[Thunder95]

What are we in the mood for? I'm pretty good with this area.

-Joel

[Melon]

Shall I spell it out for you? :p

-Melon

[2TonCat]

Do not remember the name of it, but there was a DAMN good place up by the speedway. One sammich is enough for 2 people.

[Thunder95]

It's called McDonalds, and it was a double cheezburger, skinny!

-Joel

I kid I kid! :)

[351cat]

excuse me while i catch my breath from laughin at that last remark.... whew... anyway, if i have a job by then and can afford gas, i'm definatly up for it. I dont know kc very well, so i'll need an address that google can point me to, lol. Unless mike will let me follow him again i guess, haha... dont know if i wanna do 90 the whole way there again though. :)

[2TonCat]

~~~~, McD's is filling, yo! Damn happy meals are MASSIVE! Plus they always come with a b!tchen toy!

I do 105 on roadtrips in the taurus. 90 is nothing in a cougar lol.

If you get lost in KC, just give me a call. I've got my laptop with me at all times, and run Streets and Trips on it. You'll need to be able to read the signs at an intersection though.

[351cat]

You'll need to be able to read the signs at an intersection though.

90 is fast in mine, especially with no muffler, its kinda, um LOUD!! lol... i can cruise in the escort no problem at 110. Seriously i love that lil car on road trips, fairly comfy and 40+ mpg :)

and i can read signs just fine thank you.

[Melon]

You guys would hate me on roadtrips - I do 5 over the speed limit, maybe 10.. it depends on what traffic is doing.

Oh, and thought for today... Women aren't cool... and that's all I'm going to say.

-Melon

HOLY CRAP...I have the EXACT same thoughts today. 5-10 over and I cant stand my wife today. She is SOOOO angry with me (for reasons unknown to anyone). Anyway, there is a better tasting BBQ than Smokehouse. It is a place in Excelsior Springs. It is the BEST tasting I have ever had....but I can not remember the name. I know where it is though:D

Chris

[Melon]

Odd minds think alike, huh...

And find the place and we'll do that place next time we have a meet there.

-Melon

[thunderbird96]

k@m bbq in spring hill,ks 15 min from olathe they have sandwich called the killer $5 bucks for the sandwich as big as a small dinnerplate
damn good or zarda bbq in overland park texas roadhouse in olathe
long horn steakhouse in olathe if it's food i know where it's at

[Melon]

Tell us something we don't know...

-Melon

(ok, that was below the belt.. I'm sorry)

[35thauto]

No chain resturants & it does not have to be BBQ, just good any food where you don't leave hungry & broke.

[Thunder95]

Melon whatcha doing saturday?

-Joel

[sinhumane]

my thought for the day: Windows vista is teh sux0rz :mad:

this guy bought and had me build a thousand dollar monster gaming rig.. and vista is being a pain to install.

[2TonCat]

I think some of our more reading challanged members are getting confused... This isn't really a "Thought of the day thread". Its a "Melon Dinner Meet" thread.

[Melon]

Melon whatcha doing saturday?

-Joel

Talked to Ryan already.. but Ill let you know - I'll be working til noon or so and then I may be running into Omaha after that to mess with my cousin's Blazer.

Come on Joel - ring my phone :D (Ryan has my number if you don't)

-Melon

[traveler]

I can't make it till the 19th-20th or the 2nd-3rd. But it sounds like a great idea to me....

And lets explore the various other possibilities of places to eat in KC.

And we did not do 90 on that trip up from Joplin.... 73-75 tops. (Well, except when passing of course... :D )

[Melon]

If I do this - I'd probably aim for around the first weekend of February. Give some time for those interested in making the trip to be able to make it. And for us to get a hold of Marc :D

-Melon

[2TonCat]

I have marc's GF's phone number, so I should be able to get ahold of him.

[Melon]

He doesn't have a phone anymore?

-Melon

[2TonCat]

Disconnected. "Its better than going to jail!"

[Nettlesd]

Any weekend is good for me.

[Melon]

Disconnected. "Its better than going to jail!"

Hmm.. good thing I haven't tried to get a hold of him then.

My speedo must be wayyy off then, lol. My car is incredibly loud at highway speeds, so that may have affected my perception of speed i guess. Sure seems like we made the trip awfully fast, lol. I've got a muffler on it now, so its not so bad. :) I'm seriously thinking of making a trip to the dyno this weekend... depends on if i get my pumpkin changed and it works :)

[seawalkersee]

Wabash is the name of the place in Excelsior. Im telling you, I have never had better.

Chris

[Thunder95]

Chris

Thats what she said!

-Joel

[traveler]

LOL

Can't tell you then number of times I've heard her say that.... ;):D

[2TonCat]

Thats what she said!

-Joel

Jeez dude, I'm suprised she hasn't totally porked up with all that talk about resteraunts in excelsior!

[seawalkersee]

Yeah, I did not know she loved the meat that much.:D

Chris

[Thunder95]

I hate you guys.

:)

Chris you check your PM's? Ry, get ahold of me tonight er somthing... :D

-Joel

[Melon]

Hey Joel - I thought you was going to call me today :p

-Melon

[traveler]

So, is there anything set up for the first weekend of Feb? Trying to get things planned out here... :D

[Thunder95]

Are we talking an all weekend meet or just a dinner thing friday night?

-Joel

[traveler]

Well, I can't make a Friday night dinner thing. I have to work. I do have this Sat. and Sun. off however. I need to get some of moms stuff put on Craigslist (including a nice weight station if anyone is interested) and work on Dads computer. (Ryan?? :D)

More specific plz?

[traveler]

Well, I'm not real sure what it is yet. Dad doesn't give real accurate descriptions. (he's a technophobe) So he knows nothing about the computer except it doesn't do what he wants it to, and "extra" windows keep coming up. I know that it has a lot of extra software he doesn't need, "leftover" software from when he had dial-up, etc. I think it just needs a good cleaning (maybe even a format) and of course attempts at educating Dad. He really only uses it for email, etc.

[2TonCat]

Format = Time consuming = $$$
Cleanup = not that bad.

[traveler]

LOL I agree wholeheartedly.

Besides, I don't want to lose the software that he has that he should have (I.E. his office package)

[2TonCat]

Yep. OEM CDs are hard to find too.

[Thunder95]

Ok, who's up for the 2nd-3rd?

-Joel

[Nettlesd]

I'm in as long as I know what time and where we are going.

[Melon]

Something gonna happen that weekend? Maybe I'll take that Saturday off from work and come down... weather permitting that is (and finding a place to sleep.. too cold to sleep in the car)

-Melon

[35thauto]

Yes, sleepover.

[351cat]

Yes, sleepover.


Will there be pillow fights? :cool: If so, i'm totally in :D:p

[2TonCat]

Can I wear my new jammies?? I got em' for christmas, and they are the bestest ever!

[351cat]

Can I wear my new jammies?? I got em' for christmas, and they are the bestest ever!

^^thanks a lot ryan, now my side hurts...

[Melon]

I like you guys, but I'm not sold on having the sleepover :p

I think I'll be staying at a hotel haha

-Melon

[thunderbird96]

you coming this weekend melon?

[Melon]

Not this weekend - Got a buddy in town from IL, plus kinda short notice for me (not that it would stop me any other time)

I thought a meet was happening the first weekend of February?

-Melon

[thunderbird96]

I am helping freind move the first weekend in feb.

matt is coming this weeked to go to the vtkc planning meeting

plus afterwards marc and a few buds are coming over to play rockband

[351cat]

[traveler]

[351cat]

^^oxymoron...

[2TonCat]

No coffee creamer today... Its just not the same without it. :(

[Thunder95]

Took me over an hour to get to work today! NOT FUNNY!!! 15 miles!

People don't know how to drive in this stuff. If the tires are spinning, DON'T PRESS THE GAS HARDER!!!

Saw several wrecks, a billion stalled cars... absolutely ridiculous.

And if anyone see's an 80's primer Camaro... run him off the road... a-hole!!!

-Joel

[2TonCat]

Lol, WHICH primer camaro? :rolleyes:

People were checkerboarding the highways I take, only going 45. I was comfortable going faster since there were 2 nice dry strips on every lane...

Woman infront of me at a gas station exit got stuck going up a hill in her little toyota matrix.

3 idiot truckers on front street. One got stuck going up a hill, left it in gear, and got out and looked..... The other 2 wanted to do 2 lane left turns infront of traffic.....

[Melon]

You guys are wussies... I ran 55 all the way to work. Of course, that was at 5am and very few cars :D And only got about 3-4 inches up here anyway :p

-Melon

[2TonCat]

Lucky... I had idiots in my way.

[Thunder95]

Lucky... I had idiots in my way.

Ditto.

-Joel

[Melon]

You guys were driving behind Tyler and Jason? :D j/k

-Melon

[2TonCat]

I wish... Those ~~~~ers would probably be trying to do 140

[thunderbird96]

no i am not that crazy/ maybe tyler might but he would end up in a ditch again.

[Melon]

no i am not that crazy

Can we take a vote on that? :D

-Melon

[thunderbird96]

just crazy for you baby

[Melon]

just crazy for you baby

I think I'll be canceling the trip to KC :eek: I don't want to be within 100 miles of Jason.

-Melon

[seawalkersee]

Well...I did not have to work today so I will only be leaving the house to get a 12 pack here in a few minutes. Other than that, if it is morning driving, I take the 4xfoe and pimp the way to work. 'Cause you know what they say, Pimpin' ain't easy, espically if Jason, Ryan, and Tyler are your hoe's.

Anyway, I have to work this weekend so I will be out. Andy are you coing to the area soon? I can save on shipping agin if that is the case.

Chris

[Melon]

Andy are you coing to the area soon? I can save on shipping agin if that is the case.

Chris

If someone gets off their butt and plans a meet for the first weekend of February like it was mentioned, I'll be down. I was starting to wonder if you forgot about that :p Want the deal to work both ways? I hear you have parts from Ken?

-Melon

[2TonCat]

'Cause you know what they say, Pimpin' ain't easy, espically if Jason, Ryan, and Tyler are your hoe's.
He aint kiddin' folks :D

[seawalkersee]

Yeah...youz guys are a hard sale to the aisian petafiles. Let alone the normal people.

I am workin the first weekend of February but I will be able to git to see you guys if I can make some changes. Is it in this thread?

Chris

[Melon]

Nothing set yet - no one has decided where... but I am going to come down. I need to get the flock out of town for a lil bit.

Anyone with ideas - post 'em up in the other thread. Sat, Feb 2nd in KC somewhere.

-Melon
