You're supposed to be looking at the nifty sporknif not the purdy waves

I say Spork-Niff
The other two sound like some microbiological experiment gone awry

What a brave and generous offer. If you can handle two more for chili, my wife and I would like to represent the "Hoosier Procrastinator Club" and join your diverse group. I hope you will be willing to accept donations to the cause. Looking forward to seeing blalor again too.

I have to make a public correction. I am a born and bred Hoosier but my wife is originally from Royal Oak, Michigan. Even after living in Indiana for more than 30 years she reprimanded me severely when she found out I called her a Hoosier.

Can't imagine why?

hoosier [perhaps an alteration of Cumberland dialect, hoozer, anything large of its kind]
1: an awkward, unhandy, or unskilled person; especially: an ignorant rustic.
2: hoosier [usually capitalized]: Indianan--used as a nickname.
3. hoosier (verb) slang: to loaf on or botch a job.

Webster's Third International Dictionary, 1976



hoosier: A hillbilly or rustic; an unmannerly or objectionable person.

Dictionary of American Regional English, 1991



More info on being a Hoosier

Mr. Monk, we have added your party to the very exclusive guest list If the #'s grow much more we may need a bit of help with food but as it stands right now we are OK. We will let you know if we need beef jerky assistance a few weeks before MOTD for sure Looking forward to seeing you again.

The wife and I were actually thinking of doing little goofy iron-on t-shirts from the beginning (when there were 20 or so). but now that we're at 46+ we'd be ironing non-stop from now until the Dragon.

However, if there is enough interest, I'd be willing to throw together a shirt design and find a printer around here. I'm sure the cost wouldn't be to ridiculous.

Anyone interested in a shirt for NSW Dinner if I can keep the cost <$10?

Edit:

T-Shirts so far:
ShankRabbit & *Isabella* (2) (paid)
secunn (2) (paid)
blalor (1) (paid)
iflymini (2) (paid)
bamatt (1) (paid)
ashboomstick (1) (paid)
sjolly (1) (paid)
SB (1) (paid)
JCWGrover (2) (paid)
Minutia (1) (paid)
MINItencan (1) (paid)
MINIclo (2) (paid)
Yucca Patrol (1) (paid)
French_Toaster (1) (paid)
jst4fun (1) (paid)
davavd (1) (paid)
------
Total: 21

As of 10:26pm CST we have 10 so I'll get going on the design.

ORDER HERE: http://www.geekshocker.com/Claire/nsw_shirts.php

Cut off day is April 7th, at that point I'll make the order. So if you want a t-shirt for the NSW dinner, please let me know by then!

Same for me... $15 is not too much for me to always remember how unwelcome I am!
