duarte's is a fairly rustic seafood place... lotsa locals and a few drive-bys. the food is local and great, the prices fair.

all are welcome to join us - please email me or doug if you want to reserve a hoveround

hope to see some new faces - doug and ken are all "beed out"

 

[Dtrigg]

What did you say Hal? Damn Miracle Ear on the fritz again. Thing eats batteries.

Ken, did you hear what Hal said?

Hal, if you and Ken want to get together next week for lunch, let me know. Thursday works for me. I want you guys to see the new nav I have installed on my Hoveround.

How about a Benefiber/Metameucial blind taste test if we get together?

I had some other questions for you, but I forgot what they were...

 

[ChopsJazz]

I am so there. I finally have my car!

 

[Dtrigg]

The food looks good, and the drive looks awesome... but I'm not sure I can get away with a 3 hour lunch.

Simple. Quit your job.

Steve, is that a compliment or a poke in the eye?

You need to get your butt out here and have lunch with us! You can stay with Hal.:tongue:

oop's I forgot the . Of course it's a compliment.

Thanks Pal. I am serious about you having lunch with us. We did have a phone conversation about you coming to San Francisco. Remember? Boy, what a hoot that would be.

Tell ya what... You come out and I'll pay the rental for a Hoveround! Now how's that for a deal?

easy peasy.

call in with a bad case of clams

or...

tell them you're testing the overheating issue with the 3g

or...

tell them you're modeling for the new google earth photos

or...

doug - can you help me out here?

 

[steveny]

tell them you just don't feel like coming in to work today.

Today was my mothers first day of retirement. I told her to call in sick as a joke but she didn't dare.

yeah, and for real transportation, i'll let you use one of my goldwings

Tell them your dog ate your homework! No. Wait. Scratch that one.

Tell them you have an opportunity to have lunch with Larry, Curly and Mo.

Tell them Ken got his car back after seven months and you want to see it, damn it!

Tell them you have an interview and you'll be back in three hours.

Tell them you're going to lunch. When you show up three hours later, pretend you have amnesia.

Tell them that you've volunteered to work with the elderly and challenged and today you have three textbook examples. Bring a camera. That way you can show photos when you get back to the office and point out how this one forgot his teeth, that one got lost going to the men's room and it took me 45 minutes to find him, this one fell off his chair and we had to call EMT. When they see our photos, they'll buy your story.

Buy fake vomit. Around 11:00 put it on your desk. Tell them you're sick and you're going home. (That way you can blow off the ENTIRE afternoon.)

Tell them you'll be serving lunch to the homeless today, along with your church group and you'll be late because have to serve the homeless and then help clean up the church afterwords. (No one could argue with that!)

Tell them you have a doctor's appointment because of these weird boils you have in your groin area. (Promise they won't ask ANY questions if you use this one.)

If these don't work, I am sure the four of us can think up some great ones over lunch.

How much money do you get these days for unemployment?

Just suck it up and take an early retirement. Upside - Just think how impressed people will be when you tell them that you're retired at such an early age. Downside - You'll be broke. Don't know. You're call on this one.

It's pretty simple. What's more important, having lunch with us and some good food, or your career and economic future? Again, your call.

Hope this helps.

...at the end of your life you won't remember another day at work. You WILL remember lunch with these jokers.

Too funny! Sorry I couldn't talk when you called. I'll talk to you tomorrow...and get you out here.:biggrin:

 

[queenlives]

yes... and that you had to pay for the lunch!

 

[Dtrigg]

Good point Mo.:biggrin:

How much money do you get these days for unemployment?

These days... I think you have to pay the state of CA to be unemployed.

Just suck it up and take an early retirement. Upside - Just think how impressed people will be when you tell them that you're retired at such an early age. Downside - You'll be broke. Don't know. You're call on this one.

Seriously contemplating this one...:wink:

THAT would be awesome! it sure would make people think before they acted like an ass at work.

 

[queenlives]

as fate would have it, doug's hoveround blew a fuse and we spent most of "lunch" at walmart (he rode on my handlebars) shopping for tuna and hoveround batteries / electrical supplies, so we're doing a real lunch this thurs at the lakeside cafe @ shoreline in mtn view. 11:30 ish lets you pay for your own lunch, 12:00 noon has you dodging the whole check.

doug and i are hosting a webcast of the healthcare discussion being held in off topic. (not)

seriously, any / all who care to join us are welcome.

If any of you guys have some eight track tapes you haven't been able to listen to lately, please feel free to bring them along. My Hoveround is equipped with a player and the sound is great.:biggrin:

We could really do some rolling and rocking out in the parking lot and be able to get down on the ground. Is that right? I'll have some Chubby Checker tapes and we can all twist in the parking lot. That would really be cold.:biggrin:

Anyone want to caravan our walkers into the restaurant?

 

[queenlives]

i'm in.

Why walk, when you can roll. :wink:

I'll be there...
