Of course I may have the incentive backwards. For those of you who want your punishment, it will be withheld unless you attend. I will leave it to our Dominatrix to decide who will get their punishment and who won't..

Dear, dear... what have I done to deserve such a reputation?

In any event... who wants chocolate?! A bunch of people have confirmed that they're available for a field trip this Friday at 4:15 pm.

The plan: meet at the corner of Bay and Front at 4:15 from whence we march to the Distillery District. SOMA Short shots and as much chocolate as you can carry will follow. I'd suggest we take in the Artcore and Sandra Ainsley galleries while we're there.

If the weather's bad, I say we scrub the mission and try again another time. It's about a 10-15 minute walk - all above ground.

Confirm in Comments that you're coming. If you're not coming, explain yourself :-p

I know chocolate is a Good Group, but is there going to be any Alcohol invoved?? We cannot leave out the ETOH Foot Group on a Friday....It is Friday and I need an ETOH fix! Just need to clarify...

christy said...

Ok, I'll bite. ETOH?

grant said...

I'll be there. I agree with Lisa, alcohol must also be part of this.

But ETOH?

Lisa said...

Wow, typo error - ETOH 'Foot' Group should read "Food Group".

ETOH is the chemical name/short form for alcohol (sorry - it is the nurse in me - can't be removed). Grant is right on the mark, as ususal. This is why we love him.

ETOH??!?
What the heck is "ET"? I thought all my alcohol was flavoured with Carbon atoms? ET sounds like a science fiction character instead of something from science class.

Engineers I know said they used large quantities of alcohol on nursing students while going through school..

Anyway, alcohol would be nice, but not necessary..

Lisa said...

Okay, it would appear I need to spell this out....

ETOH is the chemical name for ethanol or ethyl alchol, commonly known as alcohol to those of us who enjoy this intoxicating substance...the chemical, or specifically the organic chemical or molecular formula is EtOH, C2H5OH.

Yes, it is very true that Engineering students tried to use very large quantities of this sustance on Nursing students - no doubt with varying degrees of effectiveness.

Hope this clears things up for "Chemistry Student" above who should know what ETOH is by now.

So I got to Bay and Front at about 4pm, and I waited. 4:15pm, waited some more. Looked around at all 4 corners. Waited. 4:30pm and I'm thinking maybe they really meant Bay and York? Nah. Waited. 4:45pm and I gave up on everyone and figured I'd find a few of us on the 5:03. Nope. Nobody there either..

If anyone DID go, they'd better save some choko for next week!

I was waiting on the street corner for so long I thought I would start getting some offers! (No such luck with that either.)
