[Herpetologyfrk]

I can bake a strawberry cake again...

[rosenkrieger]

Britni and I can try to make a better batch of those peanut butter cookies. haha

[NBond1986]

Darn it.

I'm coming home from Bolivia on June 5th, after a year of being away from home.

And you chose my Dad's birthday to have the BBBQ!!!!

This is absolutely terrible for me.

Is there any way that the BBBQ can be on Sunday, the 21st???

I know it's selfish of me to request this.....but c'mon.....I've been away for a year, and I'm a founding member!

[Celeste]

Nesh,

why didn't you say something before they chose the date?  They had a thread for that...

-- C

[WBurke17]

[ogershok]

I can make jalepeno pickled eggs again. Maybe a bit hotter than the last time?

[noexcuse4you]

I'll bring pasta salad.

[delikorkmaz]

The BBQ trade/barter thread didn't work for me; maybe this is better? http://scabies.myfreeforum.org/about3595.html

I'd love to bring fresh corn, but given the long drive, how would the logistics work?  I could cook it at home and bring it but we'd need a way to reheat it, or I would have to impose on our host's stove...would this be acceptable or should I bring something less controversial, like a salad?

[ogershok]

[AGTrauger]

Fire roasted corn is THE BEST   If there's a BBQ there you just wrap the ears with butter in tin foil and toss on the grill  

[delikorkmaz]

[spidertotem]

Hi all,
I'm new to the group and would very much like to attend.  I don't have a vehicle at this time and am requesting to carpool with someone.  I live in the Hollywood area.  My contact info is:
fsorganizing@gmail.com or cell 310-339-8128

If I can find a ride, I will be bringing ground beef patties and buns for the grill.

Michael

[balam]

Hello, I'd like to bring some Ice Cream for the peeps .
The heat is on and I'm a grump without my Ice Cream so I'll bring some Dreyers or Breyers?

any suggestions or should I just go with Vanilla?

[WBurke17]

chocolate syrup, bananas, peanuts, caramel, whip cream.... Hint Hint Sundaes

[balam]

Well being that i am made of money ha ha ha.

Let me see what I can do, count on the Ice Cream and the Syrup, I might be able to take bananas as well, but if anyone else wants to bring some of the other items it would be great

[twirl and kill]

ill bring myself ......finally a close BBQ.

[WBurke17]

Wow could this be the infamous Dave?
It will be good to see you again bro...

[GOMER113]

Oh, how I wish I could go to this one!  If by some miracle I'm able to go, I will bring Karl Strauss beer (probably an IPA and a Hefeweizen) and the hookah pipe, if our hosts wouldn't mind.

[Celeste]

Don't bring anything illegal.  A lot of us do not want to be around anything illegal.

[balam]

Gomer is a stand up guy, hooka pipe is just for hooka, though I do thank you for the disclaimer Celeste

[Le Wasp]

As far as cookery goes, I'll have a microwave, stove, oven, toaster oven, and two charcoal barbecues (more like 1.5 bbqs) that everyone's free to use.  The food list looks pretty good so far!

Oh yeah, I also have a ps2 and a wii, if anyone would like to play them  (I just got the wii, so I don't have many games for it yet...  bring your own if you'd like)  There's also a dart board for the more physically inclined gaming.

[balam]

Ohh dart board, we can whip Warren on that

[WBurke17]

Keep dreaming boys!!!!!
Should I bring my soft tip or steel tip darts?

[noexcuse4you]

I might bring a tri-tip also.  Depends if its on sale or not.  That seemed to be a great hit at Andrew's going-away party.

[balam]

That tri-tip was pretty good man.

Is anyone near Michael?

[crash714]

I'll bring a bucket of fried chicken

                                         Eric

[Le Wasp]

[ogershok]

I bought the eggs last night so I'm totally committed. BTW - the hookah was really fun and enjoyable at Andrew's going away party. And totally legal too!
Also - Who is the "infamous Dave?" I was under the  impression that was me.

[WBurke17]

[GOMER113]

[ogershok]

[NBond1986]

[GOMER113]

[NBond1986]

[GOMER113]

I was just having a little fun with you.  I know about your Armenian roots, so I'm sure whatever you've got will put my pipe to shame.  For all I know, you probably have one that your grandfather made for you when you were 5.  Your post from yesterday made me laugh because it made me think that you saying you have a better pipe than me is like me saying my mom can make better chilaquiles than yours... no brainer (and no offense to your mother's cooking, either).  Still, bring yours!

[ogershok]

I'll probably bring one of my pipes too as usual. However, my smoking mixture (totally legal) has enough nicotine in it to kill a blue whale. Ok, maybe just a gray whale but you get the idea.  As a related but somewhat off-topic contribution, I'm growing three tobacco plants right now. Walker's Broadleaf. Big suckers already.

[NBond1986]

How dare you.

My the taste of my mother's Chilaquiles are none of your business. Plus you've never even seen them. She's always dressed well, and completely covered up.

as for the Armo thing.....yeah.

Armenians from Iran. That's my Dad's side of the family.

My mom's side is all Welsh and Austrian.

So uh.....my Viennese pastries are better than yours too.

But look on the plus side......at least you don't look like Hagrid from HP (Welsh, by the way)....like I do

im just a ball of hair.

[NBond1986]

I used to do drugs. I mean, I still do, but I used to too.

[WBurke17]

[AGTrauger]

You guys are making me want to take up smoking again (cigarettes not hookah)  

[balam]

You all are so funny when off-topic. Looks to be shaping into a fun BBQ

[Celeste]

Hey, folks

what do you all think about trying to accommodate Nesh's request (to possibly move the BBQ to the next day, Sunday the 21st)?

Personally, I had looked forward to this BBQ as a sort of "welcome home" party for Nesh as well, and it seems a shame to hold it on a day when he really wants to be with his father.

I think it would mean a lot to him if we could move it.  It's still three weeks away, so folks still have time to juggle their schedules around.

What do you think?

-- Celeste

[ogershok]

It works for me. How about the folks hosting? They're perhaps the key players.

[GOMER113]

I'm with Celeste and Dave.

[noexcuse4you]

WHATEVA! I DO WHAT I WANT!






Yeah I'm down with Sunday.

[ftorres]

[ftorres]

[Arborealis]

I'm ok with moving the BBQ as well. It would be a shame if Nesh wasn't able to make it because we were being snobs about the day. ::lol::.

[WBurke17]

If it changes to Sunday then we need to make sure that everybody is aware of the change of date..

[Herpetologyfrk]

21st is fine with me  

[crash714]

I can't make it on the 21st, Its my best friends Bday party.

                                          Eric

[rosenkrieger]

The 21st would actually work out better for me, anyway. I always have sunday's off, so I wouldn't have to worry about requesting the day off and then wondering if I'll get it or not.

[delikorkmaz]

Just to add to the chaos, y'all know the 21st is Father's Day, right?

(Though it's all the same to me, my Dad is 3,000 miles away)

[Celeste]

Oh, poo!  And the following weekend (the 27th/28th) is the Reptile Super Show in San Diego, and the weekend after that is 4th of July weekend...

How 'bout we do another poll to ask folks if they could do the 21st or if we should stick with the 20th?

I put one up here:
http://scabies.myfreeforum.org/about3651.html&highlight=

[GOMER113]

What about moving it to the previous weekend 13/14?  Sorry if it's been discussed and shot down, as I obviously would have missed it.

[ogershok]

How about we kidnap Nesh's Dad and bring him to the BBQ?

[noexcuse4you]

I think Nesh's dad lied to him and said his birthday's on the 20th so he can have 2 days dedicated to him in a row.

[Herpetologyfrk]

[crash714]

We should have the BBQ at Nesh's house like we had a few years ago, problem solved, haha

[Celeste]

Would people prefer the 13th or 14th instead?

That's coming up pretty quickly...

[WBurke17]

thats the problem, the date was already set and to try to change things in such a short notice is hard. if iys on Sunday I wont be there and I've never missed a BBBQ. Fathers day and already have plans. we can always do a welcome home dinner for Nesh..

[ftorres]

[Celeste]

O.K. -- I'll see if I can take down the poll on changing the date.  

Sorry, Nesh -- it looks like we're stuck with the 20th.  But we'll try to make it up to you.

Warren:  I can't delete the poll -- can you do that for me please?

[NBond1986]

Guys, I really appreciate you all considering it for me.

I'm going to talk to my family and see if I can work something out, because this BBBQ is extremely important to me. Anyone who knew me before I left, knows how important these events are to me.

I'm honored that you guys at least considered something for me. Unfortunately, timing and national holidays are not on my side! But I'm going to do everything I can to be there, but also honor my father.

A little history....

My mom had a brain surgery a month ago to remove tumors, and my dad had a brain hemorrhage (stroke) just two years ago, right around when SCABES got started. Doctors never expected my Dad to live. Said he was a walking miracle (Anyone who was at our first BIG bbbq at my house in November 2007, saw my dad walking with a cane). Same deal with my mother. And thank GOD that they are both alright and alive. It wasn't their time.

This is why my dad's birthday this year was exceptionally important to me. To be with both my mom and dad, who I haven't seen in a year.
I'll be home on Friday! I can't wait.

I don't mind saying this all openly to you guys. SCABIES is my family, even if there are several new members who I have never met.

Anyway, I would never have asked for such a selfish request, like moving a BBBQ. This was a little different.

But I'll do everything I can to be there, but also honor my dad's birthday.

God-willing I'll see you all on the 20th!

[Steven]

Just reschedule the bbq gosh darnit!

[moose9]

Hi everyone. I am fairly new to this forum and it looks like these BBQs are fun. I was thinking of coming out. I just live an hour or so east in the desert. I was just wondering how many people there may be so I could figure what to bring for food. I don't get out enough, and this sounds like fun. I hope to make it...

Greg

[WBurke17]

Hey Greg welcome to the forum, there is usually around 30 +- people thet attend, you dont have to bring alot usually enough to feed afew people. you will have fun and a good way to meet other arachnid nuts...
Warren

[~Abyss~]

Ok since Ive been MIA for a while I'm a bit confused on the dates. I'll bring a macarroni chicken salad if I make it. I'm not making any promises as I've had a few problems lately and I'm on a budget but I might get my car this month. Either way I just wanna show up to see Nesh for a bit.

[WBurke17]

Its Saturday the 20th

[Pulk]

is there going to be a hike/hunt associated with this?

[WBurke17]

Theres some nice hills around his house, i beleive John siad if people get there early they can go hunting..

[Emo Cinderella Boi]

[noexcuse4you]

[ogershok]

[Ronin]

[WBurke17]

Welcome to the group Brachy. The bbbq's are great way to meet fellow enthuist's.
Warren

[balam]

Welcome aboard Brachybaum, nice list you've got there.
Come on over to the BBQ and mingle with the folks in the board.

[Celeste]

DOES ANYONE NEED SUPPLIES OR CRICKETS FROM SUPERIOR ENTERPRISE?  
http://superiorenterprise.com/store/
If so, let me know by pm no later than MIDNIGHT THURSDAY.  The crickets are not listed on their website, but are $10 for a box of 1000 (I think for any size).  

I'm going there on Friday to pick up supplies for myself, so if you want me to pick up anything for you, and you promise to pay me back in cash at the BBQ, I can pick stuff up and bring it on Saturday.  I *may* only be at the BBQ from 11 am 'til 1 pm, so you'd have to pick it up during that time.

-- Celeste

[Loudog760]

This sounds pretty cool. I see people are brings pipes, I'm guessing they mean like real pipe with fine pipe tobacco. How about fine cigars? Montecristos, CAO, Partagas anyone?

[~Abyss~]

Montecristos are pretty awesome.

[Le Wasp]

Howdy folks.  The bbq is coming up around the corner!  It looks like the weather gods will be blessing us with a beautiful day of a high of 82 degrees.  I'll be cooking plenty of chicken legs and some burgers.  I might be running out of ketchup, so if someone could bring some, that would be good.

as far as tobacco goes: Hookahs, pipes, etc. are fine here, but all smoking will have to be outdoors.

[balam]

Hello everybody.
I have received a last minute notice which impedes my attendance to this months BBQ .
I was really looking forward to seeing all the new members and hopefully finally getting to meet the old timer (Nesh), and of course seeing some familiar, and not so familiar faces that don;t come around too often.
I will be sending some inverts with Warren that will be set up for the raffle .

Have fun everybody  


(oh, yeah, sorry I'm not bringing the Ice Cream after all )


Oscar R.

[BamBaboons]

>:O no ice cream?!? consider yourself on my bad list!!, ::lol:: just kidding. well hopefully you can make it to the camp out.

[Celeste]

Looks like I'll be there, and will be bringing Lasagna (w/meat) and Eggplant Parmesean.  Is Scotch O.K., too?

[Le Wasp]

[Swampy]

Hi all, New to the board but I am hoping to drop by the BBQ in the afternoon - I have a skyjump in Perris that afternoon but will try to swing by after. Is there a phone number I can get incase I get lost along the way and need directions? Thanks and hope to meet everyone there.
-Kalynn

[cacoseraph]

[WBurke17]

I already PM'd Kalynn with My # last night..

[ogershok]

OK, I have to apologize for not bringing the pickled eggs. Oh I have them, it's just that I'm not going to be at the BBQ. I got the $#@&* flu. Pretty sure it's the swine flu. And it's really crappy. Don't get it. It truly sucks.
Oink,
Oger.

[dna_splice]

Did Karen make it home fine? I saw she was having some "problems" when I left.

Thanks, Nick

[ftorres]

Warren.

[NBond1986]

Great BBBQ!!!!

Thanks a bunch to everyone.

Wow, made me wish I wasn't going back to Bolivia, so that I could actually take some animals home with me!

I made myself stay away from the animal containers a bit, in general.
It's dangerous to let me near them. I'll be too tempted to buy/take some home and then not be able to keep them come August. haha

Anyway thanks for everything, and it was AMAZING to see everyone, and get sexually violated by Eric, Warren, Steven, Andrew, and of course Earl.

We'll have another BBBQ/get-together in this following month before I leave.

-Neshan

[dna_splice]

Darn sounds like every1 had fun!
Hopefully I can meet some of you @ reptile show
next week!

Anyone willing to caravan there?
I live @ 405 and 110 intersection

[Herpetologyfrk]

Once again, thanks for hosting John and Kitty, I had an awesome time! It was great finally getting to meet you Nesh, thank you for not molesting me ;D

Do let us know how you are doing in a little bit Karen,

Great seeing you all again!


Thanks, Nick
