Well, congradulations, but hey, there is always the 12 year anniversary. Well, hmm...I guess thats pending on the 11 yer anniversary first.

I have to say, I'm very disappointed. To think that you'd put your wife of 11 years over a bunch of strangers is unconscionable.

We'll catch you at the next one!

The sad thing is this is the first time I ever came close to forgetting it.

Things have just been nuts lately....

It could have been worse, I could have remembered tomorrow!

It never works on TV, but I'm sure you could pull it off. After all, this is real life.

you pyro - we waited and we waited and we waited... but the food finally came and it was aaaall good.

new canadian joke from cj which i will shamelessly repeat now:

how did canada get it's name?

well, there's a c...eh...n...eh...d...eh...

we were there until 1030ish is my guess - coulda swung by! next time!

**Cabaiguan Juan** · 06-24-2006, 02:56 PM

Pyro, using the old work excuse. For shame. Who's going to break into anything on a Friday night, no one is going to call ADT for security help on a Friday.

**thepyrofish** · 06-24-2006, 04:39 PM

I get the call I have to go. My bosses get angry when I turn down work and there was nobody else to take the job. I finished up around 9:45-10:00 and thought about driving over, but I would have had to drive home first to find the address...

So...any crazy stories???

Newfi smoked a cigar with the largest ring gauge I've seen! We couldn't find a cutter that would handle it, almost had to grab a meat clever and a chopping block. He said it actually didn't taste too bad.
Then some of the Sedskin cheerleaders came into Shelleys and

while

. Maui some how got dragged into it and

, while illilli tried to be nonchalant about the

going on. Newfi finally decided that American hospitality is too much for a person from C-eh, N-eh, D-eh, and had to head north toward the boarder, eh. Yeah, it got kind of wild.

**thepyrofish** · 06-24-2006, 05:12 PM

Don't lie to me bitch, you'd never cut a cigar with a cleaver.

Sounds pretty average otherwise.

**Newfie** · 06-26-2006, 08:24 AM

Well, here's some pics of us smoking around the table. Including one of me smoking the stick Juan was talking about.

In no particular order, we have:

illilli

Cabiguan Juan

mauied1101

and last but not least, Da Newf (Hmmm, I think illilli and I use the same barber)

We had an awesome time, although past 9:00 PM it did get very loud in the place and we almost had to yell across the table to be heard. The food was great, the smokes were spectacular (just too bad I didn't get a picture of the selection of smokes on the table) and the company was awesome.

Juan was the first in after me and we just kinda looked at each other a couple of times until he finally said "Jim .... Newfie??". I said yeah. He said the same thing happened when he first met Mauied.

I was looking at the pictures this morning and thought "Man, illilli and mauied just look wayyyyyyyyy too stressed!!!" Do you all agree? Juan and I each look like we're hurtin' ourselves trying to draw on the cigars!!

I felt a bit nervous when I first went in carrying about 30 sticks. Since they sell smokes there, I felt as if I was sneaking beer into a bar. Once everyone showed up, the smokes came out on the table and all was good.

I think I can class the first HERF I attended as a success. Too bad Mark and Fish couldn't make it due to other committments, but hopefully we can all meet again some day.

Time to get some work done.

Later.

Newfie (Jim)
