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.

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

Sounds pretty average otherwise.

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)

Thanks for sharing the pics- Newfie. It is great to put faces to screen names, even if you all are a bunch of goofy looking bastids!

Shag's gonna have fun with these...
