Other sites have "baked" an annual get-together of one kind or another.
Imagine a parking lot full of dimpled cars and carbicles.
We'll serve naan gloves with helium soda and seafood pizza. (PO please bring the carbonated ketchup)
We can play ana-graham crackers and use bizarre metaphors.
Hawaii
is a logical host-site.
The only real idea I ever had

12th Annual Anglo-American Halfbakery Convention
http://moniplex.com...ain.php?picture=129
Just some of the throngs packing the Halfbakery Picnic. Actually, we had eight Bakers on three continents (if we count L.A. as an island completely unto itself): snarfyguy, buddha_pest and DrCurry in the flesh; po, egbert and Rods_Tiger teleconferenced in from London; and thumbwax via a very shaky satellite link.

Susen invited everyone over for Memorial Day once. No one came. Wasn't Hawaii, though I doubt that would make a difference. |
|
| |
I was going to suggest NY, but that would be selfish of me. Besides, an amazing number of interesting people here are aussies. (!!) |
|
| |
Heck, I tried NYC right before Christmas, but everyone was tied up or dead. We could try again, though - pick a date. |
|
| |
By the Bethesda Fountain. Let's say June 7. |
|
| |
Yeah, but none of them showed up last time. |
|
| |
Hideaway Island, Port Vila, Vanuatu? |
|
| |
Sure, if you want to hang out on the touristy side of the island. |
|
| |
BTW: I'm not sure why, but I feel a bit hesitant to be alone on a little island with some that gather here. |
|
| |
In New York I have a namesake (my real name) whom frequently features on NY Society websites. Prehaps I could persuade him to attend as my proxy ... |
|
| |
It's okay, we could vote the weirdos off the island. |
|
| |
The Azores seem to be a convenient diplomatic locale. Anyone have the Spanish foreign secretary's number? |
|
| |
bris: can do that in New York too - the middle bit, anyway. |
|
| |
Curry: if that was true it would have been done long ago. |
|
| |
Hey, if it's Hawaii then I can show you around. |
|
| |
June 7 is a better date for me. Any objections? (Yeah, yeah, bris, but you're not going anyway.) |
|
| |
You're right. Wave to everyone for me. Blow kisses. |
|
| |
Bring an umbrella. (Though there is cover there if it's raining heavily.) |
|
| |
It was quick and dirty, though, wasn't it? Allow me to rephrase that. Unsure if Rods could hear me beyond the intro, as all I got was static beyond that point (Not from Rods though) so I gave/hung up after 45 secs. Though subsequently I did have @ 5 minutes of convo with egbert (having more fun than should legally be allowed) and po on another call.
From this USn's linguistic perspective, the males had vocal inflections not dissimilar to my own, (which can be taken to be a thing - good or bad, heh). However, with po being the second of two female halfbakers I've briefly spoken with over these few years, rest assured that the fairer half is indeedly-do, blessed with voices just as pretty as a song. |
|
| |
Oh, yeah, and we even came up with some Halfbaked ideas. See links. |
|
| |
Kind Doctor: Would you mind fixing your Coco-Nutz link? It's missing its zzzz. Maybe too much caffeine. |
|
| |
Looks okay to me (maybe someone else fixed it). |
|
| |
I've got a pitchfork, who's got torches? |
|
| |
I heard talk this was an annual event..anyone up for lunch ? |
|
| |
Anyone for Salem, Oregon USA on August 21, 2017? Hotel rooms may be hard to find though. |
|
| |
nah, washing my hair, sorry. |
|
| |
Oregon sounds good to me. But I'm busy August 21, 2017. Can we switch it to the next weekend? |
|
| |
I would like to offer the services of my trained pigeons to clean up after the picnic. |
|
| |
How about western Canada? |
|
| |
I'll fly my car to any where you guys are
willing to meet. 2017, is going to be a
bit tricky, perhaps I shall ask Pluterday
for a ride. |
|
| |
Be sure to bring a telescope and a sun filter if you are coming to the August 21, 2017 meeting in salem, Oregon. |
|
| |
//How about western Canada?// No, GWB invaded Canada in 2006. By 2017 there's only the US and Austria left (Austria untouched by then-president Schwarzenegger out of respect for his homeland). |
|
| |
<poor taste> would Austria be renamed....</poor taste> |
