OK, it's with a heavy heart that I announce that it may be time to lead RR18 out behind the woodshed with my rifle. To the best of my knowledge, there are only 2 folks besides me making the trip out; Doc Strange and Kalashnikov are both forced cancellations. Further, Strangelove reports zero traction with the Vegas PCA peeps. I enjoy Vegas as much as the next red-blooded heathen, but I pooched the scheduling for this year...shoulda been 6 weeks ago.

I love me a good debauch, but at this point it seems the time and money would be better spent going into the site than going into my pre-cirrhotic liver.

Yeah, I hate to do it, but I also don't really want to drink alone in Vegas for 3 nights. That seems...creepy.

This wouldn't have been some grand scheme to get hands on the golden trophy...right?

Actually it's too bad it didn't work out. Seems like all attendees had fun last year. I would go but don't want to be the designated driver for those whose tend over imbibe in intoxicants. I hear that happens sometimes with you types. Naw I probably wouldn't go either way, the wife would kick my arse. I have a checkered past...so to speak.

He is in rarified company as he is one of only 4 here (one has only posted here once) that have seen it in person and put their slimy little fingers on it.

Aiight, since RR has been scuttled for '18, is there any interest in a BBQ/poolstravaganza some time in the next month, hosted perhaps at Casa de Schnelly? I know a guy who (temporarily) has possession of a gold-plated bearing that might make an appearance at said BBQ...
