Pizza from Chicago and chesecake from NYC and Dim Sum from up the street sounds good to me.  But, if its not liquid, I'm not doing it tonight.

((((Dim Sum))))

It took a while for the Chinese to get the idea that as Westerners we like Dim Sum in the middle of the afternoon, but we brought them round.

Hmmm.... new ESMAG food idea? Stuff it into a donut, covered with fish paste and mashed potatoes?

We should add that to our diet plan...eat one and you won't be able to eat for a week.  The pounds will fly off!


@Simone: I don't care for the julep either...or the race.  One trip to the Derby is enough for a lifetime...three, well, unless I'm a millionaire with a box seat of some sort, leave me out of it.    I have to say, we had quite a time trying to find the ol' Colonel.  The cemetery maps are upside down, I swear.

I was born and raised in kentucky for the first few years of my life. I remember as a kid we went to the derby, sat in the infield, and the adults had mint julips. It was all terribly boring for a kid, but I remember churchill downs as being this huge place. When my wife and I were dating we went back to my home city, and made a run to louisville to poke around, and found churchill downs. It was a rather small facility in a dowdy neighborhood LOL......

It's a lot different than it looks on tv.  I was in the infield three times because I was in UofL's marching band...ick.  It's like mardis gras but you can't leave until after the Derby.  What part of Kentucky are you from?  (I'm a geography nerd...this sort of thing is exciting for me )  The infield sounds like it used to be relatively calm, from what you said.  It's a big drunken mess now.

Marching band, eh?

Indeed.  I played cymbals and bass drum...but not at the same time. 

...an ESMAG marching band?  I think I'll we'll be needing some major funding for that, so if you'll just make that check out to me, I'll get right on it!

Wouldn't an ESMAG marching band be marching in all directions, instead of all neatly lined up 

The odd thing about it is that it seems every department or person with a plan who asks for funding, receives the funding they requested.

If we had a manager, we would have to fire them.

I'm talking about any individual who potentially has the authority to limit our spending, but who is obviously not doing it.

I was unaware that the team had soft balls.

I like my new office chair. Should the marching band play before or after the game? Or maybe both?

I say during. That should make for an exciting ball game, whichever ball we are talking about.

yay softball!

this worries me. 

As an interesting side note, injuries from softball lead to more trips to the emergency room than any other sport. The cause is that a lot of people who play typically don't do much exercise, and tend to be older.

So, eat your ESMAG approved meals and do your stretching exercises/weight training before heading out onto the field and mixing it up with the marching band.

Not only would they be marching in all directions, they would also be slurping their fish and fruit smoothies and ESMAG snacks. But that's just part of the ESMAG allure that attracts so many 

It's somewhat difficult to play wind instruments or horns while simultaneously drinking smoothies

Somehow, I think it'll be hard to do anything else while drinking ESMAG smoothies...let's hope there's a puke-fairy near the field...

Maybe playing "scales" has a new meaning when you consider the fish smoothies LOL......

You say 'oy' and then add to the madness.

I respect that.  You're a halibut androgyne, Z.
