Damnit, just because I've bailed once or twice doesn't mean shit...and I didn't miss the poker night because of my knee, I missed the poker night because of a bachelor party.
I missed the second bball night, but only because I hurt my knee in the first bball night.
I missed drinks with Chud and Thumpers because my mother in law was in the hospital...fwiw, she is now scheduled for surgery for the same problem.
Those are the only times I've bailed. I made the golf outing last year, made the last poker night at the Buttocks, and hung out with SIMV, scarletandgrey, and the Buttocks on St. Patty's day, and made the bball night. Shit, now I have a complex...
What has Thumpers EVER shown up for? Aside from the time I bailed on him, that is...
Oh, and I was at the BP tailgate last year, but SIMV was a no-show...
