[MR] *WH* company of the elephant to host another party at cattle raids

[polearmed at att.net]

What??  We had a party last year?!?!  I was there?!?  Really!?

Come one and all.  It's a great time of year to camp, and one night when people won't have to worry so much about how much they drank.  Why?  Because you can dance and drink and stumble your way home to a tent or perhaps pick an unsuspecting vehicle to sleep underneath(Thanks, Johann).

BTW, if you haven't mastered the basic concepts of keeping you and others alive(i.e. drinkin and drivin), you are not welcome at our party.  So be prepared to camp or have a DD for the way home and we won't steal your keys.  Trust me....you won't want them back when we're done.  We know a whole bunch about discouraging specific behaviors.

But, alas, we have a problem....we don't know what to call this 2nd Annual "somethin' to drum, dance, and party about", and something this much fun deserves a real name befitting the fine fellows who throw it.  So, you all make some suggestions, right here on the Keep, and we'll announce the winner at the party.  

Winning choice receives....a firm pat on the back and a bucket that you'll know what to do with...oh, and the praise and admiration of millions. :)

Keep those cards and letters comin',

Falcone, Johann, and Finn and any of our company that attend
