Well, gang, the kick-off party at Rudyard's British Pub went off with only a couple of hitches last week.

One of our members, who shall remain anonymous, apparently liked the hot wings at Rudyard's so much that his pestering of the cooks in the pub's kitchen for the recipe finally led to management calling the police to escort him outside. Really embarrassing.
He left without the recipe, which was a good thing.
And then there was the guy who got all steamed up because his dog wouldn't come to him. He called her name a few times, and then walked over to the dog to administer some corporal punishment.
He got a few feet from the animal before a friend of his reminded him that he hadn't come in with a dog.
The guy stopped and looked real close at the big rottweiler. "Gee," he said "Ya know, you're right."
The woman who owned the dog was standing right there sipping a beer.
When asked why she hadn't stopped the guy by telling him that it was her dog, she took a sip of her beer.
"I just wanted to see how he handled it, that's all," she said with a sweet smile. "Tinker Bell can take care of herself pretty well."
You don't see too many rottweilers named "Tinker Bell".
At any rate, we now have more than our limit of cooking teams for our annual benefit. But for a twenty-five dollar donation to the cause, folks can still get their name on the t-shirts that we sell at the event.
There will be fliers coming soon to announce the benefit, but you can mark your calendar now, on Saturday, October 24th so that you can plan ahead.
So far, we have three bands lined up, the belly dancers have signed up again, and everyone is encouraged to bring stuff for the silent auction.

Hope to see you again this year.

Till next week
