What, no sausage?

I would guess since they're hiking into the Canyon, that storage is going to be limited to what they can carry.

Hence, my bet that there is room for only one sausage, and Frank will most likely be the one carrying said sausage.

*runs out of the room post haste!*

Can I... Can I come?

I can bring tea.

Frank isn't here just yet, so I'll defend SarahK's honor by saying that there will be no sausage! Shame on you both!

Still... you guys need a chaperone... unless this is really a team-building (ELOPE!!!) exercise.

Geez, you guys are incourigable. Keep this up, and I'll giving you guys the smack-down.

Yeah, you guys are gross!!

Hey Frank, is the honey ham selection a demand or a request?? I'm just asking because I'm hoping it's not a demand (not a good way to start things and all).

it's an agreed-upon selection, meaning, i called him and asked him if it was acceptable to him after i already had it in my shopping cart and had no intention of putting it back.

Watch out Frank. You Krazy Kids haven't even gone on your little adventure yet, and she's already telling you what to do.

I say stand up to her. Real men only eat steak and drink scotch.

All right. Sounds good. I love honey ham, yum. Don't forget the Cheetos.

Yeah, she woke me up at 2am to find out what ham I wanted. Crazy sarahk...

What was that about Vienna sausages? Sorry, sorry...

yeah, then i kept him on the phone a long time, even though he kept saying "SarahK, please please please let me off the phone, i'm sleepy!" i just kept shouting, "NO! i'm in charge of the Team Building excursion! you do as i say, and i say stay on the phone!"

But what kind of beverages will there be?

I have heard that honey ham is considered by some cultures to be the start of the mating ritual.

You're training him well, SarahK. ^_^

See!

This is why I didn't comment earlier. (Have I mentioned my mind is in the gutter this morning? I miss my Husband working 3rd and not even having weekends in common with him. The brain goes to bad places typographically and all otherwise when this happens.... *sigh*)

Honeyham: Good choice, and mayo may keep longer than expected, but at this point I advise not to risk it. Could kill the *cough* business meeting...

(Rolls eyes at the subterfuge....Yeah look it up, I spelled subterfuge right! Ha!)

there will be coca-cola (for when we're not hiking) and a variety of gatorade flavors.

variety meaning lemon-lime and fruit punch.

that reminds me, i need to pick up some official jelly beans of IMAO.

Well, honey ham is still a pork product...

will there be pickles?

Mmmmm. Cheetos.

Good. Long hiking trip. Ham.
You can use it as bait and catch all sorts of other stuff. Make sure you pack some heat, Frank. Oh, and take a gun too.

Oooh, but if you do bring Cheetos, make sure you bring diaper wipes, or wetnaps, whatever you single people call them because the orange finger syndrome can be gross.

Okay,

So I thought my mind was in the gutter...

Looks like Jolly Roger and Josh are leading the brigade...

Anyway, I'm all a'flutter with girlish glee, because this is just sooo adorable *cough, cough* I mean.. "Quite capital, the business trip and all!"

But what's with Franks' unusual Squirrel phobia? Did I miss that post?

LokiDoki...can your move your mind to the left a bit? You're blocking my periscope.

Frank J, you are doing just fine.

Oh!

Jolly Roger, No Frickin' Way Dude! This is like a sweet and uh, (uh, okay pure just don't qualify 'cause I so don't buy the biz'nez thingy, but.) Jolly old fella.. Stop that! I am so not moving my mindset back to the left again!

However I will gladly move said mindset to the right, uhh.... Oh sorry distracted, stepson is playing some ps2 game called "Red Dead Revolver.." Heh, heh! some kind of shoot'em up game. And... Oh, that ain't right... What are they doing to that guy?...

I was married to SarahK, Until I wasn't married to her. She was feisty and sexy and confident, until she wasn't. But I did see her naked, yeah, that's the ticket..I saw SarahK naked. The memory is seared - seared into my memory. And not naked like my tramp daughter in France, oh no, she was buck naked like those hookers I saw in Cambodia, when I was there in 1968 but not really. I got VD from one of them and got a Purple Heart for it. Did I mention I was a war criminal in Vietnam?

JBKH ^^^

ROTLFLMAO!

In regards to "honey ham," I could parody a Beatles song here, but why waste the time...

i just kept shouting, "NO! i'm in charge of the Team Building excursion! you do as i say, and i say stay on the phone!"

I am going to have to rethink this whole coveting of the t-shirt babe thing, she is starting to remind me of my ex. (points lost for bossiness)

Well, we know who wears the pants in the IMAO Corporate Office, now don't we...

Does a true Samurai fear fire? I think not, fire is but a plaything to the truly enlightened. Only monkees and low creatures fear fire.

Scotch is a good selection for hiking, it's the manly way to rehydrate. Could be bad if you get drunk and step off the trail, no handrails there.
I took the wife & tater tots there one summer. It got cold at sunset even in July. Watching the sunset together when the cold wind blows could be good for team building or paradigming or whatever yin's are doing.

don't worry, Frank. i'll protect you from the big bad fires and the little bad ground squirrels.

Whoa,

Is it squirrels or prairie dogs the Mighty Frank fears? 'Cause I got a cat that can take care of both... Answers to the name of Lucie.

However, I did have to rescue her from behind the washing machine today because she got stuck during her mighty crusade to vanquish yet another stupid mouse.

And she needs regular medication (some sort of auto-immune disease) Also, she is a notorious nose-biter(more of a love nip really...)

No, I'm afraid I can't loan her out Frank, you'll have to depend on SarahK to defend you from the fearsome Ground Squirrel....

Sorry....

Hmmmm. Scotch. Is there anything it CAN'T do?

Ways to use Scotch on the IMAO Employee Gathering.

Hey, babee. Want a drink?

I'm thirsty, can I have some Scotch?

Hmmm. This fire isn't hot enough. Let's add some Scotch.

Hmmm. Good Chile. Needs something. I know - Scotch.

Oh, a rattlesnake bit me. You'll have to suck out the poison - here's some Scotch for afterwards.

Oh, I shot myself in the foot. Here, burn this stick into the wound.First, let me have some Scotch.

Scotch. The wonderdrink. Make sure you take TWO bottles.

From what SarahK's said so far, and the whole pants-wearership issues, sounds I can imagine the pack-splitting:

Frank J.: Food, water, shelter, shovel, gatorade, extra clothing, SarahK's extra clothes, Scotch, SarahK's extra shoes and makeup kit.

SarahK: A camera.

Watch out Frank, she's gonna make you here burro!

I can't be responsible for the comments of these Philistines..

"tryst" is a very polite term for romantic engagement. We're talkin separate bedrooms "Bob Hope movie" kind of expression.

Honey ham? I prefer Smoked ham, but that's just me.

I went to the Grand Canyon back in May of this year. It was cool, but it wasn't on fire or anything. I loved the highways out there, 75 on the highway, 65 on the two lane roads, hubba hubba dubba dubba! And I got to see some Santa Fe trains! : )

We did take a dune buggy tour and saw first hand how the Forest Service was clearing out all the dead, scorched brush and trees, so half of Payson didn't turn into a scroched Terminator 2 landscape or something to that affect. Another "brillant" policy manuever by the Clinton administration, that W had to overturn.

Watch out for those darn snakes. The Crystal Forest and Painted Desert are not to be missed either.

Meet The Tates

Teamwork is essential in business and industry. To underscore this point, Co-op Magazine included this item: "You've heard of the corny Tate family. They pervade every organization. There is Dick Tate, who wants to run everything. Ro Tate tries to change everything. Agi Tate stirs up trouble whenever possible, and Irri Tate always lends him a hand.

"Whenever new ideas are suggested, Hesi Tate and Vegi Tate pour cold water on them. Imi Tate tries to mimic everyone, Devas Tate loves to be disruptive, and Poten Tate wants to be a big shot. But it's Facili Tate, Cogi Tate, and Medi Tate who always save the day and get everyone pulling together."
(for the rest of the article/devotional, click above. It changes daily so I included the date, in case you are reading this after today.)
