.. .. .. ..

Wallet + Air Miles = just enough to get me to Calgary by the 22nd ... I have this picture in my mind, being at 20,000 feet .... and the flight attendant handing me my luggage and a parachute, saying, "Your ticket runs out right about here. Get off. Safe landing."

A gazillion years ago, I contemplated taking a bus from Toronto to Winnepeg ... hey I was too young, stupid and in love -- bad combination ....... I was rudely awakened to reality when I discovered the trip would take about 3 days!! ... a bus to Vancouver would be 5 or 6 days... I would have a numb-bum, a dead-end..... I would be so foul from the trip, all of you would send me back east via cannon blast.

I will be with you in spirit nonetheless ...

But Doreen, it would be the Electric Sugar-Free Kool-Aid Low-Carb Test!

Can't you see it? The Merry Low-Carb Pranksters spreading low-carb thoughts across Canada! You could be the low-carb Ken Kesey! You just have to get the rest of the Pranksters together.

Gee, I don't know what to respond to first....you guys are too quick for my morning brain....

Karen, I will be at the BBQ!!!

Doreen, I've done the bus trip from Vancouver-Toronto - a couple of times - when I was young and stupid - it truly sucks! I didn't sleep for three nights! It's a pity you can't be here, though. We'll raise a pork chop in your general direction....

The Merry Low-Carb Pranksters, I love it!

Just think!

The Pranksters could create havoc in grocery stores across the nation! Bread would be replaced by heads of lettuce, skim milk cartons would mysteriously contain whipping cream, the snack aisle would have nothing but pork rinds and in the cookie aisle, free weights would replace the packages. With every purchase over $100.00, the Pranksters would be at the cash, handing out free Ketostix.

Come to think of it, the Prankster shirt should be striped in the same colours as the indicator on a bottle of Ketostix. The bus would be purple and pink and decorated with plastic replicas of meat and vegetables.

Come on Doreen! You have the power!

Talking *LOL*LOL*LOL*

All of you are too amusing! I'm not even going to try to keep up with your quick wits late on a Friday afternoon. My brain is already sunbathing ~ poolside out in Port Kells (my sister's pool). Another weekend in tranquil suburbia.

I'll be there Karen, however, I do confess to feeling *slightly* intimidated about potlucking with a gourmet chef hostess. What to bring?!?!???

signed, Tired Merry Prankster, can't wait til 4PM

Prankster Ruth!

Don't worry about it! You know that I'm pretty casual. I'll cook something non-intimidating, but on the other hand...maybe I won't!

You will be recieving your instructions in a secret low-carb communique, from a secret low-carb source, at a secret, low-carb location.

Until then,

Prankster K
