I've just a few minutes before heading off to Ed Debevic's to meet with our traveling Sissies, fivetide and mizzougrl, and my fellow local, Oatmeal, for some dinner. fivetide, mizzou, wooman, henwy, henwy's mom and I spent the day at the Art Institute of Chicago, due to our lovely Chicago rain which prevented us from seeing aminals at the zoo.

[butthead]We saw pictures of naked people. Huhuhuhuhuhuh...[/butthead] We're now in the process of freshening up so the rain can melt us again and make us cold and grimey feeling all over once more.

So we went to Ed Debevic's, see, and a busload of Britney Spears wannabes pulls up and a bunch of screaming teenaged girls ran into the restaurant. henwy, mizzou, 5tide and myself went inside to escape some of the cold and rain. Never having been there (some Chicagoans henwy and I are, right?), we all rapidly became terribly disturbed by its overwhelming gawdiness and obnoxiousness. mizzou was also whining that her beloved Keith might be right across the street at Gino's East as we stood there. How would she ever live with herself if he was in there and we didn't take her? We all agreed it would be best to flake out of Ed's and head for Gino's. Oatmeal whined a bit, as she wanted Ed's cheese fries and she didn't like Gino's, but we all smacked her around and told her to suck it up; she'd eat what we gave her to eat.

We sat down, and when henwy opened his mouth, I went into a fit of hysterics, as he'd unknowingly colored the inside of his mouth bright blue with the jawbreaker he'd thought was gum from a machine at the evil Debevic's. We all had a good laugh until our non-Keith waitperson arrived.

Sadly, according to our waitress, Keith had been there during the day. She asked if mizzou knew Keith, and of course she told him she was his girlfriend. Now, we figure he's going to be in major trouble when his REAL girlfriend is told of this encounter.

mizzou decided it was necessary to leave a note for Keith, and I added that she needed to give him the link to his photos on the internet. Since we were unprepared for Gino's, the Elders (Oatsie and myself) ordered mizzou and 5tide to the drugstore around the corner to pick up some White-Out™ and a card for Keith (the waitress assured us she'd give him a note).

While mizzou wrote her love note to Keith, I rendered our dear SF's URL and our Sissy names on the wall, as well as a lovely Sissy portrait. Oatmeal and 5tide took it a naughty step further and wrote the URL on their money.

After we'd had our fill, we decided we needed to stuff ourselves with more crap and headed to Zephyr's for ice cream. Let me say here that Oatsie does NOT know how to be the head of a convoy. Oatmeal broke her fancy flip-flop and had to rubberband it to her foot. henwy ordered a monster ice cream just to see how big it was (and it was). I wiggled my ears and bent my fingers backwards to the delight of all. mizzou ate everyone's cherries and whipped cream, as well as half our ice cream treats and the french fries of the guys behind us. 5tide, well, he just talked cute.

Finally, wiped out, with a mess of ice cream all over the table (not a one of us finished, even remotely), we headed our separate ways in the fine Chicago thunderstorm.

We've all learned something tonight, and that is that mizzou's a henwy-certified Slutdar™ 2002.

Of course, you see who he learned it from.
