TAM 9 Dates

[Chris H]

Alas, I did not give you any kisses for the three packages of Tim Tams I got to bring home because their owners didn't claim them in time.

Ah well, there's always next year.

So now that we know when TAM 9 will be, let's talk about dates.

You'll get Scrut over-excited.

I prefer figs, unless they're in squares.

 

[Wowbagger]

Mmmm...... I can almost taste the exotic flavors of Tim-Tams!

(By the way, stores such as Target will be shipping them into the U.S. on October 19th, this year.)

TAM singles mixer?

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

TAM singles mixer?

It's called the Del Mar Lounge.

 

[Wowbagger]

It's called the Del Mar Lounge.

But, couples also show up at the Del Mar.

Perhaps we can have a special event just for singles, somewhere, some time.

Everyone shows up at the Del Mar. It's a great place but more geared toward schmoozing with everyone, not specifically singles. There are "taken" people who go without their SO, so while they appear single they really aren't or there are single people who aren't looking. If there's an actual Singles Mixer, people who are interested in meeting other single skeptics know that everyone else is looking as well.

So do unattached married women.

Count me out.

Exactly. Mix in a little alcohol, and sometimes they forget they're "taken".

This is why I've been trying for year to get a system of lapel pins established! Red means stop, Green means you're Tobias, Yellow means you drink beer.....I might need to put more thought into this.....

Pink for Tobias, surely?

Valid point.

Perhaps we can find a better word than "single", then. Have an event for folks who are either single or browsing for possible replacements.

What would be a good word for that?

Why so restrictive? One might fall into neither category and still be interested...

Why would you want herpes?


Also, the timing of the TAM weekend is not so great for me, as it might mean I can't even attend at all
