I look forward to meeting everyone... I will possibly definitely maybe go . I would really like to, but.. well, ya know... not usually a social futher mucker.
I will say yes for now... Coming from England I LOVE the southern american accents, (esp. TX, LA lol) so I don't wanna miss the chance of a lifetime. Will be a long ass drive from Missouri though.
Oh, also (it may have been mentioned earlier in the thread, but I refuse to browse 40 pages of this thread on slow dialup) what are the rules and regulations of the cook off? Also, what is the procedure? I hate going somewhere and not knowing where to go or what to do, as I generally end up stood in the middle of a room looking all confused. One time I went into a bank to open an account, and there were like three different kinds of counter. I went to one, realized it was the wrong one, then turned around. I then started to freak out thinking everyone was watching me, so I went to the next counter just so I would be facing away from everyone. Again, I was at the wrong counter. I apologized, and started backing up, when I fell over a table. Then everyone WAS watching me. Just had to walk out in the end, bright red and wanting to die.
So if anyone sees an Englishman look like a lost sheep in the middle of a room holding a pot of chili, then kindly point him in the direction he needs to walk. (lol, just realized, we are all essentially "lost sheep" as far as the b0rg is concerned, judging bastards, I blame them for the bank incident).
