Think to yourself: “Why did I schedule my surgery on the same weekend as the ogmeet? My liver isn’t really that bad.” and tap yourself lightly on the face. Think of the hundreds (well, dozens. Okay, five) people you’re going to miss by not attending, and all the naked table dancing by Leslie good times you’re going to miss, and the additional missed opportunities for blowing stuff up. Think of what you’re doing instead. The kid will have hundreds of baseball games, There will be thousands of re-enactmente. There will only be ONE Ogmeet 2006. What were you thinking?

Now, go forth and have a good day.
