Budman, you STILL have to pry them open.

The oyster fairy doesn't show up and pop all the oysters open.

Kathleen, one shelter holds 100pp, another 50pp, and the third 25pp. I figured we'd take the 25pp one so we will not be picnic shelter hogs.

The park ranger told me where it was located but I can't remember. Let's just hope it isn't near the park ranger.

Oyster fairy!!! Love it!!

Now, Budman, you are coming to the south honey, so you must understand something!

It is not a barby, it is a grill!

You lassies could extend some of that Southern Hospitality and shuck em for us who live up North. :-) ((b))

Lassies? Yea, I'll shuck something for ya........

Maybe one of the Chuck's or Charlie's or Mike's will do it for you!

I forgot! They are all the same name!

So... who is that mysterious MB? Mr Budman?

It feels like a party, and we haven't even started yet!

On a serious note, really, should we start a new thread (with a link to this one)?

As Gardyloo and FainaAgain pointed out, the MB GTG title is a little cryptic. We wouldn't want to exclude anyone (especially someone who might be gullible enough to shuck Budman's oysters for him) :-)

I'll check into the Liberty beer possibilities when it gets a little closer to 11/18. But as al-kee-hal (non-southerners, you have to say it really slow) is prohibited in the park, we might have to be low-key.

Finally, GoTravel, excellent suggestion about Atalaya. For those that haven't been, it's really cool. And I never get tired of it.

Yes, start a real thread! Someone will feel sorry for BM and show up to shuck!

What is Atalya?

I will bring the "house wine of the South". Should I also bring unsweet?

I'll bring kybourbon's version of sweet tea :-)

The OWJs will make our best effort to attend this fabulous event...(Much will depend if OWJ2 can get time off.)

Beer, oysters, Budman's wine, and a bunch of goofballs--can't be bad!

Will someone teach this nice, prissy Jewish girl how to shuck an oyster--or her husband?? We may starve if left to our own devices!
