119.0. "Hendry Got Hitched....." by CAMONE::WAY (Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate) Wed Jun 02 1993 12:13

Got this from A&W via the Internet:




News flash - the one and only John Hendry, the Ninj, Mr. AnswerMan, got
married last Friday to Susan, the lovely lady he had with him at the
Bruins/Whalers get together last November. It was a very small, very
private ceremony. John also got instant family in the deal, and couldn't
be happier.

Since I didn't get a chance to dance at his wedding (as previously
threatened :-) ), and since I know that all you "Phreakin' Lunatiks" won't
want to leave such a momentous occasion unmarked, I'm offering to throw a
bash for the Ninj and his missus.

Set aside Saturday, June 26, from noonish (maybe a *little* later?) until
whenever for a BYOE (Bring Your Own Everything) at my place. For those who
are incapable of driving, there is plenty of floor space - bring blankets
or a sleeping bag. All bodies must be out of the house by noon on Sunday
so that I can make my plane. :-(  To get directions (and so I can brace
myself for this) please contact me on Internet. Address is
[email protected]    If your techno-weenie skills don't extend far
enough to send a message, send mail to 'saw and he will get the message to
me.

This really is Bring Your Own Everything. I will have ice and charcoal. I
have a small (one person size - table-top variety) grill. I also have a
tape deck and CD player INSIDE, but they don't have high-power speakers.
Basically, I don't live there any more, so you must bring your own food,
drink, utensils, tunes, games etc. etc. Wives and girlfriends are welcome
if you think they can stand it. Kids, unfortunately, won't work well -
for their safety. (The house is between a fairly busy road and the
Charles River, and there is no fence around the property.) If you have a
volleyball net, croquet set, or similar that you'd like to share, feel
free to bring it along. I have none of that kind of stuff. 

If it rains, we go on anyway. It'll just be a little more cozy. :-)

Hope to see y'all there --

A&W

Durn - the 26th was the day I wuz goin' to ask all youze guys to help me move...
119.3PFSVAX::JACOBWed Jun 02 1993 14:4413
    hey =bob=, why not do the move that day anyways, just omove the party
    from Allison's to you place(s)??
    
    That way, YOu supply the food, and beer, and silverware, and plates and
    so on and so forth and everybody still has a good time watching you
    throw your bak out trying to put the bedroom dresser in the back of the
    truck by yourself whilst everybuddy else is drunk as a skunk.
    
    Sounds like a winner to me.

�All those kids forcing you out, Bob?

It is mind boggling how quickly enormous sums of money virtually fly out of 
your bank account when you do this.

On a sports related note, the new house needs a new kitchen floor, and we 
bought it from Tom Barrasso's father, who is in the flooring business a couple 
of towns away.

Somebody dance with Ninj for me on the 26th, OK?

119.15GIFT????????CSTEAM::FARLEYMegabucks Winner WannabeeThu Jun 10 1993 23:0331
    
    I suppose it's also traditionally appropriate to give friends wedding
    gifts - right?
    Does it make more sense for people to buy their own gift(s) for da Ninj
    or would combining funds and then getting a nicer (i.e. more expensive)
    gift from all of us?
    Anybody care to comment on those thoughts?
    
    Well,  I'll volunteer to accept any sum of $$$ from anyone who would;
    a) like to get him a gift but won't be able to attend the
    "post-ceremony" party
    or
    b) those who would rather combine funds for something
    
    I also don't have a clue as to what to get them but I'll give it some
    thought.
    
    If the weather is gonna be real nice, those who come may see the
    Truimph!
    
    For anybody wanting to send a few (or a lot) of $$$ to me for ninj,
    my m/s is MRO1-3/C3.

119.17CAMONE::WAYYe can nae dispute tha'Fri Jun 11 1993 10:0511
I always tend to give the Single Man's Wedding Gift -- MONEY.

I'll probably stick a check in a card and knowingly and slyly slip it to
da Ninj, along with some manly sexual comment.

For all you guy noters, we should make some comment about not being
able to attend the OBLIGATORY stag party....  (Da Ninj dissed us there).

Okay, Tommy, are YOU gonna come down here and clean the orange juice
off my workstation?????

This image popped into my mind, of Ninj in an apron, mopping the floor,
when this beachball goes flying by.....  God what a sight....

Just for grins and giggles -

The following are who I'm expecting thus far:

   Bob Long
   \don
   Denny
   Dickster (& Casey)
   Tommy Brydie
   Walt Ashe (maybe - and it could be a cameo appearance)

So, "good seats are still available", as they say. So far, it sounds like
this get-together will be smaller than I anticipated when I suggested it.
Come one, come all, to the best party around. :-)

Don't make jokes about this.

There is a fellow that we have worked with in the past from DEC named
Dick Long.

Ninj has to do a database conversion on Saturday.  His workmates elected to
do it Saturday rather than over the weekend of the 4th.  So there is no
party.

I'm really upset, because I was looking forward to a game of full contact
Yahtzee with all comers.....8^)

    preoccupation with cheese whiz....
    
    She said da ninj was really apologetic, over and over again and he felt
    pretty bad over cancelling.
