Always grateful for your help, Wolfgang -- and you'll be paid handsomely, too.

I thought we could continue discussing the catering in detail here without cluttering up the conversation in the salon.

What are your ideas?

I'm thinking tasteful yet fun. Since you have offered the CLI bots to assist, we can do kicky things like canapes and desserts in interesting shapes. For example, cookies in the shape of Mother Goose characters. Perhaps you could get me a list of ideas of things that will represent past happenings in the salon. It would be great to have things that represent each of the regulars. We'll ~not~ do Kelli in a wedding dress. Marv with a paintball gun, that sort of thing.

How about a giant ice sculpture of something?

Do you want hot food, too?

Hot foods -- how about something to represent each of the nationalities/regions of the salonistas? I 'd have to make sure not to forget anyone.

USA
New England - Sporky, Witty, d'E
Southwest - you, Lentilla, Irv, Gw7en, MR(?)
Midwest - FG, me
West - MR(?), Amy, Marv, GDZ
Canada
England
Scotland
Wales
Northern Ireland
Ireland
Isle of Man
Sweden
Denmark
Japan

Who have I forgotten?

A nod to Russia via Solnushka, and Hati's been part of us in the past, so Estonia too.

You said ice sculpture and what did I think of? Oetzi. I am a wicked person.

Germany. We have Bel and what's his name. The croupier.

We sort of need something to represent old Oetzi. He created more havoc than about anyone. What a chicken dinner winner he was. Letting him melt away to nothing is tempting.

There is a back terrace adjacent to the exhibition area ( http://www.bonitovalley.com/h2g2/aplanbig.htm ): if we set up a row of barbecue thangs, could we serve steak, chicken and so forth fresh from the grill?

And I say we ice Oetzi and watch him melt.
