What, you suddenly became illiterate... he clearly said that fully 1/3
of the people were no shows. And I truly believe we aren't hearing
all the details because a 10 pound bone-in shank half will not feed
even twenty people... there must have been a lot of extra food of all
kinds due to those 1/3 no shows. Since it was a pot luck twenty
people brought more food than was needed, maybe even a couple brought
hams, they were probably all pigged out. We're not hearing an
*honest* account because we aren't being told what else was brought to
eat... we are getting a very biased account... we'll never know the
truth, we weren't there, weren't even any pictures. I think this was
from beginning to end another one of those total BS threads,
borderline keyboard kookery. Barb, I know that you always offer
pictures of your special projects. I don't believe any rfc'er who
refuses to show photo images of what they claim was a special event.
It wouldn't have been difficult to snap a few pics of the food laid
out... there's been a lot more gum flapping than substance, somehow I
don't believe there was any potluck, it was all a booze induced dream.
Show me that ham on the table with all the other viands, only than
will I believe. I think most folks here are so full of doodoo they
leave brown stains on their pillows from their ears. And your comment
was uncalled for because I would have cooked up a big batch of baked
beans to go with that ham. I really don't believe any of what zxcvbob
posts, I think his posts are all drug induced fantasy, they are as
real as his name and his picture at the rfc mugs... bob is NOT a
person's name, it's a haircut.

Two years later, they probably got hungry and went home anyway.

You didn't even ask a question. BTW, this is 2014, not 2011.

But Ed! We're supposed to be available to answer every Google Grouper
who stumbles upon RFC during a search.
