I'll host the Texas Holem'/Poker Night. I have the whole set up, table, chairs, chips and cards. Of course we will have to make it somewhat interesting such as a redistribution entrance fee of some sort and then the top 3 or 4 winners get to share in that redistribution. I know O'bamas plan would be to give it to the losers but Homey here don't play that way. Pete said he would supply a variety of Micro Brews for our pleasure! I will supply the Crown and Diet Coke for those non-carb drinkers! Of course, I have no idea who will be here on Halloween weekend to participate. It may just be me and Pete.

I like a bunch of the other ideas also...expecially the ones that have Beer in them.

Woo hoo, we're in. Our set up is not really mobile...but that's cool if you have the space to bring yours! Do you all play anything other than Texas Hold 'Em? We usually like to mix it up by playing hands like...follow the queen, no peek, 7 card roll your own, baseball, low/high chicago, jack are better tripps to win etc.

Just FYI...if you're an early riser....I'll be behind the 300 loop most mornings fishing...unless my kids decide to suddenly become rope drop fans....yeah right!!!!

Hmmmm, I wonder if I know anyone who could keep you company?

 

[4mickey2]

Yes - chocolatini's!!!

We used to do these things when I was in the Army during the Civil War called progressive dinners - go from one quarters to another and have a different course at each house.

 

[CelticWoman]

how about a scavenger hunt?.....we do them for Mousefest and its a blast...we do them with a camera and a list of things to find at a location...would be easy for the Fort!!!

I'll see you there.

My kid will be up at the crack of lunch. yeah maybe.

 

[2goofycampers]

Mini Golf ?

 

[4mickey2]

forget the mini golf. let's go golfing. i know there would be enough of us out there that really never have gone and with disney having quite a few professionals using their course, we could see how long it takes us to get kicked out .

just think we would all have golf carts, too. hmmmmmm, bumper carts in the sand pit??

Somehow I think that is going to be a crowded location during that time.

 

[lisa8200]

Me, Rog, Jeff and Frank ( not to mention anyone else from our group or the fort in general ) I see tangled lines and fish tales galore...AWESOME..

Deb...Id have never thought it...but we have some otters here near my house in Louisiana!!!! I was fishing the other night at Lake Pontchartrain, and there was NOTHING biting at all except for an otter who kept very slyly and carefully stealing the shrimp right off of my hook.....he was soooo good at it that I never even felt him tugging at the line. I noticed him after the second time...once the pier lights finally came on I could see him....he would sit at the surface and watch me.....watch where my cast would go...dive under and reappear about 2 minutes later in a completely different spot and wait for me to reel in, re-bait, and recast...then that little booger would do it again!!! I didnt mind...in fact....he was fun to play this game with...after almos an hour of this, and about $4.00 worth of jumbo shrimp, I guess he got full because he stopped playing and dissappeared. This was the very first time Ive seen an otter in Louisiana...and less than five minutes from my house!!!!

Maybe the otters followed you home from the fort Heard you had lots of beer.

Ah, yes Rog! That would have been Wynottah's cousin, Whattabottah Ottah!!! We're slowly working him to the beer stealing level. I'm glad he's learned to be so stealthy!! He has expensive taste, so if you use crickets or worms, you won't see him. He dun love dat jumbo srimp!!! Have Gina make him a pot o' gumbo & you might have another critter in the house!!

Now, you understand my love of otters!! They are such sneaky little things!!! I love raccoon's too! Clever little bandits - those raccoons!!
