There are 4 kids at this BBQ right and people have any expectations? They'll have a good time, maybe say they'll do it again but he'll get ####-blocked by the youngsters.
Don't confuse this guy with Em. This guy is bringing the gun show to the BBQ that is being attended by a horny divorced woman. Em will be alone in a basement all day today getting high, playing video games, and debating his latest FF draft.
Em, my comments were just made in fun. You know you are still one of my favorite posters. However, you have to admit that you have not had a lot of luck with the ladies.
I can see it all now, this is gonna be just like last summer. NRJ fell in love with that girl at the Fotomat, bought forty dollars worth of ####in' film, and never even talked to her.

Maybe they were talking about the weather this upcoming week, and NRJ said something like, "I heard it's going to rain on Wednesday." And she replies with, "That's okay. I love the rain."
Probably was a deal breaker for our hero. Poor guy. We feel your pain.
tl;dr; it went very well and possible playdate tomorrow (for the kids)
I battled nature most of the afternoon, as it has been ungodly hot the last few days and the red wasps were out in force for some reason today. I didn't have time to put the first one's head on a toothpick so I just went guns (spray) blazing and wore their asses out.
Our heroine and her girls showed up about 5pm, after my son and I had gotten pretty much everything set up. I don't have a particularly 'gathering friendly' backyard, but I got out a fan, some music, some citronella candles to try and keep any stray bugs at bay, set up chairs, and backed up my truck to drop the tailgate for a few extra seats, and it really just felt like a tailgating atmosphere.
I was wearing khaki shorts, (gray) Saints t-shirt, and (black/gray) Saints cap, and black and gray Nikes, my usual casual attire for Sundays in the fall. She was wearing a black spaghetti strap type top with some skin tight jeans, and fashionable sandals. She looked absolutely gorgeous.
I had some lawn darts (not the sharp pointy kind, didn't want any bloodshed) set up, and several scooters out to ride. The kids started playing, so we chatted a bit and then I got the grill fired up. Fast forward a bit and the food was ready and she and I fix our plates, and my kids do the same. Hers weren't interested in eating. They were too busy exploring my back yard. She says they may not even eat. One has a food allergy, and so she's tentative to eat a lot of times, which I understand. They did eventually snack on a few things I had sitting out, including some chocolate chip cookies I had baked earlier in the afternoon.
So kids are having a blast and basically entertaining themselves most of the evening, and she and I sat on the tailgate talking and laughing at the kids most of that time. We talked hometowns, and siblings and last names, and I picked on her a few times when the opportunities arose. Plenty of laughs and smiles. We did join the kids for a few games. I grabbed one of our old teeball bats and showed her little one how to hit my son's swing trainer. Then my son and I were playing lawn darts and our heroine walked by and I said "here, your turn" and handed her the darts. She said "my turn??" but did not hesitate to take the darts, and stepped up and threw a dead-center bullseye on the first throw. I of course accused her of sharking us all, which she got a kick out of.
And that's pretty much how the evening went. Games and chitchat and laughs. The way a backyard BBQ meet and greet should go, IMO. Before they ever got ready to leave, her girls were already asking about coming back to play tomorrow, and she says "I'm sure we'll see them tomorrow."
I asked her if they had big plans for the holiday tomorrow and she said no not really, just had to go grocery shopping and do a few things around the house. I threw out there that we didn't really have plans either and were talking about going to the zoo and/or trampoline park, and asked if they might be interested in joining us. She said yes, that would probably be great, provided that she could get her shopping and chores done. So I said ok, cool, we'll check with you tomorrow then and see what you guys are up to.
I run inside and bring out a couple of half-dollars (I've amassed a collection of them, and thought they probably hadn't seen one before) and a couple of key chain-bracelets from my workplace for her girls. They were all smiles.
It is well after dark now, about 9:30, and her little one is starting to wind down, so she gathers her troops and they tell us thank you for having them over. My son and I walked them back out to the front and over to their yard, and said goodnight, then we went back and took things inside, right as it begins to sprinkle. Perfect timing.
