It is easy, by the way I love your perfume. Personally, I think it's best to be drinking around those water trucks, they are scary!

1. I put sand in their knickers when they're not looking. If they scream, they're out. If they ask for another margarita, they're in.
2. I plan to meet them at a certain time, but then arrive a half hour late, at the wrong place, and smell suspiciously. If they stay and don't kill me, they're in.
3. While driving with them in the passenger seat, I pretend to stop in the middle of the road to: take photos, move for a water truck, or talk to my friends. If they get irritated, they're out. If they have an unexplainable urge to have a drink in their hand, they're in.
4. I coat myself in several layers of sunscreen and Deep Woods OFF and then rub salt on myself. If they still want to hug me, they're in.
5. Finally, I take them out on a really hot day, give them a fair share of water, beer, and rum, make sure they've gotten some sun, possibly attempt to get them on a rocking boat, make them climb no less than fifteen steep hills in flip-flops and then take them to have a $5 cheeseburger/fish sandwich/salad/slice of pizza that actually costs $12. If they eat it and declare it the best food on Earth, they're in
That's precious. I love #2!Posted: Tue Jun 09, 2009 11:18 am
All they have is an urge? I don't travel with an urge; I travel with a half-gallon travel mug of painkillers!LMG wrote: 3.

Seriously, though, it's a great pre-screen. I think I will steal those and add one of my own: The Kenny test.
Basically, if they say the word "Kenny" and they're not talking about my buddy at Quiet Mon, they don't get to go. And God help them if they start asking questions about the little singing man.

Oh, and P.S. because I forgot the part of my post that was my actual reply to the post.
What I did last year with our group (which was one newbies and some return folks although we hadn't ever gone as a group before) was sent them e-postcards with different sites each week and some sort of message. For example, the hammock at Soggy Dollar with a note that said "I'll arm wrestle you for the hammock." Just something to get them in the mood.
Of course, I also had them read Rick G's list for newbies and a few other things around the forum I thought they needed to know!
