If you drive down, pick me up, drive me up there, and drive me back home again .... sure ... I'll even make you a cheeseburger (and Kow has had one of my cheeseburgers, so he knows how good they are).
I am actually only joking about driving down and back ... but I would make you a cheeseburger.

The truth about how Simoof died.
"...and that's when they killed Simoof."
The storyteller raised his glass in the silence and drained it, setting it empty back on the bar.
It was quickly replaced with a full one, and he smiled, reaching for it.
The story wasn't true. Simoof hadn't died a heroic death, but the false ending always got him a few drinks, so he didn't mind lying at all.
Actually he had tripped whilst running and bashed his head on a chair. He was trampled to death by the hordes of rampaging Susan Boils fans rushing to get to the front of the stage.

Getting my order in early
I could possibly manage a Drabble meet-up. But it would be an orange juice for me. I'd be most likely driving.

Via where I live? I'd make you a cheeseburger! ... ask Psykokow how good they are
I'm in Cambridge, so while a meet-up would be fun, it's not looking likely :/
If you could detour via Torbay, Frank, I'd vote for all your drabbles and make you a mammoth burger

I'll be heading in from the east of Scotland... sorry.
I don't even know if I'll manage down south for LaveCon.

My God! Torbay, that's... South! <wow>
You must be hot being so close to the Equator as you are.
@Frank
It's actually been cloudy all day, but, quite hot too
Hope you've been scaring the locals with a bit of sun-bathing

Sooo ... not even for a cheeseburger :sniff:
Is DocStone trying to bring me back out into the open with such an enticing theme this week?
The option to kill Simoof with words, over and over again.
Resistance is futile.

Well with the offers of cheeseburgers and mammoth burgers to go with the potato who could resist! I'm up for it.
What's that? The food producers aren't going to make the short journey up. Pah! Who needs 'em, liquid lunches all round then
Frank can you train it? I'm half way along the Edi to Gla mainline

"Only enough oxygen for three of us to make it back to the station," said Erik.
...and that's when they killed Simoof.

Simoof froze, the robbery gone wrong. His mistake got team members killed, then the police turned their weapons on him.
...and that's when they killed Simoof.

The medical nanobots malfunctioned while fixing the plasma burn.
...and that's when they killed Simoof.

The zombie horde was overwhelming. The group needed a distraction. Midden hobbled Simoof with a quick hamstring.
...and that's when they killed Simoof.

He made that annoying sound in TeamSpeak again.

Erik's back! (Yeah)
If he can do five off the top of his head, I'd better at least do one.
Good to see you back Erik

I always knew Simoof was a Cylon from the 2004 version of Battlestar Galactica

Whoopee!
.
Frank and Doc Stone sat with an inconsolable Psykokow in the Thargoide and Fer-de-Lance.
"I didn't think he'd take it so hard," said Frank. "After all it was his mammoth."
"Yes, but it was Simoof who trained it to sit on the whoopee cushion." replied Doc
"Everyone thought it was funny super-bonding the cushion to Simoof though, that was when....." Frank trailed off.
"He's still got a smile on his face," mused Doc "But now it's as thin as his flattened sound-box."
"Thats why he's so upset," Frank sighed "It wasn't an electronic sound-box, "Wee Jimmy Krankie" lived in there."

Sweet Taboo (or Tammy's revenge)
They welcomed us like we were gods. The tribe were survivors of some long forgotten colony, sent out before the frame shift drive had been invented. Lacking contact with civilisation, they had reverted to a primitive agrarian society and created their own religion. They worshipped the local volcano, Mount Tammy. Every day they would leave an offering of a kind of sweet biscuit, like shortbread, that they called Sharted. Suddenly the friendly atmosphere was broken with anguished, angry cries of 'Tammy Sharted!' Someone had eaten the offering. They dragged the culprit to the village and that's when they killed Simoof.

The nearest station from Auchtermuchty is around 5 miles. If I have to hop on my bike to get there I might as well ride it all the way to Glasgow. Thanks for the offer though.
It's all academical if I can't make it anyway. This weekend's too hectic for me. And then there's LaveCon. Are we thinking maybe the week after LaveCon?.. or later than that?
Probably the best day for me would be Saturday 25th. The weekends before that are out for me.
