This year was one which showed the true strength of our growing event. Practically everyone had to travel to Dallas this year. The King flew in from Cincy, the Duke from Indiana, El Gato was still wandering around Texas somewhere, the SLEAZY WOMAN stopped through on her way from California to Indiana, and the Abbot stopped by Indianapolis to pick up Tom and Lara Daly. Pat and Kay even stopped by for a quick drink on their way back to San Antonio.
For reasons that have since become lost, the King and Duke were obsessing about Fu, as in Joe-Bob's Drive In totals type of Fu. Thus the King came up with what is probably the funniest t-shirt design yet, Dyngus Fu.
Once again the entertainment consisted of playing several rounds of Royal Croquet Chess, mixed with good food, fine beer, and excellent company.
This year 2 more peasants were elevated to peerage with the presentation of titles. The new members of the clan are The Wuss Bird and The Grand Inquisitrix.
The pages that follow contain some of the more memorable moments of the day.
Here the King is lining up a shot during Royal Croquet Chess. Note the
use of Dyngus Fu that allows him
to balance his beer, hang on to the camera and still play on.
Two more recently inducted members of the clan,
El Gato and
The SLEAZY WOMAN, play nicely for a photo op.
Kris and Dayan start to get into the party. They are proudly representing
either the University of Oklahoma or Raytheon, we're not sure which.
