"No, Nathan, I'm sorry, I can't go to the strip club with you tonight." Charles looked up from his laptop and immediately regretted it. It didn't exactly look like he'd just told the lead singer of Dethklok that there was no Santa Claus. No, the expression in Nathan's eyes looked more like Charles had just told him that the Easter Bunny really exists, and had shown up that very evening at Mordhaus, and Charles had just personally chased him from away by hurling colorfully decorated hard boiled eggs at him, without letting Nathan take at least one crack at the retreating Lagomorph with his shotgun.

"What's so important?" Nathan demanded.

"I am expected at a dinner party tonight with some of Ganesh's relatives."

"Oh. So Ganesh is going."

"Yes, Ganesh will be there."

"And Lady Raz."

"Yes, Lady Raziel and King Wotan will be there as well."

Nathan glowered.

"Look," Charles reasoned, "is there no one else you could go out with tonight?"

"Skwisgaar is BUSY."

"Yeah. We have Skwisgaar doing something important for us. But, he'll be done soon."

"And Pickles is visiting Aaron."

"Uh-huh. And what about Toki?"

"The twins."

"Wait, they're still going...? No, forget it, never mind." Charles sighed. "And Murderface..."

"And Knubbler. Yeah."

Charles closed his laptop. "OK, Nathan, here is what I think we should do. When Skwisgaar is done with what he's doing, and before you guys start recording again, because I ASSUME you got all your new songs written already...."

Nathan muttered something unintelligible.

"We'll go somewhere. Together. Just us. OK? Like when we all went on the ski trip."

"Oh, yeah, that was AWESOME!"

"Well, I'd like you to think about where you wanna go. Can you do that?"

"It's gotta be totally BRUTAL! There should be gods and monsters there!"

"OK."

"And, it'll be an exotic place that we've never seen before!"

"All right."

"And, I can ride a horse!"

"Yep."

"And there will be BEER!"

"Beer, yes."

"And plenty of women! With huge TITS!"

"Sounds good."

"And vegetarian entrees."

"And.... What?"

"You're gonna take Ganesh dude right?"

"Uh, I guess...."

"He doesn't eat meat! That makes him a VEGETARIAN," Nathan helpfully explained.

"OK. Well. That's very thoughtful...."

"Maybe we'll take Jean-Pierre. He makes that vegetarian crap. And Lady Raz likes his chocolate chip cookies."

"Well, we could do...."

"And we'll have to take along the creepy twins."

"Uh, yeah?"

"Because we need someone to watch Aaron for Pickles when he goes and PARTIES with us."

"Ah, good thought."

"Can I ask Hon? He might introduce me to his cousin. She's supposed to be HOT."

"That should be...."

"This should be AWESOME! This is our best idea ever. Just like old times! Just us! Just the seventeen of us!"

"Yeah. Just the.... Yeah," said Charles, who was trying to surreptitiously count on his fingers.

"You'll remember this all, right?" Nathan asked, rising to go.

"Vegetarian entrees. And, uh, tits."

"Vegetarian entrees and tits!" Nathan boomed. "METAL!" And he departed.

"Well," mused Charles, opening his laptop, "I don't believe I've ever heard it phrased exactly that way before."
