Default NoVA Brunch

As a test to see how many readers of CF SE forum there are, let's see how many people will show at Hopsfrogs tomorrow at 1100 for a free (yes, I'll pay!) brunch tomorrow. The only criteria for the free brunch is that you have to be there prior to 11:00 EDT, and show up in a Corvette (as in no other cars/vans/etc. permitted).

Ben, Ben, Ben....
The lure of free food is a powerful attractant.
11 am will be a challenge to see if Margaret can roll out of the sack in time. I have been told the brunch there is a favorite of the bear's, so I'm gonna make a mighty effort to get there in time with or without
CINCHOME.
See ya there!

Geez Rob, if Ben's LPE is " very very slow", then I'd hate to think about how far down the food chain I am!
How to convince Margaret to let me get the Maggie?? Hmmmm...
