A Picnic is a good place to have a discussion as well,
All sorts of Picnics, Teddy Bear's picnics, Children's Picnics, Growed up's Picnics, even Posh Picnics
All about Picnics

Here is a picnic lunch from the August 2012 Challenge.
I remember that one!

It's an American holiday, so only the Americans really qualify.
Surely we can share our love for food with the whole world!
Dana
Picnics are not merely American. First mentioned way back in 1692 in France. Teddy bears picnic was written by a British composer. Picnics are mentioned in Jane Austin's Emma. Charles dickens also refers to them as does Kenneth Grahame in Wind in the Willows.
It could even be said that this refererred to a picnic
LOL... ~ thows an "American" apple pie at Dorsey ~
edit: that's funny - the block quotes are not working like they're supposed to. Dorsey - did you break the forum again?
Okay then, let's proclaim August International Picnic Month! As Cho pointed out, there are plenty of historical and literary presidents as examples. I mean, come on! There are even picnics on Mars! Ray Bradbury said so...
I have enjoyed picnics in several different countries, as do ants everywhere. Have not been to Mars as yet, however.
I merely meant that, since it's an American holiday month, only Americans qualify to be OUT TO LUNCH. (And they're GOOD at it!)
STILL JUST KIDDING!
Skywalker, hi! I swear I had nothing to do with breaking the forums. I did plenty of dancing around yesterday trying to figure out how the quote function works. Rule of thumb: avoid if possible.
Hopefully the quote thingummy has been fixed now
yup it's fixed...
All right, Dorsey, you have been cleared!

BTW, don't forget to have your say in the Challenge questionaire thread
Be careful what you ask for!
Thanks Sky
