       So i survived the charity event for abused children.  And actually had a good time.  The only downside was the abundance of snobby rich people.  Sheesh.  And i'm not sure having a comedian who told jokes about the trials and tribulations of kids (ie ".. you just wait till your father gets home tonight!") was their best choice of entertainment.  

       i was at a table full of coworkers who were a blast.  i don't think we stopped laughing the whole time we were there.  Food was excellent, and me, who never wins anything, actually won a nice beaded tunic in the silent auction.  Figures.  i win something i have to pay for.  Ah well.  It was for a cause that i can truly endorse and i'd love to go again next year.

      One of the fellows at our table (senior level wage earner) won the bid for a vintage vespa.  Hmm, i should have asked him what year it was.  Anyway, a helmet and the leather bike cover came with it.  And because the helmet was a half helmet, i started teasing him about it really being called a "lid".  The next day at work he came looking for me, and the first thing he starts talking about is his "lid".  Very funny!

      So then he says maybe he should be joining a gang and names a few, to which i advise which one would be better.  And then advise that he should put the term "dilligaf" on the back of his lid.  He'd never heard of it.  And blushed a lot when i described.  i may have gone over the top on that one (oops).  

      So this morning i decided to see what google would offer for the term and found the following:

      There's a bunch more - some really strange stuff actually.  And it must be truly spring now - i'm talking about biker stuff again.  Heh.
