So as many of you know, Brian is quite creative when coming up with excuses for not going to OR events.  The Cleveland IMS show is coming up and it occurred to me that he might be running out of ideas. So this thread is a place we can all add excuses for him to use. He can easily bookmark it and refer back to it in the future. They don't need to be IMS specific.   I have a couple:     1) The dog ate my tickets to the IMS show so I can't go. 2) I found a great deal on a bike/Vette/Top Gun Poster
