I meant Julie McCoy in a very manly, skirt, uh, kilt-wearing social director kind of way. I mean Julie McCoy wouldn’t actually have [hairy pecs and a treasure trail](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=100925), would she? I didn’t mean the crackho’ Julie McCoy, either.
The only problem with **DopeToYourDoor** is the banners might cause some trouble with the local constabulary.

I vote for DopeToYourDoor 🙂
Anyway, I’m in Indianapolis and would love to join you if DopeToYourDoor swings through the lovely Circle City. I’m happy to think about where to have lunch and make the arrangements, or even (GULP!) host pizza and beverages or the like at my house.

Great. I can see it now…
_…Fade to December, 15th, a bright and crisp winter’s morn. **Rue DeDay** , **Zappo** and **ShibbOleth** are cruising down I-75 southbound, just past Erlanger. A strange chorus of “Mama Mia! Here I go again, my my, how can I resist you!!” comes from both the cars speakers and the three happy Dopers, on their quest. Just then Shibb notices the flashing blue lights in the rear view mirror. Shibb eases the car to the side of the road. A Kentucky State Trooper in reflective shades walks up to the driver’s side window…_
ShibbOleth: Good morning, officer, what seems to be the problem?
KSTrooper: Sir, please place your hands on the steering wheel…
ShibbOleth: Sure, no problem. What’s this all about?
Rue DeDay and Zappo: _…My, my, just how much I’ve missed you!_
KSTrooper: Is this your car, Sir?
ShibbOleth: It’s my wife’s, I don’t have any ABBA CDs. Was I going to fast?
KSTrooper: Sir, I want you to reach very slowly over into the glove compartment and show me the registration. Keep your hands where I can see them at all times…
Zappo: Hey, he doesn’t have to show you a damned thing, I’m his lawyer.
Rue DeDay: _…Just one look and I could hear a bell ring…Just one look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh!!_
ShibbOleth: Shut up, Zappo! I don’t have anything to hide.
:: ShibbOleth reaches slowly into the glove compartment with his right hand and ruffles through to find the registration… ::
\*…a few moments later… \*
ShibbOleth: I’m sorry, it doesn’t seem to be in there.
:: curses Mrs. ShibbOleth under his breath ::
Rue DeDay: _…Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted! Blue, since the day we parted, why, why, did I ever let you go!!_
Zappo: Screw him, don’t let the man push you around!
KSTrooper: Sir, I’m going to have to ask you step out of the car. Slowly, please keep both of your hands in sight.
:: ShibbOleth slows opens the door and complies… his mind races trying to figure out what he did wrong… was only driving the speed limit, wasn’t changing lanes, maybe I was weaving a bit while we were singing?.. ::
Rue DeDay: _…Mama Mia! It’s a game we play, bye bye, doesn’t mean forever…_
ShibbOleth: I know I wasn’t driving that fast…
KSTrooper: Sir, please place your hands on top of the vehicle. That’s right, keep them apart.
:: Trooper kicks Shibb’s legs a bit back and apart so that he can’t remove his hands quickly from the top of the CR-V without falling to the ground. Then he expertly pats Shibb down…::
KSTrooper: Sir, we have a tip that this vehicle is carrying Dopers. Are you familar with the phrase “ **DopeToYourDoor**?” Would you allow me to search the vehicle?
Rue DeDay: _…Mama Mia! Does it show again? My my, just how much I’ve missed you…_
ShibbOleth: I’m sorry, this must be some kind of misunderstanding. We’re all grown, responsible men with families.
:: notices Kentucky State Trooper eyeing Rue and Zappo with a mixture of suspicion and derision over the top of the reflective Raybans ::
ShibbOleth: At least I am. I’m not so sure about Zappo. He’s the belligerent one, I think he may have been kicked out, I mean dropped out of Law School.
Rue DeDay: _…Mama Mia, now I really know, my my, I could never let you go…_
KSTrooper: Sir, has that one (nods towards Rue) been using drups?
ShibbOleth: No sir, he’s always kind of like that. At least I don’t think so.
KSTrooper: Sir, you can allow me to search the vehicle, and I’ll go easy on you (as he mentally notes the boxes of little Debbie snack cakes literring the floor of the CR-V) or we can have a warrant to authorize the search of your vehicle here in 20 minutes. Which means we both have to wait and I promise you, I will do a _very_ thorough search at that time. Do you understand me, sir?
ShibbOleth: All right, go ahead. I don’t have anything to hide…
:: ShibbOleth wonders, belatedly, exactly _what_ is in the Flan of Peace… ::

Woo woo!! We have a name and a date! (But _I_ like **OKIDopeFest** , and _I_ thought it was on the 8th…) This way, though, I can get my Secret Doper Santa Gift out a little earlier. And maybe go shopping for pants. There’ll be break-in time now. Maybe I should get my ears waxed, maybe just a trim, it’s hard to say.
If **think** is making the trip with us, rather than meeting us in Louisville (But can we still stay at your place? If “yes” you still get Flan, if “no”, well, you’ve been warned.) the car will be all full. How will we kidnap… I mean persuade the lovely **Elle** n (of the Brown Eyes) to join us? Eh, the things we do for Dope.
You know, if we swing through Castleton in Indy, we can eat at the Red Robin.
“Why should I care?” you ask? They have these cheeseburgers with scrambled egg on it. That’s the whole reason. Not as much a draw as meeting the real live **Shibb** and **think** , not to mention the effervescent **Zap**. (Really, he fizzes if you pour water on him.)
And I get to be Captain Picard! Cool! (“Make it so, Number One! And roll down your window Number Two!”) Oh yeah, baby, this’ll be sweet! So does this mean no balloon animals are called for? And do I really have to learn ABBA songs? Anything for the team.
-Rue.

I’ll have you all know that I’m pouting in a jealous stew. **I wanna ride with youse guys!!!**
Hey, if I give you my home phone number, do you think you could all call my hubby and persuade him that I would be perfectly safe with you? **Zap** , how are your powers of persuasion?? **Rue** , maybe you could bribe him with a Flan o’Peace?? [sub]tho he wasn’t too impressed with the last flan I made[/sub] **Shibb** , aren’t you wholesome and all that? Can you come up with something that my spouse will buy?!?
\
It’s not fair!!! I wanna ride along!

I’m just a hop, skip, and a jump away from **AskNott**. I live in the wonderful town of Muncie. If the Indiana part was held in Indianapolis somewhere I should be able to make it down there on Sunday, heck I’ll even through in a lurker and bring **kremit334** with me.

Mmmm… jealous stew. With extra carrots.
What? A point? Oh yeah… **Snickers** aren’t you a _grown up_? You can do anything you want. (It’s not like you’re some _kid_, like **Jester**. The baby.) Use your feminine wiles on **FairyChatHubby** , you wiley femin, you. If that doesn’t work, cut him off. “No nookie for you, bub, if I can’t go play with my friends.”
Hmm… maybe fomenting Domestic Unrest isn’t in everyone’s best interest. Well, that’s all I got. And you’re welcome to it.
Maybe you could bring the old stick-in-the-mud with you. He’ll see what a jolly crew we are and just love us to pieces. And your kid, you could bring your kid. Naw, that’s just getting silly.
-Rue.

Alas, I am a little too far north to be within the circle of greatness that will be **DopetoYourDoor**. Shameful, really. I probably qualify as a shybie, as suggested in the OP, and would love to witness first hand this delightfully insane micro-society you guys inhabit. Maybe you’d make a special trip up this way to Toledo to break me in? After all, Rue **did** say I I was [hot](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=101290), and I’ll make cookies…
::batting eyelashes::
Seriously–I’m definitely riding the jealousy bandwagon with **FairyChatMom** here. My need for a vacation has drained my available sanity reserves to dangerously low levels. ::twitch, twitch::
You guys have fun, be safe, and throw a little reflected glory my way as you’re scooting around down there in Cinci.

Ooh, I want in! I’d love to make the whole trip, too, but I don’t think there’d be room in the car.

**Supe** , it’s not the same, seeing how it’s completely different, but you could get more Doping in if you met us in Lexington. Then we could caravan back to Louisville. And just so you feel like you’re part of the whole she-bang, you can stay in touch with those little walkie-talkie jobbies. You know, the ones with the 2 mile range. (Channel 13 is the DopeChannel. Code word: Underpants.) We might even throw one of our passengers over to you. Maybe even me if your are incautious enough.
But the whole point of this is to _travel_. Dope from place to place. The actual passing of distance is just a nuisance. We won’t have any fun on the actual road. I’m sure. Really. No fun at _all._
You could host the Loo-eyDope while you wait for us. Bask in all the glory of Hosting. Plus there’s the Host’s Incentive (that I’m sure I don’t have to go into again).

SWEET! And by December 14, I’ll be done with finals, and all set to get my drink on. I’m in. And I’m in Indy. Can I play the part of a lovelorn Viking?

Oh, **Rue** , you flatter me. Which I suppose is better than flattening me. Or fattening me. I mean, what? Are you planning on throwing me in an oven and cooking me? Is that it? So you think that I’m just some roly-poly little fat kid here for your dining pleasure? That I ain’t got nuttin’ better to do that be cooked in an oven so that you can eat me? THAT…I…SHOULD SPIN ON SOME SORT OF A…ROTISSERIE SO THAT YOU CAN GET ALL WIDE-EYED AND DROOLING WHILE THINKING ABOUT SINKING YOUR TEETH INTO MY FLESH?[sub]Man, I’ve gotta stop watching Goodfellas[/sub]
Anyway, **Rue**. I couldn’t possibly host. I have not yet snatched that pebble from Master[sub]bator[/sub] **thinksnow** ’s grubby little paw.
