I’d definitely like to meet up for the Cincinnati stopover if nothing else. I was so dissapointed to miss the OhDope on halloween but I had to stay home after my pup made his suicide attempt and was in doggie hospital. (he’s all better now though) So what day is the Cincinnati dinner? [sub]Do you think it would be innappropriate for me to wear my halloween costume that I didn’t get to wear the first time?[/sub] ---

In fact, I’d be willing to drive to Cincy just to see it. ---

I have to be in Ft. Wayne on the 16th for a family Christmas! Oh man… I REALLLLLLY wanted to be in on this! I was gonna suggest we visit the Make-A-Bear store in Castleton (think Cousin Balki accent - Cast-ley-tohn) and all chip in for a mascot for the OKIDopers to take home… Mebbe we can try something like this again after the holidays? ☹ ☹ ☹ ☹ ---

I’m in, I’m in! Actually, the weekend of the 14th works out for me better than the 8th anyway. I can take that Friday and Monday off, so I’m game for the festivities. **Medea’s Child** , email me! If you’re in Pittsburgh I’m definitely willing to pick ya up as I rocket across our glorious Commonwealth. It just wouldn’t be the same without yoouuu. . .please do join us for some good old wholsome debauchery and Flan of Peace. And I’m making reservations now for any Dopefest that **Sophie’s** a part of. Zap! Trying to decide if this road trip merits the Amazing Colossal Eight-Passenger Oldsmobile or the Anonymous Four-Door Taurus of Doom (with antenna ornament by **rocking chair**!) ---

**Shibb** , c’mere a second. . . You made me Leland MacKenzie? Leland Frickin’ MacKenzie?!? That’s the best you can do? Man, if I gotta bail your scurgy ABBA-listenin’ butt out of jail in states where I ain’t even admitted to practice I don’t wanna be Leland ferchrissakes MacKenzie! I would prefer to be Arnie Becker, or maybe the lawyer that was played by Harry Hamlin (whathehell was his name again?) or maybe Dan Fielding. Yeah, that’s it. . .Dan Fielding. My spiritual hero. And if **Sophie** makes it I want her to play Christine the public defender. OK, so Markie Post was a blonde and not a redhead. I can deal with it. Such are the sacrifices we make for our art. **FairyChatMom** , you can be Roz the bailiff. I always liked Roz. She’s cool. And tough. [sub]That’s right, Miss Bailiff Lady, I’m outta order. Whatcha gonna do about it? rowrrrrrrr. . .[/sub] Zap! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Zappo \* > \*\ ***Shibb** , c’mere a second. . . > > You made me Leland MacKenzie? > [/sub] > > Zap! \*\* It was the only TV lawyer name I could think of on the spur of the moment. And that after thinking hard on the subject. I wanted someone ornery. I was wrong. You _are_ Dan Fielding. Down to the “undressing her with his eyes” glances. [sub]It could have been worse. I could have made YOU Julie McCoy. Sorry again, thinksnow! [/sub] And, IIRC, **Sophie** is blonde or strawberry blonde, so she can do the Markie Post thing. Although Charlize Theron really was patterned after her. Also, I think **FairyChatMom** is a redhead. Rrrowwwrrr! [sub]Oops, I’m not allowed to do that with FCM. That was directed at Sophie.[/sub] ---

My natural color is light brown, or dark blond when I get lots of sun time. But you can growl at me if you want to - I learned to live with my irresistability years ago. 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Zappo \* > **Yeah, that’s it. . .Dan Fielding. My spiritual hero.** John Larroquette _is_ Dan Fielding. He and I share a birthday. Just a bit of trivia. Me, Johnny, Ricardo Montalbon and Christina Applegate. There you go. Also, I think it’s odd **Politzania** and I are never in the same room at the same time. Maybe one of us is Spiderman and one of us is Peter Parker. I vote to be the non-tights-wearing one. Maybe she’s just avoiding me… To keep with the _Star Trek_ theme, **Zap** could be the lawyer-guy from the Old Series who defended Kirk that one time. He was Icepick on _Magnum P.I._ and Wilmer in _The Maltese Falcon_. I don’t know the character’s name (or the actor’s name come to that), but I’m sure someone will chime in with the proper answer. And right soon too. I have no Star Trek equivalent for Julie McCoy, so that leaves **think** high and dry. -Rue. I put on my **Duck[sup]2[/sup] Goose** shoes and did a Google search. It was Elisha Cook, Jr. and the character’s name was Samuel T. Cogley. There’s a fine lawyering name: Samuel T. Cogley. It takes a finer grade of Trek Geek than me to come up with the Julie McCoy analog. Sorry **think**. ---

Wait…that might not be the best way to make my point… Anyway, I regret to say that, once again, I have to miss a Dopefest due to my parents being all freakish about “the internet peoples!” The Jestermobile will sadly stay in its garage this trip (and YES, Rue, the garage has a new door). It’s really a damn shame, because my Christmas break starts on the 14th, so I wouldn’t have school or nothin. Still, have fun without me, and maybe I can be there in spirit.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by johnboy \* > \*\*Could someone e-mail me if this train-wreck manages to make it to Dayton, OH? I would really like to meet some (ALL) of you lunatics. \*\* You’re in Dayton and you can’t hie your hieney down for the Friday Night DopeDinner? (Like the Smurfs put “smurf” or “smurfy” in front of everything, I put “Dope” in front of everything. I’m trying to cut back, but it doesn’t seem to be working.) So we’re supposed to cater to _you_ and come to Dayton? Is that it? You’ll just have to clear it with **Shibb**. He’s driving. I was going to ask what **Cherry** was going to be waxing cynically in a sarcastic manor, but if there’s black boots and a mini-skirt involved, I stopped caring. Wax what you want baby. Oooo… poor **Jester**. All frowny faced and blue. What are you? Like twelve? You have to tell your parents what you’re doing _all the time_. This is why Juliet wound up dead. Live a little, little Puppy-Boy. Tell the 'rents that Randy Beeman got a new video game and you’re staying over his house to play with it. Or something. Maybe act all sick and put a dummy in your bed (See how I’m avoiding a cheap gag at your expense here **Jester**? It’s 'cause we’re pals.) and have a tape of recorded snoring. (If it worked for Ferris Beuler, it can work for you.) Don’t you watch TV? There’s 1,001 ways to sneak out and your parents will _never know_. Unless it moves the plot along. Then it’ll be a learning experience and you’ll be a better person for it. Oh wait. You are a minor and all, and the trust a parent has for their boy is a cherished thing and crap like that. Mostly this whole escapade involves crossing multiple state lines and I don’t want the Feds on my back. You just stay home and enjoy your cookies and milk. Whenever we do anything fun, I’ll be sure to think “Ha! At least **Jester** ’s not here. The baby.” -Rue.
