[QUOTE=DocCathode] Sheesh. Did Ghostbusters teach you nothing? [/QUOTE] It taught me _don’t cross the streams_. Which is an Important Safety Tip ™. I’m sure we can find some use for an exotic gas mixture and a breathing control device. I’ll get the 32% Nitrox tank, and _you_ stick the regulator second stage into the mouth of… whatever we summon. Or maybe the lead summoner. I can also bring my bo stave. It’s a six foot pole for bashing things that, well, I wouldn’t want to touch with a ten foot pole. ---

I was just thinking back to perhaps the [best summoning ever](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090305/). They did not follow any acceptable rules and it worked out very well. ---

What do you need all that stuff for? When I summon, I just need two party members and a soul shard. …What? 😛 Cheers, G (Gleena is on Greymane, if you need her to summon.) ---

Oh cripes. No Jellie Bellies??? Do you think it still might work if we throw **Least Original User Name Ever** in the circle and dance around _him_? Let’s give it a shot. What’s the worst that could happen? (“Ray… What’d you think of Ray?”) Hey **Nava** , do you have access to the newbie wing? Sure could use that goat. ---

[/QUOTE] I know where the spare keys are, I welcome enough Newbs. I never did figure out where the Goat lived though, I stay out of the hallway to the Squid and the Goat. This is your summoning, LOUNE would probably work, do we know if he is still a virgin? That opens up far more doors. ---

And for those of you with the bra idea: I personally tried to summon Kelly LeBrock 3 or 4 times a week through out the latter part of the 80’s. No luck. As a side-note though, my right arm looks GREAT! My left looks positively _atrophied_ in comparison! 😛 ---

Something about the fifth comes to mind… _ahem_ look elsewhere, dear Dopers… Good jellybeans, though! Damn good! Why, when I was a lil’ sprout, we didn’t have jellybeans that good…no siree not when I was a yoot. Um. I’m hungry. ---

Hey, is there anything else useful **Kythereia** could filtch\* from the newbie wing? No squids though. They scare the bejezus out of me… Let’s see: We’re also gonna need some duct tape to tie down **Least Original User Name Ever**. He doesn’t seem to want to go in the circle willingly. But hell, what’s a summoning without some whimpering and crying. He will whimper and cry won’t he? And does any one on the Dope know how to _play_ the theremin? \*and that’s filtch not _feltch_. What **Kythereia** does in her spare time is her business… ---

Will there be techno/country music? If that’s the case, everyone could cry. That’d make for a better summoning… …that is…if you catch me! ---

Oh great a LOUNE on the loose. Hope everyone’s been innoculated. I don’t buy this “virgin” story. **Kythereia** has been gone a while. You don’t think the squid…? ---
