Ja, KaninchenJugend, Ich bin die Alpha Frau. Bist gut oder bist Hasenpfeffer. šŸ˜‰ **Rasa** , me eeeeviiiilll? Where on earth are you people getting these ideas? And if there is an International Doper war, which side would I be on? For although within me beats an American heart, chock full of mom, apple pie and all that is good; this body, the one that is hoping to cage free drinks, is in Europe. Oh! The conflict, the _Angst_! What to do? I must go and brood. (Does that make me Danish?) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by tatertot \* > PS. **RIBBIT!** And with that fateful signal from tatertot to her minions across Europe, the long years of secret plotting and preparation come to an end. The final war is unleashed, Doper pitted against Doper, all bonds of friendship cast aside as the massed ranks of Eurotrash are ranged against the crack killers of the Unholy Lesbian Vampire Special Forces. We will prevail. ---

Do we really need to do the ā€œHey Babyā€ song? I just got back from a ski holiday in Sued-Tirol (which is Italy, but then all German), and Iā€™ve heard it approximately 2,367 times the last 10 days. AAAARRRRRRGGGG!!! ---

Yes, **Clogster** we really do. Itā€™s a _tradition_! [sub]Unless you can think of a better song, and it better not be the Venga Boysā€¦[/sub] ---

Hey Coldfire, if you can spare a minute, thereā€™s [a thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=58851) over in GQ you might be able to help with. Jomo Mojo wants an explanation of ā€œI love youā€ in Dutch. Glad you got back uninjured, and with DJ Otzi firmly lodged in your brain. Weā€™ll be looking to you to lead the singing. ---

Big news, rather keep it off the boards. Iā€™m also going to update the pics pages, because somehow I left off my dear sweet **Snormy**. I donā€™t know how I managed that. I also changed **Damhnaā€™s** pic, because he asked nicely. Iā€™m going to be out of touch til Monday, so if you need anything donā€™t panic if I donā€™t answer. ---

Okay, fixed the pics. Sigh, now that Iā€™m not going, who is going to protect my dear **Snormy** from all the superfreaks? **Sassy** , **Diane** , **fierra** , and **Botanica** ā€¦itā€™s all up to you now. If a cute barmaid tries to come on to one of my guys, think to yourself _What would tater do?_. Make me proud, girls, make me proud. **Cheesy Poof** , Iā€™m going to e-mail you on Monday, there are some things I have to mail you. This time, please go to the post office and pick them up promptly like a good boy. šŸ˜ƒ **Bunny Boy** , youā€™re in charge of the song now. Itā€™s a big responsibility, but I know you can handle it. **Pimpy** , donā€™t think you can sneak away from the kiddie table now that Iā€™m not going to be there. I have spies everywhere, you know. ---

So i was wondering how the hell any dopefest thread can get to four pages. Being the curious California kid that I am, venturing into foreign Eurodope territory, i explored this strange and mysterious frontier. Soon,i realized the secret as to why their thread territory is most expansive. They use the power known as excessive flirting! Yes! Excessive flirting has been known to automatically annex territory! So, with that secret knowlege in my brain, i must depart for my home territory (the BAD lands), and share this knowledge. However, iā€™m not so sure that my people in the BAD lands will be so keen on this flirting power! ta ta, cheerio, cheers, later dude! ---

Well, I saw this and thought Iā€™d await the announcement but OK, lets try for a clue: Does it have anything to do with Passport Control, funny foreign money, cucumber slices over the eyes and a total weekend of decadence ? BTW, itā€™s nice to see the above two posters in sync as they were the first two to welcome me to this nut house on my first ever posting. Unfortunately, you never told me how to get outā€¦ Whatā€™s the story, **Shayna**? ---
