I speak for the cats - you’d be surprised how much they swear. Kitties are little potty-mouths. “Where’s my goddamned dinner? You call that food? Fucker.” “Someone open this Christing door, or I’ll kill you all!” Honestly, cats are the stevedores of the animal world.

I think I signed up in mid '99. I distinctly remember some of the evening on the very first Dopefest with the likes of Valerieblaise, Omniscient, Unclebeer, Ukelele Ike and others getting absolutely smashed on Honey Brown. Huh. Time flies.

The very first Dopefest was in California long before '99, back in the AOL days.

Well, thanks. I knew about FreekyFreely from another thread, but Bronze Lion sounds quite interesting. It also helps me get a reference from a while back.

Oh yeah. They’re entertaining. Just two posts in two threads, both locked. A double threat if I’ve ever seen one:

[Workplace Secrets](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=80750)  
[Perhaps my last posting was a little unclear](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=80931)

Good stuff there.
