Quick question: Has Jell-O wrestling ever occurred at a Dopefest? Because I’ve never wrestled in Jell-O, but it sure does sound like a heck of a lot of fun. Oh, and are mini-skirts _required,_ or are they an option? It’s going to be cold there in January. Wouldn’t you rather us ladies wore something that emphasized the effect that cold can have on the upper-torso region of the human female? [sub]no, I don’t have a miniskirt, or purple suede heels.[/sub] ---

Immune? Oh no. If I get immune to it, pretty soon I’ll start liking it, then that will just lead to _not_ dancing. ---

Well, **Perse** , darling, the next thing you must learn is that sometimes we have to suffer for our art. Chilly legs in NYC in January are a small price to pay for watching The Dave-Guy spin in ever smaller circles until he becomes dizzy and collapses in a heap on the floor. Oh, I have so much to teach you, Grasshopper… ---

I will most assuredly not be in a mini-skirt [sub]unless I somehow get into Persephone’s, so to speak[/sub]. I will be dressed warmly because I am from warmer climes and do not have a death wish. I will, however, be showing cleavage when possible. ---

Man, y’all have me tempted to bring my kick-ass purple fake suede heels AND a miniskirt AND a cleavage-revealing shirt. I’m the Anti-Flirt…I’m not supposed to care about these things. You people are warping and corrupting my sweet, pure mind, and I think you ought to know that I do **not** appreciate it. ---

I too, am an ant-Flirt. No-- don’t go looking at that Pit thread. Some other being took over my keyboard and said all those things. But, I most likely will be wearing a mini. And my house is _still_ not clean. In fact it’s worse than when I said I was gonna clean it. Pish posh on all you cold-weather weenies. Although I was told by someone who purported to be my friend that I was saved from the cold by my insulating layer of fat. Some friend, eh? Well, ya’ll get a chance to see my fat, cold legs. Woohoo! ---

Found out this morning that we’re going to have to have a scheduled cessarian Dec. 34 since the baby is breech. SHe siad she’ll want to stay home to care for the kid. However, we still have mucho extra room at the Heap Estate for desperate crashers. Any buyers should just go ahead and e-mail me. Oh, yeah; Jell-O wrestling welcome.
