Ladies and Gentlemen (I use both terms quite loosely), I wish to remind all of the physical phenomenon known to the male gender as “shrinkage”, seeing as I will be freezing both my tuckus and other various bady parts as I swagger (or is that stagger?) about the Big Apple in a kilt. Seeing as my ass should be quite numb from the icy updrafts, I humbly volunteer it for whatever spanking is desired by the **Hot Doper Wimmin in Mini Skirts [sup]TM[/sup]**. I may ask from time to time, from a purely medical perspective, mind you, to have my ass spanked in order to revitalize the blood flow. This should be construed as a grand opportunity to flirt with me, as I will glady return the favor, and grab/spank/fondle your ass in return. Yeah, verily, I may even initiate some ass-groping, and those groped may feel free to reply in kind. Except **thinksnow**. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Geobabe \* > \*\*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… \*\* _ **HEY!!** _ I’ll have you know I was planning on doing that anyway. It’s just a thing I like to do. Honest. Besides, the view from the floor is often the best one when miniskirts are involved. 😉 ---

**KimKatt:** Flying. Spirit Airlines. They are cheap, baby, cheap. Hopefully I’ll get to ride in the same clown plan that **manhattan** flew in when he came out here for ChickDope. And no one has answered my Jell-O wrestling question yet! Has actual Jell-O wrestling ever occurred at a Dopefest? I’m up for it. 😃 [sub]I agree, too, that this thread title needs to be changed. Maybe “NYDope: Full Frontal” or something…[/sub] ---

We have had things set aflame–though not at a 'fest I was attending, durnitall. ---

We have had things set aflame–though not at a 'fest I was attending, durnitall. All three have happened. Gunfire; Weirddave and at least one other doper went to a shooting range for Spiffled at some point in the past. Full frontal nudity … well, that was in a private room. And while I am not going to give names, I will say that the nudity was not for naught. Airman Doors and I exchanged punches (he was drunk and messing around; I was sober and also messing around) back in late August. Boy was that fun:) ---

We have had partial frontal nudity in the main arena at Spliffled, also, and someone WAS down to his boxers in LA, until a young lass pulled them down, however briefly. So yes, full frontal at DopeToberFest. As for jello rasslin’, I’ll bring some boxes if YOU ALL bring some boxes. **Vix** , can you provide large plastic sheets for your living room? ---

Oh, and I do seem to recall getting a full-frontal from **Geobabe** herself at ChickDope. I just happened to walk in to the room just as she was stepping out of the shower. She covered up pretty quickly, but I got enough of an eyeful to be utterly convinced that yes, there IS a Deity. 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/back-on-track-nyc-mega-dopefest-january-5-2002/83057.md?page=11) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/back-on-track-nyc-mega-dopefest-january-5-2002/83057.md?page=13)
