The MIA Bamadopers (also Dopers from those other states we won’t mention):

dqa  
Ogre  
SilkyThreat  
Dire Wolf  
mouthbreather’s from 'Bama? (Not MIA, but that occurred to me)  
Is super\_head still in 'Bama?  
bwk (from that heretic state to the west)  
missdavis102?

Who else is here? Who have I missed? Speak now (or soon), or else if you show up at Bamadope, I will smite thee mightily.

but I have a hard enough time getting myself to work every day! I am a go, but only if we can eat lunch at John’s in Birmingham, on a weekday, from 12:00 to 1:00. (Which is when I eat lunch with my wife.)

Well, if you have to _resort_ to using the Birthday card, I have nothing to worry about. And, even if you succeed in your task, I’m reserving the rights to **bobkitty** and **Nocturne** , though not necessarilly at the same time.

Okay Okay boys… calm down. 😉

Now, as everyone knows I saw **Nocturne** and **bobkitty** first, so… And **Serendipity** will be there too…

Hmmm… Four-way? 😃 \<silently wonders if he has enough to go around\>

Just teasing… Jess talked to me about this yesterday, so I thought I’d find this post and tell you that I’ll be there. Even if only on the 29th.

So what’s up kids? You taking care of the plans on this one **Noc**? Where you at **Ogre** and **Silky**? Also, **Saint** and **Juliana** , you have absolutely “NO” excuse this time. 😉

Put me down as firm “I ain’t sure.” Unfortunately, I have already made a ton of commitments for that whole post-Christmas interim, and there are some things still up in the air. If I can find some wiggle room, I’ll be there, but don’t count on me.

Oh, and **super\_head** is no longer a Bamadoper. He moved to Denver about a month ago.

Put me down as a “no.” I’m in Mississippi, and I’m in damn Tuscaloosa for a couple hours every month waiting for a Greyhound to take me to Gunslinger’s house, but around Christmastime I’ll be back in New York. Oh well.

Don’t worry, hon. Nocturne and I can always entertain each other while you re-charge. 😃

Oh, and **Osip** … I have only one thing to say to you…

**A SPANKING!!! A SPANKING!!!**

But only if you get Noc and Super’s permission to borrow me first. 😉

I may be willing to part with you for a while, luv, but you’d best make it up to me when you return. 😃

Ogre, you have to come…it won’t be a real Bamadope if you’re not there.

Sadly, I’ll probably only be able to make it to Saturday’s festivities (thank goodness I weaseled out of a ski trip for that week–I hate the mountains and I don’t care for winter much either, so I’d rather go to a Bamadope).

So here’s Nocturne’s Fabulous Running Tally on Who’s Coming to Bamadope III So Far (hopefully):

Ze Definite-Maybes (meaning that for now, it’s quite possible):  
bobkitty  
Superdude  
Lsura  
Osip  
Simetra  
Serendipity  
Nocturne

The somewhat-maybes:  
Ogre  
mouthbreather

Oh, and racinchikki, let me know when you’re in Tuscaloosa next if you have a couple of hours free, and we’ll go to lunch together.

I emailed **Tokiwoki** yesterday, and she may be in attendance as well. I have offered to go pick her up in Houston for the shindig, but haven’t heard back from her yet.

</div>

Yaaaay! I’ve always wanted a Tokiwoki at a Bamadope!

(If any Dopers from non-surrounding states want to come, I’m cool with that too.)

Everyone should just make a road trip to Alabama.

Yay! Just wanted to let you all know how super-excited I am at the prospect of meeting Bamadopers. Oh, and one other thing…

I looked over **Nocturne** ’s list and wondered why I wasn’t on it. Then I realized I replied, not to this thread, but to **bobkitty** ’s email when I said “I’ll try to make it,” which makes a difference.

Hello! I am **Fiver** , and I will try to make it.

</div>

Actually, what **Fiver** _meant_ to say was:

“Hello! I am **Fiver** , and I will be there no matter what, because I would hate to disappoint my new best friend **bobkitty** , and she asked **so** nicely and all. Oh, and it would be nice to meet the rest of you as well.”

I can see why he was confused, though. Hope that clears it up. 😃

Wow, I never realized there was such a disconnect between my brain and my keyboard. Thanks for translating, **bobkitty**.

Let’s test this some more. If I wrote, “ **bobkitty** is a nice enough young lady, I suppose,” what would I really mean?

You, of course, would mean:

“I don’t know how I have managed to live my life without **bobkitty** in it. She is my sun, my moon, my everything. She’s like the fresh morning dew on a brand new day. Her external beauty is surpassed only by the beauty of her heart. You should all bow before her, and express nothing but envy toward me, who has been fortunate enough to fall into her good graces.”

Silly boy. 😃
