Hey kids, I won’t be able to attend, but I was thinking you are probably the right people to answer this question about jobs in your neck of the woods: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=1747892](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=1747892) And hey, if you’ve got good ideas, I could be at the next one! ---

I should like to participate in the Secret Santa exchange. ---

I have no problem with being in the Secret Santa exchange- but give me until the weekend after Thanksgiving to figure out if I’ll definately be there. The $1700 in dental bills this week hasn’t done my wallet or future plans a bit of good. By then, I’ll also know what the family has planned. ---

I could make it on Dec 28th and 29th as I’ll be partying in B’ham that weekend. Montgomery could work for one evening also. ---

I think we’re doing it in TUSCALOOSA, RIGHT you guys? Since you chose a weekend that I won’t be at the dorm (I’ll be home for the holidays), Tuscaloosa is one of the few places that I could get to easily. ---

Yes, we decided on Tuscaloosa. Easy enough from Birmingham, though… I also have a proposal. For the GA Dopers, would you like to meet at my place on Friday evening, have dinner, crash there, and then leave Saturday for Tuscaloosa? It seems the people who can’t do a 2-day thing are mostly the Bama people. Also it would give a chance for GA people who wouldn’t be able to make it to BamaDope to get together for a while. I’ll even cook! 😃 Whaddya think? ---

If the lady and I are able to make it, that sounds good. Also, I could drive the lot of us down there. I have seating for 8. ---

I’d say Birmingham, Monster. I think it’s a pretty safe bet anyhow. ---

OK, Tuscaloosa then. When you guys get an email distribution list together, put me on it. Thanx. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Nocturne \* > \*\*More dopers from the lovely state of Mississippi need to see this…and how come we never get visitors from Tennessee? \*\* Wish I could come, but we’re heading up to the White River in Arkansas for a quiet New Year’s celebration this year. Getting down to Alabama is never much of an issue, though. I’ll weasel my way into the next Bama Dope. [sub]One of the very few Tennessee Dopers, signing in. Thanks for asking.[/sub] ---

**bobkitty** ’s Friday/Saturday idea is a good one and I am on board. And the city chosen for the Bamadope is good as well. You know, in Africa, elephants’ tusks are tight, but in Alabama, the Tuscaloosa. ---

Fiver, if you keep repeating that joke, I’m not going to give anyone your name in Secret Santa. ---

I can’t help it, **Nocturne** ; I’m like a moth to the flame with that joke. At least I keep it down to once per thread. Doesn’t that count for anything? ---
