I didn’t know y’all were talking about making your way down into the country. \*\* Turns out we weren’t. The plans that got canceled were entirely unrelated. I mentioned my disappointment at missing Dope-A-Ween to Meros, and TruePisces on wednesday. It seems that I put 2 and 2 together and got 22. There was a gathering on the same date, one that I couldn’t reach by public transportation. I thought they were referring to Dope-A-Ween. While interested, I have no car and hadn’t read the planning thread. I assumed that Meros and TP had participated in the thread, as Meros does have a car. Ah, well. ---

Ay de mi, Doc. And **ultrafilter** , you’re close to my recipe for party success. 1. Invite everyone you know or bump into on the street. Diversity is the key. 2. Get the fed. 3. Get them drunk. 4. Getting laid is their problem. Those are the four sacred rules to party throwing. ---

Hey, there are some of you in **ScubaBen** ’s album, **fizzy**! (In your costume, I mean) Just watch, though, next year I’ll bring a Ouija board. We can contact evil spirits, get possessed, and then burn it and see if it screams! ---

It would appear that Scubaben made it a priority to get shitty half-pictures of me. ---

**RTFirefly** , right after I met you face-to-face, I thought to myself “who does he remind me of?” Then, after a couple of shots of Vanilla Vodka and a couple of bottles of beer, I didn’t care. But looking at the pictures, I’ve figured it out. . .you look like Billy Crystal! And I apologize if everyone always tells you that. . .I know how annoying that can be. Then again, if you get annoyed with me, it’ll probably even out that whole coffee maker thing. . .😃 ---

I cannot possibly imagine that he gets told that often. Really, I’m speechless. RT? ---

**Edward** , your comment about my bum actually led me to feel up my own tush. Didn’t do much for me, but I’m glad someone else found the experience pleasurable! 😉 Glad to see **ScubaBen** ’s pics up; I knew someone had gotten one of Lady Chance and me! Also, I think I’ll be sitting out on any Ouija board activities. I’m more the sort for passing around bottles of vodka and lap sitting. But y’all probably figured that out already. **JC** , I’ll have you know that even the mention of SDakota made me _whimper_! ---

Didn’t do much for me, but I’m glad someone else found the experience pleasurable! 😉 Well I wasn’t talking about doing something for you, I meant that it was nice and firm, unlike mine which when I move jiggles like one of those stress balls. I’m also wearing my costume at work now, I’ve gotten some interesting stares and I even scared some woman. It’s gonna be a great day. 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Edward The Head \* > \*\*I’m also wearing my costume at work now, I’ve gotten some interesting stares and I even scared some woman. It’s gonna be a great day. 😃 \*\* I often test my costumes for durability by wearing them on errands(I don’t want anything coming loose, tearing, stretching etc on the big night), I get a lot of stares. What surprises me is the fact that people try not let me see them staring. And almost nobody will ask why I’m in a costume.
