@BippityBoppityBoo has been with us for a full year! Congrats, and thanks for sticking around. (Lots of newbies run screaming into the night…)
Thanks! here’s what I had to say about it in MundanePointless Land:
Mumper’s anniversary. That would give us quite a few parties every year and I think we need it.
Ok. At whose house? swampy’s with the cement pond? Who will organize the party games? nellie would be good at that, besides, she’s proven she can control a classroom full of high school kids and I plan to be at least that silly. Rowdy is optional. Maybe flyboy and doggio setting up the bar? Whatever they’re drinking always sounds worldly and sophisticated. shoe can organize the, um, other mind-altering substance for those on the wild side. Who wants to be the dj? I figure classic rock and roll-bet hippy would be good at that. mooomm could organize the potluck picnic-she’ll have an Excel spreadsheet up in minutes so we don’t have all desserts and no entrees. Plus, then everybody will be there on time, dammit! She’ll have it organized to a fare-thee-well across all time zones. Somebody has to put on the kettle at the right time so our friends across the pond can have their tea on time. dicey , can you and scaryfaerie make sure we have good chocolate? nuttie , can you round out the music for us? Plus identify any puzzling insects that show up?
Ok, who else wants to do what? Give motorcycle rides? Tell ghost stories? Face paint? Scrabble tournament? 5 card stud?
That’s tomorrow !
I’ll do a recital of Picasso’s Guernica on my saxophone.
I am an expert in key lime pie; will that suffice?
Ohhh, one of my favorites. Game on!
I was going to make you a croquembouche, but it looks like I’m too late. Sorry!
It’s been a very good year having you around
Yes. This! Time to sing the official song:
Happy Doperversary to you!
Happy Doperversary to you!
Happy Doperversary to you dear Boo!
Happy Doperversary to you-oo-oo!
…
And many more!!!
Looked that up. Sounds and looks amazing! I’ll just stick around til the stars align and we Mumpers can ring around one of those.
Aww, shucks. Thank you. I knew I was right about you guys.
Boo, you add so much to this board. Glad you decided to join us. Happy Doperversissary! Or however it is spelled.
Happy Doperversary!
I’d send you a card but I don’t know if my last one got to you, given that my local post office is staffed by cabbages
I’m a little late to the party, but I know a Doper bash goes on for days.
I brought something completely salt-free for Beck and me.
I’m still trying to get the hang of this no salt cooking business. I used to be a pretty damned good cook, and my recent productions from the kitchen are sad sad sad. Breaks my heart!
Set up a table with a five gallon jug of water, where Beck and I can drink like fish, eat somewhat mediocre food (sob! sob!) and bitch about Life in general.
I apologize, Boo, for crapping on your par-tay. It was a glorious day when you entered the SDMB Universe, and I have adored you ever since.,

I think it did but AIRI there wasn’t a return address so I couldn’t reciprocate as I wanted to. It was a beautiful card, I remember it taking my breath away-I had never gotten such an exquisitely crafted card before (or since). It is still on display on a living room bookshelf.
Be glad to, especially if I can bask in your company and bitch too. Bitching is one of the things I do best….along with skating at the very precipice of being too off-color. That would put the three of us at a rickety card table pitched at the far edge of the picnic ground. Life is best lived at the edge! We could have that put on our t-shirts! This par-tay is starting to shape up.
And you, kind sir, are a big part of why I stayed. You were (and are) so kind and patient in explaining things to me and encouraging me to participate. So it’s mostly your fault. Plus you are the bestest night owl buddy. Now you’re stuck with me.
I’m glad it arrived safely! I must confess it was actually from a stash of cards at my late mum’s flat - she had a collection of hand-made cards that she bought from local craft fairs and kept, partly because they were too pretty to give away, and partly because she felt they required an “occasion”. She exchanged birthday cards with the other residents in her sheltered housing complex but she only gave them the cheap ones…the others were ones she was saving.
After she died, I took them all home and decided they shouldn’t be hidden away and they needed to be sent off so that other people could enjoy them too. I’m sure she would be happy with where this one ended up
Somehow I missed seeing this. A belated Happy Dope-aversary, Boo! Wow, if you ever feel unappreciated, you can look at this thread. Not many people get a whole thread honoring them! If that isn’t proof of lovability, I don’t know what is. Hope you’re still celebrating!
Well, yes. I sure am enjoying thus one ! Trying to get my kids to read it so they’ll know their ol’ mom has friends.
Thanks one and all.
Purple or black for me please . I’d hate to publish what size I’d need.
The bagpipe music alone has been worth it!
