Excellent job on the photos! A bunch of very nice looking Dopers there. And I must say, Ukelele Ike looks **exactly** how I pictured him. * * * You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing. ---

Chris, one of these days I’m going to take you to task for consistently misspelling my name. Not today, though. Great job on the pics!

Oh, _excellent_ job, Chris! Really fun; UkeIke doesn’t look how I’d imagined him, but Gaud, Boli and Beeruser do. Great job on the captions, too; I really like the “Guiness-swilling elf”. Looks like you all had a blast. All in all, a fetching (that’s _fetching_, not felching!) group. Thanks for sharing the memories. Veb ---

None of you looked anything like I imagined, except for Gaudere, for some reason. Oh, well. I bet I don’t look anything like you picture me, either. * * * “That’s entertainment!” —Vlad the Impaler ---

Actually, the “Guinness-swilling elf” thing is directly quoted from **Gaudere** herself. BTW: Guadere, I may not know how to spell it, but I know how to pronounce it. * * * “…all the prettiest girls live in Des Moines…” –Jack Kerouac, _On the Road_ ---

I just tried that link again and suddenly it doesn’t work anymore. If anyone else is having problems, try this instead: [www.crosswinds.net/~domesticbliss/index.htm](http://www.crosswinds.net/~domesticbliss/index.htm) ## That gets you in through the front door (literally) and you can access the pictures from the Photo Gallery.

Ok, can I just say that I’m _really fucking tired of being at the mercy of a free webhost!!!_ I have no fucking clue what their problem is now, but I’m getting really sick of this crap.
