Yes, but what did you say about the rest of us ? Come on, tell, I can’t stand it ! * * * Ayesha - Lioness * * * There are two solutions to every problem : the wrong one, and mine (Thomas A. Edison) ---

The truth of the matter is I didn’t write down most of what we said about people. Here’s what I remember and/or wrote down SqurlCub - that “Small Wonder” thing must end. Also, I think a couple of people mentioned that the “Hugs!” sig can be disturbing, depending on the thread. Satan - I think we just talked about issues that shall not be named Flora - Uke told us how cool she is. Coldfire - mmm - we all have some bitterness towards him for starting another popularity thread. Cecil is an ingrate for not giving anyone any credit in his column about the South sides of cities being the “bad side” Saxface should change her name back to Melanie or something that sounds less icky TennHippie - Guadere already mentioned that everybody loves him TVeblen - we were all upset she couldn’t make it Kat, Random, Stevie Rave on - all traitors for not showing up Imthecowgodmoo - I don’t remember what anyone else said, but that name makes me giggle every time I read it PlDennison - we all agreed w/ Gaudere’s “Don’t fuck w/ Phil” opinion, but in a good way - as far as I could tell, anyway. ShirleyUjest - I think all of us thought her posts were funny. That’s really all I have. Everyone else should assume that we either only said wonderful things or else just mentioned you so you wouldn’t feel left out 😉 We actually really never got around to bashing posters, as we had Omni there to make fun of and poke with sticks. ---

Oh yeah, something else I noticed about the Chicago Dopers (and I’m guessing this is probably true elsewhere as well): Buncha smartasses. Every damn one of them. I’m not, of course, I’m demure and reticent, but these other people… sheesh. 😉 ---

Scan 'em and email 'em to me sometime; I’ll post them for all to enjoy. Or you can just send them (I’ll give you my address if you need it) and I can scan them myself. ---

Valerie - Chris’s are developed. She’s going to scan hers in and post a link. I think she’s also going to do that with mine. (We got together last night and traded). So what did you think? ---

That’s all he had to do?..Ask?..Hell, I could have done that…although I suppose a request from the Master of Hell does have a little more imortance than mine… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/chicago-meeting-minutes/11659.md?page=2)
