As you’ve figured out by now, I’m not there. Car had brake problems, and it’s in the shop this morning. Mrs.F. and I decided to stay home today rather than drive into work in my ancient truck. (We need to start looking for a reliable second car.) Sorry to miss you guys.
I am a moron. And not only am I a moron, I am a bitch too.
I am so sorrrrrry to whomever I told off when he asked me if I knew Cecil Adams. I had no clue what you had said and I was all the way down to Vermont Ave. before I was like “Oh, shit!” I tried to walk back but you guys had already bailed. I totally did not hear what you said and usually when strange people approach me at Metro stations, I get a little nervous.
Mea culpa. Mea culpa.
Hopefully I will get invited to the next one. 
I am a total idiot.
That was you! dcnewsman and I wondered if that might be you hanging around out there, and I sure as hell wasn’t going to come up to you and ask you if you were tramp. Too much risk in getting misunderstood.
Just goes to show what I get for trying to be creative.
And sure, you’re invited to the next one. We’ll set a date in the next week or so. 
LOLOL!!!
Holy fricking gawd! That was you, tramp? No, don’t look at me, I wasn’t the one asking you… but the tale did make its way to us.
Finally, I discover the truth. You’re not all bots!
Anyway, loads of fun. Will do again.
I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again.
I am an idiot. I am a bitch.
A thousand apologies!
LOL…see I told you Olentzero you should just ask if she was Tramp. Any way it was good to meet dantheman, heresiarch, panache and see Tramp. Also good as always to see Olent, dorkusmalorkusmafia and gobear. For the others of you who said you were comng but didn’t…what happened? We’ll do this again in a few weeks and I expect to see you all there (ASYLUM).
Pfft, tramp, no offense taken. 
For all you know I could have been some knucklehead trying a lame pickup line to make time with you. No reason to kick yourself over it.
To paraphrase from Ghostbusters:
“When someone asks you if you know Cecil Adams, you say YES!!!” 
A pleasure all- Tramp, don’t feel too terrible, I was nearly in your situation. Luckily I lurked by the correct pillar and was able to eavesdrop my way into a lone doper outcropping 'round the other side of the station.
I’m certainly up for the next round!
WTF?
The second I leave town, everybody decides to jump out of the woodwork?
“Pst. He’s gone. We can all go to lunch now. Heh.”
Seriously, I’m glad the Bunch didn’t fold. I was kinda worried about that. Hope you guys had a good time; maybe when I’m out in May, I’ll be able to make one.
Cheers!
Well hopefully we can do it again soon so that I can redeem myself. I promise that in real life I am a very nice person!
tramp - I think you have redeemed yourself for the simple fact that, according to my research, you have made this the Official Longest Thread on the Boards. Can’t seem to find another 10-pager around here, but then again my methods are usually suspect.
Aguecheek - well, y’know, we didn’t have all these people on the boards before you moved. If they’d have been regular attendees back then, we probably wouldn’t have gone on hiatus. But we’re back, in good form, and pretty much ready to start anew.
So, in that vein - how does December 6th sound to you all? The 22nd is too soon if we’re going to cut back to every other week (which works fine for me!) and the 29th is the day after T-day, and most everybody will probably be out of town.
I did have a great time, and it seems like everybody else did too. We had dirty secrets aplenty to share, like the fact that I so don’t care about somebody shagging my mom that I’d probably videotape it.
I also have a confession about a Doper crush, but whose it is and on whom it is shall ne’er be divulged by me. Heh heh heh 
December 6th sounds great. I’ll be the girl wearing nothing but a pink carnation.
I am never going to out-do naked with a carnation. I may stay away indefinately.
Why, Olentzero! <blushes demurely> And I had a great time, too.
Doper crushes? Nah, never happen.
FWIW, Olentzero, this is about 220 posts shy of being the longest currently active thread. Check this one out - 14 pages and still truckin’.
Damn, gobear, you must have serious experience shooting yourself in the foot like that.
I should have no problem whatsoever making it on December 6. . .
Put me down as a maybe. (What a surprise!)

He lives! He live!! Count me in for Dec. 6.
