For these people? Sounds like it was. Quiet is relative.

To think I originally suggested a quiet ChiDope because my daughter saw pics from the last one and I wanted to show that they aren’t all drunken lesbian orgies.

It didn’t, but it should have. Wait for LA, m’dear, and we’ll find someone else’s car.

You mean **Nymysys** _totally_ bogarted the **lno**. How come I’ve gotta be the bad guy?

Sweet £µ¢\<ing Deity. I am officially starting a piggy bank _right now_ to get my ass to the next ChiDope. Words fail me. Who’s got six feet of spare floor?

Yeah, ChiDopes are something else, all right. All manner of wickedness you can imagine, and some you can’t imagine.

He is, and I did. 'Nuff said.

Or, conversely, too late to say more. Whichever.

Aww…thanks, **Joey**. Even though I apparently didn’t do anything that stands out in your mind, it’s an honor just being nominated.

My last post _totally_ made sense in my mind last night. Today, not so much.

**Joey** , I apologize for bogarting the lno. I’ll have you recall, though, that all we did was read comic books and tell Jesus jokes. It’s not like we had fun or anything.

_ **OR DID WE??!!** _

OK, one of the last stragglers checking in. I just, finally, got home. This had nothing to do with ChiDope, of course, but, hey…

Anyway, yeah…my memory of the evening gets really hazy a little while after **Silver** ’s OP…something to do with all the Jagermeister, I suppose. It’s generally time to turn in when you can’t focus your eyes to read anymore.

And, moving is fun. Really. In fact, additional quote from moving day: (any of me, **Joey** , and **VileOrb** ): That was me almost falling down the stairs.

You rock. All of you. I mean it. Really.

OR DO I?

You d… Oh, wait, right. You tell me every day. 😉 😃

I’m so glad I was able to meet everyone, and apologize for not being my usual bouncy, licky self. Rest assured I’ll be back to being me at the next ChiDope (and OhDope!!), so that means you guys HAVE to be back, right? Right? 😃

Well, I may never be back again. But I _did_ have fun.

(Oh, tiggs licked me too.)

But would you say that if your memory wasn’t hazy? 🙂

I was there, met some people and realized that I need to concentrate on real life for a while. I will be taking a hiatus from these little soirees for the forseeable future. it has been getting a little weird for a while and I just don’t have the time or energy to deal with all the soap operas I keep finding myself embroiled in.

Glad you liked the salmon.
