Jonathan, it’s lovely of you to put him up. Thank you very much! Iampunha, you twit, CALL HOME NEXT TIME. Yes, I am yelling. I can’t wait until you have kids just like you! 😃 ---

Glad I could set your mind at ease! Hey, I’m a parent, too. **Gobear** , boy, I don’t think I’ve been described at ‘sweet’ for at least thirty years! I bask in your approval. Thanks to you and Matt (whom I once called ‘Mike’ to my shame) for coming. It was great to meet you finally. **Lucretia** , **N4S** , I’m glad you had a good time. We enjoyed throwing the party. Wheee! ---

I had a terrific time too and it was great fun meeting everybody, especially **Nacho4Sara** and **moi!** Looking forward to the next one already! (Were you hinting that you were going to move, **Jonathan?** ) ---

Tack = thanks to **Jonathan Chance** and **Mrs. Chance**. It was fun to go to a Hallowen party for the first time for me.🙂 I hope I’ll see some pictures from the party, because I did see that some took that. The one I do wish I had is **Montfort** in my dress, I missed to take a picture of him at home in that. He was so cute in it.🙂 ---

Man, I had a great time - been too long since I saw everyone. Thanks, Nate and Eileen, for throwing one hell of a party! **Geobabe** , I can’t take credit for _all_ the change; in fact, I wasn’t even the first to add small change to your collection. (I can’t remember who I was copycatting - probably **Weirddave** or **Bluesman**. :)) **Lucretia** , you were truly babe-a-licious in your harem outfit! Too bad I never wound up between you and Geo; as Weirddave (in his Jesus costume) said, “It’s good to be King of Kings!” I groped **Montfort** ’s boobies! 😃 **moi** and **that\_darn\_cat** , I’m glad you drove down from Pittsburgh - it was a special pleasure to talk with you guys. 🙂 Also had a great time talking with **John Corrado** , who’s [not enlisting in the military](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=1758540#post1758540), the lovely Rebecca (who needs to get a SN and join this crazy crowd!), **Nacho4Sara** , **iampunha** , and too many others to remember right now, so don’t feel left out if I didn’t name you. At my age, the memory starts to go. 😉 ---

Awww, gee, thanks **RT**. 😃 I still ended up with less money in my bra than **Geobabe** had in her cleavage, though. I guess I need to squoosh 'em together more next time. ---

I’m tellin’ ya, **Lucretia** , maximum boobage is the way to go. You saw how fast they all jumped up when I said, “Hey, when is everybody going to put money in my bra?” Our host didn’t even notice my legs until very late in the festivities. ---

Well, I know why I was so tired at the dopefest - I woke up today (at noon) with a sinus infection. Yuck, yuck, yuck! I don’t want to say specific things to anyone, because I always leave someone out and feel bad, but I mist say that **gobear** is one of the wisest, kindest, most intelligent men I’ve ever met and I am grateful that we had so much in common and thus had much to talk about. Also, **Matt** is an asbolute sweetheart and I hope he registers ASAP. **John Corrado** was exactly as I pictured him - a perfect gentlemen with a killer sense of humor; his storytelling ability is matched only by **Zappo** , who had a lot more fun in college than yours truly. And **Geobabe** , I wanna be just like you when I grow up. I have the cleavage already; I just don’t know how to mash it together and make it look so perky. **Anniz** and **moi** are absolutely adorable and I hope to see both of you at future Dopefests. Every last one of you was wonderful and I’m so glad I got to see you guys again. Oh yeah, **bouv** , you better go to the NY Dopefest! I’m holding you to it! Thanks again to **Nate, Eileen, Baby Kate** (the cutest child I’ve ever seen in my life), **Velocity** and **Calvin** for having us all over. Also thanks to **Aguecheek** and **Stephanie** for going out of their way to pick me up. ---

I think I’m giving **Spritle** an opportunity here… **Neidhart** , thanks for coming. It was good to see you. And yes, we’re thinking of moving (if we can find the right place). **Anniz** , it was wonderful to meet you. Who’da guessed we’d be the one’s to bring the joy of Halloween costuming to you? It’s an honor! And we have at least on digital pic of **Montfort** in _your_ dress? I didn’t realize. But he was a cutie, wasn’t he? The pix will be up when we d/l them and design a page for them. Between Lady Chance and I we took more than 50 pix yesterday. The blackmail letters will be going out shortly. **iampunha** , when I bum around my house at 6 in the morning I certainly didn’t expect you to still be around and coherent. You’re a strange one, lad. **that\_darn\_cat** , did I scare you coming around the porch in pitch darkness at 5AM today? It occured to me how weird that could seem. **RTF** , I always appreciate seeing you. It was good, towards the end, to have someone who could identify with my post-30 ways. Those kids were…well…young, weren’t they? And I’m watching the game right now and the Redskins are _ahead_ in the first two minutes! What’s up with that? **N4S** , allow me to express my deepest sympathies for your loss. Whether you knew it or not there’s an entire two pound bag of Tootsie Pops in our kitchen that _never even got opened_. I feel your pain! So who’s looking forward to the next one? ---

Geobabe - maybe I should buy a Wonderbra. But they’re so big anyway, so I try to downplay them in hopes that no one will notice (black is my friend.) I don’t even own that many low-cut shirts - I think maybe two. Plus it kind of bugs me when guys talk to them like they’ll answer. But I’ll work on the attitude. I definitely need some more of that. 🙂 > [@](#): > > N4S, allow me to express my deepest sympathies for your loss. Whether you knew it or not there’s an entire two pound bag of Tootsie Pops in our kitchen that never even got opened. I feel your pain! Man, I didn’t eat nearly enough candy! Baby Kate is going to be snacking on chocolate well into her teen years what with all the candy you guys had. I feel a definite sense of loss that I didn’t stuff most of it into my purse before I left. But I did get to eat some excellent Cheesesteak! Mad props to the Ultimate Cheesesteak chef **Airman Doors** and the lucky women who gets to eat his cheesesteak, **MsRobyn**. ---

If you didn’t I certainly did. On the subject of the extra candy…it’s not like we’ll eat it. I’ll drop it on my staff tomorrow morning. The house is mostly cleaned up now. We’re looking at 4 hefty bags of trash and about 12 bags of recycling I’ve got to take down to Hillsboro sometime um, today. Heh. Go Redskins! ---

**Johnathan and Lady Chance** , thank you for a wonderful time. It was fantastic to finally put some faces with the names, and the hospitality was five-star all the way. **moi** , if **that\_darn\_cat** ever takes leave of his senses to the point where you’re single again give me a call, m’kay? You rock the freakin’ Casbah. Next time my job drags me out to the 'burgh maybe the three of us can join up for dinner or something and turn it into a mini-Dopefest. **Nacho4Sara** , you flatter me. Please, keep going. It’s been a loooooong time since somebody as cute as you flattered me. 😃 It was great to meet all of you and I’m looking forward to the next mid-Atlantic Dopefest with bated breath. Maybe I should stop eating bait. (Hah! Beat ya to it, **RTFirefly**!) Zap! Who got in on the fun with **Geobabe** but is too much of a gentleman to mention it. And modest too. ---
