:throws down a gauntlet:
Indeed, sirrah, havest thou a sleazy nun, a Catholic schoolgirl, or a Mermaid?
Surely not. Harumph!
However, we’ll all have a blast, won’t we?!
Okay, I’ll bet ours will be less…family-oriented than yours! Nyah-nyah! 
See! You don’t even have a Minister of Affairs! How do you expect to coordinate a HallowDope/Dope-a ween with a MoA?! And no, you can’t have mine.
Who needs a minister of affairs?
I’m a benevolent dictator. I buy off the masses with enormous amounts of food, alcohol and candy. What more do they need?
Who’s with me here, people? Who’s with me?
Hey, I’m in! I can’t make the Fells Point pub crawl for Airman Doors but damn, I want to join in a Dopefest!
What can I bring?
Hmm, gotta think of a non-lame costume. . .
I am, Jonathan! And as will become apparent on the 27th, I am ALL you need!
Candy corn? I am so there!
Now to start shopping for a suitably revealing costume…
Dang straight we’re family friendly…
I’m friendly…and I have a family! (Even if Lady Chance is away for the week in New Jersey. Single parentdom is SO revealing of character, right?)
So to this point we’re looking at:
**
Montfort
Anniz*
iampunha
Lucretia, Bluesman and the most polite, well-behaved children the world has ever known
Weirddave
Tranquilis*
RTFirefly (who should just paint a mustache on and talk fast)
Zappo*
Geobabe
**
That’s why I love you so!
And hey, let’s shut down those silly self-identify as so-called ‘Buckeyes’.
Let me here some testimony about the quality of Chance-enabled parties!
Give it up here people!
*Chance Party Rookie, hee hee hee
Damn, I’m already promised to thinksnow
Wait, that didn’t come out quite right…
Seriously, unless a better mooching environment will be created with this party, I’m sticking with the generous and loving crew of OhDope.
Um, for those of us that missed the first Chance shindig, whereabouts are you? Or am I to drive around the five states mentioned and listen for the debauchery?
Since I got totally boned the last time there was a party,
I WILL be at the Halloween bash, and any friggin’ emergency proposals will have to be done without me.
May I suggest Smarties or Sweetarts?
So…it was a good party for you? 
How about this, Geobabe? It’d be nice to see it on someone who can do it justice.
Oh, and Medea’s Child: mooching is encouraged at JC’s party. Trust me. He was practically begging us to eat back in June.
[sub]Please come? And tell Le Sang about it?[/sub]
Clue number 2:
We all want to meet him, but he’s ever so elusive.
Medea’s Child, I can’t really speak to a ‘mooching’ environment except to say that I lay on the entire spread myself. Loads of food and fun. Just ask around, someone will tell you.
But I’d never go poaching on an Ohioan. Never occur to me in a ka-billion years!
Verrain…always glad to help. We live in the mountains of Virginia near the WV line south of Harpers Ferry. I’ll be putting up a website with directions and further info in a week or two. We’re about an hour from DC and maybe 1.5 - 2 from Baltimore.
Of course, if you lived in Leesburg, you’d be home now!
Goboy…how about Smarties and Sweetarts! I know you got hosed last time and I want to make certain you have a great time this time. Anything for a pal!
Anyone else?
Oh, and of course we’ll be having Sweet-T’s special ice cream sundaes again. Hope you all aren’t too disappointed by that fact.
I’ll tell you! There’s . . . lots of food! Circus peanuts! Squirrel Nut Zippers! Peanut Brittle! Pretzels! Chips ‘n’ dip! Oreos! Cheetos! Fun vegetables! Ice cream! Pies! A BIG-ass sub! Buffalo wings! Lasagna! Something with bacon! Root beer! Real beer! Other assorted beverages!
Fun: Watching Airman Doors lose $15 to JC on music trivia, then watching AD come up with (after an initial wrong guess) Davey Johnson (I think) as the second-baseman with the most home runs in one season! Howling along with a CD! Wondering what was under that one guy’s quilt! Watching John Corrado’s girlfriend talk about kiwis and pet JC’s head! Distinguishing between the two JCs! Shouting “Two! Two! Two!” in a room with lots of other people doing the same. Hearing about instant beer! Doing an impression of a capybara! Chasing Lucretia’s two female kids around while being exhausted at the very same time!
It is currently tied for first place as the most fun I have ever had at a dopefest. It would be in first were it not for the fact that I was running on fumes for the last three hours (dopefests tire me out the more fun/involvement I have at/in them). I have been to . . . a lot. Probable closer to 20 than to 10.
Ah yes, but I will. Medea’s Child, I swear you will have fun here:) You and Le Sang can drive down and he can tell you all about the dopefest on the 2nd and . . . it’s not a very far drive from Pitt, is it? ::goes to mapquest::
Oh. Crap. It’s like 300 miles to JC’s place.
You could talk about a LOT with Le Sang! And do your homework on the way! And ::collapses::
Well, I was thinking more along the lines of generous helpings of cleavage rather than full-on exposed breasteses, but I’ll give it some thought.
I can attest to JC’s generosity with the food and fun. The June 'fest was tremendous! Although I have vague memories of Bluesman making some weird and disgusting combination of foods nature never intended (it was something like candy and onion dip or some similarly revolting mix; I think I’ve blocked it from my memory).
This was a lot of fun, but what was even MORE fun was wondering what was under that OTHER guy’s KILT.
[sub]Preview is my friend, especially when I did not sleep the night before . . . [/sub]
Flashback to high school to this incredibly hot girl who happened to have generous helpings of cleavage as well. And she was nice.
One of the few people I truly miss from high school.
Geobabe can you really afford to go with the huge amounts of cleavage thing? Remember what happened last time out on the porch!
You think we have trouble controlling ourselves now…
Aww heck it’s a bit of a trip from New Jersey but if you have a place for me to stay in the area count me in. I’ll just take off from work
I would love to come!! I don’t drink beer or wine, but if it’s alright with you I’d like to bring a few bottles of my favorite Rum. I don’t eat much and I promise I won’t lurk one on (I was gonna say one, but more like a hell of a lot of you). I’d like to meet my fellow DC area Dopers.
Great, just great!
MannyL, you’re more than welcome to stay on our couch etc. I’m sure we can find something for you. Or, if you’d like, I can plug you into the local Days Inn. We’re kind of short on hotels this far out but I’m sure something can be done!
Tabeitha, by all means bring Rum. We don’t serve it but we won’t prevent you from bringing as long as you share with the other guests…no hoarding! The only thing I ban at our parties is anything illegal. And don’t get falling down drunk in front of the kids. We once had someone pass out on our kitchen floor in the old house in Kensington. How embarassing!
Also, I advise everyone that young SNenc is moving back to town with a new job. I’ve invited him to the party and hope he can come. Let’s give him some encouragement here, people!
So we currently stand at:
**
Montfort
Anniz*
iampunha
Lucretia, Bluesman and the most polite, well-behaved children the world has ever known
Weirddave
Tranquilis*
RTFirefly (who should just paint a mustache on and talk fast)
Zappo*
Geobabe
Tabeitha
MannyL
SNenc (if we can make the sale…)

And for the candies in the goodie bags we’re looking at:
**
Candy Corn
Smarties
Sweet-Tarts

I know there has to be more candy that people love out there. No one’s even mentioned anything with chocolate yet!
What’s the deal?
