Of course kids are invited! I’m dying to meet Dominic. And so is Kate. There’s a playset out back and a lot of grass and such to run around in after the candy gets to them. It’ll be fun! ---

Yay **JC!** It’s been a while! I can be there if **punha** or **Opal** can drive me . . . Only thing is, like **Asylum** yonder, I’m not much of a costume person. I guess I’ll come as a wet blanket 😃 ---

When informed of the costume requirement, my wife glared at me and said, “I don’t do costumes.” (It’s true - I’ve known her for fourteen years, and have never seen her in one.) But now she’s busily thinking up ideas. You can too, **Neidhart**. You’ve got three and a half weeks, go to it! 🙂 ---

Okay, okay. I’ve actually decided to come in a **real** costume this year. I’ll leave y’all to figure out what it is. (Hint: It’s a food item.) Robin ---

PIE! I will be there. I might not be able to give you a ride, **Neidhart** , depending on my plans before and after this dig. The odds are actually fairly low. Reason being that a friend will likely be in town and I’ll be entertaining her for the week (and end). ---

Maybe I’ll come as a caterpillar. Then next year, after the results of my surgery, I can come as a butterfly 🙂 ---

We have recently come upon a busy period and my wife and I are currently living in seperate states. My job might also interfere at the last minute, so put me down as a possible. BTW, was there talk in the past about crash space? I can’t recall. ---

There’s camping space and some recliners. Would that serve? ---

You’re a young man, yet, pun. Heck, I barely got it. And I took what felt like 10 years of higher math. ---

That’s why it took so long to gain acceptance, you know. It just can’t commit. Positive or Negative? It doesn’t feel like either. ---

I’ll try to make it if Angie doesn’t mind being without the car that day. As I said in some Pit thread I probably won’t be able to get her to come along. ---

**RT** somewhere in your house is a copy of “1001 Pop Culture References Nobody Under 30 Will Understand”. I shall have to hunt myself down a copy of the newer version … “1001 Pop Culture References Nobody OVER 30 Will Understand” … then maybe you’ll understand what being in the dark is like;) ---

It’s called math, pun. I could send you a brochure if you’d like. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dope-a-ween-ii-attack-of-the-dopers/127736.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dope-a-ween-ii-attack-of-the-dopers/127736.md?page=4)
