Or, perhaps I am just the token Uninitiated that you all allow to attend each year, just so that you’ll have someone to laugh derisively at.😉 We don’t laugh derisively at fellow Dopers. However, the fact that we’ve all survived the initiation rites at one time or another has a lot to do with why we’re all so twisted. This time, it’s your turn. **JC** will have a waiver for you to sign at the door. 😉 ---

So, some advice (from a mod, maybe)… I’ve sent the evite to everyone who posted in this thread. Would it be kosher to send it to everyone who posted in the recent ‘MAD’s! We’ll all be drowned by Isabelle’ thread? That’s a fine collection of locals, too. Opinions? ---

Bring 'em all, if you can handle the overflow. I’ll work the velvet rope if you like. **tramp** , I am cheesesteak making greatness personified. I should be after having done it for 7+ years. I get all my stuff from Philly, and I make them the right way, only better. I add my own kamikaze-Benihana style to it. It makes them taste better, and it scares the hell out of everyone nearby when I start tossing knives and stuff. 🙂 ---

**Airman’s** cheesesteak was the first and only cheesesteak I’ve ever had. It didn’t turn me off of cheesesteaks, I just know that any cheesesteak I eat will never be able to live up to his cheesesteaky goodness. I tell ya, it’s a helluva way to lose your cheesesteak virginity. 😉 ---

I get all my stuff from Philly, and I make them the right way, only better. I add my own kamikaze-Benihana style to it. Amusing anecdote here … it was getting late (well, by WMATA standards, as **Captain Amazing** had to RUN to get onto the last metro train of the night) when we left, and in the heat of getting everyone together and saying goodbyes [sub]and giving a select few goodbye gropes[/sub], I forgot to bring along the second ch **AD** made me. I was less than amused by this, as I was A) still hungry and B) pursuant to A, planning to eat it on the way home/at home. **JC** , for my two cents feel free to invite the entire doper community if you like. There’s certainly more’n a few folk from the Isabel thread I’d love to see there. Folks I (and you and a few others as well) have been “talking” to for a few years now but never met in person. What better opportunity to meet them than dressed as someone else?😃 ---

[Badger costume](http://www.buycostumes.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=3000(BuyCostumes)&PCatID=&ccatid=) Just a tad out of my price range, but figured I’d post it as a public service. Still no mushrooms, though. ---

Hmmm. Get a couple of them, mount a couple of power packs on the back and Atomic Badger Racing might become a reality! So, should I bring anything? For you folks, I would consider making the infamous chocolate truffles, aka “chocolate heroin”, aka “Oh baby, oh baby, oh!” I’m also hoping I’ll be able to talk **Polycarp** into joining us. CJ ---
