. . . and the angel and Spidy and, um, Dale Earnhardt?
No! We can’t tell you! It’s a secret!
Rassafrassin’ NYDopers who don’t think a day in the car is worth a trip to see the MADs.
Oh, wait. I don’t know who those kids are. My son Matthew is in the bright orange suit, but he wasn’t Dale Earnhardt. He was a Nuclear Waste Dude - called himself Radioactive man. The teeny little angel-fairy with the blondey curls is Baby Kate Chance. ADORABLE!
What are MADs?
Maryland Area Dopers?
Geez, some of us weren’t even invited…
You say that as if NYDopers know how to drive cars.
And Radioactive Man is from the Simpsons. Much better than Dale Earnhardt.
MADs stands for Mid-Atlantic Dopers. I coined it! I own copyright!
The two princesses are the daughters of the assistant director of Baby Kate’s daycare. The tiger is the son of the sister of the ADOBKD and the little thief is the daughter of a family friend…her name is Jennifer and she wasn’t looking for treats…she was stashing away Baby Kate’s stuff in her pouch. We had to turn her upside down before we let her leave.
And BiblioCat…all the MADs were invited. That’s what the previous thread was about! We throw these parties twice a year. One in the spring and one the Saturday before Halloween.
Jeez, try to blame me, will you?
Oh, I’m not blaming you, I didn’t see the previous thread.
I’ve never even read any of the Get-together threads.
And I’m still kinda new here. I don’t know the protocol.
Is it an open “everyone’s invited” kind of thing, or am I supposed to wait for a formal engraved invitation?
If a Dopefest is announced on these pages, the assumption is that it’s come-one-come-all; it’s not considered kosher to announce invitation-only gatherings in these fora.
Next currently scheduled MAD gathering is here, BiblioCat. Come join the fun!
I think the only mostly-invitation-only get-together we’ve had up here was our wedding. Now, we’re throwing a little shindig in December for the holidays, and we would love it if you would join us. We’re in Havre de Grace, only a mile off of I-95. A retarded squirrel on crack could find our house.
But it looks so cuuuuute!
I’m putting up all the pictures that I can get my hands on at the TM photorama. Send em in if you gottem, and please for the love of god, go comment on them if you know who the people are!

As RT said, Bibs…
All are welcome at our parties. Note, however, that Chance Estate get togethers are not, technically, Dopefests. We invite everyone on earth and they can be friends of friends.
That’s why I don’t know about a quarter of the people in the pix.
So promise to come to the next one, will you?
I saw mathew!(gingerofthenorth’s spawn,and my FAVORITEST cousin)
Hes all growed up!
I think I’m gonna cry.
Oh, Punha, I just LOVED the whole spandex deal… what were you spandex man?
Superman, actually. It was put together the night before.
Oddly enough, I decided against wearing that costume to OhDope.
snort
Gee, I wonder why? I also wonder if you have a job other than travelling to dopefests?
I don’t know who was in the French Maid outfit, but that’s my costume.
[sub]Did I mention that I’m a 250 lb male?[/sub]
Job? Believe me he has no concept of that word whatsoever. Punha’s life cycle consists of sleeping, eating, visting me and going to dopefests (not necessarily in that order). Despite the funky tights, Superman has got it made.
Ok, I’ve never been to a dopefest, so I must ask: Is it a requirement to bring an adorable child? Or is that optional?
Not a requirement. But we’re aging, many of us. And adorable children frequently come with that.
Not always, but frequently.
