What do you mean? We have to wear clothes to the zoo? Thats it – I am not coming now. OK OK I guess I will come, but I want you to know, I am going to protest the rules. I am going to be naked under my clothes. ---

I was just perusing the [KC Dopefest thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=187465), rereading about the events that led up to it (which led up to the Columbia Dopefest, which led up to…tune in next week for another exciting episode!). The suspense is killing you, isn’t it, folks? From there, I followed a link to the [pics of the first KC Dopefest](http://home.kc.rr.com/skipmagic/dopefest/dopekafest.htm). That shirt you are wearing is awesome, **Baker**. I want one. Where’d you get it? ---

This is odd. I know I posted a reply to this yesterday evening, and now it isn’t here. Hmmmm. Anyway, \*_sperfur_, the t-shirt came from a catalog called Northern Sun. I don’t know if that shirt is available anymore though. But I just ordered and received anothe one that’s fun. It has a picture of the White House on it, with the words “Regime changes begin at home.” ---

My bad. Well, you will fill us in on the racy details, won’t you? That is, if there are any. And my interest is purely scientific. ---

I was thinking you knew my secrets and I was wondering who the heck told you. 😃 Not that I’m going to be keeping them secret much longer. 😉 I’ve got that whole suspense thing sewn up, don’t I? ---

I was by the Topeka zoo today. No action there either. No monkeys on the loose, not even a giraffe running down the street. Have we agreed to the time that we will be meeting? Will we meet up at the entrance? Does **psychomonkey** still need a ride? I’m really looking forward to my goodie bag. I mean my kids’ goodie bags. ---

Speaking of goodies **Horseflesh** , you still haven’t told me when you want the pie. You _will_share it with the family won’t you? ---

[http://www.kansascityzoo.org/zooevents.htm](http://www.kansascityzoo.org/zooevents.htm) Apparently if you bring a big pumpkin with you you can get in free. Count me in! The littlest Marli is very excited; she’s never been to the zoo. What time and where are we meeting? ---

I can get pumpkins. 🙂 I’m taking a trip that weekend and don’t know how many I can fit into my car, however. I’ll swing over and pick up a few tomorrow. Admission is $7.50, and pumpkins are about $2.50 where I get them, so that’s a heck of a deal. Does everyone wonder where I’m going? I’m not telling 'till I get there. 😃 ---

So if we bring a pumpkin we can be naked at the zoo, right? After all, the pumpkins are naked. So are all the animals for that matter. 7 days people! Start perfecting your animal mating calls. This should be interesting. ---

For those who want goodie bags, YOU MUST EMAIL ME. I need to know the age/name/gender of children as I am making things for the bags. I have admission covered for the **misskids** , myself, **Horseflesh** and the **Horsekids**. I have a zoo pass that lets me get 2 adults and up to 5 kids in. Which family are you sharing **Bakers** pie with, **Horseflesh**? Your doper family ? _hint, hint_. I know a secret, I know a secret. Thats all I am sayin’ 😉 ---

Sure, I can share my pie. I picked the chocolate peanut butter pie, didn’t I **Baker**? Bring it on up to zoo, we’ll have some for lunch. I’ll bring a can of whipped cream (pie is always better with that). Who wants a piece of my pie? Don’t shove, there’s enough for everybody 😃 ---

Ooo ooo, I know a secret too! Does yours involve a road trip and animal sounds too? Okay, I’ll fess up; I’m going on a nature hike. ---
