Don’t worry 'bout it, **MeowMoo**. It’s just a meeting of our world-controlling ultra-secret society.

I have a feeling that nominations for new members may wind up on the agenda. When that happens, you’ll be a shoo-in for inclusion. We’ll let you in on the secret handshake and required sex acts then.

Ladies and Gents, Cats and Kittens. Welcome to, what I hope is the first of many…

**Doper Brat Pack Weekend Extravaganza**

I know I’ve promised you something like this for a long time and I want to make sure that you didn’t feel I had left you guys. Tonight is the night when we show this message board the meaning of fun. So get those beers on ice, break out the Baileys, order in some takeout if you want, because tonight the internet is our playground.  
Alright down to business:

Tonight we are going to starting off with a little poker, courtesy of our good friends at Yahoo![sup]TM[/sup]  
Here is the website: [http://games.yahoo.com/games/login2?page=po](http://games.yahoo.com/games/login2?page=po)

If you do not have a Yahoo! account then you’ll have to sign up if you want to play. Please use your doper names, it’s just easier that way.

You find me waiting in Social Lounge 6. When I see your names I’ll invite you on.

So, I see our illustrious self-appointed leader is one of those people who plan major events the same day they’re supposed to happen. 😛😉

Can’t make it. Will be away from the computer until Sunday.

Oh, I see. Guileless Flying Turtle is so cool with the Batman references, but when the chips are down and his brethren need him, he flies off to demolish Tokyo or some other pit-worthy endeavor.

I have some RL things happening tonight, but I will try to stop in to play for a few. I’m sure you will recognize me by my username. 🙂

And who says spontaneity doesn’t pay off. :mad: ☹

No, you have your fun in the real world tonight **Rufus**. It looks like my carefully designed plan has come crashing down to Earth. Alas I never was the greatest planner. So keep the beers chilled, put that takeaway on hold, because next Friday, it’s be there or be square.\* We will have this party, we will prove to the SD community that we are a partying force to be reckoned with.

\*Actually it’ll be more like be there or I’ll be the sad loner sitting at his computer. ☹

Did you say ‘carefully designed?’ You need to lay off what Ghanima’s been smoking, pal. 😃

No, no, you guys go ahead, don’t ditch on my account. I’ve just gotta go visit the parents this weekend. (Momthra, and King Dadorah, natch)

So, how does one go about becoming a Doper Brat? Is there an application form? Some sort of practical test? Do I need someone to sponsor me for membership? Or do I just show up with beer?

I see that others have their social agendas for the long weekend.  
Far be it from me to “preach” but I thought the Doper Brat Pack™ must be the highest priority in the lives of any of its members. Nevertheless, since this was just a “test”, I’ll go back to the Naughty Medieval Lesbian Wench Dungeon of Punishment Chat Room.  
Let’s see, I was just about to apply the nipple clamps.

There is a very complicated and exclusive screening process, most of which involves slipping large sums of cash in my direction.

Hey **Tick**?

What hours of operation are we scheduling for tonight’s tourney? Inquiring minds want to know.

I have plans to take Cardsfan out for his birthday and after that I am in! (might even get him to join in) btw…is this strip poker? Strip poker is fun. If it’s just 5 card then I am going to be slightly bored.
