pLt and I have had a falling out of sorts. Last I spoke to him he went to Sydney for “a couple of days” owing me and my other housemate a considerable amount of money. That was over three weeks ago and I haven’t heard from him since outside of a brief message saying he was staying a few days more…  
It’s developing into a very sad situation.

I guess then that Evil Bitch World Tour has been “postponed” to say the least?

Once Joth and I have moved I think I’ll dothe World Tour thing with one of the other bears we have here. Well actually Evil Bitch is still here so we can still use her. Once we’ve moved I’ll email everyone (if I can find the details) or post a new thread. And this time it’ll happen quickly.

Basically Nymysys, in a couple of weeks I’m going to send a teddy bear (whose name is Evil Bitch) to somone else in the world. She’ll have a journal and a lst of people. That perosn will show evil bitch the sights, take some pics of them all (preferably with a smany local dopers as possible) before detailing the travels in the journal and forwarding the bear onto the next person on the list.

There’s alink to it somewhere…

As long as we’re asking dpr questions, Tasha and I were having a debate on how your name should be pronounced. So what is it?

hehe This question came up in chat the other day…

the suggestions:

DeePR!!! sounds like porn dialogue  
Dapper sounds English  
Dipper sounds … strange  
D… P… R… initials

Interestingly enough, Microsoft Word suggest the word Doper to replace DPR…

Anyway you’d like hyper. There are no wrong answers… just silly ones. 😉  
Who’s got the next question then?

I always read it as “doper” myself. Shows how little imagination I have.

The truth is that it does indeed stand for Dread Pirate Roberts for some of my friends claimed I reminded them of him, and he’s one of my favourite characters.

And let’s face it: he’s cool.

Hey Honey - it is true - you do remind us of the Dread Pirate Roberts - and he is one of my favourite fantasy characters. Just for me DPR - say the words!!! The three words I love to hear!!
