Now, Evil Captor is just funny lookin’. Short? Tall? Thin? Fat?
No. Just funny lookin’.
“Hi, er, Terrorcotta.” 
Q
Hmmmmmm. Do you think that’s a good idea? I know **mouthbreather said as long we’re under ten people we shouldn’t have to pay their cover, but if we’re over ten , do you think the tags might alert them? Guess y’all could have come from another function, though, huh?
For more on the “revenue” requirement check out mb’s post earlier in this thread: here http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=195743&pagenumber=4
Is everyone okay with that? 'Cause I have the feeling we are gonna be more than 8.
Q
Well, that looks pretty. (Dammit!)
Q
Okay, Morelin, I’m more than happy to wear a name tag. But will your name tag say, “Hi, I’m Morelin,” or “Hi, I’m [whatever your real name is]”? I mean, most of the people I know call me by my real name, obviously. (Which for the record is Michael. That’s Michael, not Mike, please. I know that’s petty, but it’s a pet peeve.) But you all know me, in so much as you do know me, as Slowmovingvehicle. So, … Oh, the hell with it. I’ll just put both names on my tag and answer to both. No reason to make a mountain out of a molehill. Sheesh.
As to your point, Quasibill, er, Billimodem, I mean, Quasimodem, maybe if challenged, we’ll just have to deny that we know each other. “These folks? Never met 'em before in my life.”
I won’t call you Mike if you won’t call me Quasibill or Billimodem! Deal? 
Q
Okey-dokey. But would you prefer** Bill** or Quasimodem? Since I make a bit of a stink about my name, I try very hard to respect other people’s onomastic choices.
Anyway, you’ll recognize me by my beard, glasses, and air of slight bewilderment. I’ve often been told I look like Stephen King, for what that’s worth.
Either Bill or just Quasi will be fine.
We’ll just play the whole thing by ear, 'k?
onomastic, huh? I’ll have to look that one up. Sounds like chewing on **Yoko[/b. Something I would rather not think about!
Q
I have always loved the 'Hello…" tags. Best one I ever saw said “Oops, wrong convention.”
That’s one a them 10-cent words. Y’like that sumbitch, eh?
If it had anything to do with chewing on Yoko, it would be spelled “Oh, NO!-mastic.” :eek:
Here’s a list from everyone who has expressed even mild interest:

Email is coming for those of you listed above.
Now, you folks below:

LlamaPoet
Are yous guys comin? We need to figure out a headcount to see if we need to reserve a room at D&Bs or not.
Check that, I have no email for Terracotta either…
Sorry, trying to type email and get this list composed – I am getting ahead of myself:
the reason you folks are listed seperately:
Labdad
1ofthegulls
nuthinboutnuthin
LlamaPoet
Terracotta
is because you have no email listed and I can’t get a hold of you otherwise.
Drat. Gonna be in the ATL for DragonCon, but not the weekend before. 
mb I don’t think FairyChatMom is coming, because of the long drive. She says she loves us, though!
Q
Also, I think Llama Poet is planning on coming, and you forgot to include yourself and gooti , and that puts the definite total at 10, mb.
If you will, go ahead and call D&B and if it’s less than the cost of the room, then I will make up the difference.
Here’s the deal.
The “Executive Billiards Room” :rolleyes: was already booked, but I reserved the “Upper Viewpoint Area” Under the name CECIL from 7pm to 10pm. It’s going to be $60 ($20/hr), plus the $300 food/drink/gaming minimum. We’ll have access to two pool tables in that area for the 3 hours. A couple points:
-
We CANNOT split the bill. So, as to not be a pain in the ass and give our server 10 credit cards to work with, bring cash. It makes things easier for everyone.
-
I am getting a contract via email tonight/tomorrow AM. Once I send this back, My credit card is holding a $150 deposit, and if we cancel after monday, I am still getting charged. We need to make sure that this is a go by then.
Who is the ten, quasi?
You
Diane
Me
Gooti
Are the only confirmed attendees from today’s email. I’ll look for more response to this thread and my email before I agree to that security deposit on monday. Any of you that I didn’t have an email for, hit me up with an email, it’s in the profile.
Headed out for the night now, I’ll be back in the AM.
Mouthbreather, just in case you didn’t get my e-mail, I’m a definite for the Dopefest. (Yep. I’m a definite dope. Er.)
Sorry, MB I was going by who confirmed in the thread, not who answered your e-mail, so with SlowmovingVehicle that puts the confirmed total at 5.
Those of you who are still coming, please let us know, okay? Otherwise we need to make a radical change in plans.
Thanks
Quasi
I’m going to have to bow out. Out of town contract came up so I’ll be down by New Orleans. I’m sorry I’ll miss the D&B thing, I was looking forward to it. However, if you post pictures of any dry humping incidents, I’ll post pictures of my First Annual Bourbon Street Breast Hunt.
