I have got the dope fever. OhDope can’t get here soon enough!
To whom it may concern.
I’m still bribing Superdude into driving me up there, no my “flight info” is limited.
And I’ll be a stressed out puppy whining about papers and exams, but I’m coming anyway. (I ahev two exams and a paper the following Monday…Thermo, Ethics and War.)
Yeah, I’m working on getting Medea’s Child, so there’s not really any flight info on her, unless she shoots up somewhere along the way.
[sub][sup]I tried posting this earlier, but it timed out within seconds. That was about half an hour ago, and the post still hasn’t appeared. If this shows up more than once, I’m sorry.[/sub][/sup]
A Horrible, Funny Story
By Juniper200
Once upon a time, there was a college student who spent lots of time on an internet message board and made friends with lots of the other people who spent time there. They had so much fun on the internet that they decided to have a party so they could talk and drink rather than just post and drink.
The college student (this was a girl college student) spent the first month and a half of her senior year feeling a little yucky, but she shrugged it off because she always felt a little yucky. After half a semester of feeling sick, though, she decided to go to the Student Health Center.
The doctor at the health center couldn’t figure out what was wrong with the college student, so she took two blood samples and asked the student to come back in a few days.
A few days later, the doctor still didn’t know what was wrong, so the doctor took five more blood samples, swabbed some things, asked the student to write down everything she ate and drank, and told the student to come back again in a few days.
A few days later, the student came back and the doctor still didn’t know what was wrong, but the doctor knew a few things that might be wrong. The doctor decided to take two more blood samples (the student was starting to wonder how much blood she had left), swab some more things, and give the student some antibiotics.
The doctor said the antibiotics would be very, very expensive, but the student didn’t worry, because the student was still listed on her mommy’s heath insurance, which paid for all of that stuff. (When the student saw the actual cost of the antibiotics, she was glad to still have her mommy’s insurance, because it probably would be cheaper to just remove the offending organs than pay for the antibiotics outright.)
Then the doctor told the student about the side effects that came free of charge with one of the antibiotics. One of them made drinking alcohol a little uncomfortable. As a matter of fact, this antibiotic was sometimes given to alcoholics to make them wish they were dead every time they decided to drink some alcohol!
Then the student remembered the party her friends from the internet were having so they could talk and drink rather than post and drink, and she wasn’t sure if she wanted to laugh or cry. She opted to laugh, since she thought she might confuse the doctor by crying.

That was a very good story, yes? Well, I’ll let you in on a little secret: I am the very college student from that story! Surprise! So I’m still coming to the party, but I’ll be seeing the whole thing in crystal-clear, unblurred Technicolor. And as a bonus, you get a built in designated driver!
These things always happen to me. :rolleyes:
Juniper, I’m sorry to hear that you won’t be getting drunk so that I can take advantage of you. But you’ll at least have company. I don’t drink, anyway. I may have one, two at the most, but I stay sober the whole time (ask the ChiDopers if you need references). So we could just stay sober and play grabass all night.
Woohoo! And the situation is redeemed! 
(I actually wasn’t planning on drinking very much anyway, after Flintdope’s “I’m not drunk, I’m just stupid…no, wait…” incident. But it’s good to know I won’t be alone. And I’m pretty messed up to begin with without booze, so no worries after all.)
I notice you didn’t say anything about my taking advantage of you. May I presume that’s still okay?
Juniper200are-you-taking-flagyl?-
You’ll-probably-have-completed-the-course-by-the-time-OhDope-rolls-around…You-should-probably-wait-day-or-two-after-you-finish-it-but-then-you-may-drink-at-will.Or-you-could-just-=go-ahead-drink-even-if-you-aren’t-quite-done-with-them-and-we-can-find-out-if-those-warnings-are-true.
Yeah, it’s Flagyl. I’m taking a two week course, though, which means OhDope inbibing is right out. On top of that, the pharmacist advised me to wait a few days to get it out of my system before I tried anything vodka-related.
NO ONE is experimenting with me, booze and these pills. The pharmacist actually said “You’ll wish you were dead. Think formaldahyde in your bloodstream.” I’d say the fear of god has been sufficiently instilled.
BTW: When we get to OhDope, it’s going to be a big shock when you don’t talk-with-all-the-words-run-together-like-this. I know your keyboard is a mess, but it still makes for a funny internal narration. 
A sober Juniper at OhDope. Oh boy.
Here’s a heads-up for you OhDopers–someone cut Juniper off from talking for at least an hour. She is entirely too funny, and the witticisms roll from her tongue like quicksilver. If you don’t make her be quiet, you’ll get really, really bad hand cramps from trying to write down all the stuff she says.
Trust me. I know. My hand hurt for days after FlintDope. :eek:
I just got back from DTF and I am already wishing for more dopefest fun! I can’t wait to see you guys!!!
[sub]Especially that sexy man in the utilikilt.[/sub] 
Awwww, thanks Cristi! One can only appear funny when one is given such sparking conversation from which to draw inspiration!
I’m tired of this medicine already.
<withnail>
I demand to have some booze! We want the finest wines available to humanity, we want them here, and we want them now!
</withnail>
I just want to say that you female Dopers should get a real kick out of my costume. Probably more than the men. Most of the men, anyway.
Just a little bump to remind y’all that Ohio will be having it’s very first Dopefest in just a few days!
Woo!
I missed this the last time through.
You’re a bad man, Kev. Bad.
See you Friday!
And I am really looking forward to it, Medea’s Child.
I’m excited. Are you guys excited? I’m excited.
I should probably get together my costume now.
I’m pretty excited myself, Sophie. Now, if only thinksnow would email me with everyone’s flight info, I’d be happier (he and I had this discussion last week. He knows what it’s about).
I hate to burst your bubble, but that’s not true. There have been at least two that I know of. The first one was right there in Columbus about two years ago. It was hosted by former SDMB members Satan and DrainBead. The second one was about a year and a half ago in Toledo and was hosted by our esteemed moderator, UncleBeer, and his friend, Sucellus. I think there also might have been a couple of Dopefests in Ohio back in the AOL days, but I might be mistaken.
Sounds mysterious.
So, hmm. I’m still excited.
