We’ll be there, although I won’t be a Dancing Girl. (Think the dancing hippo from Fantasia and you’ll have the right idea as to why.) Robin ---

Of course Dave won’t be a Dancing Girl, although he might look interesting in drag. Sadly, I won’t be a Dancing Girl, either, for the reason listed above. Robin ---

“Dave will behave himself, I promise.” Is this the same Dave who boldly stole paraphanelia from the walls in Red Deer? What have you done to him? 🙂 ---

Ginger walks through the thread, checking the paint job and whistling innocently… ---

I think I’m going to have to bow out on this one. Next time there’s a 'fest in this area, I’ll come. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Weirddave \* > … shit like that. Shit like what? Dave, did you _again_ forget the potty is on the _ground_, not the wall where your Baltimore Nevars posters are?😉 **Neidhart** , I’d offer you a ride but A) it’s not my car, B) my car is in da shop and needs a nu engine (and has been giving me trouble for some months now), and C) either car B and I are using is rather full of crap (books in one and general, sometimes sharp, school stuff in another). So unless you fancy sitting on either an old car stereo or a pile of hardback books, … sorry:( Plus B and I flame more than **matt** and **scott** at a barbecue. We are the embodiment of Flamingly Heterosexual;) ---

okay; so since **Opal** isn’t sure she can go either, I guess I’ll have to skip it. ☹ Why can’t you people move to DC so I can get there by subway? 🙂 ---

I haven’t asked here, but is anyone on a restricted diet, like Kosher or Halal? I should know before I put food on plates with other food and stuff. ---

We’re probably going to be a little later than 2. We’ve got some shopping we need to do before we head down. But we WILL be there. And bring the dollar bills if you wanna, **RT**. I’m sure we can find some place to put them. 😃 ---

Anything not being brought that ought to? Got a few hours until we leave (90 mile drive, so figure 90 minutes with traffic) and all:) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/holiday-dopefest-weird-north-style/134422.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/holiday-dopefest-weird-north-style/134422.md?page=5)
