What if I wear them both?
Unless something unexpected happens, Dominic and I will be there. Rob may or may not come. He’s poopy that way.
Rob is a big poopyhead. He must come. We will feed him vegetarian beer.
Barring conflicts with family events ('tis the season, after all), I’ll be there, and odds are reasonably decent that Mrs. F. might be there too.
For those who say she never comes to Dopefests, lately she’s been to:
- Dave and Ginger’s wedding
- an NYC Dopefest in August
- the MAD Dopefest in Polycarp’s honor
- Dope-A-Ween
We may assimilate her yet. 
Speaking of loops, spouses, and so forth, is it safe to assume that Intaglio is the username of Mrs. Tranquilis?
Hey, I play with the kiddies at least as much as I used to:) Although I dunno if that “Mom, I’m gonna go run outside” “want me to chase you?” “Sure!” dialogue will take place again.
RT, you forgot louses and spoops, though I suspect the latter would be in an alien state outside a work of Lewis Carroll;)
Yes, that is correct, I am Intaglio as well as Mrs. Tranquilis.
Let us know what to bring, last years party was good.
All of these people asking what they can bring - how about a straightjacket and some Prozac?
There was a Doper had a wife, and Intaglio was her name-o
Intag, Intag, Intaglio … Intag, Intag, Intaglio … Intag, Intag, Intalgio, and Intaglio was her name-o
Hmmm…Not only is that really close to the hols, but we have a buttload of birthdays then, too. Finances may not allow.
I’ll keep it on the back burner, but I dunno.
dang. 
Oh, I suppose we might make it. Maybe. MAYBE.
Unless there’s delayed Chanukkah at Pint Valium, I am pretty sure we’re in. Got a time of day in mind? And we’d be happy to being a covered dish or summin’.
Nice spelling. Are you sure you don’t want to being people instead?
Starting afternoony. You know, whenever. Ending whenever I get tired of you and kick you all out.
Well, heck, Hamadryad, I was gonna make latkes and everything.
Count at least two of the three Doorses in. Dunno about Airman yet, since he’s out of pocket till later this week.
Robin
Bump.
Been scarce… Come back to find there’s a song about Intaglio and I and everything…
I’ll volunteer to organize the gift exchange!
Are we going to do a gift exchange? I have real, live friends coming as well, and I’ve pretty much said ‘bring your friends’ to everyone I have invited. I don’t know that there would be enough gifts to go around, so I’m not sure about it. I’d also not want to have people think they have to stay away because their finances don’t allow. Plus, there will probably be two couples who are Muslim, and they might be ooged out by that. (One of the couples is very new here, and only here for a short time from Turkey).
I must respectfully decline to attend.
Aw, dantheman, we’ll get you a special little present of your own.
Yeah … what’s the going rate on those?
[sub]HEY! IT WAS A JOKE![/sub]
Anyhoo. Fizzy and I should be there (we’re trying to figure out vacation/holiday driving stuff now … we’ve got it down to just two round-trips so far).
Why would Muslims be ooged out by a gift exchange? Everybody likes prezzies! Last year, I gave Christmas presents to my co-workers ( those chocolate oranges you whack open) and I gave our Muslim mail room supervisor a nut and fruit candy box for Eid Al-Fitr.
I’d love to come, but the bf doesn’t like me being away without him. I’ll see if I can wheedle him into going.
