Well, Sunday at 4 p.m. works for T. Lion and I. Just one question, how will we know who we are ? I mean I might feel a bit odd asking for the dopers table. * * * Ayesha - Lioness * * * You sound reasonable. Must be time to up my medication. ---

FWIW, you can see what I look like here: [fathom.org/teemingmillions](http://fathom.org/teemingmillions) My boss is pretty cool:I’m hoping I can take half the day off, or at least four hours. That would get me out of there at 2:45. I’ve never had a problem with taking two hours off, so I’m assuming for now that I will definatly get out at 4:45. I’ll know for sure by Thursday. I’ll tell y’all then, m’kay? * * * You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing. ---

Sorry guys, but there’s just no way I can make it this sunday, I’m going to be taking my girlfriend to a modelling gig (yeah, that’s irrelevant to the conversation, but I just want you all to be jealous 🙂 ). Which is just as well, I’m far more comfortable talking online than in real-life anyway. ---

Let’s meet in the bar. You can’t go and look at Sealemon’s picture on Opal’s site anymore, so…well I know it sounds a little dorky, but I just went to a convention, so I’ll be wearing a name tag and, yes, it will say **beatle**. Let’s just hope it’s not Funny Name Tag Night at Cafe Adobe. See ya’ tomorrow! ---

I’m going to be in Houston for the T’giving holidays (11/22-27), but I don’t know if I can actual schedule finally meeting someone. I may be going out for drinks to the Timberwolf with my pal Dave. More as I know more. Love to meet y’all! ---

## beatle, Alright, you stole my idea right out of my head, I was just about to post that I am making me a name tag too ! I still am and yep I’m going with Ayesha, heck I like Ayesha so much I’m thinking of changing my real name. So we all wear name tags. OK cool. But just in case I will be the short wide woman with the 6 ft. tall man who looks kind of like a domesticated werewolf, that will be Loin. Ayesha - Lioness * * * You sound reasonable. Must be time to up my medication. ---

Sorry. No name tag. But I’m the blue-eyed, blond, glasses wearing, 5’10" pale guy that’ll be holding up the bar, drinking a margarita. Think of me as a blond, chubby Clark Kent. * * * You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing. ---

Sealemon, I’ll make you a name tag. Now is anyone else showing up ? * * * Ayesha - Lioness * * * You sound reasonable. Must be time to up my medication. ---
