I can relate to most of what **twickster** wrote… who knows if I belong here. Time will tell, maybe not. Oh well. ---

( Sung freely and with atrocious sense of rhythm to the tune of " When You’re A Jet" ) Dear **twickster** , When you’re a Dope(r), You’re a Dope(r) all the way From your best kitschy lamp To your first posted “a” Being a Dope(r) Doesn’t mean you’re a fool- A chain-smoking hack Who slurps pasta fazool. 'Cause you’re a Dope(r) You can hold your head high Yer funny and clever and oh so sublime ( /Sung freely and with atrocious sense of rhythm to the tune of " When You’re A Jet" ) In short, your very disinsterest in those things that you find to be overwhelmingly Dopish is the very thing that insures your Dopeliness. Like many of us, you are a bold individual who strikes out on her own. You want to tap? You go and tap. You dig movie musicals? Well heck, so do many of us- myself included. Why just the other week I was introduced to the heady edgy skewed world of **Hedwig and The Angry Inch** , which makes **The Rocky Horror Picture Show** look like \*\*The Kraft Family Hour of Musical Bemusement \*\*. 😛 I’ll go out on a limb here ( disturbing how much of my time I spend out on limbs, considering my terrifying girth. I obviously live near very stout trees… ) and say that you’re a Doper precisely because you are your own person. Now, put down the ballpeen hammer **twicky** and sit and have a nice chammomile tea. 😃 Cartooniverse, who is totally in on the Movie Musical thread. Quick, someone start one !! ---

A swinging, free love, “hippie” kind of girl… mmm… older hippie chicks. Sweet lovin’ there. Yessiree! ---

Hmmm, apparently, IANAD, either. I’ve known that for awhile, but I’m hanging around anyway. I barely made it through LOTR. And I thought it was kind of boring. Just not my type of movie. I’ve never seen an entire episode of _Buffy_ or _The Simpsons_ or _Futurama_. I’m a huge fan of _Third Watch_, but if I bring that up in Cafe Society, people usually respond with “Third What?” It annoys me when the “Whatcha Readin’?” threads dissolve into “What sci-fi/fantasy series are you reading?” threads. I’m sometimes compelled to scream, “There are other sections in the bookstore, people!!” But I won’t. I don’t even know who or what Chthulu is. I rarely post in Great Debates, either. I never post about my bedroom or bathroom habits. But this place makes for fun reading. ---

And definitely old enough that I’m pretty sure **RNATB** doesn’t _really_ want to see me naked. 😉 C’mon down to **Quasimodem** ’s DopeStock’04 in August. There’ll be dopers there walking with canes and wearing sunbonnets. Probably several who would dearly love to see a young chick of a mere 50 years nekkid. 😉 We’ll be playin’ 50’s and 60’s music. No discussion of RPG’s allowed. (That does stand for Rocket Propelled Grenades, right?) Anyways, if you can’t come to Georgia, at least keep posting 'cause I like to read your messages. ---

**Twicks** I was also a fellow obsessive in the “a” thread. Heck, you even tolerated **Homebrew** and me flirting all throughout the thread. What we need (another turning the big 5-0 soon) is an old doper fest. Yeah, we’ll get together for dinner at 4 PM and then do geritol shots til we all pass out in front of the tv at 7:30 PM right after Jeopardy. 😃 Besides, since you like me and I’ve been notorious about giving **FairyChatMom** grief over being 6 months and 6 days **older** than me, I’m gonna need protection when the two of you takeover the world. You can’t leave! :eek: ---
