You could move to New Zealand, and I can move to where you are! We could do like a country swap. This place is kinda cool, but I’m totally sick of it. You might be able to grow cocoa in some parts of the country. Dunno about coffee though.

But yeah, you should!

You’ll need a few cats to keep rodents out of the coffee and cocoa, so I’m. If I’m Vermin Control Mistress, so I also get to be a Slave Girl?

OK for you, but I am **not** gonna wear a jumpsuit and a baseball hat. Proper slave girls look like Princess Leia in _Return of the Jedi_.

While I agree with **pinkfreud** , I also need to point out that your suggestion _doesn’t_ fit in with the [Evil Overlord list](http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html) and if we’re going to do this, we need to do it _right!_

You’ve got my vote, typo and all. I’m not sure how much weight it carries in the new dopers’ paradise, though.

**Inigo** , you’ll need someone to design and maintain an irrigation system for your plantation. I’m just that man. However, I’m no longer accustomed to doing the actual work involved in this task. Perhaps the muscular dwarves can do the heavy lifting in between ice and keg runs.

Duly noted. Minions get jumpsuits, Slave girls get leather choke collars and a studded copdpiece. Done.

If you need me for, I dunno, tearing foes asunder, or leading a charge of heroes against demonic foes, or anything like that, just let me know OK?

I’m not in Minnesota, **Maureen** , I’m fishing on the coast. Well, I was today anyway. I just wouldn’t like Minnesota much for poolside lounging. I didn’t catch a salmon (the run seems to be over) so I bought one at the dock. I caught rockfish though, and that was fun.

Hey! We should do a California Doper fishing excursion next year! That would be fun! Non-Californians invited too. I’ll give you directions.

But I’m sore this evening **Inigo**. Is Fritz available? The Jameson’s isn’t quite working.
