I vote for **Fenris** and **jarbabyj**! (As long as they don’t require any campaign contributions…!) 😃

Um…sorry… :o

I could have sworn it was pig’s blood too. But then I thought “well…you know…it coulda been goat’s blood.” It didn’t sound right when I wrote it, but, then I couldn’t think of another reference to goat’s blood.

Anyway, **Esprix** , don’t worry. It’s not a subtle swipe. Didn’t you hear the ending? You kill us all! And best of all, John Travolta dies in an unrelated gruesome death right afterwards. Yay!

Hey, **porcupine** , no need to nominate me as King, to return the favor. Sheesh.

Proving I’m mutilingual, I saunter over to the nerds group:

Diana Rigg as Emma Peel. That’s why. Specifically Diana Rigg in wet black leather or, better: her “[Queen of Sin](http://ctrost.simplenet.com/dirigg03.jpg)” outfit. Yow!

O’course he is. Daredevil is a happy-go-lucky character as exemplified by his “Mike Murdoch” identity. Or remember the time, early in his romance with the Black Widow (who wore Diana Rigg-style black leather) where he swung through the streets of San Francisco singing “Good Day Sunshine”? Clearly Miller, despite his brilliant stories didn’t have a grasp of Daredevil’s characters. Which isn’t to say that Miller’s stories can’t be appreciated.

Fenris, multi-lingual, speaking both Nerd and Non-Nerd, just one more reason to VOTE EARLY, VOTE OFTEN, VOTE FENRIS!

It has long been by my mission to get Dopers to shed their bulky accoutrements and in that respect, I’ve begun [demonstrat](http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/misscreant1107/vwp?.dir=/OHDope&.src=ph&.dnm=G+rated+version.jpg&.view=t)[ing](http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/misscreant1107/lst?&.dir=/TS&.src=ph&.view=t&.last=1) one of many techniques.

It’s a start, but I believe my continued attendance to DopeFests will further this movement. I only ask that those that have joined in already consider the restrictions that will surely come to pass should one of the more conservative contenders take the reins.

It is my hope to meet you all, wherever you may be [sub](~160 down, 19,103 to go)[/sub]. Thank you for your support.

Yeah, well, see, I _would_ have voted for you, but you’re all like “I’d _like_ to go to BamaDope and grace you with my presence, but instead I’m tossing you off for yet-another-incarnation-of-a-ChiDope; nothing personal, but I just don’t think I can have as much fun with the BamaDopers who, as we all know, are backwards hicks when compared to the ChiDopers.” :rolleyes: Notice the over-use of commas, which only further proves that it is in fact a genuine **ts** statement.

So I’m afraid my vote’s gonna have to go to the lovely and talented couple of **Fenris** and **Javamaven**. 😛

-BK [sub]who should not be taken at all seriously right now since she _just wants to go home_ and is just this side of punchy, heading right into pissy. Ya know I luv ya, **think**.[/sub]

Sweet, gentle **bobkitty** , my _Underpants Gnome_ friend, I am shocked and dismayed that you would say such grievous things.

I am in fact _not_ going to any ChiDope on the occasion of BamaDope, nor am I aware of one taking place. I had passed thoughts of going to the now-defunct Holi-Dope that was to have been thrown by the lovely and spirited **Juniper** , as that would have been in better proximity to my holiday location (Ohio.) In that that Fest is no longer on the books, I am again considering the distinguished pleasure of making your acquaintance and spending a bit of time in the warmer southern climbs. If you would still have me, I offer my humble servitude and thanks.

Oh.

::cough::

Huh.

::cough cough::

Yes, well… that’s just fine, then. Ahh… carry on as you were. Nothing to see here. Just move along.

You are, of course, contemplating joining us for dinner on that Friday? We have plenty of room. Really. There will be alcohol. And really bad movies to make fun of. Let us know… when you can, of course. No pressure here.
