I would absolutely love for this group to get together…especially for something as special as that to which **FairyChatMom** alluded. I’m just shaking my head thinking about it…What a hoot! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Bumbazine \* > \*\*Do you suppose we could get some chocolate parrots Kallessa? I think I saw some in the latest _Signals_ catalog. I wonder how big they are? \*\* Strangly enough, I got some of these for a co-worker just a few months ago. They are a bit small for shoulder-sitting, being maybe 1 1/2 inches long if I remember correctly. How about I just put a dab of chocolate behind my ears and we’ll all pretend it’s a big chocolate parrot? I’m going to be in New York in April. Well, it’s closer to most of you than Oregon, at least! ---

Rue! What’s wrong with you? You look _horrible_! It’s my… uh… kidneys… no… uh… I have a matriculation of the pancreatic canal. The doctors say I only have [sub]smrphmsm[/sub] days to live. What? I couldn’t understand that. I only have [sub]smrphmsm[/sub] days to live! Oh. That’s bad, isn’t it? Yes, it’s very bad. Since you’re dying and all, do you have a Last Request? No, don’t go to any bother on _my_ account. It’s OK. We want you to be comfortable in these, your last days. Well then, maybe, just maybe, we could have a Cruise-On-Dry-LandDope? I don’t see why not, since you _are dying_ after all. Great! Now get someone to work out all the details! Will do! Thanks. I’m so touched… I think I might cry! No, don’t cry. No one wants you to cry. OK, then I won’t. As long as I get my Cruise-On-Dry-LandDope! And **Kalley** and **Bumba** have to come. _All_ the MMPers have to be there. Even the Lurkers? Even the lurkers. Even the ones in other countries? Yes! Even them! All of them! Or _I’ll cry_! Well then, we all know what we have to do. Don’t we. Yes. We do. -Rue. (FIN) ---

Maybe Santa will bring us all a trip to Ohio. That’s a request I’m sure he doesn’t get very often. \*Cute girl on Santa’s lap, “Santa, for Christmas, I want a trip, please.” Santa, “Ho, ho ho! A trip. Well, that’s a very big present. Where do you want to go to on your trip?” Cute girl, “Ohio.” Santa, “Ho, ho ho. That’s a good one. Ohio. Now really, where do you want to go”? Cute girl, “Ohio. I really want to go to Ohio.” Santa, “Well, it’s your present. Next.” Guy in tight, shiny pants, " Santa, I’d like a trip please." Santa, “Ho, ho, ho. A popular request. And where do you want to go?” Guy, “Ohio.” Santa, “Okay, that’s it. Enough with the practical jokes. I’m busy here, okay. Trips to Ohio, yeah, right. Bring me a kid that wants a doll or something.”\* [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/it-all-about-the-love-people/216257.md?page=4)
