Well, is it?

I love when cryptic stuff like this starts a new page.

It is.
I’d love to go to an NC Dopefest when I’m down there. It sounds like **Sean F. **might be close enough to join our fun too. Yay! I want to meet more Dopers. And eat chocolate!
You might even get to meet TaxiDriver too. We were dating for more than a year before any of our non-college friends or coworkers got to meet whichever one of us they didn’t know, and multiple people began to question whether it wasn’t really just a pretend relationship. So you could get to see that he’s real and not my imaginary boyfriend!
Oh, and TaxiDriver’s about 6 weeks younger than I am. Does that count for having a younger man?
I believe the opposition to wearing orange on St. Patrick’s Day is found mostly where the celebrants of the holiday are Irish Catholics who equate wearing orange with the Orangemen. The two groups aren’t each other’s biggest fans.
I thought it was from people that didn’t like Syracuse.
Ex recounted a story about walking into a bar on St. Patrick’s Day while wearing an orange hat. I asked if his head was still attached, and he hasn’t answered yet. Is it?
I just went into the bathroom and Aerin was curled up comfortably in the sink. Cat for sale.
My Lissla, it’s amazing what can be done with Photoshop these days!
And I believe my head is still attached. What have you heard?
So I went to our new mall yesterday, to buy some glasses (pretties ) and yeesh I never need to go back. Everything you dislike about malls, plus wicked bad layout making it claustrophobic.
I’m wearing orange today, but it only means that this sweater was clean. I’m very german with a bit of scottish so I’ve got no dog in the SPD race. And I look awful in green. Plus, 1880’s? Newcomers! My folk were billying the hills back at least to 1720. Shocking I know, since I figured us for much less adventurous types.
Wow - are you going for the most MMP posters met? Me, FCM, Taters…who’s next on the list?
MMPP’s - Collect them all!

Yikes!! $25 buckaroonies for ONE glass??? You gots expensive taste there, ashes! 
Quality, not quantity. None of you have arrived until you rub elbows with me.
I’m about four hours driving time from Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill. I’ve never been there, but I’ve always wanted to hit that town for a weekend of club hopping. A lot of the bands from there make the trip up here to Virginia Beach/Norfolk regularly, and most of my musician friends that are in ‘real’ (read as ‘bands that write and perform original material’ - their definition, not mine) bands have played down that way many times over the years.
That’s what I was thinking of too. My family (both sides) are from the deep southern part of the island (my dad has always said that his family came from the West Virginia part of Ireland), and had absolutely no interest whatsoever in what was going on in Dublin and Londonderry. 'Cause it didn’t matter who won, they’d still all be poor sod farmers.
Ooog, tell me about it my friend. I’ve looked for ages for something a bit more reasonable, but noooo. Now if I can just convince people that I’m registering to celebrate my wedding to myself or something, I’ll be set!
Only elbows VunderBob? Oh, that’s right, you’re a married man. Elbows it is!

Did I miss anything important?
What if I have two necks? Did you ever think of that???
I’ve also met Ashes.
Bob, if I’m ever in the octopus’ garden, I’ll look for your elbows.
Remember that bike we bought? Somebody still hasn’t read his owners manual on the thing.
Bragging about this, 'cuz I can.
Friday, I’m having lunch with the 2005 Astronaut Candidate class. They’re touring all of the NASA facilities, and they’re here tomorrow and Friday.
Astronauts don’t now get the fawning admiration that I would have showered on them as a 10 year old, but it’s still something cool to do.
The jury is still out.
What could possible be in an owner’s manual for a more or less little kid? Braking 101? Cards in the spokes–the do’s and don’t’s? Optional horn instructions? Why they make you wear helmets, elbow pads and knee pad, but it’s still the boys bike that has the bar?
Well, I didn’t rub your elbow, but I let you into my house - that should count for something!
And as for MMPers I have met, at the risk of offending someone by forgetting them…

OK, so I’m sure I’ve offended someone now. I have talked to Rue on the phone and Bumb hosted the lovely and charming Miss FairyChatMoose, but as for anyone else, I’m drawing a blank. It’s not my fault! I’m old!
