Dagnabbit, a perfectly good joke ruined by my lack of sleep and not being used to my new keyboard. That should read “skip, can Auntie Em and I…” “please dont KILL me…PUT that down…” ---

I could get into trouble for saying stuff like that. 🙂 Actually, I really wanted to write in something about The Police’s _Roxanne_ song, but just recently this weekend, **auntie em** told me that, in the song, there is no mention of a red dress (“red,” yes; “dress,” yes; “red dress,” NO!) and now I’m bummed because of it. Sigh… Anyway, **Gary T** , what name is the reservation held under? And, as **psychomonkey** brought up, if it’s not under “Cecil Adams”, can we change it? 😉 ---

All right, all right, the reservation is now under “Cecil Adams.” I kinda liked “Throckmorton,” though. ---

A little off topic, but Auntie Em is just adorable! Just checked out the pics from last years Dopeka. 😃 ---

**Auntie EM** ’s adorability being off-topic? Keep in mind that this is never the case. 😉 ---

Since we’s hardly but a few weeks away from the Dopefest, I thought I’d play bumper pool with this thread just to throw it out there again and see if we can catch any more area Dopers in our nets. Keep in mind that it’s fairly cheap this year; I’ve reduced the amount you need to pay me to attend from a million dollars to a couple of pez dispensers and an old Soundwave Transformers toy. But I’ll also accept that black race car from the Go-Bots if you’re out of Transformers. ---

Crasher! It’s name was Crasher! (The black race car Go-Bot, I mean. I’d really like that one back if you don’t mind.) ---

Isn’t only about $15 for the buffet? Also, can I interest you in any My Little Ponies? ---

I’m a boy, mind you, so if I hear ONE peep out of you about a Rainbow Brite, Care Bear or She-Ra figure, I’m pretty sure I’m gonna do something nasty-like. All I have to do is figure out what I would have done to you back when I was in elementary school. Let me go find an old backpack, pencil box and flexible folder, carry them around for a bit and see if I can ressurect my old (younger) self. ---

A “DK” Could Be Anywhere([It] Could Be Everywhere), fer Frakenchrist’s sake! ---

I actually did mean Dead Kennedys. But thats not the point, is it? OK, so is everyone getting weird looks from their spouses, friends, teachers, parents, clergy, doctors… Because they have a day cleared for a dopefest?
