Even more fun than naked pudding wrestling with bananas?  
I didn’t think it was possible.  
BTW, **sperfur** , sorry for being such a poophead.

Well, if I secretly love you, I sure couldn’t _tell_ you at this point, could I? I mean, maybe your husband would get wind of da’ love and I’d get wind of a bloody nose or something. That’s ruin my day–especially if I were wearing white.

Oh, and your e-mail. Um… it turns out that I ended up sending it to your work address. Except now I don’t know if you still work there or not. Or maybe they flagged it as porn spam. I think I mentioned something about **Horseflesh** being tied, nude, to a tree. And the rest of us playing darts. I betcha that tripped the porn filters.

Where I work, they like to switch you to a new email address as soon as you get comfortable with the old one. Keeps you on your toes.

I’ve been here 4 years and had at least 5 different email addresses. (Everyone who guessed just from that description that I work for the government gets 50 hippie points.)  
My husband is a lover, not a fighter. Which is weird, 'cuz he’s in the Army. I’d be more worried about getting a bloody nose from **auntie em** , if I were you. 😃

BTW, **misstee** and I are very lucky in that my husband understands our love and is okay with it. He likes to watch. 😃

My husband is jealous - he never got to watch. 🙂  
hmm, maybe next time.

To stay out of **Skip** ’s threads? I can do a mid-June Dopey Thingy…it’ll be warm out so that means less clothes!

It’s why I lace them with crack and draw pictures of naked boobies throughout. Much like that potato chip, you can’t stop at just one.

I should’ve gone into marketing.

I’m relatively new to the Board, so I have never attended a Dopefest. Let me know when and where, and I will make an effort to be there. It would be interesting to put faces with names.

Can’t promise anything, but if I am available at the time planned I will go. I have summer classes and I believe they start in early June. I also have quite a few things to be doing in between semesters. I have to start doing some outside studying for the PCAT, applying and visiting campus’ and all that jazz. Anyway, go ahead and count me in, I can always bail out if something important comes up.

I will try to avoid anything important. 😉

Welcome!

Lessee… you don’t wanna put **Horseflesh** ’s name to his face because he’s so radiant, so wonderful and so outstandingly god-like that you may be burned away by his brilliance should you get too close. The rest of us wear sunglasses when he’s around. And jump up and down, pointing and shouting, “It’s _him_! It’s **HIM**!” 🆒

Other than that, we’re pretty low-key.

Okay kids, since no other date has been suggested at this point, how about June 13th? Does that work for most people’s schedule?

June 13th works for me. 🙂

Psssttt. He’s just trying to lure you into a false sense of security. He has yet to mention beastiality-inclined mermen that watch you pee, constipated cats, evil sock puppets, men who smear chocolate on their faces, naked pudding wrestling, strip trivial pursuit or licking lessons.

As far as I know, I can be there.

Where, exactly, is there?

I’ll try to get Ardred to come.

See, people, where do you _want_ to go? I was thinking the Plaza again… or maybe we could do a picky-nick at Shawnee Mission Park. Or maybe we could do Worlds of Fun (okay, not really). You know: what makes you all happy.

What say thee, thou and thine?

Okay, listen: the idea isn’t to scare them away beforehand, the idea is to make it seem like we’re nice and normal; that way, when they come and have to experience everything you said above, we can hold them to blackmail and make them come _again_.

Sheesh!
