Here’s an interesting observation about the first photo album of **Skippy** ’s. There are 3 pictures of **auntie em** (his new bride) and 8 of **Enderw24**.

Thangs that make you go _hmmmm_.

Thus, when I went to make the list up, my subconcious took over and erased you. Because of your hotness. That’s the truth and the answer I’ll stick with. Ayup. \*\*

That’s right, and don’t you forget it!

Even more interesting is that the vast majority of those **Ender** -centric photos were taken on **Enderw24** ’s camera. He just borrowed a memory card from me for the day–which is why I posted them.

That said… **Enderw24** ’s a fine-looking fellow. I’m sure **auntie em** wouldn’t mind me exploring in the confines of another, more personal “photo shoot”. Not at all.

Not a bit.

Nope. **Ender** might, but this isn’t about him, is it?

Don’t think that **auntie em** felt left out, though. Did you see her shirt? Obviously she was sportin’ a pretty damn big heart-on for me. 😉

Yes yes. Quite attractive. I had a 5 minute shower that morning before racing to the Plaza through 100 degree weather sporting three day old stubble and I spent the day covering myself in chocolate and swimming in dog urine. Who wouldn’t want to do me? I can hardly keep my hands off myself just thinking about it.

It’s a well known fact the The Perfect Master and Santa Claus share naughty-and-nice lists. Guess which part of the list you’re in? Besides, didn’t **Cecil** say something about a twenty was standard for those wearing g-strings?

Okay, so we’ve got one vote for **ouisey** and a nonverbal yet obvious vote for **Enderw24** from **SkipMagic** (via picture quantity and admitted memory card sharing) for hottest Doper in attendance. Me, I’m voting for **elmwood** , but only 'cause he let me & Horsefoal snap pictures of him. A close second was [this guy](http://www.cyburbia.org/sdmb/DSC01412.JPG) doing his best imitation of Clark W. Griswold from _European Vacation_. Cast your vote folks! Hanging chad and all! Who was the hottest doper/protester in attendance?

All the ladies were quite lovely and attractive, but the hottest was clearly and definitely Mrs. Gary T.

I thought I was hot, but I realized when we got home that the heat was getting to me–I should have jumped into the fountain. I’ve never been mistaken in thinking I was all wet.

It was certainly enjoyable seeing those I’d met before, and meeting those I hadn’t. A special thanks to those who made the longer drives from outside the metro area.

Might have to do this more often than once a year.

Oh my God.

We had a party for my brother two weeks ago at that EXACT table!

Italian restaurant on the plaza, windows facing east onto the fountain? The only long north-south table in the back?

Do doo doo doo, do doo doo doo…

Obviously I have to abstain from the vote because 1.) I’m a hot, blond, long-legged weather girl and I don’t want you to think I’m biased and, really, 2.) How can one compete with the Griswold guy? Did you see the skull he’s using for his belt buckle?

I love him. Seriously. No one else quite expresses “boner” the way he does. He’s a poet.

A visionary.

I survived the ride home. **Wikkit** and **WithaK** were very entertaining. Getting home took less time than getting to Kansas City.

It was great meeting you all. I can’t wait until the next one.

**Horseflesh** , its a 7 person hot tub, so you can come and bring 5 of your closest friends. 😉

Oh, and I want to thank **Sperfur** for giving me a ride home, despite my terrible navigating skills.

“Ok, turn left…no, the other left! Now turn on the next street. Oh, wait, I meant the _next_ street.”

How the hell could you forget **ouisey**? All of the doper ladies are ridiculously attractive, and us doper dudes are, well, look at the pictures…

I think **Skip** had the right idea.

It was a great time. The food was spectacular, the plate captain cool enough to keep a side of beef in for a month. The people were fun, and it was worth the drive. Speaking of the drive, I think Erik and Misty win for longest totat travel time, and I do for longest time driving. We got to Missouri via Kansas from Iowa, so that has to be an interesting journey, right? It was a good drive, though, and I hope they let me come with them to the Columbia fest.

I wish _the Unnamed One_ would have shown up, as I’d really like to meet her.

It was great fun. Meeting Cecil was great, as was getting attacked by short sock monkeys.

Are we going to start a thread for the 7 words you can’t say on the SDMB? Is anyone going to link to the threads they talked about?

Will someone e-mail me when the next fest cometh?

Then he folded his arms, nodded his head, and poof! he was gone in a flash of light. Cool way to travel. Too bad you guys missed it.

Feh, I got $150.  
Can’t tell you what I did for the other $50, though.
