Let’s play Pic-a-Dope! Pick, at random, a Doper who you never have directly posted to, and say Hi, introduce yourself, and/or say whatever you feel like saying. It can be kind of an online Dopefest! Have fun! Go crazy! wheeeeeee! I pick **Rilchiam** Hi! How goes it? Where you from? I’m MSK. So, have you ever tried screwing a peeled banana into a table lamp and turned the switch on? If so, what happened? 😛 ---

Hi **MagicalSilverKey**! I thought I’d be corny and give a big HI to the person who started the thread! And this is kind of hijacking, but, hi Violet! I keep running into your posts everywhere and you’ve been here only a day more than me but have like a gazillion more posts. ---

Hi, **MSK**! No, I’ve never plugged in a banana, but I’ve heard Penn and Teller explain how to plug in a pickle! Circulating… Hi, **thinksnow**! It’s 90 degrees and our AC decided abruptly to stop working. So I’m thinking “snow”! ---

Howdy, **C K Dexter Haven**. I’ve always wondered about your name, but not enough to be bothered to ask, so…what’s the “C K” stand for and why not just go with “Dexter?” That’s a nice gig you’ve got, if a little cushy. I suppose someone has to do it, though. Well, nice to meet you. ---

I’ve always wondered about your name, but not enough to be bothered to ask, so…what’s the “C K” stand for and why not just go with "Dexter?"** Just in case he doesn’t wander in this way: C. K. Dexter Haven was a character Cary Grant played in [\*The Philadelphia Story](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0032904)\*. Excellent movie – Kate Hepburn, James Stewart _and_ Cary Grant. You can’t go wrong, I highly recommend it. It’s been a year or so since I’ve seen it last, I’m not sure they ever said what the “C.K.” stands for, but if they did, I’ve forgotten. Hi, **Duck Duck Goose**!! – you are my Google Goddess. 😃 ---

Well, **Mauvaise** stole mine–I think **DDG** is just dreamy–but I can rebound from this. I’m going to go against type and say hi to a guy. Hi **iampunha**! Your funny posts make me laugh, and your serious posts make me think, and your tragic posts make me tear up. Just wanted you to know you’re appreciated. ---

Just wanted you to know you’re appreciated. Whut in thu hell . . . someone noticed me and it **wasn’t** because I flirted with them! Evidently I’ve made you either laugh, think and/or smile at least three times (collectively, of course). All I can say to that is . . . Wait, no. There aren’t enough monkeys and the typewriters would call it quits. But it’s nice to know I’m appreciated by those with whom I don’t flirt every half-chance I get:) A big “yo” goes out from me to . . . hmm . . . **Waverly**. [magic 8-ball] It is decidedly so. [/magic 8-ball] **Waverly** , from what I’ve seen of your GD, MPSIMS and Pit posts you’re a fine addition here and a better fighter for The Cause than I could ever hope to be. Just gotta work on that post count;) ---

Nice to see you. It’s just that I didn’t get to the Cocktail Party until late, and it seemed to be going along fine, so… This shirt? Goodwill, I think, although it was new when I got it (the Goodwill in my town sometimes sells new stuff cheap). I’ve gotten some of my best swing stuff at Goodwill and Salvation Army. I do, in fact, like cats; I have three of them (Alex, Tequila, and Fruitcake). They’re about 11 years old. I also like dogs (2 of them), though, so go figure… ---

I also really enjoy DDG, but I’ve addressed her on a couple of threads where she attempted (bless her heart)to address my bizarre neurosis, so she didn’t qualify by MSK’s rules. ---
