I think the zoo’d be fun. I had an _excellent_ time–thank you to everyone. It had been far, far too long since I’d been dancing. :^) And I got to come close to competing with my officemate’s weekend stories. ;^) ---

**Mirror Image** loves the zoo. She LOVES THE ZOO, dammit. I am still on such a high from this weekend. It was the best time I’ve had in _years_. **misstee** and **Erika** were awesome helping me buy new jeans - I asked them to be supportive just in case I couldn’t fit into one size smaller than I bought two weeks ago - I bought _two_ sizes smaller! They were totally stoked for me. We danced. We drank. We played. (I _love_ to play.) This is just the _best_ group of people. I love you guys! Okay, enough of this sappy, sentimental stuff. **withaK** , let’s hear one of those insults, please. ---

How do you feel about the zoo, **Mirror Image egamI rorriM**? 😉 As for a zoo trip: I’m up for it. Can I bring the puddin’ doll along? ---

I think **withaK** has a drill this weekend. So how does next weekend sound? Saturday, October 11? **misstee** , I hope you’re ok with this, since I’m horning in on your event… :o Looks like its $7.50 for adults, parking is free, and it _is_ open year round. [KC Zoo](http://www.kansascityzoo.org/zooinfo.htm) Oh, ho ho - I’m getting excited already! Hanging out with my peeps! My homies! Peeps and homies! Homies and peeps! I’ve not been drinking. I swear. I’m fine. Everything’s fine. Its getting late and I should go to bed now. 😃 ---

I can’t do it the 11th-- I have a family obligation that weekend and the weekend after is the Iowa State University homecoming game and I have to be in Ames for that. The earliest I could do it is the 25th, unless we do something really freaky, like go on a Friday or another week day. ---

I can go to the zoo on the 18th or 25th, unless y’all decide on a Friday, which means I can go on the 10th or the 17th, IF someone with room to spare wants to brave the wilds of Fulton and give me and the 2 chilluns a ride, 'cuz my car won’t make it for a 2 hour drive. I’m sad. I missed an awesome party last weekend. ☹ Damn job. ---

Did anyone else have their head firmly lodged in the ass this morning? It took my _four_ tries to get out the door - I forgot my keys, then the party leftovers, my money, and my ID. I drove the Buick this morning, but the garage door opener was in the Tempo. Which was parked in the street. So I stopped in the street to get it (there were no cars coming) then all of a sudden here comes somebody. I’m parked in the middle of the frickin’ street, wrestling with car doors, holding up traffic. The I get to work and leave my wallet in the seat. In plain view. Had to turn around and walk back to my damn car. Sad, sad story, I know. ---

ahh **spurfie** , I am still in my jammies, sitting in front to the computer, holding my little girl. not trying to get out the door at all. However, yesterday, I was all in control. I got to work early, got all my crap done and had time to sit around and talk about the weekend for a little bit. [hijack] I forwarded your e-mail to **withaK** , so he can communicate with you via e-mail as well. [end hijack] I will check back on this thread later to see if any one else has any thoughts on the zoo. ---

Apparently, my head is still in my butt. It took me three tries to get _out_ of the building to run errands this afternoon. I’m going to blame it on the rain - but I promise not to sing Milli Vanilli. ---

I just got a phone call. It went like this: “This is **sperfur** , may I help you?” “This is sper’s dad, may I help you?” “Hi!” “I am NOT! And quit acusing me of it!” After a 3 second pause, I got it. Ha! 🙂 He’s a funny guy. You all wonder why I’m screwed up - now you know. 😃 ---

I love [hanging out with dopers](http://wikkit.com/Kczoo8.jpg). I’ve heard that [your cat](http://wikkit.com/Kczoo2.jpg) has experience with the [whole butt area](http://wikkit.com/Kczoo4.jpg); I’m sure [he’d](http://wikkit.com/Kczoo9.jpg) be [more than happy](http://wikkit.com/Kczoo5.jpg) to help you out. You may have gathered that [I](http://wikkit.com/Kczoo1.jpg) liked the KCZoo. I’m always on for the zoo, [schedule permitting](http://wikkit.com/Kczoo6.jpg). I’m glad your only photo of me is me chewing, it adds to the mystique. I should have taken the camera to the bar, or started using it after we got back… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/live-from-mo-dope-can-you-hear-me-now/204229.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/live-from-mo-dope-can-you-hear-me-now/204229.md?page=4)
