Actually, my tongue was pretty firmly in my cheek for that one, but thanks! I don’t travel very far from home, thanks to various animals that insist they absolutely MUST be fed/watered every day, but who knows?
I have to wonder if they still do signs outside hotels - Doper Convention 11/23-26 - b.c. (before Cecil), I certainly would’ve wondered about that one…probably would have lurked around hoping to get a glimpse of that storied creature called a “Doper.”
I believe at least some of the parties are listed under “Cecil Adams” … You know, like if the shindig is at a hotel, one might register as part of the Cecil Adams Party to get a discount rate, or something.
Or we could all go on the Fargo briefcase-full-of-money treasure hunt, yah? 
Peppermint schnapps? You sound like a yankee!
Posted from Bourbon country.
Schnapps seems to be the drink of choice - I commonly see discarded (empty) pints of schnapps (peppermint and rootbeer outrank the others, with butterscotch running a bit behind), along with scattered Bud Light cans.
Of course, as I said, I’m in a very rural area, so I can’t really speak for the whole state. I’ve never even seen Fargo the city or Fargo the movie yet. (I did drive through Williston on the way here, though.)
I was born in Alabama, though, so don’t be callin’ me no yankee. 
Hey Typo, when there is another Dopefest in Minny, maybe you can hook up with Tripler, when he’s not off blowin up or burning things, he can be found in Minot.
He came down for PorkDope last June, and probably wouldn’t mind much, to have someone ride along, that is, as long as you don’t touch his martini glass.
I’m posting in your thread. I’m certainly NOT a celebrity, but my antie and uncle are, so i’ve got the whole blue-blood thing going.
I think that I’m a newbie too… I’m still getting used to using bold and italics and stuff.
If you like, I could burn you…
Another thing you might want to watch out for are the “it’s not North Dakota, it’s South Saskatchewan” threads… 
La esperant-parolanta bildstriista kliko de la mesagxejoj bonvenigas Typon.
The Esperanto-speaking cartoonist clique of the boards welcomes Typo.
s’not fair! i wanna be able to do the “wise old-time poster” routine… 
magic8ball, honey, I’m not sure if you count as a celebrity, but I sure know who you are! Your snood thread turned out to be hysterical! (I’m 99% positive that was yours, but I’m too lazy to doublecheck at the moment - 1 cup of coffee and all.)
imthjckaz (think I got that right), thanks for the suggestion. (There’s Dopers in Minot? Hmmm.) We’ll just have to see how it goes.
Sunspace, I’ll have to look for those! ND is inherently funny, anyway. After all, the first question we got from all the locals is “Why the heck did you move here?”
garius, just fake it! You registered at the same time I did, but you have more posts, so I guess that counts.
<b>Typo</b> - thanks. Good plan. I’ll just pretend i’ve been lurking for several years
Plus I don’t know about you, but I’ve always been of the opinion that its not the size of your post count that matters, but what you do with 'em…
oops - the html coder in me coming through there…
You know, I was going to say something like that (about the post count), but I couldn’t quite figure out how to phrase it - again, halfway through first cup of coffee. I know what you mean, those stupid keep throwing me off. It’s positively UNNATURAL!
i believe you can actually turn html coding on.
i’m just too lazy.
blushes with shame
Nope, you can’t. It’s an administrator function that’s been turned off for a while, now.
cheers - now i have a decent excuse.
You have no idea. Another Doper in North Dakota? Typo, e-mail me and tell me where yer at. We’ll have our own frozen Dopefest.
Wow! Cool!
Tripler
Unfortunately though, my martini glass met with disaster on the way home from the above mentioned Dopefest.
Friggin terrorists!!
