Nope. I’m not scared of any ginsu knife. I’m **Superdude**! My only weakness is Spam™!

[sub]Dammit! Why just I just say what my weakness was? God! ::slapping forehead:: Stupid stupid stupid!

Once. That worked _one time._

[sub]of course, I’m still paying for it, but at this late date, I’m kinda used to it. And I’ve got a really nice tan.[/sub]

You know you ladies might consider a servant for this event.  
You know someone to fetch you a drink, carry your bags at the mall, or anything else you might need ;)😉

This is an incredible idea. Really. I mean, a servant boy to handle our irreasonable wishes and demands **all freakin’ weekend**!? Be still my beating heart!

Hmmmm…I dunno. Might make the other guys jealous. Wouldn’t want to start a feud.

Hello. Ooops…

[girly voice on]  
Hello. I’m… uh… Stephanie… **mrblue** ’s friend, and I was wondering where you were meeting to have this little get together. I love shopping very much, you know. Why, I’m just dying to meet you all after hearing about the Art Fair. Oooh… and we can talk about all the boys…

:shudders:

[/girly voice off]

OK, screw it.

Hey, I went with you to the Art Fair with nary a complaint. (OK, I did have to lie down for awhile, but c’mon, I didn’t whine about it, did I?) The fact is, I _enjoyed_ hanging out with you. I even went to see _My Fair Lady_ in London. By myself. And liked it.

If I promise not to reveal the time and location to the other male dopers on punishment of… oh I don’t know (I’m sure you’ll think of something suitable), could I perhaps be an Honorary Female Doper for that weekend? 😃

(Just don’t expect me to talk about “the boys”. I can even bring earplugs if you insist…)

::sigh::

Take me off the Maybe list, Bunny.

Our financial situation just hit rock bottom and I don’t know that I can pull it back out in time to make this.

Someone grope [p]Persephone\*\* for me. 😉

Well, hmmmmm…an Honorary Chick, eh?

Let me think.

:puts on thinking cap and assumes Rodin’s _Thinker_ position:

Well, let’s consider our pros and cons here, shall we?[ul]  
**Pros**  
[li]You _did_ play a very fine escort for the Art Fair.[/li][li]You carried our packages at Art Fair[/li][li]You **never** complained about us stopping at every single freakin’ jewelry booth so I could look for doggone moonstones (10 extra **Bunny** points for that)[/li][li]You’re an all-around great guy[/li][li]You saw a fairly feminine musical in London by yourself[/li]  
**Cons**  
[li]You’re a dude, dude[/ul][/li]  
I’m open for it. Let’s put the vote out to my constituents.

Ladies?

I don’t mind if a mrblue tags along, but he is not coming into the dressing booth with me to help me try on bras and panties :eek:

Oh **Shadow** , you’re such a prude [sub]not[/sub] 😛

I’ll let him help me slip my dainty foot into some shoes though! 😃

Gee, **mrblue** , are you _sure_ you’re up for something like this? If the voters speak “yes”, I’d advise bringing a book and a camp chair you can sit on when we get to stores like Spiegel and the Bass Shoe Outlet. Could take awhile.
