Good Lord, does this woman have no sense at all?
-
Glad they changed the locks.

I’m really REALLY wishing a web cam was set up, just in case MC gets in when no one is there.

If auntie em doesn’t update today, I think I’m going to have to make a road trip to KC. Who’s with me???
DeVena, I’m not sure what you could be doing in KC. Didn’t she say she was in Topeka?
OK so my geography sucks - it’s all Kansas, right? or did I get that wrong too??
Holy crap! What a thread! Excitement, Suspense, Intrigue! I can’t put it down!
She’s a nutjob. I wonder why she’s angry with everyone for giving out personal information. This could mean one of two things:
-
She’s absolutely clueless as to why anyone would be looking for and can’t believe the police were involved because, well, she was coming back anyway, right?
-
Or, she’s embarrassed now that she realizes that what she’s done has disrupted so many people’s lives and made her the talk of the town.
I’m guessing it’s the first one.
In any event, I’m glad that she’s okay so we can see her get her just deserts (mmmm…just desserts :drool: ).
Well, “Kansas City” rears its name in both Kansas and Missouri. Generally speaking, though, when one refers to Kansas City, one usually means Kansas City, Missouri and its outlying metro areas (which, ironically enough, includes both Kansas City, Kansas and other Kansas towns).
Topeka is about an hour and 15 minutes West of Kansas City; however, when I think of Topeka, I normally think it being in the Kansas City, Mo metro region–even though it’s big enough and far enough away that (beside it being a state capitol) it’s obviously its own town.
That said, if you want to say you’re coming up to KC when you really mean Topeka, you won’t offend me. 
Oh, and if you’re coming up, you might as well plan on invading our town while we’re having our next KC Dopefest! 
DeVena: Yeah, it’s all Kansas - and Topeka is less than 2 hours away from KCK, so you weren’t that far off. (Actually, if you just say “Kansas City”, some people will think you mean the Missouri side. Not me - I’ve got relatives in KC, KS - but some people.)
Now, honestly, Skip’s post wasn’t there when I previewed. As it is now, my response looks snarky after his, and I really didn’t intend that.
Why am I not surprised that a NE Texan posting from New England would choose the wrong Kansas City with which to side? 
Really, you didn’t come across as snarky. In fact, I realky thought it was funny, especially this:
bolding, mine.
That cracked my stuff up–hell, I thought it was perfect timing on your part. 
Mostly, I’m just annoyed that I didn’t have the wit and timing to post that after you. If I had done it on purpose, I probably would have overplayed it.
Anyway, after years of driving from Houston to KCK, it’s always the first KC I think of when people say KC.
No snarkiness taken - but just remember, if we’re ever on a Trivial Pursuit team, don’t give DeVena any “light blue” questions!
And thanks Skip, but truth is, all that is just too close to my brother and family in St Louis. If I came to Dopefest, then I’d have to stop by and see them. Ummmmm No. My brother’s an asshat and his wife is just a cold heartless b*tch - the kids have no hope. Thanks, but NO.
Wow. Mondo entertaining thread. I’m impressed.

Come on down! We’ll leave the light on for you, and offer you a complimentary continental (read: a stale glazed doughnut and a styrofoam cup of hot goo mined from the tires of a semi) breakfast.
I think this may be the end of our tale, folks. The list of “casualties” (i.e., folks who have now been cussed out via phone by MC for their cooperation with the police) continues to grow, and now we’re getting calls on MC’s line from people who are NOT asking simply, “Is MC there?” but rather “Does MC still work there? No? Why not?”
:dubious:
We have not, however, heard from or seen MC herself.
This is the way the story ends,
this is the way the story ends,
this is the way the story ends,
not with a bang,
but with a reclusive nutjob who’ll now probably try to sue ME for sharing this drama with 34,000 people.
That’s it?
I want drama!
I want a screaming hissy fit in the middle of the work area, complete with Spanish curses and flying spittle!
I want staplers heaved across the room!
I want a quivering boss huddled in the corner, covering his head and moaning, “I didn’t mean it! Auntie Em made me!”
I want Skip and Auntie Em to kick her sorry ass out the door, and then toast each other with chocolate martinis!
After two multi-page threads, this can’t be it!!!
But there has to be more… What am I supposed to do next week? Work?! I don’t THINK so.
Please please update us on Monday. Maybe we’ll get our hissy fit after all.
Last one to leave be sure and turn out the lights.
I don’t think this story will be over until she comes back to your office to get her things and her last paycheck and gets FIRED.
Esprix
I’m with Esprix on this one. We need closure!

Not the Redline!
