What did everyone have for lunch? Did anyone else enjoy a frozen yogurt? Isn’t regular yogurt a healthy meal? Why shouldn’t the frozen variety also be a healthy meal? ---

Repetition. One point. Does anyone think eyor was trying to go for the Rule of Threes? Isn’t it always a good idea to read the rules of a game? ---

What was the meaning of the quotes in eyor’s post? Did Swiddles see in the other thread how lazy I can be? Should I thank her for the link since she saved my lazy ass the trouble of searching for it? ---

Has Swiddles ever turned down a party unless she is exhausted? But how tired will she be after driving (half driving, half sitting) for 7.5 hours to get there, then dancing to Guster? Doesn’t Pinky know she’s welcome to come to Guster, too, if she wants? ---

Swiddles, do you know that if I were invited to such a party, lived even REMOTELY near it, and had the good fortune to be this close to other DOPERS I would be there in a heartbeat? Can you tell that I’m lonely? Do you know that if you lived near me I’d drag out myself? ---

do I need a reason for everything? is this game as difficult to comprehend as it seems? ---

Is Strutter lonely? Where does she live? Can we have one really big Dopefest? What place is big enough to hold all 9000 of us? ---

Does struuter know that she has possibly pushed me off the fence on going? Does soulsling’s friend know that they are now hosting a Dopefest? Will they care? Is anyone else concerned that soulsling isn’t back from lunch, and it’s 2:15? Could his boss have killed him or something? ---

How did Swiddles know I was thinking the same thing? Do you think his boss is chewing him out? Could it be about excessive internet usage? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by SwimmingRiddles \* > What did everyone have for lunch? Did I intend to eat a healthy lunch? Did I succeed? Why did they put a Dairy Queen exactly where I turned off the road? Why did I not go to Baskin Robbins instead? Why does the discussion no longer focus on **Swiddles** ’ ass? Why are her lips no longer a topic of conversation? Why has her ‘big girl bed’ not been more aggressively researched? ---

Is there a way we can find out about soul? Are you as worried as I am? Does Swiddles know that she is on my list of people-I’d-like-to-meet? Would you believe that I’m not just saying that? Do you really think they killed him? Do they know what he can do with that tongue? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Pink Slinky \* > \*\*Could it be about excessive internet usage? \*\* Didn’t soul say something at the last NYC Dopefest about his boss introducing him to the SD? Didn’t that start a conversation about how everyone at the Dopefest wanted to work wherever soul works?
