Thank you, Diomedes! It’s a great relief to have people like you keep order around here.

Blaster still owes me a dance that’ll impress me, BTW.

Wow, dot… you’ve been at this party so long, said so much, and yet I really don’t feel like I have a good read on you.

What’s your favorite activity on a Sunday afternoon?

I have no idea what you’re insinuating here. Just because I’m at a party doesn’t mean I’m some kind of snooty rich girl. Us normal people get invited to parties, too.

Being in the debate club. I’m one of the top members of the team, although I haven’t quite made captain yet because they said I was too argumentative. (Excuse me? I wasn’t the one using poor logic or appeals to emotion or ad hominem attacks. And I thought being argumentative was the point. :mad: )

_perks up_ You’ve got a deal. And I forgive you. But I think I could really use another drink right now. So your offer comes at just the right time. 🙂

Oh, c’mon. I think that kind of comment was gauche even back during the Vietnam War. Now, as for the rest of you, how do I get in on this game of strip canasta? Sounds like fun!

I seem to have passed out in the bathroom for several hors. Why didn’t anyone at least kick me? I mean there I am on the floor, snoring like a polar bear, and nobody thinks to say anything…eh, nevermind. What did I miss?

Hmmm…This is a toughy. It’s really close, but I’m thinking I can’t accept it. You’ll have to be more general. Also, it’s not exactly that, that is more or less a symptom of it.

It certainly is taking longer than we thought. The Teeming Millions would be happy to help you in your quest to rid the world of its ignorance. Why don’t you check out [General Questions](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/forumdisplay.php?f=3)? I might even pop in myself if the mood strikes.
