Hey that’s ok, cutie patootie - you can catch me on the Dope, I’m here every day!

(for the record, while I do love baseball, _Jeeves & Wooster_ and all things Fry & Laurie, the real ZipperJJ does not work at a “club for gentlemen” she is just a boring old Web designer who was looking for a way to get in “hoity toity” 🙂 )

Well, really, now, would an anorexic have as much stamina as me? I ran two miles last night without even breaking a sweat!

See! THAT’s the spirit! Why can’t the rest of you learn from her example? (Sigh)

OK, **Zoggie** show them how to do it! Gimme twenty laps around the block!

Are you looking to get slapped? Don’t start with me. I’ve been in the navy, and I have black belts in jujitsu and tae kwon do. I’m not looking for trouble here, so this is just a friendly warning.  
[/QUOTE]

**ppgrl** , how come you look so new to me? And with those talents? I think we’ve been needing someone like you… Would you mind going to that corner and doing some shadowboxing? I’ll join you shortly and we’ll see what we can do with your talents.

All right, Diggit… I’ll toss out the first host guess on you, now that you’ve come back. Next up: checking out the Mafia game we’re in. 🙂

And, BTW, **Diomedes** gets a “correctimundo” on **DiggitCamara**.

Ohh… I get it now!

**Official Guess: Purplkid\_Caterer must start each successive post with a successive letter of the alphabet.**

(You only had two posts left before you had to go with AArdvark?)

Yup.

I hope it wasn’t my 😛 reaction to the X-games post that gave it away – she’d been concerned (in the chit-chat thread) about where she’d go, and I threw in “X-games.” Maybe she was just worried about reaching the end of the alphabet, though.

Seriously. I think I’d looked at alphabetically at your posts, but hadn’t thought to check sentence by sentence. Good work making it seem natural.

Wow, hosts… we’ve got three guests left, and plenty of time to get them. Could we possibly see a Host victory?  
Prolly not. I bet twickster has a few real bombs in this last group.

Not necessarily – I think I made the quirks too easy this time. ☹

Not that either **Taber** or **Blaster Master** is all _that_ easy. 😃

It’s really hard to tell what’s going to be easy, and what’s going to be tough, isn’t it? There’re some that are going to be pretty obvious, of course, but the ones that weren’t gotten last game were definitely not the ones I thought would be left at the end.

I’m afraid I’m not posting enough, since I have such a difficult quirk, but my quirk doesn’t really provide motivation to post in the same way that “post as Dionysus” does. I mean when Mr. Dionysus sees a post, he can respond as Dionysus but my quirk provides no such set response.
