I’m keeping an eye on the PhilaDope threads, for when my schedule frees up next month. ---

I was wondering where you’d disappeared to. Haven’t seen you since February. We should have a couple of dinners next month at the very least. ---

Looks like **Meros** may be joining us too. Too bad there isn’t any beer there that I can get him to buy me… 😉 ---

That it has. And we won’t really be able to meet in two weeks because that’s July 4th. Hopefully the week after that… or something. ---

We should have a couple of dinners next month at the very least. \*\* A lot of people haven’t seen me since February. I had tournament season, then the spring holidays, then other stuff, etc, etc, and now I’m into the last two weeks before the national TKD championship. You’ve been doing a good job organizing the Philly Dope fests, Pisces, it’s just my schedule that’s been stuffed. ---

I hate to do this, but I need to back out. I don’t know if Dave is still going, though. I had a nasty surprise at work. There’s a meeting next week that the permanent employees have to attend, but I can’t be at work without them, and I’m not being paid for that time. Factor in the fact that we’re still responsible for putting in the required mandatory OT, and that means I’ve got to come in this Saturday. Anybody want my job? :mad: Robin ---

That sucks royally. You’ll be missed. Have Dave let me know if he’s going to be there, just so we have an idea on numbers. And the next time you guys want to do Dim Sum around here, just let me know. You know I’ll be up for it. ---

See, it’s all 'cause you moved away before I moved here. After being in NYC, I couldn’t handle being somewhere with a lower Doper Turnout. 😉 Of course, you’re more than welcome to come back over Labor Day to visit and join in on the [Big 'Ol Labor Day DopeFest](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=175839). ---

Well, it appears that Robin and I can both make it, we just might be a little late. She finishes up around noon, I think. So… we’re still tentative, but I’ll go out on a limb and say yes. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Esprix \* > \*\*I’ll be in Toronto over Labor Day for Worldcon - sad for you, glad for me. 😃 > > Esprix \*\* _sigh_ I’d almost be willing to give up a pre-wedding DopeFest for that. Almost, but not quite. If you ever _do_ get back this way, let us know and we’ll throw you one hell of a party. **Doors** , I’ll make sure they know that two more people are coming if you guys don’t get there before we go in. It’ll be good to see you again. It’s been far too long. 😉 So, at the moment, we have **Verrain TruePisces Home of the Braves Zappo Airman Doors MsRobyn Booga Cleophus Meros** and possibly **twickster** , if the weather doesn’t agree with her. Missing anyone? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Meros \* > \*\*So where’s **Cleophus** with his Newton o’ Quotes? \*\* I’m coming, I’m coming! Keep in mind all of these are grossly out of context ;). Also, not all of these are attributed, I don’t quite remember who said what. Concerning food: “Shrimp toes” (me) “Gelatinous shrimp thing” “BBQ Pork bung” ( **Airman Doors** ) “Not-so-sticky rice balls” “Teflon rice” ( **TP** ’s friend) “Congealed shrimp thing” “Sesame balls” And, in general: “I like Dave’s balls.” ( **Booga**?) “When’s your birthday?” ( **Airman Doors** )      “Thursday.” ( **MsRobyn** )      “Oh shit.” ( **Airman Doors** ) “Mango my picture?” “This actually does feel sort of like a breast.” “ **Booga** brains is a meal, **Robyn** brains is a snack.” ( **Airman Doors** ) “It’s just got Amber eating a sesame testicle.” ( **Booga**?) ---

Though i would like to see **Booga** say that since, if I have grasped things correctly he is the mini-Doors.
