I just got the training schedule for one of our customers. Being one of the single guys with no kids where I work, I’m going to be making a number of trips to San Diego over the next couple of months to teach various courses (it’s a good thing I found out where this company is before posting this thread; otherwise I would’ve been organizing an LA Dopefest that I wouldn’t be able to attend). My first trip is tentatively scheduled for 5/2-3 (I would be available Wed., 5/2, possibly Tue., 5/1). Anyone interested in getting together then, or during one of my later trips? ---

Good Lord, man! You’re everywhere! Have fun! San Diego’s great! ---

May 2 is no good for me, but let’s definitely hook up on one of your later trips. I know there are a bunch of other Dopers down here too, although offhand I can only think of Esprix. ---

Heh, it took me a minute, but good one, poopah. As for the rest of ya, I’ll keep you posted on my training schedule. ---

San Diego Doper here. Though from my last thread I am sure no one would want to come visit me! ---

Ha ha, yes good one poohpah, but the Chargers are going to be a hundred percent better this year. That’s right, I’m fearlessly predicting that they’ll win two games in 2001. MamaHen, I missed your earlier thread so I as of yet have no aversion to meeting you. Maybe when Strainger rolls back into town, we could all get together … unless he’s read that thread you mentioned of course. ---

I was in San Diego a few weeks ago, and man, did we all have a blow-out blast! **Esprix**? You’re a riot! And **Greg** - I’m not sure how to explain that stain… **MamaHen** , the check better be in the mail or these photos go up on the People’s Pages next week! Jill ---

Thanks for cluing me in that y’all were gonna be getting together the same weekend I was out there. You are one classy lady, and your lobes are as cute in person as in the Staff Reports. I just want to know if you-know-who is gonna have the stones to post the story about the beer bottle and the duck that was by the lake behind the resturant!:eek: ---

I know I’m taking a risk here… but Dave, I thought Shayna was hooked up with that Danish/Dutch/whatever-the-hell-he-is guy… Man, she sure was drooling all over _you!_ Guess that Spiny guy is history. ---

Jill, my memory is a bit hazy. Where did this ring-tailed lemur come from, and who the hell dyed it green? Please don’t say we raided the zoo. Those keepers really hold a grudge, and when they say they’re going to throw you to the wolves, they usually don’t mean it metaphorically. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by JillGat \* > \*\*Guess that Spiny guy is history. \*\* Shhhhhhhhh! Didn’t anyone ever inform you of the first rule of Dopefests? Discretion, girlfriend. \*\*Discretion \*\*. And under **no circumstances** are you to show the pictures, for heaven’s sake! Yeesh, I’ll think twice now about inviting you to the next one. 😉 **Spiny** , honey, don’t believe a word of this. Really. I was only sortof drooling (it doesn’t count if it’s only out of _one_ side of your mouth, right?). * * * Jeg elsker dig, Thomas ---

Lucky for you that you’re an Admin! Oh, and since when was discretion the first rule of Dopefests ? I thought “Don’t run out of beer” was the first. IIRC, discretion is the 47th rule - right after “Only smash the empty bottles”. Ah well. I guess I’ll have to live with a little one-side-of-the-mouth drooling, things being the way they are. ::leaves, muttering ominous stuff about dreadful revenge and Viking fury :: S. Norman ---
