There we go. A whole new thread for a new year. According to last year’s thread, **Aguecheek** and **Saltire** will be at the George & Dragon pub tonight. Unfortunately, I will not be there. I am invoking the currently popular “I’ve got a cold and a bunch of smoke and loud talking will only make it worse” excuse. I should be there next week. I’ll post a link to this thread in last year’s, as well. ---

Being an invincible Iron Man, I’ll be there between 7:30 and 8. ---

Hooray! A new thread! To which all I can add today is, sorry. Maybe next week. Good luck to the team (Rosemary’s Baby New Year? Auld Lang Sinusitis?). ---

I will be there only if **Anastasaeon** promises to come and show us her penis. ---

**Cervaise** is referring to [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=294894) I agree. Since \*\*Anastasaeon \*\* is one of this week’s new doper heroines, and she’s said in the past that she might come to the quiz, this would be the perfect night for her to join us. How about it, you Ballardite, you? ---

Heh. Erm. _blushes_ My apologies for never showing up… I’m pretty shy… well, almost painfully shy in person, so I’ve been putting it off. I got brave and posted here, and then… just didn’t show up. :smack: As for tonight, I didn’t realise it was Tuesday until 5 minutes ago, and I _do_ already have plans made. I need to go to the bead store to spend my Christmas gift certificate from my FIL, and then tend to my own penis at home. (that would be my husband’s, lest anyone get any weird ideas). One of these days, though, I will show up, just to conquer my social anxiety. You all sound like a good bunch. ---

I got brave and posted here, and then… just didn’t show up. :smack: No worries. I myself curl myself up into a foetal ball at the mention of meeting strangers. But one they’ve stopped pushing you into a corner, pointing, and laughing derisively, it’s all fun and games! In all seriousness, I’m fully hip to the shyness thing, and all I can say is that we’re all very nice people (and _very_ good looking, natch) who’ll do their best to make you feel comfortable. Come when you can and when you want. You’ll be welcome whenever. [sub]penis![/sub] ---

But one they’ve stopped pushing you into a corner, pointing, and laughing derisively, it’s all fun and games! It really is. In fact, it’s even fun and games _while_ we’re pushing **Aguecheek** into a corner while pointing and laughing. I’m not going to make it tonight, but I’ll try for next week. ---

I’m dealing with three simultaneous crises here at work, so please don’t expect me tonight. Next week, though. And there better be penis. ---
