**seriousart** it really does sound like someone messed up the day of the airing. It makes much more sense that an Xmas card would be in a scene sometime closer to the actual holiday. But be sure that now we know that there’s something to look for we regular ER viewers will keep our eyes peeled for it! ---

**seriousaert, voguevixen** I work for the same big-ass company. I’m thinking a Crown-Dope is in the cards. Bw’ha! ---

I’ve already heard mumblings aboout next week’s episode. “Susan said it’d be on next week’s episode!” How the Hell would Susan know? I think she just figured, you know, since it wasn’t on THIS week… Like I said, if I get genuine confirmation of when it’s going to appear, I’ll let everyone know. ‘Til then, thanks for watchin’ and sorry for the false alarm. And hey , Hey you!, who knew my little place of business had all these Dopers lurking around? I’ll keep an eye out for you guys by the chicken strips 😃 ---

I think maybe it was in the envelope Bob taped to his chest with DNR on it. 😃 I was sorta annoyed by how many green things there are on that set. What a lot of false alarms! (Is that it? No, that’s a green file folder…Is that it? No, for some reason the Dr has a green “cozy” on the end of their stethescope. Etc!) Crown-dope – _snort!_ I love it. Do I have to go all the way to Kansas City? ---

Sorry, **Seriousart**. I just _swear_ I’ve seen someone say something along the lines of “I have a greeting card that is going to be shown on ER this week” somewhere else recently. I only lurk on this board, televisionwithoutpity, bulldogsworld. com, and occasionally digsmagazine. Maybe was it one of the others? Or maybe it was just my imagination… ---

What a major bummer, **serious**. I was in a mental Christmas card frame of mind, focussed on anything green that moved or stood still while still trying to figure out what a Christmas card would be doing in an episode shown in November… Keep us posted. It’s bound to show up eventually. Maybe they’ll do a last minute switch and make it an Easter card, just to build up the suspense. ---

We’ll all be looking for it when the decorations go up in the ER. They should hang lights on Frank or Jerry to make it more festive. ---

Wow! At least three dopers working for the same “big-ass greeting card company[sup]TM[/sup].” So, I’m thinking that maybe there’s a market for SDMB-specific cards. You know… 1. _Congratulations on your 1,000th post!_ 2. _When come back bring pie._ 3. _Hi Opal!_ 4. _My deepest sympathy on your recent banning_ 5. _Why was my thread locked?_ 6. _Happy Moderator’s Day!_ Got any more? ---

I’ve seen the “Hi, Opal” reference elsewhere. What does it meanand how did it start? Needs to Hit Boards More Often, Patty ---

**OpalCat** is one of our more prolific posters. She once had a thread about how she doesn’t consider a list to be a list unless it had at least three items in it. That’s why item 3 in a list is a Shout Out to **Opal**. ---

And anyone faking their own death (or getting a gift of Mexican Fat Burners) would of course receive a “Gotcha-ya” card. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-im-gonna-be-on-er-tomorrow-sort-of/212836.md?page=1)
