[QUOTE=Jackmannii] What would really immortalize the Dope for all time is if we could commission a special extended-length Jack Chick tract featuring Doper characters. I’d love to see what Jack could do with Diogenes and Der Trihs. [/QUOTE] Dio would definitely be the devil, and Der probably would be either one of those evil guys trying to subvert the young or perhaps a demon of some type…complete with pitchfork and horns! 😛 I think it would be awesome if someone commissioned Chick to do a full layout of the SDMB as some sort of evil den of iniquity and sin… -XT ---

> [@paperbackwriter](#): > > You remind me more of [Adele](http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Adele_July_2008.jpg), actually. How’s your singing voice? Wow…she and I look so much alike that it is almost scary! I’ve never heard of Adele. Unfortunately my singing voice is not good. At all. The government actually\* called me and asked me to sing at Guantanamo instead of all that waterboarding stuff but I wasn’t willing to relocate. \*By “actually” I mean that never happened. It probably should have, though! ---

Don’t worry, I’m sure the producers would be happy to squeeze in a solo for Ms. Adele as **pbbth** and convince even people who knew you otherwise.😉 ---

If I wouldn’t be allowed to play myself I’d want Sigourney Weaver to do it. She’s a little older than me, but that’s ok, I think she can handle it, lol. ---

**Zeldar** has been mistaken for historian Shelby Foote. Would that we could bring that Southern gentleman back to play the role! We would have to make him look a little younger by about twenty years. ---

I will be played by Michael Shanks, in full SG-1 geek mode. Unfortunately, my scenes will be directed by Ingmar Bergman.
