Just my luck…I only run across these threads AFTER the event has occurred. If not for the Falcon’s game (if you could call it a game), I would have been interested in meeting some local Dopers… ---

We had a great time! And for those who didn’t show: we drank your drinks, we ate your pie, we had your fun - so next time show up and eat your own damn pie (or chocolate mousee-filled chocolate teacup covered with strawberries and whipped cream and raspberry sauce) because I think I’m still full. And for best legs at the party - we have a winner for each gender: **OpalCat** looked just plain gorgeous, and **UncleBill** looked pretty damn cute in that skirt, and he knew it, too. ---

He looks fabulous! I’ve always wanted to get **Dear Robert** into a kilt, cuz he’s got the best-looking legs of any man I know. (Sorry, **Uncle Bill** , I gotta call 'em like I see 'em. Course I might be biased.) ---

Sorry I missed it as well. I was afraid I was being incredibly optimisitic when I said we’d be done with our MLK service project in time to join y’all. We worked on the house from 9:00 AM to 6:00 pm, and by the time I got home, got cleaned up and changed, it was nearly 7:00 - and frankly, I was beat! Plus, I knew I had to be back at the project the next morning at 8:00, didn’t need to be hungover. Actually we worked on the house until 6:30 Sunday as well, then two other houses on Monday. But we pressure washed and painted the first house, plus built a new crawspace door, shored up a rotten floor joist, and replaced the screens on the front porch. We built new back stairs for the second house, and cleared a huge pile of trash from the back yard of the third house. I have to come to work today to rest up! ---

Well, I wasn’t sure I’d be welcome, since this was all planned while I was a guest member and all… …but if there is ever another Georgia Doper gathering, please let me know! Thanks! Poeticyde ---

> [@poeticyde](#): > > Well, I wasn’t sure I’d be welcome, since this was all planned while I was a guest member and all… Nonsense! Guests, lurkers, friends-of-friends, and significant or insignificant others are always welcome! As I recall, there wasn’t a hell of a lot of “Board Talk” anyway. We are ANYTHING but exclusive around here! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-corresponding-welcome-opalcat-to-atlanta-party/278818.md?page=3)
