They are nice guys, but there is no way I’m spooning with either of them. 😉

How could anyone not love **JoeyHemlock** and **DynoSaur**??

**JoeyHemlock** wins uberpoints with me for composing my birthday ode. Woo!!

**DynoSaur** gets the honor of being the first Doperdude that I un-flaked enough for to allow him to call me. Double woo!!

You guys rawk. 🙂  
[sub]I also lament the fact that I have no spooning or other snuggling privileges with either. \<sigh\>[/sub]

Well, I have no desire to spoon with either one of them (dropping my pants in front of them is no problem, though ;)), but I want to say that I’d only talking in passing with **Joey** prior to this past weekend. But at the latest ChiDope, he struck me as being a very genuine, very cool person. I’m proud to call him a friend. **Dyno** , on the other hand, is a complete waste of skin:). Actually, **Dyno** ’s a great guy. Too bad his car sucks :).

Been in chat with 'em both.  
Never met 'em.  
Never talked voice.

But yeah, okay, they’re cool guys.

(That’s all you’re getting out of me.)

Yikes. I’m gonna get all weepy and shit. OK, not really. But…yeah. Wow. I’m a little…talk amongst yourselves. I’ll give you a topic: Duran Duran is neither Duran nor Duran. Discuss.  
Ok, I’m better now.

So, in no particular order (ok, ok, it’s ass backwards, you got me), I respond. Hopefully in an interesting and witty manner, but let’s not be greedy, eh?

**Superdude** - You’re right, of course. I _am_ a complete waste of skin. No making fun of Bessie, though.

**Jadis** - You have all the spooning and snuggling privileges you want. You just have to come here to collect. 😉

**dz** - You, on the other hand, have no spooning or snuggling privileges. Just sit in the corner quietly and look disapproving 😉

**sapphy** - You rock. The Jager is chilled and waiting. See you in Ohio, finally.

**Joey** - The big man hisownself. The kindest, most caring guy anyone could ever hope to run across. You, indeed, rock.

**Rasa** - You damned well _better_ miss me, babe. I’m gonna have to head east to party with you and Joey sometime.

**Miss Creant** - I vehemently deny any association with the small plastic imitation dinos on the table. You rock quite a bit yourself, y’know.

**Silvy** - Thanks for being so excited in your expression of love. I love you, too.

**Gingy** - Sweet. I’m all for loving you up.

**Odie** - So, you’re saying you like me better because I’m not as good as Joey at wooing ladies? Thanks…I think…

**tiggy** - You’d _better_ believe it 😉 Thanks for acting as my guide on the L. Freaking subways. 🙂

**porc** - Not _normally_ at the same time? When was this abnormal occurance? 😉

**hardy** - Of course I spoon like a champ. Haven’t you seen my trophy?

**andy** - I will make it east someday, oh yes, I will. And there will be much celebrating. The adoration is a 2-way street, doll.

**boli** - Always good to see you, my dear. And thank you for not picking any Go-Gos “music” at Lou Lou’s. And that organ was freaking _heavy_ 😉

**monster** - I look forward to this hugging and kissing and squeezing. Just realize you’re going to get it right back, you poor dear 😉

**thinksnow** - You’re not so bad yourself. Speaking of Stroh, should I be picking some up for OhDope?

**VileOrb** - Thanks for warning me about the heaps of praise. I can clear some closet space out for them. I’d think “That was me almost falling down the stairs” could be used as an interesting chorus line, if nothing else…but, as for payment, I second what Joey said.

**lno** - Surely you are a scholar and a gentleman. At least when you’re not crawling around in the mud shooting at people.

**Nymysys** - What can I say? You know I’ll do anything I can for you. And if you ever care to move from hugs to snuggles, just let me know 😉 As for the good cheer, that’s not factory-standard. That’s a terribly expensive option, kinda like rustproofing. Love you too, babe.

I feel truly fortunate to know all of you.

Now, I’m off to go figure out what this odd warm, fuzzy feeling is.

Hey, any car that can’t stand up to a little sprinkle like the ones that befall Chicago when I descend on it deserves to be made fun of. After all, _I am the Rain King_. 🙂

I’d like to take this opportunity to share some poetry I wrote for one of my favorite dopers, **Joey Hemlock**.

_Joey Baloney  
Likes to ride the pony  
His head is made of candy  
And his feet are macaroni_

I don’t want to make **Dyno** jealous, so here is a poem I wrote especially for him.

_Dyno’s not a wino  
He is really fine-o  
One day I’ll write him a story  
About my adventures at the Gyno_

Ok, so those ‘poems’ really suck, and I do too. Sorry.  
I love you both. 🙂  
See you tomorrow, Joey!

Rose

I, Scotti, officially state that both **Dyno** and **Joey** are on my short list of favorite people.

Especially Paul.

And this isn’t GD, so I don’t have to have cites. They just both have a special place in my heart. (Especially Paul.)

🙂

Ah, Joey, don’t get all weird on me…aside from everything ELSE I love about Paul, he appreciates my cooking. All you ever appreciate is the opportunity to lick me in chat. Now, I ask you. What is supposed to be the way to a man’s heart? Hmmmmmm…You mean to say that the original ScottiMom was LYING to me? 😕

Kidding aside, both of them are wonderful, caring people who brighten my life just by BEING in my life.

You entirely DO rock, BOTH of you!

Much Love  
(to the both of you)

Cheri

Chipping in to say that **DynoSaur** has saved my bacon more than once by being a brilliant and creative source of diabolical plot devices for my D&D game.

Geeky, but great guy.
