People who plan social events whilst in the presence of other people who cannot attend those social events are big, ugly poopy-brains! So there!! ---

**garius** , I’m having a heck of a time finding a proper illustration of a Ho Ho. But if you look [at this](http://www.twinkieshop.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=Twinkie+Catalog&product%5Fid=TPS4) - the Ho Ho is the chocolate roll with the white creme - and the whole thing is covered in chocolate. Some snack cake makers call it a Swiss roll. For some reason, I can’t get into the Hostess site this morning. ---

I am multi-tallented. And don’t worry, if anything comes of these plans, you’re invited **Kalley**. If you _choose_ not to attend, what can _we_ do about it? (But this far into the Holiday Season? Things could be tricky… Isn’t there traditionally a two-month leadtime for Fests?) -Rue. (not mentioning BowlingDope-a-Rama) ---

So, have I been auctioned off? Can I expect **Homebrew** tied up and at my front door by the weekend? Who’s wearing red leather underwear? I saw a black leather thong for men at an adult store once. It looked uncomfortable, so I didn’t by it. Besides I like boxers. Today I get to talk to my staff (that’s just for **Rue** since the fact that I have a staff seems to amuse him somewhat) today about our Internet Technology plan. The meeting is at ten o’clock. I imagine they’ll be lining up outside the meeting room any time now so that they can get good seats. They, of course, live to hear me do this stuff. :rolleyes: That’s probably what most of em are doing thinking that they have to sit through an hour or so of this today. :rolleyes: But, Tech Guy and I have worked hard on this IT plan for two months, so, by God!, they’re gonna learn it and love it. -swampbear (with 19 collated, hole punched and ready to put into P&P manuals, eight page IT plans stacked on his desk) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by swampbear \* > **I saw a black leather thong for men at an adult store once.

I don’t have a particular crush, so I’ll just say that finding a random, single, chosen-for-his-suitabilty-for-me Doper male on my doorstep would not be unwelcome. ---

Oy, two months from now? Let me pencil it in. The 24th of January looks free :dubious: Isn’t **Shibb** the only one that’s actually living in Cincinnati? I really am serious about this, but I’m hesitant about flinging my weight around. I’d rather have someone who knows what is going on actually figure out a date and time. Anyone? Anyone? Heh. The OED says debauchery means “Excessive indulgence in sensual pleasures; immorality, licentiousness.” If you have a problem with this I suppose you can substitute disloyalty. _checks_ nope no leather undies ---

hmmmm, maybe I should auction off my brother’s phone number. He’s 47, a CPA, acting CEO, home owner, divorced, no kids or alimony, and he drives a couple of nice cars. Oh, and he’s a golf fanatic. I think he’s flying to Scotland in the spring to play golf. He’s such a prize, I bet I could finance my new house as part of the deal… 😃 Any takers?? ---

**Elysian** , I live in Blue Ash, which is a near in suburb here. **Rue** lives in Liberty Township, of which his part used to be Jericho (which I told him is a much cooler name), and right next door to what used to be Bethany. But it’s now all just Liberty Township. Smack dab between the Hustler Hollywood store (I bet they have leather undies) and Westchester, but outside of I-275. (Trivia: **Rue** has farms of emus, cows, horses and jacobs sheep right up from his house) ---

Is he willing to re-locate? Not that I’m eager or anything . . . I hope he doesn’t drive more than one car at a time, though, I’m not sure I would be comfortable with that. ---

For you **Kalley** , I’d relocate. Or at least fly out for a long weekend. Whatever you need. Oh… wait… you meant the brother guy… well now… this _is_ embarrassing… Oh that **Shibb** , trying to impress everyone with his extensive knowlege of sheep! Jacob’s sheep! He probably just made that up! Ha ha! Let’s all mock **Shibb** and ignore the first part of my post… ---

**Kallessa** - nah, he’s a hard-core Baltimoron. He’s had several chances over the years to move up and out, but he never took them. Come to think of it, none of my sibs have ever left the Baltimore area. I’m the only adventurous one! Buncha wusses. Incidentally, it was just a joke about bro’s phone number. I like and admire all the Dopers too much to inflict him on anyone. Face it, my folks should have quit after birthing me - it only got worse with the 4 who followed… ---

**sperfur** if it’ll help any, if you can just deliver **Homebrew** all tied up to my door, I’ll take care of the gettin’ him steamy part. 😃 **Kallessa** it seems to me you got male dopers all hot to trot over ya. I’m the one who needs the help. However, if I stumble across any eligible straight men, I’ll rope em and send em on over your way, okay? BTW, I didn’t have to beat anyone with my staff. It’s real easy when everbody is just sitting there with their eyes all glazed over and doing this: :rolleyes: Plus afterwards all the sushi lovers among us went out and ate sushi. mmmmmmmm… sushi! ---

Little Debbie makes Swiss Rolls to Hostess’ Ho-hos. I, personally, prefer Swiss Rolls. But Ho-hos are better than King Dongs. (Or “King Dons” or “Ding Dongs” whatever you call them. I call them “King Dongs” which is why I went with that as my first choice.)
