A dinner party that’s fun and full of smart, witty people – but then the waitress arrives and a few of them hit on her awkwardly, some make nasty remarks about her looks and everyone fights over the tip.
Yes! Once again I find that WhyNot has save me from having to type out a long and confused explanation about how I feel. She did a much better job than I could have. The Dope is a Corner Tavern to me were the regulars are great and odd and interesting people are always dropping by and now we even have a very nice lounge for games to make it better.
The Straight Dope is like the Crystal Skull, tucked inside the Lost Ark, along with the Grail, & the whole thing hidden inside…the Death Star.*
With Pie.
Actually one-third of them pray while the another third argues about the validity of prayer, the purpose of prayer, the possible evil of prayer, the possible non-existance of the yak, the possible non-existance of the mountain and whether or not the yak was better when they were further down the mountain. The final third are either swapping social advice, swapping puns, or yelling at the falling members to bring pie.
The yak is followed by invisible beings called lurkers. They are rumored to be pink.
The Straight Dope is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.

Dope is a haiku,
Beautiful like a spring breeze,
But inherently unpredictable, following no rules or structure, with plenty of unexpected twists thrown in.
I can’t help but notice that you seem to really really like yaks. This is easily the fifth time I’ve read something about yaks and looked up to see your username there (one other memorable time involving a post about the imdb and certain anatomical details:eek:).
er…thats all I got to say
