Perhaps **Esprix** will post here; he has links to how one plays if one has “the wrong equipment on the playing field.” 😉

Of course! just not at the same time…it wouldn’t be kosher 🙂  
OOH! Then perhaps you could ‘splain me’ WHY Queen is sill SO popular over here? It is utterly mystifying.

(sound of running feet)

Am I in time?  
I was going to pick Lsura! (And cjhoworth, but she’s already been nabbed)

I enjoy libraries and librarians.  
I like people who like me - and I have a genuine British accent.

Now when is the next Dopefest…

hmmm…

I seem to have forgotten something in the throes of my deep depression.

I would normally ask a Mod to correct it, but I like the way it looks there, so pathetic…

Whoa! I didn’t even know people on here knew who the heck I was. I was purposely avoiding this thread because I just knew I wasn’t going to be on it. I finally succumbed to high school popularity contest out of morbid curiosity and look what I found. 🙂

Hey, Freddie sure knew how to sell the product, chattywine (stay out of this Bippy!).

Throw in some raw nerve, fashion sense, a modicum of songwriting ability and a nihilistic age and you’ve got Queen all huge.

They sell fantasy (big house, big car, loads of dough and approval) better than any band I’ve ever seen.

And I saw them in '82!

I’d marry **todd33rpm** in a heartbeat. Well, someday I would, anyway.  
That man just lights me _up_.

And **Washte** and **Munch** and **Redboss** could be our neighbors. Can we have barbeques?

Oh, and **ninetywt**. I want her to be my _other_ neighbor.

Hell, I’d like a neighborhood fulla Dopers…now THAT would be fun!

Likewise… **bodypoet** ’s like Mary Tyler Moore, in the theme song. When she smiles, I simply get breathless and start counting blessings.

If I say anymore, we’d have to officially categorize this as a proposal…because that woman can make universes shift. She is as good as it gets, period…they don’t make 'em like her anymore.

I call **Davebear**. He’s mine, all mine, I tells ya! Mine forevah!

Must. Resist. Temptation.
