The one we love

Our next #DallasChat on Twitter will be held Monday, November 18, from 9 to 10 p.m. Eastern time. Since the first anniversary of Larry Hagman’s death is later this week, we’ll honor him with a special J.R.-themed discussion. The title: “The Master.”

Here’s how #DallasChat works: I tweet a question roughly every five minutes for one hour. Each question is numbered and includes the hashtag #DallasChat, so your responses should do the same.

A sample exchange:

Q1. What was Larry Hagman’s all-time funniest line as J.R. Ewing? #DallasChat

A1. When he told Lucy she should get her plastic surgeon husband to design her a new face … without a mouth! #DallasChat

Two pointers:

• During the discussion, enter #DallasChat in Twitter’s search field. This will help you watch the search results so you can follow the conversation. Click “All” to see all the related tweets.

• Include the hashtag #DallasChat in each tweet you send so others can see your contributions to the conversation. Feel free to start side conversations of your own, but be sure to include #DallasChat in those tweets too.

This will be another memorable chat. I hope you can participate!

Simply the best

Our next #DallasChat on Twitter will be Monday, November 11, from 4 to 5 p.m. Eastern time. I’m holding this week’s discussion a little earlier than usual so readers from other time zones can participate. I’ll also be asking some of my favorite questions from previous chats, so our theme will be “The Best of #DallasChat.”

Here’s how #DallasChat works: I tweet a question roughly every five minutes for one hour. Each question is numbered and includes the hashtag #DallasChat, so your responses should do the same. A sample exchange:

Q1. Which “Dallas” character could use a dunking in the Southfork swimming pool? #DallasChat

A1. Judith Ryland, of course. If she floats, we’ll know if she’s really a witch. #DallasChat

We miss you!

Dallas Decoder’s next #DallasChat on Twitter will be held Monday, September 16, from 9 to 10 p.m. Eastern. In honor of Larry Hagman’s birthday (he was born September 21, 1931), our theme will be “Lovin’ Larry” and will focus on Hagman, his career and the character he immortalized, J.R. Ewing.

Here’s how it’ll work: I’ll tweet a question every five minutes or so. Each question will be numbered and include the hashtag #DallasChat, so your responses should do the same. A sample exchange:

Q1. Besides J.R. Ewing, what’s your favorite Larry Hagman role? #DallasChat

A1. I loved Mr. Hagman’s short-lived 1990s series “Orleans.” He was really good as Judge Charbonnet. #DallasChat

Here are two pointers:

A reminder: Twitter limits the number of tweets that users can send during a given hour, so I’m unable to respond to everyone’s responses, but I’ll favorite them as they roll in. Please know how much I appreciate everyone’s contributions to #DallasChat.

I hope this will be another special #DallasChat discussion. Please join us!
