Dallas, J.R. Ewing, Kristin Shepard, Larry Hagman, Mary Crosby

Fools for lust

Dallas Decoder’s next #DallasChat on Twitter will be Monday, March 7, from 8 to 9 p.m. Eastern time.

The theme, “Two-timin’ II,” is a sequel to a similar discussion from last year.

If you’re new to #DallasChat — or if you need a refresher — here’s how it works: During each hour-long discussion, I tweet 10 questions from my Twitter handle, @DallasDecoder. Fans respond to the questions and comment on each other’s answers, making each chat a fun, freewheeling group conversation.

Here’s a sample exchange:

Q1. Did J.R. have feelings for Kristin? #DallasChat

A1. Does unapologetic lust count as a feeling? If so, then yes, J.R.’s feelings for Kristin were very strong. #DallasChat

Here are three more tips:

• Each #DallasChat question is numbered (Q1, Q2, etc.), so your responses should include the corresponding number (A1, A2, etc.).

• Include the hashtag #DallasChat in your tweets.

• 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.

I hope you can participate. See you there!
