[Manhattan]

Welcome Manhattan.
Great introduction on the second attempt.
Raises many questions.
Well done for playing Rugby over there.

What's a doodah cipher ?

Would you eat a dog?

No...? Oh! Dirty water dog. New York phrase for push-cart hot dog because they use rainwater or hose water and/or probably leftover restaurant lard to boil the hot dogs. They are absolutely delicious*.

*Except in neighborhoods in and around the west-side highway. I don't know why this is, but I guess the push cart confederacies here just suck (i.e. if you are a tourist visiting the Intrepid, don't buy a hotdog there.)

Why are you an outlaw in Peru?

I went on a trip to Peru while in high school one summer to help build a school in a modest little village with a bunch of other American students. Unfortunately, I accidentally killed an alpaca when I didn't put the brakes on this large wooden cart and it rolled down the hill and crashed into the animal. It was an old animal anyway. They never forgave me.

What's a doodah cipher?

The pig pen cipher. It is a very simple cipher that I a few friends and I got really good at in middle school (before texting was so easy) so we could pass notes to each other and nobody would be able to read it or really notice it. It is extremely easy to be "fluent" in and read and write without referencing the cipher. Google it. It is also called Masonic cipher.
