I’m surprised **Rue** hasn’t been mentioned yet- after all, he does our oh-so-amazing MMPs. Plus, he’s _so_ funny! ---

Hrm. Rue De Day Cisco FinnAgain Anaamika Aesiron Iampunha In any order. I think of more than this, but these are _probably_ at the top. **Rue** ’s stories (and what are those kid’s names? Soupo and Catcha? Beautiful!), **Finn** ’s intelligent posts, **Anaamika** and **Aesiron** have both always been so friendly to me that they stick in my mind, and **Cisco** , probably because of his reaction to my alter ego drawings 😃 And I _had_ to add **pun** as the sixth, because I don’t think anyone enjoyed my embarrassing malapropism concerning penes and how they ensue more than he… that, and of course, the art of running nekkid is a fine thing. Then there’s a handful more who are from or live around Seattle who I keep in mind. ---

I too am terrible with names, I couldn’t remember my own if I didn’t have it for some twenty odd years. Even with this fact, Wally came straight to mind… Those of you who came to the board post Wally truly missed one of the shining lights of the board during its (relatively) early years. :wally ---

**Andy** , babe, good to know you’re still lurking and doing vanity searches. How’s the Big Apple, man? I just know it from _Sex and the City_ and the flick where the world freezes over. Can’t recall the title just now. You’re the biggest freaking humblest attention whore I’ve ever met. Just 100 posts in two years some. Man, you’re way cool. **Shut the fuck up Donny** is real wicked too. I read all his posts - both of them - and felt really validated as a result. Thanks, dude. Appreciated. ---

PS **Andy** , what you doing up so early? I thought you musicians liked to chill. You not deceivin’ us with your photos and all. You don’t come up with something pretty darn quick, and I’m telling **Dex**. ---

I would go with most of the suggestions so far put forward. But **AndyPolley**? I need more information. **Calm Kiwi** is a name I always notice. ---

I won’t say I’ve never done a vanity search, but that’s not what happened this time. I was just killing time in IMHO. Imagine my surprise when I came up _first_ on my favorite poster’s list of famous dopers! Wow! The truth about my rock & roll lifestyle is that I’m also gainfully employed in a Monday-Friday 9-5 type of way. If you want to scan my 100+ posts and look for obvious contradictions…well, I’d be flattered. Then I’d start a pit rant about how a poster I’ve looked up to & enjoyed for years doesn’t believe how much I rock, or thinks I live some kind of strange vanity-search-driven-double life, or even that I’m not a New Yorker. For the record…I’m hungover. Because Sunday nights are for boozin’. ---
