Just regained consciousness after passing out in your frozen garret?

I was concerned about the propriety of doing so at the time, but then I figured, “Hey, the OP said the first five,” and that included you so I went with it. But I felt slightly skeevy nonetheless, and that feeling was what led me to post the question that exposed my dreadful lack of acuity in regard to your most amusing and self-deprecatory post. My most humble apologies, my good man. (Hic!) :: stumbles off muttering of port wine and paint smears :: ---

I could make 4 or 5 different top-5 lists depending on the subject. But going top-5 famous (not favorite or adversarial) Dopers: **Scylla** (Imagine if Chuck E. Cheese were piloting the blimp?) **Reeder** (Love him or hate him, you know him) **Bricker** (See Reeder) **Diogenes** (Good source for general history and some religious stuff.) **Shirley Ujest** (Secret Santa coordinator. 'Nuff said) ---

In no order of preference Diogenes the Cynic Liberal WeRsauron Grey QED Just because on the threads I tend to read these are the most frequent posters (in my mind, I’ve not actually counted or anything) ---

I suppose a lot of it depends on what forums you go to most often. These names came to me first. Scylla Eve Polycarp Liberal Reeder HM – Opal (people are still using the Hi Opal thing, and most of the time “incorrectly.”) december Esprix lieu spoofe and spooge – They are different people. Aren’t they? and for me, the great famous gay posters (in addition to Esprix) Shampiro Otto Gobear matt\_mcl Jay-Jay ---

Let’s see… Eve OpalCat Lobsang Diogenes the Cynic SPOOFE. Others to consider: Qadgop the Mercotan (however the hell you spell that), Bosda, Polycarp, Rude, lieu. Dishonorable mention: Shut the fuck up Donny (one of the first things I read on the site, I think) and the Grapist. ---

Haven’t been here very long… lets see… Shirley UJest - for her frightfully boring and mundane posts… 😛 Kythereia - our very own flirt goddess Guinastasia - because I started noticing that no matter which thread I open, she’s already posted there AwSnappity - because she owes me $500 😃 QED - just because I need a guy on my list. ---

WallyM7- Because even I know about him and I wasn’t on the board when he was around. Roland Deschain- I don’t remember ever intercating with him myself but I know that he was a hot topic in and out of the pit. Diogenes The Cynic- I don’t know it’s the name FlamingBanannas- Youngest Female Doper I have 4 but maybe one of these names belongs on the list Lobsang Kel Varnsen Gobear Polycarp there are so many High Profile Dopers it’s hard to really say who is the most “famous” of all time. If I had of made this naming High Profile Dopers then the list would be a page long at least. ---

Lemme see, off the top of my head, I can think of; Chronos, Quadop the Mercotan (doctor of some sort?), Spoofe, Johnny LA (who owns an MGB 😉 ) Mangetout (although I had to scroll back down to properly recall his name) ---
