Here’s the basic idea. I was thinking the other day about how many increadibly wonderful people are on the SDMB. Then I was thinking one day I might get to a DopeFest and actually meet a few. Then I thought, out of all the threads that I’m likely to post in and the number of members joining every day, there’s a great possibility that a lot of you I’ll never even share a thread with, let alone get a chance to know even semi-personally. And that’s just a damned shame.
So here’s your chance fellow Dopers. This thread is here for no other reason than to give a member you’ve never had any contact with, but know who is still around, a random compliment about something you’re not even sure is accurate.
But hey, it’s the thought that counts!
I’ll start.
Coldfire, I think the color scheme in your kitchen is a pillar of brilliance.
Well, yes. I’ll admit it’s quite risqué, what with the daring white and black contrasts, combined with the anthracite gray counter and the eggshell blinds, but goll durnit, it was worth the $50K I paid the decorator for the design.
Absolutely wonderful!! I eat one raw egg a day, wash only twice a week, never use conditioner and only wallow in stagnant water if absolutely neccesary, my little songbird!
Eats_Crayons, your combination of raw sensuality and world-class rug-hooking skills makes you one of the most interesting people I’ve never met. Thanks for being you. (Oh, and I like the rims on your car…very shiny.)
Eve, you are well known as the delightful mix of Dorothy Parker and Miss Manners, the penultimate (Cecil is of course the ultimate) arbiter of all things in the areas of popular culture, manners, and fashion. But do these folks know that you have brilliantly translated Plato from the original Greek to contemporary Cornish (being one of the few remaining speakers of that dying language)? Or that you can unerringly sink a basket from 50 yards?
And, of course, your rendition of Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy on the trombone makes strong men weep.
