...And you are?

Daithi, here, pronounced Dah-hee. I’m OK with the cheap gags and one liners, but when I have something earth-shattering to say…

I find that someone has already said it about 5 posts earlier, and better than I could.

Hey, Xavier, are those Camel Wides?

Hi. I’m a guy. So stop hitting on me.

Unless, of course, you are intentionally hitting on me. And you’re hot. And you’re female. (Sorry guys, not that there’s anything wrong with that…)

Same here. I know every last one of ya except Kaotic Newtral. Sorry, Kaotic!

I don’t contribute a whole lot but I like to talk (and listen) to you guys. :slight_smile:

Hi, I’m Flander.

Mostly a lurker though I do take the occasion stab at humor. I think I’ve even answered a few questions.

I’m dating another doper named OhFace. We knew each other before, but I converted her to the Dark Side of the SDMB. We even showed up at an Georgia dopefest and had a good time.

Hello to all and nice to meet you.

To the OP: yes.

I find it incredibly ironic that most of the posters to this thread are very well-known posters.

Chalk me up as one who’s noticed that most of the posters to this thread are people who are, for the most part, more than passingly familiar to me.

Oh, and I usually only post to say “me, too.” :slight_smile:

Hi, I’m Tripler.

I was once a child star on a major television sitcom. Now, I’m mostly well known for posting little cute sign-offs after my ‘signature’ on each post. You may have remembered me from such great endeavors as PorkDope '02 where I damn near burned the place down, or the attempted coup in Rhode Island back in '78.

Rarely do I have anything huge to contribute, but lately, I have been finding some complex questions to ask lately.

Tripler
See? Here’s one of them cute sign-offs I told ya about.

No one actually knows me, do they? Except for the MMP posters.

I usually only post in MPSIMS and IMHO. I lurk in Great Debates, especially threads about Christianity.

That’s about it.

Indeed. See here:

for further details.

I know what you mean. I’ve been going through all these posts going “I know you, and you, and you, and you…”

Including you, NE Texan. :slight_smile:

Hi. I’m Scribble.

Unless you read my threads about going to Brazil, going to Ecuador, or my brief and disastrous period of dating this one guy who asked me for coffee, you probably have no idea who I am.

I’ve met a couple of Dopers. I had dinner with Edward the Head once, a couple of years ago. He struck me as a nice guy–and he had a motorcycle, to boot! More recently, I had a little correspondence with Iris, his fiancee, who has been to Ecuador and who has very graciously given me some really useful advice.

I’ve also exchanged a few e-mails with Shirley Ujest. I got a tip from Enginerd on finding recordings of spoken Quichua.

lno–how ya been, man? Long time, no e-mail.

For a while, MaxTheVool and I were dating.

OhFace–how are your classes this term? Still taking biology credits?

Speaking of, do you have any photographs of that? I was looking for some of the firebreathing shots, but I could only find a few of me and thinksnow gouting flame.

Yeah. They might be a little stale, though. I quit about 22 months ago.

I’m Cemetery Savior. I don’t think I’ve met any Dopers, but you’d think it would be easy, living near the Great Cecil and all…

I’ve been lurking for about 3-4 years (pretty near the beginning of the board), and reading Cecil’s column for about 10 or so (in the Reader).

I’m usually in the Pit (since it makes good reading), where I’ll add comments that have little sting, and very little real ire.

Hi, I’m Anastasaeon.

You might know me from such threads as Catchy Songs, Sexual Heali…YOW!, and the newest blockbuster, The Clothes That Made the Woman (bring your family! Two thumbs up! Inspirational! A Tear Jerker!)

However, in the feature thread Wow! A kind warning to Olestra-phobes!, which starred AskNott as the main character, my supporting character uttered an oft-quoted line for the first time. The line is, by far, more famous than the utterer.

Who is Anastasaeon? A heavenly nobody. But I can bake a mean cheesecake.

I’m Cyros. I’m from Atlantic Canada, I’m pregnant, unemployed. I can’t think of anything remotely interesting to share, and my posts probably reflect that. I’ve never met another doper, but if I had the opportunity, I certainly would.

I’m from New Brunswick, hi there! :slight_smile:

Crap! and here I thought I was safely under the radar…

Actually, I think I do! Let me dig around the ‘War Room’ a little, and I’ll get back to ya. . .

Tripler
I think I saved most of the ones I had. . .

Thanks for starting this thread, TheOnlySaneOne, (can I call you One?). I’ve sort of been having the feeling you describe since I joined the dope.

::stands up, clears throat, nervously adjusts tie/shirt collar::

Hello. I’m trupa. I am a Doper who happens not to have a cool or witty bone in his body, although I try to make up for it by being helpful, earnest, and sincere. At parties I am usually lurking in the background until someone needs a pen, a knife, directions, map or compass, or first aid, unless I’m questionning someone who said or does something I find interesting. In movies, I would be the trusty sidekick / straight man to the glamorous or funny hero. Despite this, I was amazed at how at home I felt at the only Dopefest I ever attended. Maybe it’s because everyone was so interesting.

I try to post when I think I can help, or contribute a bit of knowlege on a topic I know a little about, but don’t do a lot of “social / small-talk” posting, eventhough I enjoy reading it. (probably due to above-said lack of wit / clever banter) I am married to Serious Lark, my rock and partner in crime (she’s got the brains, I supply the brawn) and proud Papa of trusquirt, our soon-to-be-three son.

I addition to the famous dopers above, I have always enjoyed reading posts by featherlou, IrishGirl (who put me onto a lovely melody to play on my recorder), Airman Doors, Ivy Lass, (who thanked me for one of my very first posts suggesting a cookbook, and made me feel appreciated), Loach, **kytheria **, (who gave me a virtual smooch once) Polycarp, and many others whom I can 't recall right now.

There are many smart, funny, knowledgeable, and even wise people here. It is often humbling.
