I think my kind of folks here include **elucidator** , **Zoe** , **twickster** and **Rubystreak**. Oh yeah, and **Cinnamon Girl**.  
[/QUOTE]

I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve ever been mentioned in one of these threads. I’m so blushing right now. And, lucky me, I have met **twickster** IRL and she is definitely cool.

So is that proof of my coolness or my lack thereof?

(BTW, both **Rubystreak** and **BiblioCat** are pretty damn cool their own selves.)

Hi, **Carlyjay** and thanks. **Skald the Rhymer** , is correct you are a cutie. (Disclaimer, I am not flirting, simply stating an easily perceivable fact)

Jim

- **Qadgop the Mercotan** : looks correct, maybe I can spell it.  
[/QUOTE]

Why would you deliberately NOT flirt with **Carlyjay**? That’s like deliberately not flirting with **Anaamika** …inexplicable.

[spock mode]I am very married and much too old. I just recalled her picture from the picture thread and was stating an obvious fact. [/sm]  
I don’t think I’ve seen **Anaamika** picture.

Here’s one we all need to meet: **Deep Fried**. I can’t even begin to make guesses as to what sort of person would conjure up all those umlauts and whatnots to create a user name.

There are lots of people I’d like to meet. I’d hate to leave anyone out. Just _lots_. You know who you are!

I’d very much like to meet **Eve.** In addition to the fact that I thinks she’s hilarious, my dad loves her vicariously through me (another old movie buff). I’d probably have to bring a tape recorder.

I want you to know that I am stealing that word and will use it in my next story.

Um, as soon as I think of one to write.

And as soon as I finish writing this used car copy.

Stupid boring freelance work.

Thanks! I would have rather kept my Charter designation, but the powers that be on the SDMB said they had no control over that (i personally think they are lying, but what ya gonna do?).

So as my dear old mum used to say "When you get lemons, make lemonade, sell it for a .25 cents a glass, then go out and buy what you want and quit freakin bugging me you little… " and she would go on at length from there…

Everyone who thinks they’re not included ever or often is automatically covered by my umbrella - I’d like to meet you all. I like everyone, until they jab me with a sharp object. Then I won’t like you much anymore. But until then!

Be prepared: the word comes from Will Ferrell’s impersonation of James Lipton.

I can’t take credit, much as I’d like to.

Oh, that’s all right. Retroactively erasing Will Ferrell and all evidence of his existence is on my honey-do list anyway; I’ll just have to remember to insert a subconscious memory of the word in your mind so that you’ll use it in this thread in the altered timeline so I can steal it from you.

Or I 'spose I could just scribble on my palm before I go back in time. That’d probably be easier.

**Priceguy** because he’s a hottie!  
**Scylla** because he’s just generally awesome.  
**Trigonal Planar** because, for whatever reason, I always notice his posts.

And also **Skald the Rhymer** because he seems to be really popular. I haven’t been on the boards much lately and don’t recognise his name but he’s probably really awesome.

I would loooove to meet **Zoe**!

I mean I would really, really, _really_ like to meet **Zoe**!

(I’d also like to meet **EddyTeddyFreddy** , but there’s that ‘cluestick’ she’s always carrying around…) 😉
