The problem with lists like this is I always leave out somebody who really, really should be included. I think I’d like to get to know Oakminster – we’d probably become very good friends who piss each other off constantly. I have tremendous respect for Der Trihs; would like to get to know what he’s really like. I think it would be fun to sit with Lissa, nurse a beer for several hours and just listen to her talk. She’s one insightful, funny lady. ---

Oh, crap! And FairyChatMom! :smack: Who’s real name I actually know because we’ve exchanged e-mails. Actually, it’s FCDad I REALLY wanna’ hang out with. The dude has 600 board feet of walnut, and anybody who has ever drooled over a Garrett Wade catalog knows what I’m talkin’ about! But FCM is lots of fun. I want to spend a lazy afternoon on the FairChats’ new boat, when they get one, which they will, because once you’ve owned a boat, you can’t live without it. ---

Ooo! I only really started noticing him lately, but I’d love to sit and have a long chat with **Skald the Rhymer**. I only noticed him because of all his CS threads, but he seems like a really fun guy to sit and argue with/debate about merits of various books and movies. ---

I’ve always thought \*\*Anaamika \*\* would be an interesting conversation partner for me; we have enough interests in common that we’d have things to talk about, but disagree about enough things so that things would be interesting. ---

Hee hee! And since your location is “right behind me” I suppose it would be easy. (Seriously, where do you hang your hat, anyway?) ---

There’re a couple of non-psycho gun nuts around here that I’d like to get to know, but location is usually an issue. Also a few non-fluffy-bunny pagans seem pretty cool. The problem main problem is that I’m not an interesting person. Frankly, I bore myself and I don’t really want to go through all the trouble of boring someone else as well. Well, maybe I’m not quite that bad… ---

**Bobo** , is your signature a Firefly quote? It sounds very Jayne-like. ---

**Bob** , I was just thinking that. I like the gun people and you’re one of them who stands out, but what are we going to do? Email and chat about… guns? A conversation works better with more than two of us, which leads to the boards rather than email. I think I’d get along real well with **catsix** , **Tripler** , and \*\*Crafter Man \*\* in person for the gun thing too (yeah, and lots of other people, and for lots of other reasons) but it’s so awkward to just start a random conversation with a stranger. (Well, not you **Tripler** , you’re more of a stranger conversation with someone random, and that’s oddly easy!)
