[QUOTE=Skald the Rhymer] **Bobo** , is your signature a Firefly quote? It sounds very Jayne-like. [/QUOTE] It’s from the film, _Serenity_, based on _Firefly_. And yep, it’s Jayne. ---

[QUOTE=Cowgirl Jules] **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. [/QUOTE] Yup. Tried it once and decided that I didn’t really have anything interesting to say. I should probably apologize to him. [QUOTE=Cowgirl Jules] 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!) [/QUOTE] When I win Powerball, I’m flying the OP over here and we’ll all take him shooting. Poor Aussie! And Stim.. Sit.. Sim… **Silenus**! I always forget **Silenus** until he pops up in another gun thread. I think I get him confused with that one guy who’s mother is really sick and his sister is a flake. I’m pretty good with names, as you can see… Anyone in Colorado wants to hit the range sometime, or anyone passing through Colorado wants to hit the range, lemme know! So, odd thing, my wife goes by Jules, and there was a song when we first started dating called Cowgirl (by Sons of Angels) so my little nickname for her has been Cowgirl… Already answered, but yes, Jayne. I’d like to consider myself more of the Mal type, but I’m probably more of a Wash/Jayne combo. I was in a fire fight once… Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry cook opportunity. ---

[QUOTE=Sunrazor] 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. [/QUOTE] That would be Captain Steve. He swoons when we call him that. And he’s really very awesome in person, as is FCM herself. Good luck finding them, though. They live seven miles from nowhere. ---

So, so, so many! VunderBob would certainly be on my list, as would VCNJ. It would be beyond cool to hang out with Qadgop for an evening. BiblioCat and I have been ships passing every-so-close in the night, but never quite catching up with each other. I already kinda hang out with **KitchenWench** via email, and **VunderBob** , too, although he’s been sorely neglecting his email duties lately. ::pout:: OTOH, I attend as many dopefests as I can, and have had the privilege of hanging out with lots of cool dopers. ---

There are several groups of Dopers I’d like to know better. I’d like to go to a beerfest with the usual crowd that show up in beer threads: **Homebrew, Stranger On A Train, August West, Clurican, pulykamell, RYBTP** , etc. I’d like to go to a gun show with the aforementioned non-psycho gun nuts, especially if we can get \*\*Martini Enfield \*\* across the pond. ( **Bob** , that would be **Sampiro** , and I’m flattered.) I got to meet **QtM** recently, so I can scratch him off my list. Then there’s the group I list under “Not Your Kind Of People” whom I’d _really_ like to know better: **Anaamika, monstro, matt\_mcl, BobLibDem, Swampy, Miller, Dio** , and an unbelievably long list of people who aren’t of my ethnic, social, cultural, etc. background. These people always make me look at things a little bit differently thanks to their postings, and I think I could learn a lot by sitting down and talking with them over a beer. Oh, and I’d also like to have a beer with **What Exit?** after my Dodgers stomp his Yankees in the World Series sometime! We really need an All-Planet Dopefest so I can meet everybody and not be ashamed I left them off this hastily typed list. ---

That would be **Sampiro** , I presume, who’s #1 on my list of Dopers I’d Like to Know. **silenus** , though, is going to buy me a beer whenever we meet. 😃 I’ve always felt **CrankyAsAnOldMan** would make an excellent girlfriend, as would **Tupug, Taters, gardentraveler** and **eleanorigby**. Boys I wanna know include **lieu** , **swampy**. And a bunch more. There are so many of you that I admire! Like … **Priceguy**. He’s one. sigh. I could sit here all day and I’d be constantly adding names. **QED.** … ---
