[QUOTE=Skald the Rhymer] What is a “heart”? [/QUOTE] Why do you ask such hard questions!? Okay, lemme see – it’s a metaphor that uses the actual heart, the correct functioning of which is necessary for all life, and the location of which in approximately the upper center of the torso makes it central to the body, as a metaphor for the emotional center of that which makes us human. Yeah, that, what I said there. That’s where I have a soft spot for Polycarp and his Anglican ilk. ---

I would have to say… **Anaamika** , she seems like an interesting person, **Skald** , I imagine I could start him talking about nearly any movie or book and listen in fascination for ages, **Sampiro** of course…gotta love those southern gentleman types. 😉 There’s gotta be a bunch I’m forgetting, but those three would be at or near the top of the list. ---

I’m not worthy to carry on a conversation with them, but I would like to observe a discussion among **tomndebb** , **Bricker** , **Sarahfeena \*\* and beagledave because they always have something to teach me about my religion. And throw in** Diogenes \*\* to stir things up. And I’ve had a soft spot for **lno** ever since the thread about the spider in his garage. [bad paraphrase]We have a pact. The spider stays out of sight and I don’t scream like a little girl.[/bad paraphrase] And **Siege** has interesting taste in music. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=bigdfrombigd] I would love to get drunk with Lieu! [/QUOTE] I didn’t get drunk with him, but I met him when I was in Houston last year.

[QUOTE=Sunrazor] 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. [/QUOTE] Pop over to the MMP, m’dear, and follow the link to photos of me driving our new (old) boat. Yep, once you own one… And he’s really only got about 400 board feet of walnut. The other 200 board feet are cherry. Did I mention he got a couple new power tools this summer? ManLand has grown. In light of that, I can take second place to my sweetie in your affections… 😛 ---

I’m gonna meet a bunch one of these coming weekends, but I would have to add in no particular order **Cowgirl Jules** (yes, I am a little strange, BTW), **silenus** , **SuaSponte** , **Khadaji** , **robby** , **Broomstick** , **Ruffian**. . . and that’s all I can think of right now (I reserve the right to add more later) And some Dopers I’ve previously met, but it’s been awhile so I’d like to re-meet 'em: **absoul** , **SwimmingRiddles** , **chique** , **punkyova** , **lurkernomore** , **lno** , **GingeroftheNorth** , **Jessity** , aw hell. . . just about everyone that’s been at the PorkDope '02, and a handful more. Just be forewarned, when I go to DopeFests, I have run up tabs into the “four figure” range. . . and that’s just the beer and party favors. Tripler Man, it’s like a “Cavalcade of Lost Dopers” in this here post, ain’t it? ---

In answer to the OP, actually, it would be easier for me to list those I don’t particularly want to get to know, and even then I’d have to think hard about that. I’ve been able to attend Dopefests and dinner with a whole bunch of Dopers, and for the most part, I’ve had a ball. And, I’m embarrassed to admit, with few exceptions, I don’t have strong associations about specific posts tied to usernames. So unless you were spectacularly idiotic or amazingly wunnerful, I probably wouldn’t connect you with your identity here. So we’d start with a clean slate. Which means you could piss me off in person! 😃 ---

I just thought of another one… **Lissa**. I’ve always enjoyed her posts and it seems that we think about a lot of things in a similar way. I think we’d get along. ---
