I have a personally autographed copy of the October '99 Playboy that Claudia Christian posed for. Signed by her to \*me[/i.]

😃

And I’m the only Doper that has one.

Nayh, nayh! 😛

“I am the silliest doper but it seems only IRL. A few times I have mentioned to friends that I am noted for being serious on a message board. They had a great laugh at that one. I say exactly what I am thinking which is usually pretty unique (don’t wanna say weird but well, golly gee, guess it probably is).”

No, silly. I’M the silliest Doper. I act silly on the board and, depending on where I’m at and who I’m with, IRL. I don’t know if I say exactly what I’m thinking so much as I try to figure out what I’m thinking by saying it. I think.

I think because I think too much, I’m the Doper who manages to confuse herself the quickest.

I’m also the Doper who smiles the most. A smile is the default expression on my face. Even when I’m trying to be official and serious, I’m still smiling. 🙂

Yeah, but do you have the original, very first, Playboy, with Marilyn Monroe? I do. I also have an original Playboy Club membership card and key. Top that.

The few, the brave, the insane with boredom, one of the few dopers who not only lives in Indiana but is also 20 minutes from GARY!

The longest haired Doper (waist length).  
Only Doper who had tuberculosis.  
Doper with musical CDS in the most languages (18).  
I must be in the running for Doper who makes the stranges posts.

**Lucretia** ’s hair is several inches longer than waist-length, and she’s not exactly short in stature.

I’ve read a fair number of your posts, **Annie** , but none of them have struck me as particularly unusual by the (stringent) standards of this board. It takes a lot to be considered weird around here - so many of us are pretty far off-the-wall by everyday standards.

Almost 50. Not even close. But I was still proud. Hey, were yours all write-ins, or were you on the ballot? Maybe I could be the Doper who got the most people to _write in_ votes for public office. That’d be cool.

So, I’ve got over 500 music CDs, although most of them are in English. I’m sure someone else can beat that, but I’d like to see. Any takers?

Nope. I also swing left.

I’m the only doper to have met Rob Halford, the lead singer of Judas Priest. He also autographed a CD for me.

**Annie Xmas, RTFirefly** MY hair is down to my knees. And purple to boot, so nyah.😃 (How do you spell nyah?)

I’m the only poster who has ever had a seven centimeter diameter dermal cyst (a benign tumor) removed, along with her ovary, after said ovary had twisted around 6 TIMES and pinched off it’s own blood supply. I hope.

I’m the only poster who’s been eating mint chip ice cream on and off all night.🙂

I am the Doper with the fewest number of posts (this is my first one).

It is possible that I may not be the only one, but I have had the honor of being PREAPPROVED for several credit cards.
