“He had a remarkable love…” - unless it is, in fact, **erislover**. “Who would you not have expected to associate with bears?” “Who should we talk to about all these darned elves that need killin’?” “If you were just starting out and wanted help building leadership skills, who would you talk to?” “I was just strolling along a street in Liepzieg and, suddenly, I smelled smoke! It was me!” And a new one from me : “Who would I talk to about Hitchhiker’s Guide trivia, mostly?” ---

> [@CandidGamera](#): > > “Who would you not have expected to associate with bears?” I’m assuming the verb tense employed points to someone who’s no longer a Doper in good standing – the quickly banned **nonpolar**. Beyond that, I’m stumped. I’d cheat by scanning the **SDMB** members’ list I bookmarked, but the page has been disabled… ---

> [@5-4-Fighting](#): > > sorry, I missed the rules stating there was a limit to the number of posts to this thread. up to now, I was enjoying your brilliant game. There are, of course, no rules to that effect - only the common sense doctrine that if we have too many active at once, some will fall through the cracks and go unanswered. It’s supposed to be fun for everyone, not just the person who can ask the most questions. 😉 ---
