Okay, I’m curious as to how attentive and intuitive the regulars here are.
Having enjoyed your company immensely I propose a test. A challenge in two parts actually. Second part is optional but for the sake of the challenge give the first part a go.
*The question: *
Who is dpr? What do you know about him?
Part One
Initial observations. Things you can recall right this instant. No looking back or going elsewhere.
Part Two
Research. Speculations, generalisations, facts, statements made AFTER (or if) you go away from here and see my name on other threads. Use your deductive reasoning powers.
I’ve cruised around a number of threads and conversations and been perfectly honest so there’s a fair bit of info out there, but it is diluted.
Don’t hold back or be concerned with my feelings. Call it as you see it. This is to satisfy my curiosity not my ego.
I’m away for a few days but I’m looking forward to seeing your skills (and memories) put to the test.
Indirectly inspired by Coldfire and Moosegirl. Blame them if this goes horribly wrong/sucks.
Hmm…don’t know who you are, really. I’ve seen your posts a few times- don’t get me wrong, I’ve only seen them, not read them. Still, the fact that you post is a good sign, and I haven’t read anything bad about you, nor anything bad you’ve written, so I wouldn’t worry too much.
I seem to recall you identified yourself as an Australian, in response to my thread of about or so ago. I may be mistaken, but I thought you said you worked in the finance industry, and that you lived in or around Melbourne.
As for part 2, I reckon you’re a bit of a lurker. You read lots of threads but only post to the few to which you feel you can make a positive or humourous contribution. It goes without saying that, as a Doper, you are an intelligent and informed member of the species. As to what you look like, God only knows…
As a matter of fact dpr, i think i may know you, hehe.
I also live in melbourne, and i study economics as a part of my course. Hmmmm…let me see…you must be one of my lecturers…Ian Ward?? Geoff Spenceley?? Dietrich Fausten?? Ian Wills??..nah…can’t be…can’t imagine them as dopers.
Ok, I definitely remember you being from Australia.
What else???..
I spend a lot of time in IMHO, and I recall several things about you off the top of my head:
You like scalp massages and you find near-touch experiances erotic (I remember this because you posted right after me and agreed with what I said :))
You loved seeing Garth Brooks in concert - I recall this fact because I want to see him too, since he was very impressive during the Central Park Live concert.
I seem to remember something about Hudson’s Hawk being a fave bad movie…and Last Action Hero too, right? I just read that thread like twenty minutes ago, which is why I remember. Sorry if I am wrong.
Batman vs. Superman - I believe you picked Superman (like everyone else with any intelligence! :))
Also, I tend to lurk in GD, and I remember reading that you are agnostic, like me.
See, most of these I remember because we have something in common or because I read the thread recently, so I am not that talented! Also, I may have confused you with DRY (as I did when I first read this thread) so pardon any incorrect assumptions.
Hi, dpr. Me again. Now, let’s see… You love to flirt, you’re from Australia, you have a wicked sense of humor I quite enjoy, and you’re a man. You were kind enough to notice my thread count and start an excellent party for me. And I know your first name IRL. What else do I need to know about you?
Now I’ll have to go check up on you to answer part 2. I’ll get back to you on that, as I have a busy day today.
