**maybe ** was supposed to be **may be ** but my fat fingers got ahead of my poor brain again.
I recognize your name. You’re a freaking icon, dude.
Like the Amazing Colossal Geek? How tall are you?
But have you ever carried a bowling ball on the roller coaster, or ran a roller coaster down a bowling alley, or crashed a roller coaster? Or rode one into battle?
Good, we can work with that! Can you claim to take the pictures for Google Earth?
Yeah, but who here didn’t?
“High above Cayuga’s waters, there’s an awful…” sorry, no help there.
Did you acquire any forbidden knowledge as a result?
OK, so far we’ve got:
“Following in the footsteps of Gog, Magog, and Maguyver, Jman cuts a wide swath among dopers, riding his custom roller coaster and carrying his totemic bowling ball, which contains carved within its living crystal matrix the horrific runes Eta Kappa Nu! With his all-seeing lens (17 megapixels), he not only recalls all he views, he downloads it for indexing, too!”
Whadda ya think?
I’ve got to agree with some other posters about having a recognizeable screen name. I haven’t been around very long, but many Dopers seem to remember me for some reason…
Well, I will now forever remember you as the winner of the contest for Understatement of the Year.
Seriously Jman you’re art is breathtaking. You work beautifully with so many different subjects.
Nope, sorry, I don’t recognize the name.
But I’m sure you don’t recognize mine, either. I have no clue how many posts I have, I joined twice - once a few months before TWoOMC and again whenever since mine was one of the registrations that got eaten along with all the posts. I go for months at a time without ever even logging on, so I don’t fret about no one knowing me.
I’ve been here 7 years but its been a pretty impact-free relationship. I doubt if anyone (other than the posters I know well IRL) takes note of me at all. Although one of the Mods might recall me as the dipstick who sent in their username change request Sept 11, 2001.
It doesn’t bother me.
Like, having sex with sheep. Well, not that one specifically—it’s taken—but along those lines.
Of course we know who you are!
Who’s the black private dick that’s a sex machine to all the chicks?
Jman!
You’re damn right!
Aren’t you the guy who doesn’t let people call him Jordy?
Thanks. Too bad those Opera codes became useless like a week later…
Yeah but it was still cool at the time. Nobody knew.
Jman, pretty sure I saw you in the recent thread about Germans and their attitude toward the economy…right? (Too tired to go back and look…)
Your pictures are amazing! So from now on I’ll remember you as the guy who takes really cool pictures and keeps far too detailed bowling records.
Also, you should hire Qadgop as your publicist…

Hey Jman. How many coasters have you been on? What’s your favorite? Have you ridden Top Thrill Dragster? (I haven’t yet.) What do you think would happen if an unsecured bowling ball rode a coaster (let’s say a classic woody like the Coney Island Cyclone)?
Very nice pix – you have a really good eye.
You think so? How about this: about four years ago you discovered that you’re technically Jewish, although you were raised Christian.
Hoo boy, do I wish I could use the space in my brain I keep random stuff like this for something a little more useful.
Sorry Jman, I didn’t recognize your name (hey, at least I’m honest!). But I’ll remember you now! I’m sure you don’t know who I am either. I do remember Cisco, because I saw his pic in one of those picture threads once and thought he was cute. Normally however, I find that the doper names I remember best (and recognize the fastest) are those that are really whiny/immature/ridiculously argumentative. And if you look at it that way, you should really be flattered.
The name Jman rings a bell, but I’m damned if I can remember anything else. (Just because I suck at connecting names with posts on this board, so I can’t place it to what I’ve seen you write. For all I know we might have had multi-page conversations over the years, but it’s all slipped out of my head. :smack: )
Oh, hey, I just checked—you’re the guy who ended up marrying that long-time crush/friend! I remember that one—congrats! merciful god, please say I didn’t just open up some horrible old wound or something that I didn’t know about by bringng that up.
Er…should I ask if anyone knows who I am, or would it just depress me?
Only 6 Dopers come to mind, 3 of whom I remember only because they have a great talent for writing posts that make me roll my eyes. 2 others have commanded my immense respect through their posts, and the 6th one writes posts that consistently makes me cock my head and go “hmmmm”. No, I’m not telling which is which, except to say that I wasn’t sorry to see the annoyance named december go.
-Qadgop
-Diogenes the Cynic
-december
-Shodan
-Wesley Clark
-Libertarian
So, only 2 out of 6 were known by the virtue of good postings. To echo another response, if you’re relatively unknown (and judging from the responses, you aren’t) perhaps that’s not such a bad thing.
Ahhhh! Cyber-stalker!!!
Turned out I’m probably not even technically Jewish, btw.
