cmyk, Bus Guy, nachos, beers, world class dominatrices. Let’s go!
I’ve developed a keen interest in evlkitty but she probably doesn’t even know I exist.
Qadgop the Mercotanis, of course, the greatest of our little Tolkien tribe, so he’s in, as are What Exit?, well, he’s back, **Terrifel **(mostly for the awesomeness of his snark), Elendil’s Heir, and Malacandra. Also eleanorigby; I have decided to forgive her her love of a certain movie trilogy.
I have spent many a moon perfecting a device to sap all of Sampiro’s story-telling prowess, so obviously him.
Silver Tyger Girl, both because of her love of the 'Cats and because she will beat me with a stick if I leave her out.
WhyNot, though a small part of me fears letting Mrs. Rhymer meet her lest she get ideas.
There are a few of you whose knowledge of guns, elementary particles, and classical myth I covet, but I can’t think of the names.
**carniverous plant **and **Bosca **. Tuckerfan and Autolycus.
I’m sure I have forgotten many persons, so I won’t criticize Jim for omitting me on his first run-through.
Let’s say anyone who points out when I go overboard in the Pit.
You couldn’t think of anything, huh? (ooor… you’re trying to collect on a bet :eek:)
I can’t think of many dopers whose aquaintance I wouldn’t want to meet (via PM or AIM or whatever, don’t show up at my bedroom window in the middle of the night plz!), but the tops on my list for actually sitting down and having an alcoholic beverage of my choice with are **Agent Foxtrot, Alan Smithee, SixSwords, WhyNot, olives, Idle Thoughts **(finally) and Shodan.
Each of you for very different reasons*.
*except maybe for WhyNot and olives, who I’m both tapping for a pseudo-lesbian lovefest.
**i kid, i kid. 
To keep the list remotely manageable, I’m going to have to restrict myself to UK Dopers so it would be FRDE, Lobsang, Future Londonite, and Lust4life. I rather suspect that the last and I have a friend or two in common.
Were I to journey to America…
In the sidewalk of life, I remain dog poo.
Wow! This thread has done better than I could have hoped for. Not to mention, my name is even on someone’s list! Just another reason I adore What Exit? so much. And if anyone else is even remotely interested in getting to know me, both the PM feature and my email is available in my profile.
As to other Dopers I’d like to get to know, I’d need to add mhendo, glee and Dante.
:: gives Shirley a comforting hug ::
If it makes you feel any better, I could go on a killing spree while chanting your name. I got my axe sharpened and everything, and there’s no more Entwives for me to murder. Whadday ya say?
I forgot to add **John Carter of Mars **and Ogre, cause I love me some bama boys.
To get back to the OP – most of the Dopers I would like to chat with over PM or e-mail I have managed to gather the courage to speak to. Some I’ve kind of fallen out of touch with and would like to talk to again, but it’s OK… And I’m not mentioning them below, since the OP asked about those I haven’t reached out to. You know who you are 
Dopers I’ve never been in private contact with and I’d like to include: All those MMP’ers I haven’t reached off-board, What Exit?, Sleeps With Butterflies, Silver Tyger Girl, Skald, Maastricht, Sampiro, Nzinga Seated… and I’m sure quite a few I’m forgetting OTTOMH, sorry!
Maybe I will… :o
I’d love to meet you. I always look forward to your posts.
By the way, have you checked your PMs? After reading this thread, I was sitting here at work, bemoaning my lack of doper acqaintances when I looked at my PMs and realized that I’d been PM’ed several times - last year - and didn’t realize it.
I like how you list pub crawl twice. Though I’d be afraid to try with you, I’ve done my fair share of pub crawling with the Irish before, I can’t keep up.
I would mind going for a ride with Johnny LA, and when I was in Holland a few years ago I tried to hook up with Coldfire but never could.
Hmmmm…off the top of my head:
**faithfool **- because I just dig you so much
**featherlou **- because she seems to be me except she’s Canadian and smart enough not to have kids
**olivesmarch4th **- because she is just so lovable, how could you not want to be friends?
**Dinsdale **- because I wish I were as good a parent
**Jodi **- because she’s my favorite conservative on the board
Cervaise - if I wasn’t married and he hadn’t found a girlfriend, I might have had to start stalking him
I’ve already been brave enough to contact:
Johnny L.A. - because he loves British cars
5-4 Fighting - because I love his posts and think he’s a hoot
Hey, don’t feel bad Shirley. If it wasn’t for Jim mentioning me, I’d just be sponsoring this thread for everyone else to get all fuzzy bunnied together. 
Besides, I’ve had a girl crush on you since my first Secret Santa exchange on here.
ETA: stretch!! I’m so honored! Now I feel like I’ve truly made it. Plus, I’m pretty fond of you too. But I haven’t seen you around much lately. Have we just been on different parts of the board or what?
Boy, that really warmed my bitter little heart on this gloomy afternoon.
Thanks.
But anyone could be as good a parent as me - all they have to do is try, fail repeatedly, and then try again! Seriously, I’m pretty convinced that sincere, well-intentioned floundering around is pretty much the best any of us can strive for - and is pretty much synonymous with successful parenting.
I was just thinking how it NEVER STOPS! You never master it, even when the kids are grown. Just the other day my wife and I were discussing that my daughter seems to be getting REALLY tight with her BF - like future SIL tight. Now how the FUCK do we process and deal with THAT! :eek:
OK This is going to sound big headed - but I’m actually genuinelly surprised my name hasn’t been mentioned in this thread.
AHunter3. His posts are well written and reasoned, and he’s said a lot of stuff about sexual abuse and rape that’s really resonated with me. He seems like the sort of fellow you could talk to, just in general, and even when I disagree with what he says, he says it very well.
The rumours are all true. Except the one about the gophers - I don’t know how the hell that one got started.
You know who you baseballers should meet? Dread Pirate Jimbo. He knows everything there is to know about baseball (and argued RickJay to a draw on the subject once 
).
I want to meet all the Dopers where ever I go. Next year we’re going north - you hear that, Edmonton Dopers?
Eh, don’t feel bad. I never get mentioned in this type of thread either.
Mind you, I’m a big fat bitch…
And i’m REALLY surprised to find out that I’m the one named in here. I (still) don’t think I’m that “big” among the Dopers, and I consider myself a terribly shy but VERY approachable person.
So the thought that someone felt that same way, but about ME was really wierd. O_o
That said- i’d love to get to know you (PM sent) and Any other Dopers that wish to say hello. I really am an approachable guy- don’t be shy of ME! That said though, thanks for the unexpected smile that you’ve brought to my face.
You were Zoggie? I loved seeing you in the book threads, as well as Dung Beetle, gulo gulo, koeeoaddi, twickster, delphica, and Eleanor of Aquitaine, but since we’ve already PM’d (and traded books) this is just a shout out and a thank you for being such good people.
I’d love to sit down and watch The Wire and Mad Men with 5-4 Fighting and Rubystreak, Exapno Mapcase, ascenray and a bunch I’m forgetting – everybody in those threads had great comments and really appreciated those shows.
And I’d really like to sit down and have a beer with SnakesCatLady and 3Acres And A Truck (I’ve made you a couple in my head – I think you’d hit it off) and Phlosphr, who puts his money/time where his mouth is.
And Harriett the Spry, who has absolutely the best advice for anything work-related, and just a whole lot of common sense besides. And DangerMom and Manda Jo and picunurse, and … and …
