Doper Acquaintances You'd Like to Make

[Kythereia]

All of you, really. Except for Cecil Adams, nobody wants to talk to him.

sends What Exit and Mr Bus Guy a particular drink, and snog

@alice_in_wonderland

Eh, don’t feel bad. I never get mentioned in this type of thread either.

Mind you, I’m a big fat bitch…

Well, I’m a big fat bitch too, and I admire the way you handled the baddies in the White Elephant and think you are da bomb for not going postal.

So there.

[phil417]

I’d like to have coffee with Norinew. I live in Michigan, but if i were ever in Maryland, I’d like to stop in. We could trade stories about raising girls.

Love, Phil

@Silver Tyger Girl

I don’t really count as a MMPer, do I?

Au contraire – you count as an MMP’er and as someone I’d like to get in touch with, as an individual…

[wolfstu]

@Justin_Credible

I’d also like to name a few people who I really like: lilgypsygirl, Br’er Lapin, ivylass, Litoris, CarieD(sp?), Sarahfeena, Jonathan Chance, Argent Towers, wolfstu. I’d love to talk to any of you anytime.

My goodness, I’ve been posting so little in the last couple of years I didn’t think anyone would know I was here, let alone find me interesting. Thanks! I do, in fact, also remember enjoying your posts, and that’s not just a polite reciprocation.

Feel free to add me on any of the IM protocols listed in my profile, or to send me an email. Be advised, though, that I’m the King of Busyvaria this semester, so I’m not online a lot; don’t take it as a snub.

Alright, I added you on ICQ.

My list: everyone who tried to avoid looking at this thread, because they figured “hey, what’re the chances I’ll be mentioned … probably won’t be … well, heh-heh, I could check, I mean, I know I won’t be mentioned but what if I was … okay, not on page one, I don’t really care, but I’ll just sneak a peek at page 2 … okay, not there … well, I didn’t care. Really, I don’t care. Honest. I’m not disappointed.”

Those people. They are the Doper acquaintances I’d like to make.

[Cicero]

I’d like to meet all the Australian Dopers- from the top of my head Kambuckta, Bites When Provoked, Martini Enfield (sort of Australian ), Cunctator, The Loaded Dog and Princhester.

Apologies to those I have missed.

[3acresandatruck]

@AuntiePam

And I’d really like to sit down and have a beer with SnakesCatLady and 3Acres And A Truck

Well, thank you kindly! And I’ll pay for the pizza, because otherwise, I’m a really cheap drunk. I was sitting here trying to figure out what I might have said that got your attention, when it suddenly came to me: it must have been my spirited defense of mutant candy canes last holiday season.

[Dung_Beetle]

your name here

[bbs2k]

@Dung_Beetle

your name here

Yay!

[Starving_Artist]

:: channels Joe Walsh ::

I’d like to meet all the people that nobody said they wanted to meet.

[cmyk]

I’d like to meet that lurker who’s reading this right now. But’s never posted. Yes, you.

[Dung_Beetle]

Shh, they don’t know we can see them!

How did I miss that? No, it was how you handled the situation with your helpful neighbor who mowed down all the trees you planted.

[Ellen_Cherry]

That gentleman cmyk! He’s a prince!

I forgot to tell who’d I’d like to meet, beside Mr.  there; lieu, of course, since he’s so darn funny, and kind; Baldwin, since he’s so darn nice (also); DianaG. because she’s bitchy in a good way (and she might loan me a purse); Caricci, so she doesn’t put a curse on me; Sampiro, for all the usual Because He’s Sampiro reasons.

Oh heck, and everyone else. I haven’t been around for nearly 10 years because I don’t LIKE you ALL!

[Grey]

Intersting idea. I suppose the Canadian contingent of RickJay, featherlou, spoon, sam stone, bookkeeper and company would rank pretty high up there.

The Tolkien crowd (and I can’t do better than What Exit?’s list) have always come across as interesting and a good bunch to have drinks with.

And finally there’s a bunch of dopers that have teamed up over on Travian to try and win. So now there’s USCDiver, Ellis Dee, LT Rico, Algher and company I’d find interesting meeting up with.

[VunderBob]

@ShelliBean

I want to make homemade cashew butter and go to outdoor art shows with WhyNot, and visit **VunderBob ** for coffee in a diner to see if his small town is as much like mine as I think.

I’d love to meet you in a diner in Mayberry, but there ain’t any.

However, a diner I used to frequent in the town where I grew up, Goshen Indiana, was featured in an episode of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. I’ll meet you there…

You like me! You reallly really like me!

While I was trying to avoid listing specific people, you’re on my list, because of the neat places you’ve lived, and because you seem like a cool person.

I have a very large group I would like to go to a baseball game with and a large group that I would like to meet up with for a long Entmoot. (Tolkien Fans) The two groups have some overlap and a good chunk are on my Contacts & Friends. Then there are a few other I just like and would like to meet.

Squee! Somebody picked me! Of course it’s probably because I had just posted or we have the same initials or something like that. I often mistake What Exit? for myself in threads because I just notice the capital W & E. I think of him as my posting twin … except he posts nothing like me.
I don’t want to single anyone out so I’ll just say everybody, except for that one really annoying poster. You know the one I mean, the one who’s always posting and saying stuff. Yeah, that one.
