I’ve been snogged!
People I forgot the first time, or just remembered now, whichever is least offensive:
Litoris - Slightly cynical, very strong, funny, and not afraid to be proud of her family. Oh, and hot.
Snakescatlady and VunderBob: Hockey, beer and… well - hockey and beer.
Lissla Lissar: You’re always baking something I want.
Anaamika: Once and for all!
Anyrose: Smokey and Cuervo must meet.
Gosh, there are so many cool dopers! The list would be endless. Why do y’all think I’ve tried to start, not one, but TWO dopefests in my hometown Maastricht, eh?
But anyway, to name some names: I’d love it if WhyNot, Shirley Ujest, featherlou, dangermom, fessie, Twickster, MandaJo, Marinee and **faithfool **lived on my block (and not just my cyber neighborhood :). Then I could drop by, sit down at the kitchen table, and ask for wise advice and/or just have silly fun.Featherlou and fessie would give me no-nonsense advice, non sugar coated, but always spot on; and, from their posts, I feel I have a lot in common with both Faithfool and Dung Beetle.
As for the doper gentlemen, again too many to mention. I still hope that Sunspace finally manages to come to Holland. And I imagine hanging out with Ianzin or Der Thris, if a little intimidating (both have very low tolerances for nonsense) very interesting.
But again, there’s so many more! Many Dopers that don’t post often have written posts that resonated with me; it’s just that it takes a while, and a LOT of posts, to start recognizing a certain name. That is not the same as a popularity contest.
First on my list is each and every one of the regulars in the MMP, including the furriners. If I named them all, this list would go on for pages… Y’all know who you are.
Others, in no particular order:
Twickster
Norinew
Veuve_CliquotNJ
NoClueBoy
St. Urho
Sampiro
Qadgop_the_Mercotan
Khadaji
Tuckerfan
Bittersweet (is she even still around?)

TubaDiva, though I doubt she’d like another scandal of that type
LynnBodoni
SkipMagic
Jonathan Chance
Ellen Cherry
Johnny L. A.

Shirley Ujest

Mr. Bus Guy,
DianaG.
At this point, I’d like to meet anybody.
I’m really Ok, with not being on anyone’s list…I have already made two really good online acquaitances…faithfool and dangermom.
Also several casual acquaintences with the yarnies on this board who are also at Ravelry.
I would like to go shopping with DianaG.
As perverse and demented as that sounds, I am strangely comforted by it.
I would like to meet all the Doper Wimmen and all the Doper Men.
Except for the ones that are creepy and live in their Mom’s Basement.
That stain next to you is me, the cat pee
Hey, I’ve been called that too. But only in the nicest ways. Ok, the truth is, most of my best friends just call me a bitch. I remind them that I’m big and fat, just in case they haven’t noticed
Nah, it’s not so bad. I tend to get more worried when people WANT me to join their group, like what’s wrong with THEM?
And yes, I had to read this thread just to make sure I was not mentioned. And yay, it worked 
Some of us like you but were afraid to let you know, because it would be creepy that some of us (not naming any names of course) might have sort of a strange internet crush on you. Just sayin’.
Well, yeah, there is that, isn’t there? :x
Hey, I came in here just to post something similar. You just beat me to it 
Yeah, this too
Oh, good, that would be me. YAY! I guess the rest of my drivel right here is meaningless, now. Oh, well
Don’t wish too hard for something. You just might get it
You’re quite welcome. Now, if you’l excuse me, there’s some hobbits over here who clearly don’t need any many heads as they have.
With all this talk about meeting other Dopers, I’d like to give the shyer ones a word of encouragement. Jim and I have met a bunch of Dopers in a bunch of places now, and every time we’ve had a great time. If you get a chance to go to a Dopefest, GO! There’s a reason we all hang out here - it’s because we’re (mostly) compatible.
Inexcusable, but understandable. I’m antisocial.
Indeed, it wasn’t until I got the nerve to go to a dopefest that I stopped lurking and started posting more, for better or worse.
They’re some of the coolest and funnest people I’ve ever met. Yes, I said “funnest.”
I keep hoping to meet some nice single Doper gal from this corner of Washington state.
But no, not yet. One day… one day, in the dim distant future, one day I aspire to be dog poo.
Rotter!
Can I grovel and plead that I was restricting myself to Brit-dopers?
Sorry, this post and dopername combination cracked me up.
Where do you live, Hermit?
No, you’d just be standing in an even deeper hole than before because I AM A BRIT DOPER!
I should say I certainly enjoy all of the Britons on the board. So interested in american politics, yet somehow that idea gets associated with Monty Python. Quartz, Illuminatiprimus and others - I definitely enjoy reading your posts do you ever have dopefests?
