Why, Deadly Nightlight, I’m doing a lot better now, thanks to you… You’re pretty cute too. If I was still at university… 
now where’d I put that time machine…
Well darn it wheres that Aaliyah song when you need it
“age aint nuttin but a number”
Sends a drink sunspaces way and winks
Deadly Nightlight, I’d just like to mention that I think your nickname is really cool.

Gracias, I would like to add I used to pronounce your name Danthy Man for the longest time, then hooked on phonics worked for me;)
Well, either works. I once kiddingly posted in one of those “name origin” threads that my name came about because I am from the country of Danthe, or something …
Unfortunately, I wasn’t on Isle Royale today. Anyway, I think I’m too nearsighted to see that far.
Gosh, I’m flirting with Muffin and Lockz. I feel like such a vixen.
You’re never a vixen when flirting with me, look!ninjas! You’re merely educating & helping Canadian men better relations with the United States through their women! See? International cooperation! Good things are happening here.
Flirting is good for the soul.
I feel the pain of South Carolina. Actually, I’m right here in Irmo. I was going to let my lurking continue and dodge posting, but seeing another South Carolinian, much less someone else from Columbia, is fair enough motivation.
I’m a straight, white, male who stands 5’7" (and a half!) at about 130 lbs. I’ve got dark brown hair and darker brown eyes. I’ve got a decent tan, but my bare bottom is white as… well, a bottom. I like to think that my height has no bearing on my personality, but upon analysis I guess you could say I have a bit of a Napoleonic complex… like, I want to conquer Europe, freeze my ass off in Russia, and then get schooled by a British guy twice my height. Sound fun yet?! Truthfully, though, I’m pretty easy-going. I like to laugh and love to joke, though the two are often mutually exclusive (jokes… and funny jokes, tsk tsk). I love to shop (for clothes, mostly. Express for Men, Banana Republic, Armani Exchange, et cetera) and love my car (and many others) more. I have a modest knowledge of Latin and a laughable knowledge of Italian. I like movies, particularly ones about gangsters or other cheesey action-dramas. Typical John Malkovich kinda stuff, you know. You’d be hard-pressed to find a time period that has no scrap of music that I like (please don’t take that as a challenge). Um, I fenced for three years and have been thinking about getting back into it. I have great hand-eye coordination and I’ve been told that my manual dexterity is superb (wink wink). I think that’s about the sum of it.
This entire post is disjointed and ugly, but what can you do? Please don’t think it reflects too directly upon poor old me.

I don’t know why I’m doing this since I think the only female Doper within 1000 miles is married, but if anyone is interested in e-mail exchange…
Single Asian (Japanese) male, 29, grad student. Astronomer and rocket scientist (sort of - most of my astronomy research involves designing instruments to put on rockets). Addicted to the SDMB and currently obsessed with weird bicycles. At least I spend as much time riding them as tinkering with them so I’m reasonably healthy and fit. Bilingual as a result of spending 1/3 of my life in English-speaking countries, currently trying to find a way to move to the US. (Promising lead on a job in Huntsville, AL. but not confirmed yet.) And I’m not quite as impersonal in real life (or private communications) as my posts might suggest.
Oh, what the heck. I’m looking for someone to date these days…
SJF, 29 (turns 30 in January), pretty physically fit (I’m a grad student, hoping to get my master’s soon. My research is in forest ecology, so I do quite a bit of hiking while carrying heavy things.)
I love to read (I’m partway through a book called The Life of Pi right now, and I just finished re-reading The Unbearable Lightness of Being.) I also love to travel, even though I haven’t done that much of it, and I enjoy learning about different cultures, languages, music, cuisine, etc. I’m also a pretty big foodie, and I like to cook.
I don’t smoke, and I don’t drink very often. It’s cool if you’re a beer-on-the-weekends kind of guy, but I can’t date a smoker. Sorry.
So…any Doper guys interested in a men’s-jeans-and-T-shirt-wearing, no-makeup, semi-nerdchick who willingly plays with bugs in Columbus, Ohio? I’d be happy to have e-mail pals, too.
Oh, yeah–forgot to mention–
-
I have a slight pot belly these days. Gone is my time of almost-flat abs. And the hips are a little wider than what’s usually considered the feminine ideal.

If you could sing a capella harmonies with me, that would be great. (I’m an alto.) I haven’t had anyone to sing with for quite some time.

Practitioners of sarcastic humor and bad puns are welcome. Same deal for guys with a keen sense of the absurd. Firesign Theatre fans a plus.
In an SDMB thread for ruttin’
with those doper babes cute as a button,
as a how-do-you-do,
I said “hi” in haiku,
and the total replies so far: nuttin’.
Do, Scribble, kiel vi fartas?*
Ever read Tad Williamson’s Otherland? It’s massive, 3000+ pages in four volumes, but it’s got this cool virtual world where the insect researchers are the size of insects…
[sub]*“So, Scribble, how you doin’?”[/sub] in Esperanto
Although you said ‘hi’ so well,
Haiku for extra,
The ladies seem too busy.
So many posts here
my eyes are starting to strain
I must’ve missed you
Two flirt threads, one week…
Something has changed, maybe me…
This flirt thing is fun!
Oh boy, is it time to go to sleep…things were about to reflect quite interestingly upon you, because in skimming this thread, I misread your name as Axel Rose. Now that would have been a surprise.
Would you be cool with someone who will be totally smoke free by the end of the month?

Robot Arm, Robot Arm,
here in this thread, better
never than late;
Can’t, unabashedly,
verbal-gymnastically,
anticlimactically,
still get a date.
